FIRST LIST OF NEW STATE EXAMS
Speolal to The LEADER
ALBANY, Feb. 26—Seven open-
competitive examinations for per-
sonnel jobs in the State Depart-
ment of Civil Service will be in-
cluded in the comprehensive series
of tests to be announced shortly,
to be conducted in April, Titles
and salary grades have been
posted.
Examinations will be held for
jobs in several other departments
also, but no inkling has yet been
given of their titles. All told,
however, the series of examina-
tions, traversing State depart-
ments, agencies and institutions,
will be the largest since pre-war
days,
No Time to be Lost
The Civil Service Commission
is anxious to conduct the exami-
nations expeditiously as a means
of reducing the number of pro-
visionals and to offer an oppor-
tunity to the public at large, par-
ticularly the veterans, to obtain
permanent positions with the
State.
All told, there are about 2,000
vacancies to be filled permanently,
but the examinations necessary
to fill all of them will be stag-
gered, partciularly as the revision
of existing eligible lists to effec-
tuate veteran preference, and
maintaining the lists up-to-date
in that respect, take up a con-
siderable amount of the Commis-
sion staff's time,
The titles and salary grades of
the examinations to be held for
jobs in the Civil Service Depart-
ment follow:
Associate Personnel ‘Technician
(Professional Experience), $4,000-
$5,000.

Drastic Steps to Prevent Inflation
Held Needed but Most Unlikely
Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Feb, 26—Charles M.
Armstrong, Chairman of the Sal-
ary Committee of the Association
of State Civil Service Employees,
discussed “Inflation and the State
Worker" in a talk to the Council
of Women of the State Education
Department,
He pointed out that inflation is
unreal to most people. The 30 to
40 per cent rise in prices already
worrying State employees is only
a beginning, he said. The war
costs have piled up money while
curtailing production of goods,
There

if the money could only be used
once like ration coupons. Actual-
{ly, money is an indestructible
ration coupon that can be used
over and over. Those were his
statements,
| Cites Past History
Mr. Armstrong pointed out that
enough money has been created
to support prices several times as
great as pre-war. Money is al-
ready so cheap and some goods
so scarce that money is not im-
portant in getting them, Nylons,
butter and men’s suits illustrate
this. They are so scarce that the

has. This cannot last or black
markets will displace legitimate
markets as desperate people try to

There were 9,129 matters pend-

State workers,” he said. “Past
history indicates that salaries of
government workers do not go up
as fast as the dollar declines in
value. Thus the State worker can
expect to have a Jower and lower
standard of living as the inflation
proceeds,”
Long Inflationary Period
The speaker pointed out that
the inflationary period would
probably last for 5 or 10-years, a
Jong lean time for the State
| workers, The loss can be reduced
by constant agitation for fair pay
adjustments for governmental
workers, he argued. The national
production efficiency is advancing
so that most people in the
country can look forward to hay-
ing thelr standard of living go up
while the State workers’ is going
down, he maintained. Other re-
marks were:
‘This may help the State worker
in effort to maintain his
standard of living. The pensioner
will be hit even harder than the
workers. There is less chance of
increases in the pensions but the
declining value of the dollar is
just as real to the pensioner as
to any one else.
If prices go up to 300 per cent
of pre-war, as is quite possible,
it is the same as reducing a pen-
sion to one-third. Pensions are
not large enough for such re-
ductions. The only hope of the
pensioners would appear to be
legislation increasing existing pay-
ments. Otherwise, State pension-
ers may be compelled to appeal to
local authorities for suplementary
relief or Old Age Assistance.
Up and Down
Even those who are now rela-
tively young will lose in the pur-
chasing power of their pensions,
The State pension is made up of
two parts, one paid by the State
and one paid by the employee.
The State portion is determined
by the highest 5 years’ pay earned
by the employee, and hence, in-
creases with the inflation. The
employee's share is determined by
the dollars already paid in. Hence
the value of accumulations up to
the present will decline in pur-
chasing power as the dollar de-
clines in value, As @ result, the
employee who will retire after the
inflation has taken place will find
his pension smaller in relation to
his final salary than he anti-
cipated.

