THE CASE FOR STATE PAY INCREASES

In the economic situation which has existed since 1940
and which exists today, the public employee is perplexed and
questioning because his income has not kept pace with the
worker in private employment, and his standard of living
has deteriorated.

The task of maintaining good public service is very
largely the task of recruiting and retaining loyal and efficient
personnel. It is clear that the incentives of governmental
service must at least equal those of private enterprise if men
and women of competence are to be attracted to public
service,

At this time, when the financial planning for the fiscal
year ahead is receiving your attention, we submit for your
grave study and with the earnest request for favorable action
a plea for a ten per cent increase in the gross salaries of all
state employees effective April 1, 1953.

The reasons for this request are indeed compelling
because they not only relate to successful governmental
operation in which all of the people are vitally interested,
but hold the answer to the hopes and aspirations of thousands
of civil servants and their communities,

The major reasons follow in detail.

ALBANY, Dec, 22 — Gov-
ernor Thomas E. Dewey has
directed that State depart-
ments and offices be closed
on Friday, December 26 and
Friday, January 2, This
means that State employees

will enjoy a four-day holiday |ton

for Christmas and for New
Years.

The Governor's directive
provides, however, an excep-
tion where the department
head determines that essen-
tial services to the public re-

are required to perform ne-
cessary duties on these two
Fridays shall be given com-
pensatory time off, the Gov-
ernor said.

ALBANY, Dec. 22 — Dissatis

report delivered on ‘Thursday, De-

Dr. William Siegel, of the

entire history of personnel rela-

Season’s Greetings

_AT NO TIME of the year is there so much good
feeling as at Christmas. One of the best things about it
is that people demonstrate it with such merry freedom,
Animosities and tensions flee civilized breasts. The
spiritual influence of the season is one of the blessings of
mankind,

This is one time when “business as usual” does not
apply. Life is given over entirely to prayer and celebra-
tion and the exchange of greetings and gifts, the em-
phatic, if only annual proof our best instincts have not
abandoned us. For that proof we ourselves, as individuals,
should be deeply grateful, especially when we view a
world in which bloody combat threatens freedom,

One of the strongest pillars in freedom’s fight is a
strong, competent, democratic government. Such type of
government obtains only through capable leadership, and
competent personnel. We are proud in New York State
that the State Government, and local governments, have
such efficient personnel.

The Civil Service Employees Association is the largest
and strongest organization representing such employees,

The officers and the headquarters staff of the Asso-
ciation extend their warmest Christmas greetings to the
Governor and his aides, to the heads of departments, and
deputies; to the officials of local governments; and to all
the members of the Association, As president of the Asso-
ciation, my own best wishes are included. The combined
sentiments are intended as a greeting of special warmth,

May the future of each and all of those to whom these
good wishes go be brighter than the past ever was.

the 1949 proposal “is so much bet~
ter than the executive order that
we ought to have our bill on that.”
| It was not made clear at the
neeting whether the Association
would seek a new plan via legisla~
tion or through a new executive
order.

ALBANY, Dec, 22 — The State
Civil Service Commission on Tues-
day concluded the public hearing
stage in its study of jurisdictional
¢lassification of exempt and non-
Competitive state positions.

Although testimony was not
completed in respect to certain
titles, particularly in the Depart-
ment of Audit and Control, the
Commission formally ended hear-
ings begun last June at which
more than 150 titles were disous-
aed

With respect to all of these the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion requested competitive status
be granted

In stating the CSEA position,
William McDonough, assistant to
president Jesse B, McFarland,
said the Association was cogni

Public Hearings End on
Class Shift of State Jobs

Donough explained that the CSBA
felt the end was a good one.

At last week’s hearing J. Ed-
ward Conway, President of the
Civil Service Commission, em~-
phasizéd that the placing by the
Commission of a title on the
agenda for discussion did not in-
dicate the Commission necessarily
felt the title should be reclassified.

