BULLOCK SUSTAINS
FIREMAN'S CHARGES
Tells Hylan Dr.. Smith and
HirshfieId Should Go.

William Bullock. director of the Good
Government Bureau, wrote to Mayor
Hylan yesterday that 1t was clear to him
that the known facts in the case OF
Henry F. Williams, the fireman who was
ordered back to work by DR.. Joseph E.
Smith, chief medical officer of the Fire
Department, when the fireman was en-
cased in a plaster cast with severely
injured spine, called for the removal Of
DIR. Smith.
Furthermore, Mr.. Bullock said. the
fact that David Hirshfield. Commissioner
of Accounts, had practically exonerated
the doctor after an investigation, simply
saying that maybe he had made a
mistake. called for the removal of the
Commissioner OF Accounts.
The director OF the Good Government
Bureau also said he believed a wholesale
inquiry into tho medical branch OF the
Fire Department was necessary. He
cited two cases which he said had been
given to him by a member OF the depart
ment, declaring the morale and discipline
Of the organization was being destroyed.
One case alleged that after man had
been rejected for deafness his record
was changed to hearing normal" and
he was accepted. Another case alleged
was that of a man twice rejected for
impaired vision but later accepted.
Mr.. Bullock also made this suggestion
to the Mayor:
williams has expressed the opinion
his difficulties at the hands of city Off
Gers followed his Ming OF a suit for
$4,000 damages against the American
Railway Express Company. In the event
OF your ordering an inquiry by other
than the Office of the Commissioner OF
Accounts, l suggest that Il be established
whether a former employee Of this cor
poration and who now is a fireman, was
transferred to Engine Company No. 10,
on or about the time Williams filed this
suit
~ also suggest that Inquiry be made
whether an agent OF this corporation,
following the filing of the suit. held fire.

Fire Department who might have Official
influence in Williams's case"

time that every elevator in the big
building suddenly stopped and refused

The firemen had gone on strike. only
six men-those who work on the shift
that keeps the engines going through
the latter part of the afternoon. They
had walked out leaving their fires blaz-

plosion. Chief Engineer Joseph Finch
back had been obliged to shut down the
whole establishment to prevent a catas-
trophe.
And the action OF these six men had
stopped every elevator in the building
which occupies the entire square block
from Madison avenue to Fourth. They
had crippled the business facilities in
hundreds OF big offices. They caused
thousands of people to congregate on
