parishioners' protests, Methodist
Church trustees are scheduled to meet
here Sunday to determine what action,
If anv, to take against him.
The trustees will discuss these three
questions:
Is it un-Christian to fish on Sunday I?
Was the pastor guilty of negligence
in leaving his church on Sunday and
engaging a supply pastor to take his
place when he went fishing?
What action should the board take
in regard to the minister's conduct?
Mr.. Larrowe left the supply pastor
in his place last Sunday-opening day
of the trout season. He caught eight
fish, attended services in another
church, and then remarked:
When look back over the day, I
feel that I have spent Christian

WORKERS OPPOSE
GALL|NCER HOURS
Vote to Garry Fight to D. C.
Commissioners and
to Congress.

Organized employees of Gallinger
Hospital voted in meeting last night
to carry to the District Commissioners
and Congress their protests against
unusually long working hours and in
adequate personnel at the hospital.
The meeting of employe members
OF the United Federal Workers of
America was held in the psychopathic
ward auditorium. The workers, most
ly orderlies and kitchen workers,
adopted a resolution opposing pro-
posed additional wings for the hospital
because Of the fear additional en-
ployes might not be hired.
Commenting today on the meet
ing. DR.. Edgar A. Bocock. hospital
superintendent, said he concurred with
the sentiment Of his workers and was
in favor of concerted effort to bring
about fair and modern working con-
ditions."
I am thoroughly in sympathy with
the principle of reasonable working
hours" said DR.. Bocock. Il have made
every eHort to get the hospital budget
increased. The patients, on the other
hand, have to be taken care of, and it
behooves the workers to do all they
can to carry out the task"
DR.. Bocock termed as without foun-
dation" the intimation that employees
risked official disfavor or discharge
because of their protests.
The workers cited the following con-
ditions in their protest: A working day
Of II hours with one day off month;
only two attendants to guard 80 psy-
chopathic patients: work Often too
heavy to permit lunch period; and
a 72-hour work week for male
orderlies.
The protest is to be presented to
Commissioner George E. Allen in q
