How Can Salaries
Go Upward?

WASHINGTON. — Now that
the President has given his ap
proval to a plan to place postal
employees on a 48-hour week, a
drive for a readjustment of
Federal sa been revived.
And The LEADER has been in-
formed that the drive won't stop
until it reaches the President,
A new approach to the problem
was being studied in Washington.
Briefly, it proposes that Congress
turn over to the President or to a

board authority for fixing fair
and equitable salaries,

Federal salaries, by and large,
are either fixed now by the
Classification Act or directly by
Congve The Cl: fication Act
1s a creation of Congress. It is

hard and fast and nothing ean be
done about it unless Congress
changes the law.

For example; Five years ago
marine architects were worth a
dime a dozen, ‘Today marine

architects are worth their weight
in gold. But to Uncle Sam they
are worth the same today as they

ave the same,

That, of course, is a ridiculous
situation, but it is true neverthe-
less, It would take an act of
Congress to change the salaries
paid marine architects,

Navy Yard Wages

Wages of Navy yard employ
ave determined by a wage board
and it has worked out pretty well.
The Navy wage board has worked

out much better than the Army
wage boards that determine
wages for Army arsenal em-
ployees.

A wige board, operated fairly
and squarely, would appear to be
the best sort of thing for Federal
workers,

Now that postal employees are
practically assured of getting paid
straight time for Saturday work,
other Federal workers can point

the

» t precedent and say to
Uncle Sam:
“What about it Uncle, aren't

you going to treat me as well as
the postal worker?”

It's a potent argument and peo-
ple high in the Administration in
Washington know it. ‘That's why
there is a study on at the very
minute on a plan that would at-
tempt to treat employees equally
in the matter of overtime, hours
of work and other working con-
ditions,

Civil Service in War

One of the LEADER’S Continuing Series of War Reports .

The United States Civil Service Commission, faced with the
necessity of adjusting itself to the needs of a nation at war, has
made dramatic changes in its proCedures. These changes affect, in
one way or another, all persons in Uncle Sam's employ or to enter

his employ during the war,
randum outlining these changes.

The Commission has prepared a memo-
Because we consider them of such

importance, we run the memorandum in full. All federal employees,
all who have taken federal tests, all who plan to enter government

service, are urged to read this memo carefully, It follows:

1. Background

A. In August and September, 1939, the Commission adopted two
sets of plans) namely, one which it stated it would use in the event
of a national emergency und a second which it stated it would use

in the event of war.

B. During the latter part of May, 1940, the Commission put into
effect many of the procedures called for by both sets of plans,

For the next few months, the Commission made between seven
and eight thousand placements a week in the War and Navy Depart-

menits alone,

©. As the defense program developed more and more rupidly, the
Commission finally came to the place where it had placed in effect
all of the revised procedures called for by the plans which it had
developed in August and September of '39,

‘The placement load in tne War and Navy Departments: xept in-
creasing until it reached an average of between thirteen and fifteen
thousand placements per week just before the outbreak of war.

D, Since the outbreak of war, the placements in the War and
Navy Departments alone have been runuing between 25,000 and 28,000
per week, The monthly workload for all departments is running be-

tween 120,000 and 130,000.

This sharp increase in total worklond, coupled with an increas
ing insistence on speed and more specd in the filling of positions,
made it necessary for the Commission to take another Jook at all of

its operating procedures.

As a result of this audit, we became aware of the fact that we
were, in effect, running two production lines, We were operating one
set of procedures for the purpose of conferring the normal civil serv-

ice

tatus. We were operating another set of procedures for the pur-

pose of making appointments for the duration of the war under au-
thority of an Executive order which the President had signed in May

of 1940,

As a result of operating these two sets of pro
being forced to devote a great deal of our time,

on pape
purpo:
the war agencies.

Consequently, we decided to recommend to the Pri

adures, we were
y. and resources

pner

work and procedures which otherwise could be used for the
e of making a direct contribution to the filling cf positions in

lent the issu-

ance of an Executive order which would enable us to handle appoint-

ments for the entire service, with the exception of the field
lishments of the Post Office Department, in accordance with e

stab=
‘-

ency procedures with the understanding that persons appointed n-
der these emergency procedures would serve for the duration of the

war and for six months thereafter.

The President accepted the recommendatoca of the Commission
and issued Executive Order No. 9063,

2. The War Service

Regulations

A. Acting under the authority
granted to us by the President,
the Commission has released to-
day to all departments and inde-
pendent establishments the new
War Service Regulations, ‘These
Regulations become effective on
Mareh 16 with the exception of
that portion of the Regulations

dealing with the question of
transfers, The transfer regula-
tions became effective on Bebru-
ary 27.

B. Here are some of the ob-
jectives which lie back of these
Regulations:

To bring
whereby:
(1) A maximum speed in the fill-
ing of all war positions is at-
tained,

The Commission utilizes its
resources for the purpose of
rendering the maximum of
service to war agencies
‘The war agencies of the Fed-
eral Government utilize the
Commission as the central re-
cruiting agency and eliminate
all duplication of recruiting
activities,

‘The Commission recruits per-
sons who are not on its foi
mal lists of eligibles in order
to fill vacancies whenever in
its judgment such action is

about a condition

(2)

(3)

(4)

necessary in order to facill-
tate and expedite the war
program.

‘The Commission announces
competitive examina tions
when the establishment of
formal eligible lists will expe-
dite and facilitate the re-
cruiting und placement of the
best qualified persons for the
war program,

‘The Commission will, In furn-
ishing names of eligibles and
in direct recruiting and place-
ment, give consideration to
apportionment provisions for
the departmental service so
far as such consideration is
consistent with the objective
of placing qualified and avail-
able persons in the quickest
possible time under existent

(5)

(6)

housing conditions in Wash-
ington,
‘The Commission will, in furn-
ishing names of eligibles to
appointing officers, give to
persons entitled to disability
preference first placement op-
portunities and to other vot-
erans placement opportunities
in the order of their aug-
mented ratings.

©. One of the most significant
of the new Regulations is Regu-

(7)

lation 1V, which deals with the
subject of recruiting and place-
ment.

Government is today appealing
to the war industries of the Gov-
ernment to channel their recruit:
ing activities through the United
States Employment Service in
order to provide the labor market
controls which are essential if our
manpower is to be used in the
most intelligent possible manner.