He cautioned that the CSC ac-
tion was only for the purpose of
clarifying and bringing to public
view the arguments for and
against reclassification of all ex-
empt or non-competitive titles,
Some, Conway indicated, would
undoubtedly remain in the exempt
or non-competitive class.

Civil Service Commission mem-
bers Louise C. Gerry of Buffalo
and Alexander Falk of New York
City, were in attendance with Mr.
Conway,

Other civil service representa-
tives present included Administra-
tive Director William J. Murray,
his assistant Garson Zasmer and
assistant director of the Division
of Classification and Compensa-
tion Lawrence McArthur,

however, end the court action, A

with Mr, McDonough was John

End of ‘Deep Freeze’ Asked

Expressing the view of the Civil
Service Reform Association was
Helen C, Drummond, assistant
director.

A highlight of the hearing was
@ proposal by Miss Drummond
that the Preller Commission on
Revision of the Civil Service Law
eliminate the “deep freeze” pro-
vision of the existing statute.

A matter of particular debate
at last week's hearing was a group
of legal titles in various depart-
ments, One of the arguments
raised by departmental represen-
tatives in favor of keeping them
out of the competitive class was
the alleged difficulty of examining
for the positions.

Mr. Kelly then respon ‘ed with

the statement that every attorney
passed a series of qualifying ex-
aminations first to succeed in law
school and then to qualify to prac-
tice in the State, and the same
thing would be posible in relation
to qualifying for a State legal post.

through October the State sent
out a total of $154,529,670 in pay
checks alone.

The number of employees re-
ceiving payment for services dur-
jing this same period varied from

During the period covered by

Employees Not to Blame

“The people who work in gove
ernment are, on the whole, a lot
better than they are given credit
for being,” said the report of the
committee that headed the poll.

Not the Federal employee, but
the confusion and red tape in
which they worked, were respon=
sible for government inefficiency,
added the committee, of which
James P. Mitchell, vice president
of Bloomingdale Brothers, is chaire
man.

The League sent copies of the
report to Governor Sherman
Adams, who is to be administrae
stant to President Dwight

Appearing at @ public hearing , emp!

PO
Fonng | OM the largest Westchester County

Budget in history, $28,848,023.43,

Waring, Leland #., Syracuse :.70070|as presented by County Executive
Reiners, Herman H.. W. Albany irik Herbert C. Gerlach to the Board
pues. Jerome, we Step | of Supervisors, John J. Kelly, Jr., | P@

assistant counsel to the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association, pre-
sented the case for the county em-
ployees.

Salary increases in the proposed
budget amount to $581,500, Emer-
gency compensation was at $240

) On duly 1, 1952 and $210 of this
ao | Was merged into base pay on Octo-

ber 1, 1952, New emergency com-
pensation, which was $30 on Octo-
ber 1 is scheduled to increase to
$60 on January 1, due to a rise in
the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statis-
tles Index for the New York Area
of two points, from 184 to 186,

The hearing was held by the
Supervisors’ Committee on Budget
and Appropriations in the Surro-

ate’s Court and presided over by

hairman James OD. Hopkins.
Accompanying Mr. Kelly were
Anne H. McCabe, president of the
Westchester County Competitive
Civil Service Association, and Ivan
8. Flood, president of Westchester
chapter, CSEA,

Kelly's Memo

Mr. Kelly cited a memorandum
submitted by the Association in
relation to the salary report of
Barrington Associates this year.
The Board of Supervisors adopted
the plan, with minor alterations.

“As a result of the Barrington
study,” said Mr, Kelly. “there was
developed the so-called commun-
ity average line which graphically

depicts the salaries paid for com-
"| parable work by all employers. It
is in its lack of discrimination that
the Association criticizes the com-
munity average line, Westchester
County, as an employer, is not
comparable to “all” employers.
Westchester County is an employ~
er of a great number of employees
with many and varied skills and
trades. It is only the unusual pri-
vate employer which can in any
respect be compared to Westches-
ter County. Similarly, it is only
the large private employer and the
large public employer who com-

te in the labor market with

‘estchester County*for the same
type of employees.