WHAT EVERY STATE EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW
By THEODORE BECKER
eed —
STATE COMMISSION AGAINST DISCRIMINATION
HAS JURISDICTION OVER STATE EMPLOYEES
Last year the Legislature cre-
ated the State Commission Against
Discrimination and charged it
with the responsibility of enforc-
ing provisions of the statute de-
signed to combat discrimination
in employment practices on ac-
count of race, color, creed, or na-
tional origin,
There was little doubt that this
responsibility covered private em-
ployment. However, it was not so
clear whether the Commission
had any jurisdiction in cases of
or institution, or by the State or
any agency, or subdivision of the
State.”
He pointed out that the anti-
discrimination law was enacted in
fulfillment of the constitutional
provisions; that it declared the
opportunity to obtain employment
without discrimination because of
race, color, creed or national
origin is a civil right; and that
it defined as an unlawful employ-
ment practice for an employer,
because of the race, creed, color
color or national origin of any
person, deny to such person any
employment, promotion or in-
crease of salary, or dismiss or
suspend such persons from em-
ployment,”

Why Vet Preference
Applies to All Lists
And to Both Wars
Apecial to The LEADER
ALBANY, Feb. 26—The opinion
0} Attorney-General Nathaniel L.
Goldstein on the veteran prefer-
ence amendment, given in a letter
to Joseph Schechter, Counsel to
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion, holds that existing lists are
covered by the amendment, not
merely lists promulgated on or
ajter Jan. 1 last. It adds that
World War I veterans are bene-
ited, as well as World War II vet-
erans and that the Legislature can
carry great interpretive weight by
enacting regulations governing the
administration of the amendment.
These aspects were discussed by
Mr. Goldstein in the following
language:
The amendment granting vet-
erans’ preference {s phrased in
mandatory and specific terms. It
constitutes an express direction
that veterans within its applica-
tion be preferred in appointments
and promotions from “any list”
and {is not a mere general state-
ment of policy. The language di-
recting the Legislature to enact
laws for the enforcement of the
section of the Constitution amend-
ed by the provision in question is
not a new direction applicable
only to the subject of the amend-
ment but a continuation of a pre-
existing provision.
Merit and Fitness
Despite this language, it has
been held that the general com~-
mand of the Constitution for ap-
pointments in the civil service so
far as practicable on the basis of
merit and fitness determined by
competitive examination is so far)
self-executing that, even if all)
status and regulations on the sub-/|
Ject of civil service were repealed, |
the courts would be required, “in
& proper case, to pronounce ap-
Pointments made without comp!
ance with its requirements fllegal
(Peo. ex rel. McClelland v. Rob-
erts, 148 N. Y, 360, 366). In a
comparatively recent case it was
held that an appointment in a
rural school district made with-
out such examination was not
lawful even though the Legisia-
ture had failed to provide for it
in such districts (Palmer v. Board
of Education, 276 N, ¥, 222),
There is clearly less need for
legislative direction as to veterans’
preference than in the manner of
determining merit and fitness, for
the Constitution itself prescribes
the method by which preference
shall be granted, Disabled and
non-disabled veterans are to be
appointed and promoted in that
order before any others upon any
list from which such appointments
or Becmotions bro made » lect
regard to the! thereon.
‘The result vot & constitutional
direction so explicit must not only
that appointments in violation
thereof are void, as in the Palmer
case, but that no legislative di-
rection is necessary in order to
bring into operation the require:
ment that appointments and Re |
motions be made as so preseri
‘This is not to say that the Legisla- |
ture is deprived of its duty to!
scope. Indeed, a contemporaneous
interpretation by the Legislature
would be entitled to great weight
upon
application of the provision (Mat-
phd Kolb v. Holling, 285 N. ¥.
Matter of Madden y. Reavy,
284 N. Y. 418, held that the courts
would not intervene to compel
extension of civil service by ad-
ministrative officers to civil divi-
sions of the State in the absence
of evidence of unreasonable Moree
in # task of such magnitu
did not disturb or limit hep prtor
holdings of the court that the con-
stitutional requirement itself de-
prived appointments of legality if
not made in accordance with its
terms.
Existing Lists
This conclusion leads to your
question concerning application
of the preference to existing lists
and indicates the answer thereto.
The provision, which, as I have
concluded, became effective on
January 1, 1946, by its own force,
requires appointments and promo-
tions without regard to a veter-
an‘s standing “on any list" from
which such appointments and
promotions may be made, Inas-
much as many appointments and
promotions will necessarily be
made after that date from. lists
theretofore established, the re-
quirement must be applied to
such lists if its effective date is
to be observed,
No basis in terms or apparent
intention can be found in the
amendment for applying the pref-
erence only to such appointments
Political science and economics
are engaging the attention of