Clearly, Government should
practice what it preaches, Conse-
quently, these new Regulations
provide that no veeruiting activ-
ities are to be carried on by Gov-
ernment agencies without the
prior approval of the Commission,
The Commission will not permit
recruiting activities to be carried
on which yiolate any of the over-
all labor supply policies estab-
lished by the Government.

This dovs not mean that the
Comfnission will assume the total
operating load as far as recruit-
ing and placement is concerned.
Tt does mean, however, that the
resources of the Commission and
the resources of the various
agencies will be pooled and will be
operated under an over-all plan
developed by the Commission,

D. The Commission has adopted
the position that if it is going to
insist on all of the war agencies
of the Federal Government rely-
ing to a greater extent than ever
before on the Commission as the
central recruiting agency, it must,
in turn, be sure of the fact that
there is nothing in its own pro-
cedures which impedes or retards
the war program, It has also
taken the position that it must, as
a Government agency, make sure
that all of its resources are ren-
dering a direct constructive serv-

ice to the war program and that
it is not spending time, energy,
and money solely for the purpose
of “pushing papers around,”

Consequently, all of the other
Regulations are designed to in-

ase the effectiveness of the
service that the Commission has
been and is rendering, and to
make sure that all of its resources
are used for the furtherance of
the war program.

Some of the most significant
changes in the Regulations fol-
low:

1. Control of the Commission's
examining workload.—Section 4 of
Regulation 1 provides that when-
ever the number of applicants for
a. competitive examination exceeds
the anticipated needs of the serv-
jee the number of persons ad-
mitted to the examination may be
limited to a number commensu-
rate with the needs of the service,
Whenever the number of appli-
cants is so limited, applicants will
be examined in the order of the
receipt of their applications.

The Commission does not feel
that it will be necessary to invoke
this particular Regulation very
many times, The labor market is
now so tight that the number of
instances where the available
supply will exceed the demand are
very few and far between,

When, however, such instances
do occur, this Regulation will
make it possible for the Commis-
sion to do just as much work as
it is necessary to do in order to

serve the war agencies and no
more.

2. No Maximum Age Limits.—
Section 4 of Regulation II pro-

vides that there will be no maxi-
mum age limits except where the
appointing officer establishes to
the satisfaction of the Commission
that the interests of sound ad-
ministration require such limits
for a particular position.

This is, of course, a recognition
of the fact that with the kind of
labor market conditions which ex-
ist at the present time the fullest
possible utilization should be
made of persons in the upper age
brackets.

8. Rating of Papers.—Under the
new Regulations papers will be
rated in one of two ways, namely,
either “Eligible? or “Ineligible,”
or by the use of numerical
ratings.

In general the line of demarcar
tion will be as follows
(a) Where the demand for qual

fied eligibles exceeds the sup-
ly, persons will be rated

(b) Where the supply of eligibles
exceeds the demand, the Com-
mission will assign numerical
ratings to competitors,

In other words, all the Commis:
sion is asking is, where we know
that every one who is eligible is
going to have an opportunity for
appointment, why waste a lot of
time, energy and money in assign-
ing numerical ratings? In such
instances the relative order of eli-
gibles is unimportant. In each
instance we will simply do our
very best to malke sure of the fact
that persons are placed in the
Kind of positions where they can
render the maximum of service to
the war program,

Where,- however, the supply ex-
ceeds the demand, the assignment
of numerical ratings helps the
Commission to move quickly in
placing the best qualified persons
in positions,

In both instances, in the listing
of eligibles and in the referral of
eligibles for placement purposes,
veterans will continue to receive
the preferential treatment hereto-
fore accorded.

4. When noncompetitive exam-
Inations will replace competitive
examinations,—As indicated above,
the Commission still intends to
handle a large part of its recruit-

48-Hour Week for Postal Workers
Will Affect Entire U. S. Civil Service

WASHINGTON. —The plan to
place many postal employees on
a 48-hour week and pay the em-
ployees straight time for the ad-
ditional eight hours is rapidly
nearing reality.

That the proposal was under
consideration was reported ex-
clusively in The LEADER.

Here are the developments:

1. The Budget Bureau original-
ly disapproved of the Post Office
plan for a longer work week on
the ground that it would add to
the inequities in the Federal ser-
vice.

2. Postmaster General Frank
‘Walker appealed to the President

over the head of his Budget
Bureau and the President ap-
proved it.

3. The Senate Committee on

Post Offices and Post Roads re-
ported out the bill favorably with-
out even holding a hearing.
Chairman MeKellar plans to call
it up for action on the Senate
floor within a week and speedy
approval is anticipated.

4, On the House side, hearings
will be started today (Tuesday)
on the bill before the House Com-
mittee on Post Offices and Post
Roads. Some opposition may be
expressed at the hearings and
minor amendments may be made
but the basic part of the bill will
be approved as written, Chair:

tral source for disseminating all

sary by rapid war-time changes

working in this outgrowth of the“

Office of Government Reports’
U. S. Information Service now
operating. The office, from cur-
rent plans, would remain open
from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. The 140
employees to be hired would
supplement those now on hand.

Lowell Mellett, director of the
Office of Government Reports, is
to head the new service. Mr.
Mellett estimates fully 80 percent
of queries will be answered sys-
tematically by the super service,
that the remaining 20 will be
turned over to a staff specialist.
When the latter is stumped, the
visitor will be turned over to the
representative of the agency deal-
ing directly with the problem
These liaison persons will have
offices in the super center,

A nuwmaber of officials in the
capital are insisting that the new
service will eventually mean noth-
ing more than another agency re-
ferring most question seekers to
the individual agencies and there-
fore just adding to the red tape.

Nevertheless, the Office of Gov-
ernment Reports is seeking a
supplemental appropriation from
Congress for operating expenses
for the new service. The building
is now being completed with
funds of the Public Building Ad-
ministration,

man Romjue admits that.

‘The bill merely gives the Post-
master General discretion to work
postal employees more than 40
hours a week, It gives him the
discretion to pay employees who
work more than 40 hours straight
time for the additional work or
compensatory time off within 30
days,

To Apply Plan at Once

Postmaster General Walker says
frankly that he plans to place
postal employees on a 48-hour
week wherever needed when the
bill is approved.

Under the present law postal
employees must be given compen-
satory time off within five days
for work over 40 hours. The only
exception is the last three Satur-
days in December. On those three
days the local postmaster has au-
thority to give employees either
compensatory time off or else pay
them straight time for the Satuc-
day work,

In brief, the bill proposed would
place the service on a year-round
basis as it now works the last
three Saturdays in December.

