“T. 8.” PATIENTS STRIKE
WILL HAVE THEIR SMOKE Objecting to the posting of notices prohibiting smoking during tubercular treatment, 48 men at the Killingbeck Sanatorium, Leeds, picked up their belongings and walked out. It is stated that they .had a previous grievance over the curtailment of absence from the institution during afternoons. “The new orders, which were approved by the city council, stopped all leave,’ said the medical superintendent, and said that men must work and do exercises from 9.30 a.m. to 11.30 a.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., during which time they must not smoke or play games. ‘‘Notices were put up to that effect, but the rules were not quite carried ?Hsr. . Fresh notices were exhibited and the men went on ‘strike.’ If they like to come back they can I can only leave that offer open for about 24 hours.”
