It is curious to note how hospital construction may be modified by events apparently so remote from its design as in- dustrial disputes.. Newcastle workmen and the truck bill. In view of the immense support given by work- ing-men to the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle- upon-Tyne, the resolution lately passed unani- mously by the governors disapproving of the pro- posal to amend the Truck Acts so as to prevent deductions from wages in the form of subscriptions to hospitals is highly significant.