Objections

There are several important ob-
Jections to the bill. ‘They are: it
would discriminate against low-
paid custodial workers in the
Post Offices. These people wili
continue to work long hours but

No Easy Task
To Staff Wage-Hour

Big mystery this week in con-
nection with the apparently
smooth functioning Wage - Hour
division of the U. 8. Depart-
ment of Labor in New York was:
how could individua's in Washing-
ton be informed that the Gotham
Wage-Hour setup is completely
staffed while the New York of-
fice still has jobs open?

Yet this was and is
what has been happening.

James E. Dodson, business man-
ager of the Wage-Hour outfit at
1560 Broadway, Manhattan, shed
this light on the muddled sub-
ject:

1, About 100 persons have been
held up in Washington. These
are the individuals expected to
transfer from other agencies.

ing by announcing open competi-
tive examinations,

‘The Commission is, however, re-
celving every day m@hy requests
for personnel which call for per-
Sons with highly specialized and,
‘n many instances, unusual quati-
fications, In filling such requests,
the Commission will, instead of
‘nnouncing open competitive ex-
minations, utilize its Interdepa:
mental Placement Service, its Na-
‘onal Roster for Scientific and
{peclalized Personnel, its National
“mergency List, or any other
Source which will yield the best
Persons for particular positions.
(lls procedure will be followed
Uhenever in the judgment of the
;Jmmission it can render a better
htvice by so doing than it would
a" ible to render if it announced

ormal examination.
wi, When formal lists of eligibles
Gul not be used.—At times the
fy mission, when called upon to
ta, Positions, will have available
rmal lists of eligibles, but, at

the same time, it may ascertain
that there are persons available
for the positions who are better
qualified than those who hap-
pened to file for the examination
which resulted in the establish-
ment of the list of eligibles, When
this happens, the Commission can,
under the new regulations, exer-
cise it s discretion and ap-
prove noncompetitively the ap-
pointment of persons who are not
on its lists. The sole test in such
instances will be what the Com-
mission can do to make sure that
the very best qualified persons are
put in the war positions.

6, Relation between exceptions
noted above and provision that all
recruiting must be channeled
through the Commission.—In con-
sidering the exceptions to normal
procedures as above noted, it
should be kept in mind that these
will be exceptions made by the
Commission, and the exceptions
should be considered in the light
of the regulation whic provides
that all recruiting activities must

be carried on under the direction
and supervision of the Commis-
sion,

‘The Commission believes that if
it is to discharge its responsibil-
ity as the central recruiting
agency in the most effective pos-
sible manner, it must be in a
position to exercise its judgment
as to the best way in which to
handle specific situations.

7. The Trial Period.—What has
formerly been referred to as a
probationary period will be re-
placed by a trial period. Section
3 of Regulation V provides that
except for persons appointed for
a specific period of one year or
less the first six months of serv-
ice shall be a trial period, satis-
factory completion of which shail
be considered part of the entrance
examination,

8. Promotions.—Promotion pro-
cedures will be the same as here-
tofore,

9. Removal Procedures. — These
procedures will be the same as
heretofore,

they won't be paid straight time
for hours over 40. Neither will
rural carriers or the departmental
force in Washington,

The Dill, unless administered
from Washington by a fixed
policy, will lead to discrimination
between the clerks, carriers and
the like who work more than 40
hours in one week, A_politics-
playing postmaster would be able
to pay his favorites overtime and
make the others take compen-
satory time at dull periods. Under
the proposed bill, you must re-
member, a postmaster will have
30 day to give compensatory time
instead of five days,

And what will happen to the
substitutes in the offices where
there is plenty of help available?
The truth is that the subs will
be about frozen out of jobs [some
provision may be made in the bill
to protect the subs—Ed,}

Walker, in asking Congressional
approval for his plan, said he was
opposed to ‘hiring a large number
of permanent employees to do the
extra work because in the post-
war period postal revenues would
decrease which would mean a re-

duction in staff. By working
present employees a six-day week,
he argues, the readjustment

period can take care of itself by
placing employees back on a five-
day week. No permanent em-
ployees would then have to be
paid off.

Arthur Sherwood Flemming,
dynamic young U. S. Civil Ser-
vice Commissioner, takes on the
lion's share of work when it
comes to tieing in the recruit-
ing efforts of the Commission
with the needs of Government
agencies in war,

TRANSFERS

Looking for
A Change? ~

WASHINGTON, — Field em-
ployees of the United States Gov-

, ernment are eligible to be trans-

ferred to war agencies under the
President's plan which is being
administered by the Civil Service
Commission, The only exception
is postal employees, Object is to
transfer employees in agencies
with a low to agencies with a
high priority rating,

Field employees in the New
York City area who may desire
transfer to agencies with higher
priority ratings will be handled
by the second district office at
641 Washington Street. The sec-
ond district will undertake to con
sider applications for transfer
only from those persons who are
not now working at their highest
skill. Thus, as one official ex-
plained it, a typist who might
want a transfer to an agency with
a higher rating will be consid-
ered if, let us say, she also knew
how to work the Dewey decimal
system in addition to her typing.
The second district prefers that
persons desiring transfers com-
municate by mail,

Indications this week pointed to
an appeal in the case of the five

imperiled by a decision handed
by Supreme Court Justice
eule

down

Justice Sicuer, in his decision,
invalidated the examination on
the basis of which the borough

claimed that the test was d

Commissioner William Wilson,
of the Department of Housing and
Buildings, insisted that ‘the men
will continue to be employed in
this department as usual until
their status is entirely cleaved up.
And they aren't provisionals,
either.”

‘The appeal will not be launched

A recent meeting at 902 Broad-

Emergency Welfare Centers will
be created to provide information,
ash allowances, rehousing, cloth-

may be found necessary.

As soon as an air raid alert is
sounded, each Emergency Welfare

assigned workers, who are Wel-
fare Department employees aided
by volunteers,

Operating procedure has been
worked cut in great detail, with

that “fear causes them to oppose
these proposals.’”

“Older people may not fear this
resolution if the type of exams
which were given in 1930 were
held instead of the type of exams
of the past four years,’ Mr, Di-
nan said.

Herbert Bausch, vice-president
of the Association of Competitive
Employees said that it would be
“a breakdown of the merit sys-
tem."

