Description

Several women were overcome by gas fumes from leaking pipes while sewing on a WPA project at 1108 West Thirty-fifth Street. Those who were not treated on scene were taken to Georgia-Street Receiving Hospital where they were effectively treated.
The five patients lie on hospital beds, fully clothed. One woman has a rag resting on her forehead, and Nurses Stuart and Partin attend to another woman, giving her an oxygen mask.
Story related to photograph appears with the article, "Gas Fumes Stir Panic," Los Angeles Times, 03 Mar 1936: A1.
