Say Supplies Are Inadequate.

When one of the nurses complained
against the quality of the food. it was
stated. she was told the food was bet
ter than she got at home"
The Stars informant declared there
is constant fight for proper ward sup
plies Some of the nurses. she said
have bought certain supplies out of
their own funds rather than protest or
suffer in the eyes of patients and their
friends the humiliation of not having
such supplies.
Ono special nurse" she said. f"or-
dered certain item of diet for a pa
tient. and it was refused. Rather than
have the hospital criticised she went
outside and bought the required food
This is only one Of many such in
stances"
nurses are more than willing to ap-
pear before the woman m embers of the
hospitals board of managers and give
their story, and that the pupil nurses
eagerly courted such an opportunity to
state their grievances and to show the
excessive hardships and disadvantages
under which they work
The woman members Of the board"
said The Stars informant. do not know
these things: IL they did we feel GER
tain the conditions would be remedied
at once"
If undergraduate nurses leave the
hospital because they can no longer
stand the overwork and poor food IL
was stated. they can only complete
their training by beginning at the bot-
tom at another hospital, and going
over the work they have already done
This is true even il pupil nurse has
completed all but few months of her
three years training. Further. il was
asserted. nurses who by reason of III
ness are compelled to be absent are
required to make up the time thew
have missed. adding ii to the end of the
three years. One nurse who had moi
recovered from an operation for an
abcess was sent into the contagious
ward. where in her weakened CONDITION
she contracted scarlet fever. The time
she was out on this account has been
added TO her three years of training. il
was stated.
The conditions complained of have
existed for long time" said the nurse
From time to time complaints have
been made. but the compliments have
been browbeaten and threatened with
dismissal and their complaints never
reached the board of management Now
however. owing to various causes con-
ditions have become intolerable and
unless they are remedied Immediately
II Will be impossible for the nunii
nurses longer to bear them"

When John Anderson walks from ana
OF the prisons in Philadelphia tomorrow
morning at the expiration of a sentence
of three months for alleged theft OF
watches, he Will greet Detective Jacob
Berman OF this city. but the cordiality
probably will all be on the side of the

city on three charges of housebreaking.
Anderson formerly resided in Hagers-
town, Md. He came to this city several
months ago. found employment, and, it
is alleged. also found a way to assist in

turned against him and he will be ar
raigned in Criminal Court when he is
returned here.

Table Service "Intolerable."

There Is no supervision in this depart

The food for the nurses however, is
left to the Indifferent. slipshod mercy of
servants who know that no one watches

are not sufficiently thorough: hence,

but four of the pupil nurses Three of

The petition presented to the su-
perintendent stated in effect that although
the signers realized their importance in
the management of the institution. it
was a physical impossibility for them to
continue their work unless conditions
were altered
For the sake Of our patients and our
selves" the petition concluded. I'VE re-

NURSES GO HUNGRY,
PETITION CHARGES.
Students at Garfield Memorial
Hospital Threaten to Go
on Strike.
IMPROVEMENT is PROMISED

Petitions signed by all of the pupil
nurses at Garfield Memorial Hospital
protesting against excessive overwork
and undertaking at the hospital. pre-
scented to the superintendent of the In
stftution recently, have resulted. 1t Is
stated, In definite promises that the
conditions protested against are to be
remedied at once.
The petitions, which set forth briefly
the state of affairs against which the
signers protested. contained the asser-
ton that II these Objectionable condi-
lions were not remedied the entire stan
of pupil nurses would refuse to remain
on duty longer than one week after
the presentation of the complaints. The
petitions were presented June %. and
1t is stated the conditions objected to
have not vet been wholly corrected.
The impending strike, however. was
postponed to permit carrying into eff
feet the promised Improvement.
A graduate nurse formerly connected
with the hospital. in a statement to

quently compelled to remain on duty
constantly from 7:30 am. to $3.50 pm.
This condition, she said. is due to the
fact that the number of nurses. both
graduate and pupil. Is too small to
handle the work. and that sickness
and other causes frequently make it
necessary for one nurse to do the work
of two.