Farmington Taylor, Elevator
Operator in the State Office
Building, NYC, He studies 'em
ambitiously at night at City
College. He's a memember of
the Association of State Civil
Service Employees,
as are made from lists subse-
quently established. If a veteran's
Pog = fitness are established
by appearance of his name on
oy list, he “shall” be appoint-
ed before any other appointment
is made therefrom on and after
January 1, 1946, Legislative and
administrative machinery for es-
tablishing eligible lists has long
been in existence.
Such lists are presently avail-
able for a great many of the po-
sitions which are now to be filled.
‘The reference to “any list” in the
amendment indicates that it was
framed and adopted “with refer-
ence to existing laws, which were
| intended to give to it immediate
practical operation” (Peo. ex rel.
McClelland y. Roberts, 148 N. Y.
360, 369),
Clear Indication
A final clear indication that the
amendment was designed to have
immediate application by its own
force to existing lists is found In
the 5-year limitation on the pref-
erence to non-disabled veterans.
Such preference is accorded un-
til “December thirty-first, nine-
teen hundred fifty, but in no event
for a period less than five years
next following the honorable dis-
charge or release under-honorable
circumstances of a member of the
armed forces of the United States
who served therein in time of
war.” The prescribed date is 5
years from the effective date of
the amendment and the limita-
tion is so phrased as to give all
veterans preference for at least
a 5-year period from such effec-
tive date, This includes those who
were theretofore discharged In
World War IT as well as after
service in any prior “time of war”
such as World War I. Those dis-
charged or released after January| _
1, 1945, will have five years from
the date of discharge or release,
The others are limited to the pe-
riod ending December 31, 1950,
If application of the’ preference
must await either legislation or
the establishment of new lists, the
prescribed 5-year period would be
cut down by the time consumed
in accomplishing those actions,
That is a result obviously not in-
tended and plainly not permitted
| by the constitutional mandate,
{Other aspects of veteran pref-
ference were discussed in another
| part of the opinion, published in
the Feb, 5 issue.)
Commons Wants Civil Servants
In Britain To Be Better Mixers
By G. M. YOUNG
If you watch the London papers
carefully you will come on an ad-
vertisement from time to time
saying that on such and such days
the Civil Service Commissioners |
will hold an examination for fill-
ing so many places in the. Admin-
istrative, or Executive, or Clerical |
grade of the Civil Service. Any of |
the King’s Subjects being of the}
right age, male or female, black,
white, yellow or red, may present
himself, and the examinations are
designed to give a fair opportunity
to all comers and to exclude the
remotest possibility of political in-
fluence. The candidates who come
out highest in this test can within
limits choose their own depart~
ments: after a year’s probation
they become established, and must
thenceforth rely eftirely on their
official virtues for advancement
and honor, Byery civil servant on
entry is reminded that any at-
tempt to secure promotion by tn-
fluence will be taken as a confe:
sion that on his merits he does not
deserve it.
What are the official virtues?”
Industry,
bility,
The English civil servant has
the highest standard in the world.
But you will hear at times com-
plaints that while examination
may attract the best brains it does
not attract the liveliest charac-
ters; that, the civil servant ts Itkely
to play for safety and pension;
accuracy, incorrupti-
that he becomes a creature of/|
precedent and routine; that his
office is his world, and of the
world outside he knows too little.
There ts same truth in all this,
and a Committee of the House of
Commons has been busy with
plans for enlarging the outlook of
the civil servant, making him a
better mixer and letting him rub
off seme of his departmental
angles in company with people of
other professions and a different
background.
They are-even talking, I hear,
of @ new device: instead of inter~
viewing the candidate for half an
hour, the Civil Service Commis-
sioners are to see him at large,
and I trust, at his ease, in the
country for 2 or 3 days on end
and size him up accordingly, It
is a promising idea and would not
be very difficult to carry out.
You see, the English civil serv-
ice is really very small. In fig-
ures, it is @ million strong, but
that includes all the postmen, all
the messengers, all the typists and
all the telephone girls, Its think-
ing part—the administrative grade
—nhumbered in peacetime less than
1,500; and Whitehall represents
some 500 senior officials who pre-
pare and administer the laws
which are made just across the
way in Westminster,
The tradition of the Civil Sery-
ice is to keep inside its powers
rather than tS 80 outside them,
Britain's local authorities, coun-
tes and boroughs, are quick to
resent and resist yy encrosche
ment on their rights, And, finally,
any excess of authority by White-
halt ts certain to an echo
in Parliament, So when people
talk of bureaucracy in England,
the answer is: "You have just as
much bureaucracy as Parllament
chooses. Tf you think you have too
much, you must go to Parliament
for redress. If you won't take the
trouble, then you can’t complain.”

