  The successful tender was reported in “The Argus” of 29 November 1913, just above a letter to the editor: “Sir, the paragraph in The Argus of 25lh inst regarding a threatened strike nurses at the Wonthaggi Hospital is incorrect. We would thank you to correct same as follows - (1 ) That no decision of the nurses to go on strike was placed before the house committee on Sunday last as there was no meeting of the committee on that day; (2) That on no occasion have the nurses threatened the executive in the manner stated. In justice to the staff generally we trust that you will publish this denial. -Yours, etc, A. O. CHAPMAN, President, G. R. ABRAHAMSON, Secretary, Wonthaggi District Hospital.”
