|Dr. Rutland Favors
Retention Of Upshur
In Report 10 Mason

A report justifying the continu-
ance of the Upshur Street Hospital
submitted by Health Officer George
c. Rutland to Commissioner Guy
Mason, is expected to be discussed
today at meeting of the Commits
sionerS.
DR.. Rutland gave the report to
Mr.. Mason, who said that he would
urge closing the hospital unless it
was actually needed for handling of
tuberculosis cases. Mr.. Mason
charged that it was being used as a
flop house by convalescents, who
were working part time or all day at
jobs outside the hospital.
Dr. Rutland has let it be known
that he favors continued use of the
hospital. He has pointed out that
81 acute cases of tuberculosis are
awaiting admission to Glenn Dale
Sanatorium, which was forced to
reduce its number of patients last
summer because of a shortage of
nurses, doctors and nurses assist
ants.
Eleven patients have been released
from Upshur Street since the mid
die of this month, five for disciple
nary reasons, and DR.. Daniel L.
Finucane, head of Glenn Dale, has
reported some 40-odd" patients that
might be moved from his institution
to Upshur Street. This would pave
the way for new admissions to Glenn
Dale.
Mr.. Mason said that the contents
of Dr. Ruhland's report would not be
released by him until submitted to the
other Commissioners DR.. Rutland
said the report did not deal with the
report of District Auditor Arthur r.
Pilkerton. claiming that in a Is
month period only $4,000 out of
1921 900 had been collected from
paying patients of Gallinger Mu-
nicipal Hospital.

Health Department
On Trial Incident

Informed that DR.. A. Barklie
Coulter. head of the tuberculosis
Bureau of the Health Department
refused to wait in court long enough
to press prosecution against tu-
bercular man accused of failing to
remain isolated, the Commissioners
today called on the department to
prevent recurrence of such an Incl
dent.
The city heads informed the
Health Department that 1T was the
opinion of the Commissioners that

l AS pm, but Mr.. Wixon said he was
informed by DR.. Coulter that he
could not remain to testify because
he had an appointment with Health

that the case would be dismissed by
the court for want of prosecution
and quoted DR.. Coulter as stating
that the case would then have to be
dismissed.
Mr.. Wixon said that none of the
department witnesses reappeared at
the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion and that when police officer
called DR.. Coulter at pm. he was
informed that the doctor could not
return.

tinuance of the case for several
days, but the request was refused
and the case dismissed for lack of
prosecution. The court had refused

Randolph 10 Ask
War Prisoner
Work Curb
Action by Congress
To Protect U. S. Labor
Is Seen Necessary

Protesting that prisoners Of war
should not be given work that takes
jobs from free American labor,
Representative Randolph, Democrat,
of West Virginia today said he
plans to introduce a bill to prevent
prisoner employment in services "or-
dinarily performed" by skilled labor.
He said he believed the time had
come for legislation by Congress
because there had been reports from
various parts of the country of pris-
oners of war being treated too
we'll"
A recent instance, he said, were
protests of prisoners being employed
for work on the Newton D, Baker
General Hospital at Martinsburg,
w. Va, which drew objections from
Washington and Cumberland (Md)
officials of the United Brotherhood
of Carpenters and Joiners of
America.
II do not believe prisoners of war
should be used on skilled or semi
skilled construction. thereby d.
rectly interfering with the rightful
jobs of American free labor" said
Mr.. Randolph. Certainly, if they
come into conflict with organized
or unorganized workmen for jobs,
Congress should enact legislation
setting a clear-cut policy"
Protests against the Baker Hos
pital project were made by B. Black
burn, secretary-treasurer of the
Carpenters District Council of
Washington, and by F. Patrick Al
lender, president of the carpenters
organization of the Cumberland re-
gion.
The Randolph bill provides that
the Secretaries of War and Navy be
directed to take such action as may
be necessary to prevent the use by
any department or fundamentally
of the United States of prisoners of
war "for the performance of services
of character ordinarily performed
by skilled labor"