f thelr employment, it is highly
ion the power to strike or the
threat to strike, This is much to
be preferred to the enactment of

The lack of anti-strike legisia-
baa was found by the Committee
be due in part because many
have no-strike policies,
“Govermment
Secretary
Reform Association,
the report of the National Civil
Service League, which censored
strikes by public employees.
“With regard to the closed shop,
few public-minded citizens can be
found to defend inclusion of such
a clause in @ government agree-
ment with an employee organiza-
tion,” said the Committee,
‘The report observed that con-
tracts binding on the government
cannot be entered into with pub-
lic employees, but that satisfi
tory agreements could be achieved
in a process of collective nego-
tiation.
The Committee stated further:
should provide
oresnisetions of public employees | adequate machinery for coopera-
tion, to remove causes of griev-
ances and promote the solution
of problems and development of
morale in the service."
It was found that many em-
ployee associations have been of
great aid in the establishment of
adequate machinery for the
coker aid , sympathetic and effective
of employee problems,
with some 6,000,000 persons
employed in Federal, State and
Jocal government organizations,
the investigators found that the
factors giving impetus to the
the new industrial types of activ-
ities undertaken by various gov-
ernments, the difficulties which
many groups of employees have
in maintaining their economic
status In a period of rising prices,
the desire of workers to obtain a
brake against the precipitous re-
duction of forces, and, especially,
intensified organizing activity.”
It was indicated that “for these
reasons membership in employee
organizations in the public service
is likely to show even rapid strides
in the post-war years.”
Warning Given
The Committee gave warning:
“As organization progresses
over the country, government
bodies, and men in public life gen-
erally, may be faced with de-
mands which may be new to them
but which are issues long debated
or already settled in the practice
of private industry. The legisla-
tor or official who is inadequately
Prepared for such situations may,
through ignorance, take an inde-
fensibly hostile stand, or through
fear, make an unwise concession
of principle, or he may react legal-
istically or negatively when the
occasion calls for a positive, im-
aginative program.”