In fayor of the reduced experi-
ence requirements for clerical
tests were Paul Ziporkis, Ben Al-
pert, and Michael Klein of the
State, County and Municipal

pointed out that in 36 of the 44
services, the general rule of six
months eligibility applies. ‘“There
is no logical reason why clerical
employees shouldn't be the same,’
he said,

Older employees in his ovgan-
ization were in favor of the
change because the ‘older em-
ployee becomes a younger em-
ployee” as soon as he is promoted.

Michael Klein said that the

FIREMEN

They Work
An Extra Tour

In order to meet any possible
war-time emergency, New York’s
firemen are voluntarily working
an extra tour of duty each week,
During this tour, they remain in
the firehouse on reserve. The
principal benefit from the plan is
that each firehouse is covered in
the event an emergency arises
while the regularly assigned men
are out responding to an alarm,

Here's how the system works:
After six tours of duty on one
shift, a fireman receives a 32-hour
swing. Upon completion of this
a2-hour swing, the fireman re-
turns to work on a different shift,
Formerly the fireman worked his
eight-hour tour of duty on the
new shift and went home. Now,
under the new plan, he remains
voluntarily on duty for an addi-
tional eight hours.

A fireman who begins work at
midnight after his 32 hours off,
would normally go off duty at 8
a.m. Now, his extra tour of duty
keeps him on the job until 4 p.m.
The tours of duty and swings for
individual firemen are so ar-
ranged that extra men are avail-
able on each tour of éach day,

In Case of War

The new system also eliminates

the necessity of firemen reporting

to the firehouse nearest their
home when the recall signal is
given. If New York is ever at-

tacked by enemy planes and the
all signal is tapped out, the
firemen off duty will report to
their assigned companies for im-
mediate duty

Under the old system firehouses
located in residential sections or

neighborhoods containing large
housing developments, as
Parkchester, in the Bronx, would
be swamped with firemen. Fire

companies in lower Manhattan,
where relatively few firemen re-
side, would lose the services of
their own men.

This plan originated with the
firemen and was presented by of-
ficers of line organizations to

Commissioner Patrick Walsh.

Attempt to End Garnishment of Salaries;
Continue Operations

Loan Sharks

Salaries not subject to garnish-
ment. Notwithstanding any pro-
vision im any general or special
law, the salary or other compen-
sation of any officer or person
paid in whole or in part from the
city treasury shall not be subject
to garnishment.

That's the heart of a bill which
would vastly affect the living
conditions of thousands of New
York City civil service em-
ployees. City employees are con-
sidered good credit risks, Their
salaries are steady, and if they
don’t pay up, it is always pos-
sible to slap down a legal form
saying, “Salary garnisheed.”
With Federal employees this can’t
be done, Federal salaries are
secure against garnishment, But
in New York City—and in two
big departments particularly—the
number of garnisheed salaries

reaches a high figure each year. |

The bill which goes by the
Print number 1301 in the State
Assembly, introduced by Mr
Crews, Seeks to end garnishment.
The bill calls for amendment of
the city administrative code.
Should it pass, it would not af-
fect existing obligations or liabil-
ities. It would apply only to debts

riod beginning April 1, 1937, and
ending March 31, 1938; $1.5744 an
hour from April 1, 1938 to April
30, 1941; $1.62 an hour from May
1, 1941 to February 4, 1942.

Bridgemen and riveters, who
haye been receiving $1.65, will
now obtain $2.00 an hour. They
will receive the following rates
for back pay: $1.65 an hour from
January 1, 1935, to June 30, 1937;
$1.79 an hour from July 1, 1937,
to June 30, 1940, and $1.82%4 an
hour from July 1, 1940 to January

Pavers, who have recetved $1.65,
will get $1.88 4-7 an hour. For the

City M.D.’s Demand
Per Session Pay

Restoration of per annum sta-
tus to physicians, dentists and
medical inspectors is urged in a
bill now in the State Legislature
seeking to amend the civil service
law.

Behind the bill with all its
might is the Society of Physi-
cians and Dentists of Health, City
of New York, led by Dr. Mark
Vlock,

“The change to per session em-
ployment of these regular per an-
num employees after years of ef-
ficient, faithful service was unjust
and inadvisable," Dr, Viock points
out.

Hp adds: ‘The Mayor and the
Board of Estimate have refused
to grant redress in spite
peals from representatives of

introduced into the State Senate
by Mr. Joseph.

Is It Good or Bad?

One authority has informed The
LEADER that passage of the bills
ending garnishees might not be
all to the good, from the stand-
point of an employee seeking
credit. The employee will find it
more difficult to get credit, since
his salary can no longer be
touched if he fails to pay.

On the other hand, the Federal
Administration frowns on too
much credit, prefers that cash go
into savings or into Defense
Bonds rather than in purchasing
gadgets, Also, the Crews bill, by
preventing garnishment of salary,
makes it desirable for the em-
ployee to deal with reputable loan
companies and banks, and not
with loan sharks,

New Credit Plan

The Municipal Credit Union, in-

cidentally, has formulated a new

low-interest loan plan, enabling
City employees to borrow from
$1,000 to $2,000 without endorsers.
‘A 100 percent wage assignment is
required as security.

Under the new form of loan, the
borrower pays interest at the rate
of 4 percent a year, discounted in
advance. There is also an insur-
ance charge. Loans may be
spread over a period of forty
months, depending upon the
amount of the loan and the em-
ployee’s salary.

A number of city commissioners
have welcomed the new policy,
since many of their employees
needed help, The number of ap-
plications received so far indicates
that the plan is a successful one.

Harnedy Introduced It

Resolution for the new plan was
introduced by Pat Harnedy, presi-
dent of the Patrolme' Ben-
evolent Association, and seconded

by Harry Langdon, Chief of Fi-
nance and Supply, Sanitation Des
partment, “It was necessary to
correct some alleged evils in the
welfare program of the Police De-
partment,” stated Mr. Harnedy,
and he felt the new plan would
help to correct those evils,
Harnedy approached several city
banks, presented the problem to
them. One of these banks, Na+
tional City, started a_plan to as~
sist members of the Police and
Fire Departments, The bank did
not, however, extend its facilities
to members of other departments,
who applied,

Loan Sharks Still Around

One aspect of the entire situa.
tion is the loan-shark racket,
which, while perhaps not so flour
ishing as it used to be some years
ago, still preys on civil servants
who are its hapless victims. In
the Sanitation Department, it
used to be a fairly common oc-
curence (we learn this from men
who ought to know) for loan
shark racketeers to appear on pay
day and beat up the sweeper or
driver who wasn’t able to pay off.
The racketeers invariably oper-
ated in pairs—never one at a time.

