Coupled with the report OF a
contemplated new currency
issue was another that the pres
ent system of rationing would
be abandoned about Dec. Is and
it's place taken by a single sys-
tenn of higher prices for un-
rationed goods.
The Soviet government in
September, 1946, raised the
prices of rationed goods in the
hope Of blotting up excess cur
rency, officials recalled.
The Voice Of America" said
that a run on shops selling dur
able goods would be evidence
that the devaluation reports
were believed by a large pro-
portion of Moscows population.
Although the broadcast was
carried in virtually every Ian
guage used by the State Depart
ment's official radio, it was not
beamed to Russia itself.
1t said the rumors reached
such proportions that a main
Moscow department store, Nor
stas, closed its doors last week

CHARLOTTE, Dec. 3-CP,-R.
z. Thomas, Jr., administrator OF
Charlotte Memorial hospital, said
tonight that he would meet with
nurses of the hospital tomorrow

He said the nurses will be ask

institution can afford to pay all
of its employees the salaries, they

Mrs. Marie 3. NOEL of Raleigh
executive secretary of the North
Carolina Nurses association, an
nounced in Raleigh today that 70
of the 80 nurses at Memorial
hospital had authorized the
nurses association to act as their
collective bargaining agent.
She said she had written
Thomas asking for a conference
on increased pay, a 44-hour
week, and other benefits. But
that he had refused to meet with
her.
Thomas said he had written
Mrs. NOEL that fortunately it is
unnecessary" for such a confer
ence since any hospital employe
is free to talk to the adrninistra-
tor at any time.
Thomas said the hospital now
pays general duty nurses $l35 a
month plus maintenance with So
increases every six months up
to $3.50 with two or three weeks
vacations with pay.
The Nurses association has ask
ed for 5000 a month without
maintenance or $3.50 with main
tenance, 44-hour work week,
wage increases of $40 month
each year for three years and
other benefits.
Thomas said the pay scale at
the hospital is on a par ,th all
other institutions in the state ex-

ed the nurses letter reject
ing the salary increase offered by
the hospital, and then quoted the
letters of designations received to-
day from the nurses.
In conclusion the statement said
that:
'The management repeats that
it has attempted to deal directly
with it's professional employees
and stands ready at all times to
discuss with them any subject of
Joint interest. The Board has so
expressed itself many times to
the nurses; it welcomes this op-
portunity to say it to them again
publicly, and in spirit of whole
hearted friendliness and coopera-
ton"
The statement indicated that
the board will remain adamant
in its refusal to recognize the Or
ganization of the staff nurses. In
this move they have received the
support of the physicians of the
hospital staff who issued state
ment frowning on collective bar
gaining as ''unprofessional."
The doctors statement follows:
THE medical staff of the James
Walker Memorial hospital does
not wish to become a party to
any controversy between the en-
ployes of the institution and the
board of managers or the ad-
ministration; however, the doc
tors are vitality interested in the
welfare of the sick and ther cfore
ir good hospital care.
I'VE feel that there is lerit in
some of the demands made by
the nurses, but we hereby 60
on record as opposing any form
Of collective bargaining by any
group of employees of the hos
pital with any agency outside OF
the institution or with any in
dividual not employed by the in
stitution, and we condemn
strike against the sick as unbe-
coming to the nursing profession.
THE administration of the hos
pital has been directed by the
board of managers and has al
ways signified a willingness to
meet with any employe Of the
hospital or any group of en-
ployes of the hospital to promul-
gate salaries and working condi-
tions commensurate with the
general welfare of both patients
and employees.

of the James Walker Memorial