BILL FOR VESTED
PENSIONS
ASKS ONLY SIMPLE JUSTICE
EGISLATIVE support is i
tirement Pension Bill, It
ployees will impress on the
the necessity of this bill, it
nereasing for the Vested Re-
is believed that if State em-
Senators and Assemblymen
will be adopted, It is ex-
pected that Governor Dewey would sign the bill, despite
the extra cost to the State, which isn’t large, because of
the equitable principles involved, already invoked in two
other phases of the Retireme:
nt Law,
The purpose of the bill is to have the State recognize
a pension as a benefit bestowed on the basis of annual
member service, and therefore not to be forfeited upon
resignation, A deferred bene
fit, at age 60, is provided for
those with 5 years or more of member service,
What Vesting Means
Now any employee who
resigns, regardless of length
of service, forfeits the pension, which is the State's part
of the retirement allowance.
The ex-employee gets back
his own contribution, with interest, but the Government
liability in regard to him expires, as does any right to an
annuity which his own contribution would have bought
in the Retirement System.
Continuing this Government
liability and employee title to annuity is what is meant
by “vesting.” The termination feature would be eliminated
for any period except one of five years. *
The extra percentage of State contribution is rela-
tively small, an additional 0,
8 per cent of payroll, after
15 years of service, being the estimated amount, with
total State contributions less
than in equivalent systems.
What should appeal to the legislators particularly is
the principle of fundamental
based.

It is hard to conceive of any valid objection to
the measure, once the amount of State money involved
is found to be within reason,

civil-service retirement procedures |

which was approved by the Presi-

The effect of the law, which

dar year of such leave for retire
ment purposes.
Comparative Benefits
An employee may choose to
credit this period as militar,
service, but It would be benefici:
to do so only in case the base
pay of the military service ex-
ceeds that of the civilian position,
Whether or not it would be
advisable for an employee to do
this could generally be determined
only at the time of retirement;
this is true because one of the
factors which must be considered
in computing retirement annuity
is the “highest 5-year period”—
that Is, the 5-year period of serve
ice during which the highest
average salary was received. Em-
ployees are, therefore, advised not
to make deposit covering the
period of military service while
still employed,

|Plan Pay Suit
| NYC is facing a lawsuit from
122 Bridge Operators in the De-
partment of Public Works. The
men who clesr the way for vessels
to pass under the bridges feel that
they are underpaid by comparison
with other cities and the only way
to gain their rights is by legal
action.
They cite the fact that in Chi-
cago, Bridge Operators receive
$3,000 a year and Operators-in=
Charge receive more. In NYC, the
men get $2,400 a year, with @
bonus of $240.
| The plan for legal action under
the prevailing rate law is being
considered by the Public Works
local of the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal
| Employees (AFL).

PREFERENCE
The claim of Paul E. Collins on

plained that “no legislation had
been enacted giving preference to

b. By virtue of law and ap-
pointment by the Mayor,
the Commissioner and each
of his subordinates is an
arm of the executive.
The. special province of the
Policeman is law and order,
the preservation thereof,
the apprehension of crmi-

criminal jurisdiction.
The post of Police Officer
is therefore one of import-

N. y. Navy Yard Plans
To Cushion Layoffs
The New York Navy Yard is
making plans to cushion the ef-
fects of the layoff of 8,000 em-
Ployees which must be made with-
in the next few weeks as a result
of the drop in work at the Yard
and a big slash in the budgetary
Appropriation for the current
fiscal quarter.
Many of the employees who
have retention rights will be able
to remain at the Yard, but will
have to suffer a reduction in
grade and salary. For example,
mechanics with retention rights
may be offered posts as me-
chanics’ helpers to replace other
employees with lesser retention
rights.
In addition to this, there will
be some hiring—on a small scale
alter March 7, when the in-
terim hiring regulations of the
Navy Department go into effect.
Jobs in the Yard which must be
filled, will be filled by temporary
appointments, pending the estab-
lishment of regular registers after
civil service examinations have
been held.
The important fact, however, is
that at its peak, in 1945, the
Navy Yard employed 10,000 work-
ers. Before the war, the Yard had
® normal staff of about 6,700
civilians—and now it faces a re-
turn to peacetime operations.
‘That means a reduction of about
90 percent below peak operations.
The result is that the mass of
present Yard employees must re-
tire from the labor market or find
other jobs. The United States
Employment Service and the
LOUIS HOGUET, who has re-
tired as Chairman of the Board
of the Emigrant Industrial Sav-
ings Bank, but will continue to
serve as a trustee of that or-
anization, An officer ef the
nk for 23 years, he is now
to resume private law
practice.
Federal Civil Service Commission
will assist the laid-off Yard
workers in their search for new
employment.
