Municipal League to Probe County Hospital Food Scandal
The Municipal League will discuss the county hospital issue with a committee likely to be appointed to investigate. Central Labor Council members are preparing a report for Wednesday evening. Mrs. Bettinger and Miss Krueger of the Humane Society visited the hospital to examine management and meals. Patients describe meals as poor, often inedible, with repeated complaints about milk, eggs, and meat quality. Henry Bryant, an orderly, is praised by patients for his dedication during a strike against the steward and housekeeper who are blamed for the poor conditions.
