Mrs. George ID. Colt, president, and
Mrs Frank A. Roath. first vice presi-
dent, of the United Workers. on We'd
nesday made the following statement
to The Bulletin regarding the success
full work of the United Workers and
just what the City Mission is doing
now:
Statements recently appearing in
the newspapers relating to the giving
up of the outside poor relief work of
the City Mission department of the
United Workers have seemed to create
an impression that the entire work of
the City Mission department was to be
discontinued, if not the entire work
of the United Workers.
Nothing of the kind was intended,
and probably nothing of the kind would
be permitted by the Norwich public.
The exigencieS of the situation at the
beginning Of the year required the cut
ting down of expenses. On the whole
1t seemed that the greatest reduction
could be made in the City Mission de-
partment without sacrificing efficiency
and although for more than a year
persistent and determined efforts had
been successfully made to reduce eX-
penses in that department, still work
ON hand at the beginning OF the year,
though greatly reduced in volume, re-
quired more money than the friends of
the United Workers We're willing to
put into their treasury for that pur--
pose-even after special efforts had
been made to enlist the corporation
of a wider circle of business men
After full conference with the gen.
tlemen members of the advisory board,
and, at their suggestion, the executive
committee of the United Workers, at
their March meeting, decided to dis
continue the giving of orders for food.
fuel. clothing, medicine, etc, except in
a few special cases known only to
them, and to turn over to the town the
work OF furnishing such material aid
TO the most of the families then under
their care. since it was felt both by
them and by the giving public that
the outdoor relief work of the City
Mission was practically identical in
kind with out outside poor work of
the town. and that so far as material
aid was needed it should not be
burden upon both private and public
funds.

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 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 a half holiday each week, a
privilege enjoyed by Grace hospital
nurses for many years. Recently, 1t
Is averred, the hospital authorities
reduced the half-hOliday TO couple
OF hours Also included In the list oil
grievances was report to the erect
that all the nurses are obliged 10
work II hours every day and some
times ID 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 to take 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 plans to strike,
and even denied that they entertain
ed such an idea. He also said that
he had not heard of any complaint
from the nurses. Moreover, he main
tanned that the nurses were not be-
ing overworked; that they were not
even working IL hours a day, only
about eight, and that the half-holiday
per week had not been reduced to
couple of hours.
Yet The Times informant, who
claims to be in close touch with what
Is going on in Grace hospital, declares
that the strike was planned, and that
he has good reason to believe that
the nurses are justified In their com.
plants.