“The Association, therefore, re-
emphasizes its position that the
community trend line established
by the Barrington study is not a
reliable index as to the wages
paid by comparable employers.

“We have previously demon-
strated the depressant effect of
the inclusion of all employers and
hospital data in particular, om the
trend line as compared to a simi-
lar line developed from truly com-
parable employers, It is also well
to point out that the Barrington
report itself recognized the estab-
lishment of the community aver-
age as being a policy decision
|rather than a technical decision.
In other words, the Barrington
study does not prove the validity
of the level of salaries, but merely
sets forth the average of the em-
ployers selected,

the selection of available on Page 15.

yers being the ay’
factor as as to where the community
average will fall at any time,
“We urge upon the Board of

vice which the people of West
thester County are entitled to e:
pect.

$2,400 Minimum Asked

“An inerease of at least 10 per
cent or $300 would be required to
establish a $2,400 minimum, and
an increase of at least 10 per cent
all the way up the line would be
required to establish the commun-
ity trend line at a level maintains
ed by comparable employers,

“The Association has no quarrel
with the Barrington findings that
many personnel in the middle and
upper graces had lagged percent-
agewise as compared to the lower
egg Positions in county service,
it is in full sympathy with the
correction of any such lags as are
determined to exist with such per<
sonnel.

“It does not, however, feel that
such increases should be at the
expense of the lower paid em-
ployees who feel the impact of the
increased cost of living even more
desperately than their higher paid
colleagues, Apparent inequities in
the salary scale should certainly
be adjusted, but only after the en
trance level and first promotion
step positions are compensated for
adequately and equitably. The
movement of the salary schedule
should be up from a sound hottont
and not down from the middle.

Higher Point Value

“When the emergency compens
sation plan was first established,
the point value was set at $12 @
point or 1/100th of the county
minimum of $1,200, In 1946, the
validity of this relationship was
recognized when the point value
was raised to $15 a point when the
minimum pay was $1,500.

“Since the facts Justify, in ace
cordance with the Association's
recommendations the establish«
ment of the $2,400 minimum the
same point value relationship
should be maintained, thus neces~
tating the increase of the point
value to $24 a point.

“The budget should provide for
such minor funds as may be neces~
sary to put in operation a staff
relations board so that the recom=
mendations of the Association for
@ practical employee relations
policy—including accredited em

loyee representatives in its work-
ings—may be realized, Until this
instrument of modern personnel
precios is put to use by the

‘ounty of Westchester, the best
personnel relations and the greate
est resultant value cannot be ob«
tained.”

Season of. Brotherhood

HE strings that bind the heart loosen up at this time

of the year under a spell that grips the whole civili-
zed world. We feel that we lead better lives at this time;
we actually do lead better lives. The problem is, can we
keep it up, and can we induce others to join with us, or
must we be forever committed to being at our soulful best
only during a brief period of every year?

It is an ancient wish that the spirit of this season
should prevail throughout the year and that the whole
world should share in its blessings. How far the world
stands from the achievement of the goal everybody knows.
But Christmas is a celebration for the soul, and it is the
soul that is the’ever-flowing fountain of hope.

Spirit Wrapped Up With Gifts
Gifts presented at Christmas exemplify sentiment to-

ward friend and kin, and also constitute tangible evidence
of the spirit in action. That spirit need not be transient any

eould ask no greater grace of heaven than that spirit
should endure forever and everywhere. Lack of any likeli-
hood of any such early occurrence merely serves to em-
phasize the enormity of the task of bringing brotherhood
upon this earth. Though there has rarely been a time when
there hasn’t been a war somewhere, faith will not be denied
the dream that a day could come when there would be no
war anywhere. Man, with his many imperfections, will
never be able to attain heaven on earth, but it may not
be too much to hope for a rough approximation, On each
of us falls his share of the task,

Chasing Phantoms
In NYC Fire Dept.