To use State and Federal lists
to fill city jobs or not—that is
the question the Civil Service
Ccmmission will decide at its
meeting this week.

On Wednesday, March 4, at a
public hearing in the offices of
the Commission, representatives
of employee organizations were
unanimous in opposing the use of
Federal and State lsts for city
positions, Most important objec-
tion in the minds of the speakers
was the difference in the types of
examinations held by the State
and Federa} commissions, The fact
that federal tests are 90 percent
‘unassembled’ was stressed by
each speaker, Others thought that
the use of such lists would be un-
constitutional,

President Marsh, somewhat sur-
prised at the total lack of enthus-
jasm for the use of these lists

LISTS.

608 Gardener
Jobs Open Up

The appointments of 108 assis-
tant gardeners by the end of this
month and an additional 500 by
April 15, will be made if budget
approval is obtained for Park De-
partment plans, ‘The first batch
of thirty appointments was
scheduled for Monday, March 16,
All persons appointed to the va-
cancies will be taken from the
preferred eligible list for assis-
tant garden Because the ap-
pointments are indefinite’ in na-

ture and not ‘tempovary,” the
Civil Service Commission stated
that acceptance of the position
will remove the names of the eli-
gibles from the preferred list. In-
definite appointments are made
when a job is expected to last
mor six months; temporary

when a job is expected to last less
than six months, Park Depart-
ment plans call for the employ
ment of the assistant gardeners
for a period of approximately nine
months,

Other Appointments Set

In addition to the thirty appoint~
ments scheduled for Monday,

March 16, 40 more are scheduled
for Monday, March 23, and an-
other batch of 40 for Monday,

March 30, The remaining 500 are
expected to be made in the first
two weeks of April,

In order to fill the appointments
scheduled for April, the Civil
Service Commission certified 1
names from the preferred eligible
list for the title, Assistant
deners are employed at the
of $5.50 a day,

Should State, U. S. Lists
Be Used for City Jobs?

when no city eligible list exists,
suggested that it might be eco-
nomical to hold tests for identical
titles—such as a typist examina-
tion—for all three services, The
one list could be used by all three
commissions, He also pointed out,
that, inasmuch as the Federal
commission was using city lists,
there might be some reciprocity.
However, he hastened to add that
he had no vested interest in the
matter but was merely express
ing an opinion because no one
had volunteered to speak in favor
of the resolution, ~

One alternative of the Commis-
sion’s deliberations this week may
be the substitution of a resolution
calling for the use of State lists
‘only to fill city jobs where no
lists exist,

Incidentally, the Federal gove
ment has not hesitated to re
New York City lists wherever it
could to fill U. S, positions,

Fire List Fills
Conductor Jobs

Twenty-four conductor vacan-
cies are being filled this week by
eligibles on the fireman list, A
total of 81 eligibles on the list
was certified by the Civil Ser-
vice Commission for the 65 cents
per hour jobs in the subway sys-
tem, The highest eligible reached
on the certification was number
2,476,

All of the fire eligibles can-
vassed for the conductor jobs
were notified that they would be
removed from the fire list for a
period of one year if they ac-
cepted the conductor positions,

Hospitals Request

The eligible lists for main-
tainer’s helper, group A, B, and
D, were certified to the Depart-
ment of Hospitals to fill positions

tenance,

‘The maintainer’s helper lists
were established as a result of
examinations held for employ-
ment in the Board of Transporta-
tion, Because of the wide variety
of skills among the men on these
lists, they have often been certi-
fied to other departments for ap-
propriate positions,

A total of 38 names was certi
fied fvom the three lists for the
appropriate hospital __ positions.
‘Twelve names up to 475 were sub-
mitted from the A group; 12 from
the B group to number 1,232 and

Jobless Insurance for State Employees
If Ehrlich Bill Passes Legislature

ALBANY — Although all As-
sembly committees, except Rules,
will cease to function on Wednes-
day, March 18, the Committee on
Labor and Industry hopes to
complete its discussions of the
Ehrlich unemployment insurance
bill for State employees before it
closes up.

ployment insurance benefits for
State workers thrown out of em-
ployment exactly as the present
law covers employees in private

Brees Bill Up
For Passage

ALBANY.—Senate passage of
the Brees pay differential bill af-
fecting public employees, State
and local, who have enlisted in
one of the reserve branches of
the military or naval serv!
takes place Tuesday, March 17, a
the latest, according to Senate
Majority Leader Joe R. Hanley.
Senatoy Ben Feinberg, head of
the Judiciary Committee, was
active in delaying passage of the

bill, after he had received many
requests from civil service em-
ployees

It had been the Senate's inten-
tion to pass the measure last
week and send it to Governor
Lehman for his signature. The
bill passed the Assembly several
weeks ago.

If and when the Governor signs
the bill, as he is expected to ao
as soon as it reaches him, the
door will be closed to payment of
differentials to public employees
who enlist in the reserve forces,
This means that all civil service
workers (except substitutes) ac-
cepted for service prior to the
time the measure gets a chapter
number, as a statute, will be en-
titled to their pay differential as
long as they are in the service,

Added Rights for
U.S.-State Workers

A bill has been introduced in
the State Legislature by Senator
Condon to safeguard the right of
employees of the Division of
Placement and Unemployment In-
surance who have been inducted
into the Federal Civil Service.

‘The bill provides that all such
employees shall have their names
placed upon a preferred list. They
would be eligtbte, under the terms
of the measure, for reinstatement
in the State service for a period
of four years after their entrance
upon a Federat position, In addi-
tion they could compete in promo-
tion exams for the State Depart-
ment for which they would have
been eligible had they remained in
the State service. They would re-
main eligible for appointment
from a promotion list, if their
names are on such a list.

