a HOPE FOR SETTLING NEW YORK WALKOUT BLASTED AT PARLEY Union Refuses to Negotiate Un- til Strikers Are Reassur- ed of Old Jobs New York, March 12.—(?}—Mou»- 4ng hopes for an immediate settle- ment of the crippling city wide build- ing strike were blasted Thursday by union leaders who presented an ul- timatum to employers after a night- Jong parley which adjourned with the end of the walkout apparently in sight. James J. Bambrick, local president of the building service employes union, said flatly that the union would not participate in further discussions until the right of all the strikers to return to their jobs was recognized as a preliminary to arbitration. “Every man must return to his form- er position,” Bambrick said. “We can- not even discuss the question.” The union and operators’ represen- tatives in their all-night session brought one of the first optimistic notes of the strike by agreeing on an impartial arbitrator and were balked of a settlement by only one point when they adjourned. Adamant refusal of both sides to give in the issue of reemployment of the striking building service em- ployes whose walkout has affected almost 2,500 buildings, it was learned, caused the adjournment. Both sides agreed to name Ferdi- nand Sillcox, head of the United States forestry service and former head of the New York Employing Printers association, as the impartial arbitrator when negotiations reach that stage. ig Arbitration, however, cannot start until the deadlock on reemployment of strikers is broken. DR. WILLIAM WILMER, EYE SPECIALIST, DIES Noted for His Skill, Famous Surgeon Treated Both Rich and Poor Alike Baltimore, March 12.—(?)—Asso- ciates here were informed of the death Thursday of Dr. William H. ‘Wilmer, 73, internationally famous eye specialist, at his home in Washington of coronary thrombosis, a heart ail- ment. A pioneer in the study of diseases of the eye, Dr. Wilmer was as noted for equal treatment of both rich and poor among his patients as for his skill, which was world-famous. Among his patients were royalty and presi- dents of the United States, as well as numbers of poor and unemployed Persons unable to pay anything for their treatment. One of his most noted patients was King Pradjahipok of Siam. The king was examined by Dr. Wilmer in 1931 Preliminary to an operation for a cataract on his eye which later was removed by Dr. John M. Wheeler of New York. Dr. Wilmer treated several presi- dents, among them Theodore Roose- velt, and many other famous men, in- cluding Viscount Gray of Fallodon and Sir Auckland Geddes, former British ambassador to the United 6tates. Tested Flyers’ Eyes Besides his long practice in civilian eye diseases, Dr. Wilmer pioneered during the world war in the field of testing the eyes of would-be flyers to learn whether they could stand the Strain of air service. Later he was Surgeon in charge of the medical re- Search laboratories of the A. E. F. in France. Perhaps the outstanding event of ‘Dr. Wilmer's career was the realiza- ‘tion of his hope for establishment in this country of an institution for the furtherance of research in ophthal- mology. In 1922 a group of his patients and ‘other friends, recognizing the desire for a wider scope for his activities, formed the William Holland Wilmer Foundation. This foundation, in co- operation with the Rockefeller Found- tion and the Commonwealth Fund, raised nearly $4,000,000 for the erec- tion and endowment of the Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute in con- mection with Johns Hopkins Univer- sity and the university hospital at Baltimore, Md. Directed Foundation At the time of its establishment it ‘was the only institution in the world offering an opportunity for the study ‘of every phase of ophthalmology. It ‘was placed under the direction of Dr. ‘Wilmer, and in addition to its re- Search work on eye diseases and its clinical treatments, the institute pro- vided for the education of American ophthalmologists who previously had heen obliged to study abroad, He re- mained as director until 1934, when the returned to private practice in ‘Washington, D. C., where he began his medical career. Dr. Wilmer was the son of the Rt. Rev. Richard H. Wilmer, Protest- ant Episcopal bishop of Alabama. He was born in Powhatan county, Vir- ginia, August 26, 1863, and took his M. D. degree at the University of Virginia in 1885. After study at var- ious hospitals in New York and abroad, he served on the staffs of the New York Polyclinic and Bellevue hospitals. In 1891 he married Re Lewis Smith of Pennsylvania. They had @ daughter and two sons. Many stories were told of Dr. Wil- mer’s kindness and popularity among his patients, many of whom he saved from blindness or to whom he re- stored sight. An unemployed cobbler, ‘whom Dr. Wilmer treated without charge, later sent a contribution all the way from the Pacific coast when funds were being raised for the Wil- mer Foundation. The moving spirit of that drive was Mrs. Henry Breckin- ridge of New York, who had been re- lieved of blindness by the skill of Dr. h .

Vand pocket MAYORS ENDORSE WORK RELIEF AND ASK FOR BIG FUND Additional $2,340,000,000 for Continuance Next Finan- cial Year Sought Washington, March 12—(7)—An additional $2,340,000,000 to continue work relief during the next financial year was proposed to President Roose- velt Thursday by the United States conference of mayors. s The mayors’ conference, embracing the heads of the 100 largest cities of the country, said it was unanimous in endorsing the policy of work relief as opposed to the dole and likewise un-. animous on the necessity for continu-| . ing WPA. The report was submitted to Presi- dent Roosevelt by Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia of New York City, chair- man, The report was received by the president as he: was preparing to conclude his own study of relief needs and submit recommendations to con- gress for funds for the next year. “As chief executives of these major cities,” said the memorandum of Mayor La Guardia, “we are of the opinion that any honest and impartial analysis of the work being prose- cuted in the important cities of the country will reveal that practically every project represents a useful and, in most cases, a permanent public improvement. “and finally, it is apparent that the city officials of America will never consent to the abandonment of the work principle in giving relief assist- ance.” The LaGuardia memorandum said that the mayors were asked three principal questions: First, whether work is the proper method of meet- ing the unemployment program as compared to the dole and idleness; second, whether the WPA program constituted useful work; third, does useful work remain to be done un- der a continued WPA program.

The youth was in weakened con- dition from an months’ duration. He drove up town with his father and said he would walk home. He was last seen near his home. His father said he did not believe the youth would visit relatives. Dis- appearing in the height of a bliszard which swept Moorhead Wednesday, blocking all roads, it was deemed im- probable he may have hitchhiked out of the city. If the Legion is called out, it will be the second time in six months it has lent assistance in locating persons. In September the entire city was aroused to a three-day hunt be- fore Donald March, 6-year-old school boy, was located unharmed. * —— | Some Comments on Whisker Proposal illness of several Mrs. J. P.

I’d hate to see my men folks with any such, adornment.” Mrs. George Shafer—“Of course I'd have to judge it by my own husband, and I wouldn’t want to see him going around with whisk- ers.
