Answers All Specific
Allegations.
WAGES NOW CUT DOWN
Food Is Good-Oleomar-
garine Used in Prefer
enCe to Butter.

Ex-Surgeon General F NJ Gunnel,
president Of the board Of visitors for
St. Elizabeth's Asylum and chairman
of the special committee appointed by
that board TO make an investigation
of the alleged labor troubles at that
institution. said today that the board
OF visitors would be called together next
Tuesday, and a report submitted by his
committee.
This committee. he says has visited
the asylum. and has probed thoroughly
into the complaints made through the
newspapers, by number of employees.
No Cause for Complaint.
Surgeon General Gunneu said:
we have been unable to find any
cause for complaint among the en-
plOyes. and, in fact. the alleged dis
satisfaction appears 10 have been
greatly magnified. SO far as the wage
scale is concerned. there has been no
cutting down of wages. put rather an
increase, since the scale mas been so
systematized by DR.. White that it gives
opportunity for promotion and increase
OF pay along with such promotion.
The distinction has Deen drawn be-
tween attendants and nurses to en-
by which they viii benent themselves
and also the institution.
Food of Good Quality.
with reference to the food question
DR.. White could not possibly be held re-
sponsible for the present rations since
the provisioning Of the hospital is mad,
by yearly contract commencing witt
June OF each year. In that way. ol
course. the rations furnished during DR.
Whites incumbency were those whicf
had been provided for under the year,
contract. We find, furthermore. that
this food is not Of inferior quality.
For the past four years the hos
pital has been using oleomargarlne
finding it necessary to do so on ac
count Of expense. This question wai
passed on four years ago. when tn,
board visited the asylum and made ;
test Of the two produces. They wer
unable 10 detect any material differ
enCe in the flavor; in Tact. some o
the members OF the board thought III
oleO product was the best.
Food Alike for All.
NO distinction is made in the foo

fcials. and the superintendent himsel
shares the food that is furnished {

so far as specific charges as to tn
mana cement Of the hospital are con
cerned. none has been filed with us
Officially. therefore. the board has NJ
cognizance of any trouble at the asy