TESTS

In the Future

The State law says that titles
of open competitive tests request-
ed by departments and institu-
tions must be publicly announced
for 15 days before the State Civil
Service Commission takes action,
During this period employees who
believe there is a field tor promo-
tion to the title are urged to com-
municate with the State Com-
mission, The following titles are
now being advertised (the date

that the bill will be reported

‘More Police Gals’
Says Anna Kross

Magistrate Says We
Need Gals During War

At least 200 policewomen
should be added to the city’s pay-
roll, Magistvate Anna M, Kross
told The LEADER this week.
She pointed to the fact that
‘never before have unsettled con-
ditions necessitated the amount
of watchfulness they call for to-

Though she realizes that the
city is trying to cut expenses to
a minimum, if not below that,
Magistrate Kross insisted that
“this is not a new campaign.
I've been asking for more police-
women for some time, With
sharply increasing juvenile delin-
quency and the morals of a con-
siderable number of people being
endangered by certain public ea
tablishments such as saloons and
beer halls, it’s time more care was
taken to guard against unbecom-
ing situations."

Here's the Answer

Her answer; many more police-
women, Especially since many
patrolmen are subject to call by
the armed services, and since so
much protection is needed by de-
fense agencies.

Magistrate Kross smiled when
she added: ‘Of course, it's really
up to Mayor LaGuardia to do
something about seeing that
the necessary number of appoint
ments are made, I'm merely su;
gesting the great need for them

Did she think Mayor LaGuardia
would listen? She said the Mayor
would have to be asked about
that. And, since the Mayor is not
talking to reporters these days,
the matter will have to stand
right there,

Mrs. Mary A, Sullivan, director
of policewomen in the city, when
asked whether or not she thought
there ought to be more addition:
snapped: “Oh, no you don't.

You're not going to get me te

commit myself on that nohow.

Miss Rose Nussbaum, vice-pr
dent of the Policewomen Eligibles
Association, pointed out that new
appointments should be made
quickly to keep many eligibles
from going into private industr:

There are 164 policewoman in
the city. During the past four
years only 45 have been added to
the force.

Placement of students after as
little as four weeks’ training in
drafting is claimed by Mondell
Institute. Over 30 years of ex-
perience in training men and
women for Mechanical, E's ctrical,
Aeronautical, Structural, Piping
Engineers and Naval Architects
have proven their value in the
excellent employmont record of
the school in the past few months.

Doctors Fight

PNHE city's doctors and dentists haven't given up
their battle for per annum pay, which was taken
from them year before last. They fought in every

way they know how, but they have always fought like

gentlemen, Their cause is indisputably just, and it has
been so attested by New York's public. No legitimate
reason has been advanced for denying to the doctors and
dentists those privileges which inhere in other civil
wervant

They have at last taken recourse to the State Legis-
lature. A bill introduced in the State Senate provides
for a return of the per annum status that has been lost.

That bill should pass. If the people of New York City

are as loyal to their doctors as they should be—then the

bill will pass.

Not Next Year,
But Now!

I T’S a curious commentary on our civilization that,

of employees in public services, hospital workers are

the worst treated, And hospital attendants in the
State's institutions constitute the lowest category of all,in
terms of working conditions and pay, Governor Lehman
made a start in helping these employees by calling for a
$72 yearly raise for them. There is talk that this may
be increased to $100, which would be even better.

But whether $72 or $100, the State Legislature
shouldn't let the whole thing dribble away in talk.

All State employees should have a pay increase. The
need is greatest among the workers of the State institu-
tions, The State Legislature, which has been fiddling
around with the problem of pay raises all session,
must act to help hospital attendants—now, not sometime
in the future!

Clerk Promotions

IP HE N.Y.C. Civil Service Commission acted wisely,
I we think, in suspending, for the duration of the
war, the old experience requirements for p:omo-
tion tests in the clerical service. The city’s clerical
employees, with fixed pre-war salaries, are hard-hit by
the present high cost of living. A promotion to a higher
grade is the only way in which many clerks can obtain a
pay increase. The only other alternative—unless pay
raises are approved by the Mayor—is for the employees
to quit. The alternative, which has already been exer-
cised by many clerks, is the city’s loss, We hope that
the Mayor and the State Civil Service Commission OK
the action of the N.Y.C. Civil Service body.

Merit

NEW YORK STATE'S 32-year-
old Director of Rationing believes
in letting George do it, or, more
properly, in letting Tom, George,
and Harriet do it

It's the key to his success thus
far in swiftly organizing 220 local

and county rationing boards
throughout the State. He believes
—and practices—the theory that
administration and enforcement
of restrictive sumptuary regula-
tions can best bé done by the local
people in their own localities.
Last fall, Governor Lehman ap-
pointed Maurice F,. Neufeld as
State Director of Rationing. Tha
Governor was not unfamiliar with
Mr. Neufeld's ability for he had
displayed tireless zeal, unusual ca~
pacity for work, and executive
competence of high order in the
old State Division of Planning
which later became the State Di-
vision of Commerce. Mr. Neufeld

Men

was given instructions on Decem
ber 22, 1941, to put together ai
organization to handle State-wide
rationing of tires, All he was
given was the order

The new rationing director bor.
rowed some help and a few type.
writers and got himself a tele.
phone —which, incidentally, in
probably one of the most valuable
single assistants Neufeld h:

Include Everything

Although tires represented the
first item of rationing, Commis
sioner Neufeld quickiy perceived
the possibility that other articles
would be included. He geared the
broad scope of his office to meet
this situation and now it appears
that he will handle rationing of
virtually all commodities—sugar,
retreads, petroleum product.
tires, automobiles and other ar-
ticles—as promulgated by the Fed-
eral authorities,

“The only way a program of
this kind can function is by com-
plete decentralization," said Com
missioner Neufeld, “Authority
must be placed in the hands of lo-
cal people who best know local
conditions, AN of us are im-
pressed by the magnificent job al-
ready accomplished by the local
boards. They are volunteers of
high calibre, working with. limited
means in a highly perplexing field,
They must read and absorb an
immense amount of data in the
form of rules and regulations,

Conductor Complains

Sins: On Novembe 30, 1940,
a promotion exam to conductor
was held for lroad clerks
of the Independent System. At

that time th for rail-

road clerks wi hour, the

rate for conductors was to

75e an hour. 'The hope was that

when pay rates were adjusted the

rate would be correspondingly

higher,

Then the Civil ice

sion declared the Fire List appro-
e for the position of conduc-
Rates of pay were 62ic an

hour to 7c an hour, The promo-
tion list was forgotten for almost
nine month

When the promotion list was
nally used, the railroad clerks,

who were getting 65¢ an hour,
Wore offered the higher jobs at
2\%~e an hour The contention
was that as soon as general pay
adjustments ve in foree the

lowest paid eonduetor would get

more than the highest paid vail-
road c’erk,

Under the new scale the rail-
voad clerks got 68i¢¢ an hour and
those who accepted a "promo-
tion’ got 65¢ an hour, To add
insult to injury, all chances for
jobs as re guards (second con-
ductors on large trains) were go-
ing to inexperienced men at 70c
an hour, And most of these men
from the fire list are in the sub-
ways to stay.

get any kind of a raise in pay,
T was always under the impres-
sion that a prémotion meant a
raise in pay. What kind of jus-
tice is this?