N order is issued that NYC employees get a day off,

before or after a holiday, except for vital services, to
whom equivalent time off is to be granted. Let's say the
vital services are Police, Fire and Transportation.
Wouldn't you suppose — as the public reading the daily
newspapers must suppose, that Police and Fire forces get
that day off, sometime, like Transportation?

The Fire officers and men would like to see the day
dawn when the compensatory time off may ever be granted
er taken. It’s never happened yet,

Also, no Fire officer or fireman knows what plan is
in the City Administration’s mind for reduced hours effec-
tive January 1.

So the uniformed force has phantom days off and now
phantom reduction of hours in prospect.

SAYS SOCIAL SECURITY ISN'T
USEFUL FOR ALL

Editor, The LEADER:

Tt .would be advantageous to
employees of the State, and com-
munities of the State, who are
members of public employee re-
tirement systems, to be able to
add Social Security benefits to the
ones they have under their present
retirement systems, It is not to be
expected, however, that any cov-
erage groups would want to sub-
stitute Social Security for their
present system. A study of all the
aspects of opening Social Secur~
ity to such employees probably has
to include that phase, for the sake
of completeness, but for employees
in New York State and its divi-
sions now under a public system,
such discussion is, to say the least,
academic,

What has to be done, if Social
Security benefits are to be made
supplemental to the others, is
amend the Social Security Law to
make it possible for public em-
ployees to remain in their present
systems and have the other bene~
fits additionally. At present this
is impossible, Then the question
arises, who's to pay? Will the
State or City, for instance, Put up
its half share of the 8S cost? The
employees Would put up the re-
maining half, But suppose the

the Administration, employer refuses, Then. the Ped-

an unlikely event, where they
are different persons, Self-em~
Losgre 8S coverage is now possi-
le. As to private annuities, how=
ever, integration is not only feasi«
ble, but is encouraged, and that
might be a strong point in favor
of the possibility of affording pub
le employees the same advantage,

Public employees have a State
constitutional protection whereby
their pension benefits may not be
impaired or diminished. That is a
Personal safeguard, But if groups
Voted, two-thirds or more, to sign
up with the U. S. for Social See
curity, and keep their present sys-
tems, too, if the U. 8S. law is
amended to permit it, those who
do not vote to go in would be
compelled to do so.

Impellitteri and Grumet
To Swear in 431 on Dec.29

‘The 381 eligibles to be appoint-

battalion chief will be sworn in
on at noon Monday, December 29,
at City Hall, NYC, by Mayor Vin-
cent R. Impellitteri and Fire Com-
missioner Jacob Grumet.

Ordinarily swearing-in takes
place at Engine Company 31,
White and Lafayette Streets, but
the house is too small for exer-
cises involving 431, so the event
will be held in the City Council
Chamber.

Commissioner Grumet also has
a budget certificate for the pro-
motion of 11 lieutenants to cap-
tain, but there is no captain list,
‘The Municipal CiviJ Service Com-
mission is prepared to establish
the list as soon as a court case,
contesting official answers in the
exam, is decided. The certificate
is good for 60- days, so that if the
decision comes down in time, these
11 promotions could be made. Mr.
Grumet said he fs anxious to
make them as soon as possible.

‘The appointments and promo*)

tions are intended by the Budget
Director's office to enable the uni-
formed force to go on a reduced
work-week, beginning January 1,
but Commissioner Grumet {s hav-
ing difficulty in arranging a
schedule to permit full applica-
tion of the reduction, on the basis
of the number of men allowed.
Mr. Grumet’s present indications
are that unless personnel is in-

Expands, Seeks New Name

The Civil Service Assembly of
the United States and Canada has
greatly broadened its scope of
‘activities for the coming year, and
is seeking a name more descrip-

New Chapter Formed

Mr. Rossell made the remarks
at the organization meeting of the
Metropolitan New York chapter of
the Assembly. Temporary officers
were elected, pending the receipt
of a charter. They are Mr, Ros-

By Nathaniel E. Reich, M. D.

