HOSPITAL NURSES
PLANNED STRIKE
Those IN Grace Have Grievances But
Threatened Walkout Is Averted
On Attorneys Advice.

What would have been one OF the
most unique strikes on record came
close to materializing last Saturday
night.
For some time past a number OF
the nurses In Grace hospital have
felt that they were being overwork-
ed and otherwise shabbily treated.
complaining particularly about the
loss of half holiday each week,
privilege enjoyed by Grace hospital
nurses for many years. Recently, IL
Is averred, the hospital authorities
reduced the half-holiday to couple
OF hours. Also included in the list or
grievances was report 10 the enect
that all the nurses are obliged 10
work II hours every day and some
times IA or more.
The nurses refrained from making
a complaint TO the matron or DIR. w.
l.. Babcock, the superintendent, fear
ing that they would lose their posi-
tons. However, those who felt I'M
posed upon got their heads together
and decided to inaugurate strike
last Saturday night. They figured
that such course would bring the
reforms they sought. But the pro-
posed strike didn't come OF, the
would-be strikers having been advis-
ed by their attorney not otake such
drastic measures, inasmuch as they
were not unionized.
The nurses, however, do not In
tend to let the matter drop. They
will probably place the matter be-
fore the board of trustees, through
the agency of an influential friend.
and feel confident that they will get
redress. They say they are certain
that the members of the board are
not aware of the way they are work
ing and being treated.
Supt. Babcock told The Times,
Monday afternoon, that he had not
heard of the nurses plant to strike,
and even denied that they entertain
ed such an idea. He also said that
lac had not heard of any complaint
from the nurses. Moreover, he main
rained shat the nurses were not be
log oyerworked; that they were moi
even working IL hours a day, only
about eight, and that the half.holiday
| per week had not been reduced to q
couple Of hours.
! Yet The Times informant, whs
claims to be In close touch with wha
Is going on In Grace hospital, declare,
that the strike was planned. and tina
he has good reason to believe tina
the nurses are justified In their com
plants.