CONDUCTOR,
Suggests a Center
For Meeting People

Sirs: I have noticed, and heart-
ily approved your campaign for
making New York City second

of general interest will be printed,

Letters which appear in these columns may be answered by readers with other points
of view, All letters should be signed, but names will be kept confidential if requested,

only to Washington as a Federal
civil service center.

I have also observed your con-
sciousness that many of the
weomers to this city from
Washington's bureaus will be
reading your paper. ‘The LEAD-
ER does them a good service in
pointing out New York's advan-
tuges: good “eateries,” places of
amusement, how to “locate," ete.

This leads me to suggest that
many of us New York City civil
ervants would like to meet the
new arrivals, This would apply
particularly to the younger, un-
married ones, Perhaps a column
in The LEADER devoted to activ-
ities and places where a common
meeting ground’ could be had,
would do much to reconstruct
those discarded ‘Washington ad-
dress books!"

EDWARD J, HILTON.

We'd like to hear what other
Federal empl in New York
City think of this suggestion. —Ed,

While You're
In the Army

'T. W.: Your positions on the
Federal and State Civil Service
lists will be protected in the event
you are drafted, If you normally
Would be reached for appointment
before the expiration of your list,
you are entitled to have your
name placed on a special list upon
your return to civilian life, These
special lists will be in existence
for a period of one year.

Although the Municipal Civil
Service Commission has revoked
its special military regulations,
you are entitled to special tests

in the titles for which you filed |

applications, provided that you
also filed military service forms
with your applications, However,
you will not be entitled to special
tests as a result of any applica-
tions which you may file in the
future,

If you are inducted into the
army, there is little possibility
that you will be able to appear
for future examinationsr There-
fore, it would be unwise for you
to file applications for future
tests while-you are in the army,

Leave of Absence

H. K.: Leaves of absence in the
city service are discretionary with
your department head, We doubt
very much if the Board of Trans
portation would grant you a leave
of absence in order to accept a
position as a clerk in the Railway
Mail Service.

Standing On U. S. List

J. B.: Sorry, but we cannot
estimate your chunces for ap-
pointment from the Federal

registers for assistant accountant
and auditor and associate ac-
countant and auditor, established
as a result of your examination
last April 5, We have no way of
determining your standing on
these lists as the U. 8, Civil Ser-
vice Commission does not release
registers for publication. At the
present time it is impossible for
the U. 8, Civil Service Commis-
sion to answer requests for rela-
tive standing trom eligibles,

QUESTION

PLEASE

U.S. Appointment
Possibilities

E. S.: There is no way of de-
termining your chances’ for ap-
pointment as a printer's assistant
in the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing as a result of the ex-
amination you took several weeks
ago. You will have to wait until
you receive your notice of rating
from the U, S, Ciyil Service Com-

mission, before you can begin
estimating your appointment
possibilities.

Federal Tests
Not Available

M. D.: Past copies of Federal
examinations are not available, If
you are filing an application for
the Spanish option in the Trans-
lator test, you might examine
past copies of city interpreter
tests in the record room of the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, 96 Duane Street, or in the
Municipal Reference Library,

plete list of all the Wederal

fice of the U. S. Information Ser-
vice, 521 Fifth Avenue,

No Blanket Deferment

E. J, K.: Appointment to the
War Department will not auto-
matically defer you from the
draft, There are no blanket de-
ferments for any group of civil
service employees, Such defer-
ment is left entirely to the draft
hoard,

If You’re Fired

P. K.: A discharge withou!
prejudice because of unsatisfac
tory work during a period of pro-
bation in a Federal Civil Service
position will not bar you from
future civil service examinations
or appointments, Appointments to
other positions will depend on the
rating you receive on future &
aminations for these position’,
subject, of course, to the approv"!
of the appointing officer.

‘Civil Service Arithmetic

PART IV: MEASUREMENT

The Fifteenth of a series of articles on proper

Preparation for Civil Service Examinations.
By Gertrude B. Slavin, B.S., M.A. and Alvin Slavin, B.A., M.A.

Civil service examinations often contain problems dealing with

«length, width, diameter, and height of a particular room or shape or

object. These problems will present less difficulty if candidates re-
member the basic formulas involved in measurements. Below you
will find a list of these formulas, Study them and answer the prob-
lems given.

__ I, The area of a rectangle is derived by multiplying the length by
the width, Stated as a formula, if A represents the Area and L and
W represent length and width, then the formula reads: A equals L
times W.

II, The Area (A) of a triangle is obtained by multiplying one-half
of the base (B) by its height (H), ‘The formula reads: A equals %
B times H,

III, The circumference (C) of a circle is obtained by multiplying
the diameter (D) of a circle by a number called ‘‘Pi''—the exact num-
ber of Pi’ is 8.1416 or 31/7, Our formula would then read: C equals
“Pi” times D.

Since (D) the diameter of a circle is twice the radius (R), our
formula can also read as follows: C equals 2 times “Pi’’ times R.

TV. The diameter (D) of a circle is obtained by dividing the elr-
cumference (C) by “Pi’? (3 1/7)—or D equals © divided by “Pi.”

V, The area (A) of a circle is obtained by squaring the radius and
then multiplying by “Pi” (3 1/7), or A equals “Pi'’ R squared.

‘VI. Volume of Rectangular Solids: The unit of volume is a cube.
The Volume (V) of any rectangular solid is obtained by multiplying
the length (L) times the width (W) times the height (H); or V equals
L times W times H,

Similarly, when any three of the four quantities L, W, H, V are
given, the one not given can be found by using the appropriate formula
for each:

(a) L equals V divided by the product of W times H.

(b) H equals V divided by the product of L times W.

(c) W equals V divided by the product of L times H.