Pirefighting is a hazardous bus-
iness. Injuries from falls and
falling structures, asphyxiation,
burns and explosions can be recog-
nized by a low grade moron, The
relationships to firefighting are in-
disputable and compensable.

However, it has not been gen-
erally appreciated that firefight-
ing is capable of adversely affect-
ing the heart and blood vessels,
Yet, high blood pressure, angina
pectoris, coronary thrombosis and
other manifestations of accele-
rated hardening of the arteries
are especially prone to occur
among firemen. The law-makers of
some states and municipalities
have recognized this situation.
Massachusetts, Florida, California
and Pennsylvania are notable ex-
amples. They have passed legisla-
tion defining and compensating
these occupational hazards. Un-
fortunately this enlightenment
does not prevail in most areas.

It has been difficult to evaluate
heart disabilities equitably in New
York because of existing legisla-
tion based upon ancient and un-
tenable views. Sufficient evidence
has accumulated in recent —
demanding a wider acceptance of
firefighting as an occupational
factor in tt the production or aggra-
vation of certain heart diseases.
Factual evidence obtained from
humans frequently does not keep
Pace always with experimental
animal studies.

Stress and Strain

High blood pressure {s a condi-
tion which eventually affects the
heart and blood vessels. It may
cause enlarged heart, kidney
changes and coronary disease,
These disorders have been repro-
duced repeatedly by subjecting
mice and other experimental ani-
mals to stress situations. It is a
well known fact that large rises
in blood pressure may be induced
by sustained muscular effort or
stresses and strains, Firemen are
subjected repeatedly to stresses in
the course of their hurried and
harried labors, Careful studies
have contributed proof for this
contention. The effects“of com-
bined physical and mental stress
on normal young healthy males
were investigated recently. The
stress” in this experiment was
the annual 500-mile Indianapolis
Speedway Race. As every one must
know, this Is a competitive and
dangerous contest In which drivers
race their cars around a two and
a half-mile oval track at average
speeds ranging between 120 and
125 miles per hour, Laboratory
tests following the race showed
marked blood, chemical and blood
Pressure changes. Although not as
grueling, a comparable situation
faces the average fireman each
day, the constant application of
such a stress can prove even more
harmful!

“Blast hypertension” has been
found to persist for weeks in peo-
e found in the vicinity of a mi
jor explosion. The Texas City dis-
aster and other major explosions
gave dramatic proof of this fact.
Explosion is another hazard to
which firemen are subjected.

Numerous statistical surveys
also attest the fact that the fre-
quency and severity of hardened
arteries is definitely higher among
pesenaa exposed to much stress
in than in the population
at in The acceleration of har-
dening of the arteries and its con-
sequences is a not uncommon oc-
currence as @ result of the greater
exposure of firemen to constant
mental and physical strains, It is
& Well known fact, though inade-
quately explained, that high blood