VII. Problems of Rate, Time and Distance: The formula for find-
ing Distance (D) is to multiply the Rate (R) by the Time (T), or D
equals R times T.

Similarly, when given the Distance (D) and the Time (T), the
Rate (R) will be found by using the formula: R equals D divided by T.

Likewise, when asked to find the Time (T), use the following
formula: T equals R divided by D.

EXERCISE PROBLEMS

4, An excavation for a wading pool is 45 feet long, 30 feet wide,
and 5 feet deep. How many cubic yards were removed in making this
excavation?

2. A circular pool is 12 feet in diameter,
railing required to go around it?

3. A carton having a capacity of 14% cubic feet contains a number
of packages, each measuring 12 inches by 9 inches by 4 inches. If no
allowance is made for the thickness of the carton and no space is
wasted, the number of packages in the carton is (A)89 (B)60 (C)48
(1D)55_()57.

4, Two atitomobiles are traveling from the city to a camp, The
first. automobile leaves one-half hour earlier and travels at the rate
of 25 miles per hour; the second travels at the rate of 30 miles per
hour. If both automobiles travel without interruption and arrive
‘simultaneously, the distance from the city to the camp Is (A)45 miles
(B)65 miles (C)75 miles (D)84 miles (E)90 miles.

5. A train runs a distance of 120 miles at the rate of 40 miles per
hour. The return trip is made at a rate which is one and a half times
faster than the rate going out, What is the average speed for the
entire trip? s

Here are the answers to last week's problems:

Problem I: $1,400; Problem II: 6 (The problem should have read
‘a certain number 72; rather than a certain number of 72.) Problem
TII: 900; Problem IV: None of the answers given; Problem V: Ci
Problem VI: D; Problem XII; 170; Problem XIII: A-24, B-36, C-48;

he Association of Brooklyn

State Hospital Employees has sent

Governor Lehman congratulations
for his “‘special legislative mes-
sage urging Feld-Hamilton exten-
sion” to its department and has
reminded him that immediate in-
creases for low-salaried employees
are greatly needed.

“While we are in accord with
your plan of giving, this fiscal
year, a $72 increase to all em-
ployees earning $1,200 or less,"’ the
message says, ‘'we believe a more
equitabie proposal would be to
give a $100 increase to all earning
$2,500 or less. Our figure would
include trained personnel who
have made a career of State serv-
ics, such as charge nurses, me-
chanics and maintenance men who
have been hard hit by the rise in
the cost of living.

“Even though your figure of
$1,200 does not include mainte-
nance or money received in liew
of maintenance, and so corse-
quently broadens the group which
is likely to receive these proposed
benefits, still, many who would be
included in the schedule we have
outlined are not included in

Council.’

Would Aid Poor

To restore the per annum sta-
tus, is the contention, would not
only be a boon to the city’s poor
because it would make available
the services of many experienced
practitioners who refused to work
on the session employment plan;
it would turn loose a number of
professionals to make up for the
current war-created shortage of
physicians and dentists,

Prior to July 1, 1940, there were
352 positions as medical inspec
tors, physicians and dentists in
the Department of Health on a
per annum, permanent basis, The
employees had been appointed
from a regular, competitive civil
service list, Almost all of them
were in grade one, at an entrance
salary of $1,220 a year. Others,
through merit and ability,
passing promotion exams, had
been promoted to grades 2, 3 and
4 with salaries up to $3,060 in the
latter grade. Their average
length of service was approx-
imately 18 years

They received protection of ten-
ure in their positions, sick leave

with pay, vacation with and
annual increments.
Yet on April 1, 1940, in his mes-

sage accompanying his executive
budget, Mayor LaGuardia
clared his intention to place these
physicians“and dentists on ap:
session basis, to decrease cost and
to increase efficiency

More Cost, Less Ffficiency

The Society of Physicians, of
course, has contested this claim,
pointing out the move has resulted

upon:

not only in increased cost but in
decreased efficiency.

The per session basis has meant
$5 for every three-hour “session,”
or $1.66 an hour of temporary em-
ployment, for a maximum of 200
sessions or $1,000 a year,

“It is evident,” adds Dr. Vlock,
“that by this budgetary device the
Mayor proposed to effect the ous-
ter of a group of civil service em-
ployees enjoying tenure, without
regard to the provisions of the
Civil Service Law with respect to
removals,"

The Mayor has since objected to
the physicians’ appeal to the
courts, even though, as Dr. Viock
adds, “in private industry the
pay for physicians and dentists is
as high as three times the per
session salary offered by the
city.”

Many doctors, discovering their
retirement pensions would exceed
their annual per session pay, re-
tired. Others resigned. The re-
mainder, contends Dr, Viock,
cause of a sense of high obliga-
tion to the poor and underprivil-
eged 2hildren whose sole source of
medical and dental service they
were, agreed to stay on in the
hope of redress from the Legisla-
ture.”

Morale Battered

The morale of these employees
has been battered, he admits, He
declares that the pronounced
jortage of physicians and den
tists in the armed services and in
civilian life is enough, by itself,
however, to warrant a return of
many professionals over the draft
age |

The bill now in the Legislature |
js designed to bring back the per
annum status for those physi: |
medical inspectors, indus-
ctors, dentists,
supervising physicians and assis:
tant clinic physicians in the com-
petitive class who were appointed
or promoted in such positions
June 30, 1940, and to grant them
their former privileges.

yours.” It is signed by William
‘V. Kondrat, president.

In short, the Association likes
what the Governor is doing but
thinks he ought to do more of it.

Asks Investigation of
Mental Hygiene Dept.

In an open letter to State legis-
lators, Eugene Helbig, president
of the Creedmoor Local 70, 8.C A,
M.A, charged that 10 percent of
the patients at Creedmoor suffer
from tuberculosis,

Writes Helbig:

“Hitler, they tell us, destroys
the insane, New York State has
a more refined and expensive
method. We under-feed them, in-
adequately clothe them, Then
they finally contract tuberculosis
and die."

He charged that racial discrimi-
nation still prevails in the hos-
pitals, that employees live in des-
perate poverty while superinten-
dents live in “'20-room-mansions."

Pointing out that hospital em-
ployees earn less than WPA work-
ers, Helbig called for an investi-
gation of the the whole mess,

The maximum age limit for the

little likelihood that the age limits
will be raised to 35 for this test

during the last war, ‘The fact that
many local selective service

main reason why the age limits

age limit of 29 for policeman and