tee sudden strain and trauma, has
Presented as evidence that
these stimull are possible precipi-
tating factors in the development
of coronary occlusion, The result-
ing small hemorrhage may raise
the plaque quite sufficiently to
impede seriously the coronary flow.
Foreed or excessive muscular
exercise frequently experienced
during great fires, especially in the
presence of underlying heart dis-
ease, can disastrously affect a
heart with decreased reserve
power. This is especially true for
those already suffering from vari-
ous degrees of high blood pressure
or coronary disease. Numerous in-
stances of myocardial infarcion
following great physical exertion
have been recorded in medical
journals. This state of affairs is
recognized in other occupations—
but not in firefighting!
From Hot to Cold
‘Thus far we have covered the
effects of mental and physical
stresses on the heart and arteries.
The fireman is also subjected to
extremes in temperature. His work
may call for long periods of ex-
posure to very hot or very cold
environment. It has been shown
that a hot environment may lead
to a more rapid absorption of ex-
isting harmful chemical sub-
stances from lungs or the skin.
Actual studies made in various
laboratories and in some indus-
tries have also proven that the
amount of physical effort de-
creases as the temperature in-
creases, Indeed, at very high tem-
peratures, especially when asso-
ciated with a high humidity, phy-
sical work may become impossible.
Heavy work in high temperatures
adds materially to the burden al-
ready placed on the body, When
the heart attains its maximum
rate, further work becomes im-
possible. Yet, firemen are fre-
quently forced to continue working
under these conditions. In “wea-
ther sensitive” persons even mod-
erate changes in atmospheric con-
ditions can affect the circulation,
possible effects on a person
with a previous heart aifment,
recognized or not, are obvious.
Similarly, exposure to extreme
cold during the winter causes
marked stress on most body tis-
sues. Again, it has been repeated-
ly demonstrated that our friend
the laboratory rat regularly de-
velops serious heart muscle dam-
age when exposed to cold. No-
body has taken the trouble to in-
vestigate carefully the heart of
firemen suffering from intense cold
exposure. A hot cup of coffee, a
pat on the back — and he is off

The hazard from smokes and
aman. especially applicable to
nm. In addition to deadiy
carbon monoxide, which is gen-
erated by burning materials under
all conditions, other irritating and
lethal gases frequently affect fire-
men, They include carbon dioxide,
hydrocyanic acid, ammonia, hy-
drogen sulfide and surfur dioxide.
The additional presence of carbon
dioxide induces more rapid breath=
ing and more rapid death, Escaped
gases from refrigerating and other
industria! systems are not uncom=
monly encountered and also pro=
duce toxic changes, ¢.g., ammonia,
formaldehyde, carbon tetrach-
loride, methyl chloride, and other
refrigerants. Carbon monoxide has
an affinity for the circulating blood
which is up to 300 times greater
than oxygen. The decreased oxy-
[e content may cause death of
eart muscle and other tissues
such as the brain. Indeed, fre
quent exposure to low concentra-
tions may also produce perma-
nent injury. Unfortunately, many
of these cases are returned to duty
following resuscitation and @
search for cardiac damage is sel~
dom performed,
The Effects of Injury and Shock
Firemen are especially prone to-
injuries in falls or from falling
structures, Severe injuries may
also be complicated by shock. It
has been shown in both animals
and man that serious heart
changes may occur following €x-
tensive injuries or shock. Numer-
ous medical reports of coronary
thrombosis following shock from
medical or surgical causes are
now on record. This state is more
apt to occur, of course, in the
— of underlying heart dis-

“When firemen accidentally
contact live wires, certain changes
in blood pressure and the heart
have been noted.

Burns
Burns and firefighting are prac=
tically synonymous, The most

exacting attention can be paid to
the exterior of a fireman, but one
seldom bothers to examine in-
terlor organs such as the heart,
Nevertheless, much experimental
evidence has accumulated proving
that a variety of changes occur
in the heart muscle and blood
vessels from toxic absorption of
burned tissue and other serious
body imbalances.

Cold facts have been presented
in support of the “Heart Bill” for
firemen, Antiquated legisiation
based on antiquated information
must go. Can a deserving “Heart

Bill” for firemen be legislated sug-

ALBANY, Dec. 22 — A ten-
Ppronged program for improvement
in ‘the conditions of firefighters
came out of a conference held in
the DeWitt Clinton Hotel jast
week, Attending were members of
the legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor, and
the two line organizations of the
NYC Fire Department, the Uni-
formed Pire Officers Association
and the Uniformed Pireman’s
Association.

These organizations were repre-
sented by Howard P. Barry, presi-
dent, and Terence P. Dolan, vice-
rege UPA; Battalion Chiefs

ilbert X. Byrne and Winford
Beebe of the UFOA. and Gerard
Fitzpatrick of the Pilots & Marine
Engineers Association.

Program Revealed

The legislative committee of the
State Federation of Labor en-
dorsed the legislative program of
the fire-fighters and promised
complete support.

Following is a lst of the bills
to be introduced in the State Leg-
islature in the session opening next
month:

Overtime pay.

Widows’ pension increase.

Extra service pension credit
(In eu of $50 pension credit for
every year over 20 years of ser-
vice, member shall receive 1/60th
of his annum compensation).

Adjustment of salary bill, (An
escalator clause. which would ad=
just the salary based on the cost
of living index each July 1).

Compulsory filling of vacancies,

Hospitalization bill. ‘Members
injured in line of duty shall re-
ceive private or semi-private hos-
pital care instead of ward care).

Repeal of Sec. BI 9-7-86 of the
pension provisions, Administrative
Code, (The present section pe:
mits a medical examination an-
nually of firemen (under 1-B Pen=

Minimum age requirments. (If
@ person in military service was
reached for appointment and has

attained the minimum age, his
retirement status and seniority
shall becin at such age?

The line organizations have re+
peatedly fought for the passage
of these various measures and
promise to continue until all the
objectives on the agenda have
been attained.

Pay Too Low,

Says Halley

‘The officers and executive board
of the newly organized United
Teachers, CIO, met with City
Council President Rudolph Halley
in City Hall Jast week on salaries
and pensions,

“T’ve known for a Jong time that
teachers and other civil servants
are underpaid,” said Mr. Halley,

“and I've been trying to find funds
to meet their needs.”

Albert H. Sayer said that the
money could be found if NYC
moved vigorously to attain fiscal
independence,

financial problems ineffectively,”
declared Raymond E. Diana, na-
tional CIO representative, “In-
stead of appropriating funds first
for salary increases and then re-
porting a shortage for building
and repairs, the City appropriates
funds for building and repairs and
then pleads poverty with regard
to raises,”
Those Who Attended

Daniel F, Gunsher, president of
the United Teachers, urged that
the Board of Estimate, jead a
genuine fight in Albany for more
City revenues. Mr. Halley saw no
hope of much help from Albany.

Win Point in
Pay Case

The Appellate Division, First
Department, unanimously decided
last week that employees of the
American Museum of Natural His<
tory, if in the proper categories,
may be entitled to the rates of pay
eis in local private indus«
try. Comptroller Lazarus Joseph
had dismissed the complaints on
the ground that the State Labor
Law did not include the laborers,
workmen and mechanics of the
museum, which is not NYC-owned,
+ a partly financed by the

iy.

The case, Esterhazy versus
Joseph, was argued by Attorney A.
Bernard King, for Local 374, Gove
ernment and Civic Employees Or-
ganizing Committee, CIO.

The union said the court's de«
cision, which sent the case back
to the Comptroller, could unti+
mately benefit employees of mus
seums, libraries, botanical gardens
and zoos,

The court held that the museum
employees were “interested par«
ties” and should have received no=
tice of a hearing. The Comptroller
did not give such notice, the court
held, adding:

“Upon a hearing, with all ine
terested parties present, it may
be determined whether petitioners
(employees) are engaged upon a
public work and whether the
statute is applicable.

“In that connection it may or
may not be significant that the
statute was enacted subsequent to
the establishment of contractual
relations between the City and the
museum. If the foregoing issues
be determined favorably to peti-
tioners, then the prevailing rate
of wages must be determined.
Section 220 of the Labor Law is
not limited to direct employees of
the City in the fixation of pre=
Vailing rates of wages.”

The representative petitioner is
Julius Esterhazy.
