throughout the United States. No
such judge gets more than $20,000
annually, and many are paid less

the handling of tax fraud cases,
Morgenthau has decentralized the
Penal Division of the Chief Coun-

set up to check on tax evasions,
headed by a director of lew en-

to Commissioner Joseph Nunan.

Promotions
At More Pay
Due in NYC

While the general promo-
tion policy of NYC is to re-
strict promotions to employ-
ees who are the top of their

grade, that is not a hard-
fast rule, according to the
Budget Bureau.

Some promotions will be made
in the July 1 group which will
involve actual increases of $120
or more,

The factors considered by the
budget officials in passing on the
promotion requests of the vari-
ous City Departments are these:

1. Situation as regards vacan-
cles in the higher grades.

2. The actual duties performed
by the employee being considered
for promotion from the list.

In some cases, employees at the
maximum of the grade and near
the top of the promotion list may
be passed over. This will happen
where there is no departmental
vacancy to which the employee
may be moved or where the duties
of the employee do not call for
a higher classification,

However, the Budget Bureau is
still engaged in clearing the cost-
of-living bonus, has not yet start-
ed work on the July promotions,
which are expected to be fewer
than the promotions provided in
the budget as adopted.

The bill also provides for a

a change was made, in conform-
ity with the overtime pay pro-

strain on finances of many em-
ployees.

The overtime provision makes
Monday through Friday the offici-
al week and Saturday is the over-
time day. If Saturady ts not
worked, either through sickness or
holidays, employees don't get paid
for the eight-hour overtime. How~-
ever, the day off is not charged
to annual leave or sick leave. If
a day off is taken during the
week, but Saturday ts worked, the
employee gets full pay, including
the overtime.

It is suggested that an execu-
tive order might be required to
clarify the pay bill provisions af-
fecting treatment of Saturdays.
It is believed that with Saturdays
considered holidays, workers can-
not take off only Saturday, but
must also take off the following
Monday. It is proposed that Sat-
urday should be treated as a reg~
ular work day, but official opin-
jon is otherwise.

Waiting Time Cut

‘The measure also cuts the wait-
ing time for within-grade raises
to 18 and 12 months, from 20 and
18, respectively. It gives the Civil
Service Commission authority to
establish entrance salaries for
particular jobs within a grade, up
to the middle of the grade, and to
correct future inequities between
per annum and wage board em-
ployees, by raising the per annum
workers’ salary up to the mid-
dle of his grade. Additional gains
are night diffenential and pro-
motional policies.

In the Senate, Chairman Sheri-
dan Downey of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, assured Sena-
tor Mead (Dem., N.Y.) that true
overtime would be paid up to and
including basic salaries of $2,980,
and that automatic in-grade pro-
motions would be made.

At the Commission's Office it
was said that buse pay affects
raises but not overtime,

Dollar Raise
Costs Many
$156 Bonus

Many of the 12,00 administra-
tive employees of the New York
City Board of Eduucation hay
been caught in a bonus squeeze
and are complaining to the Board

Originally appointed from City-
wide open competitive lists, these
employees are included in the
City bonus rule which provides
that employees who receive an
increment this year do not share
share in the cost-of-living bonus.

But in numerous instances they

on basis

have been promoted and have re-|

ceived an actual increase of $1
to lift them to the minmium of
the next higher grade, Because
of that dollar raise, they miss oul
on the bonus, and also on the reg-
ular Board of Education incre
ment of $156.

This situation is now being dis-
cussed by the City District Coun-
cil of the APL and the Board
members,

Water Dept.
Engineers
Aggrieved

Engineering employees of
Department of Water
Supply, Gas and Plectricity
aren't too happy lately. For
months they've been trying

the

to get some results in the
field of “economic better-
ment,” but they’ve run up

against a blank wall

They submitted a lengthy re-
port to Mayor LaGuardia, show-
ing how the work of the office
has suffered because of the low
salary scales paid to trained en-
gineers in the department and
drawing very unsatisfactory com-
parisons with scales of other gov-
ernment and private
firms.

To improve conditions, The Bn-

gineering Club wrote letters ask-
examinations for

agencies

and Civil Engineer (Sanitary)

They wrote to Commissioner Pat~
trick Quilty, Chief Engineer To-
bias Hochlerner, the Budget Bu-~
reau and the Municipal Civil
Service Commission. They didn’t
get the examinations.

Now they are planning to give
up their campaign for "economic
betterment,” btu to continue their
field trips and professional dis-
cussion:

Solution Suggested

What the patrolmen suggest as
a solution is to hold a promotion
examination for Sergeant Special
Patrolman who would manage
the force in the department, They
point out that Special Patrolmen
in other City agencies earn as
much as $2,300 and have promo~
tional lines, but that those in

Numerous protests to the de-
partment haven't produced any
results, the complainants say, but
they are hoping for a change un-

|What NYC Employees Should Know

By ARTHUR LIESERS

Court Sees Inconsistency on Bonus

Deduction in Prevailing Rate Cases
'HE bonus payments to per diem employees of the City are in-

volved in a recent Supreme Court action (Kau/man vs.
Deputy Comp-| New York) in which Justice Peter Smith ruled that the matter would

Law| nave
A. but granted claim for appro-| Uotters: Barnet Hy Guinea, on | Dave to come to trial for clarification

|. In making determinations of

| claims, the City deducts the bonus
Payments of fifty cents a day
under the 1943 and 1944 bonus
grants. This deduction is criti-
cized in the decision of Justice
Smith,

“The City's position,” said the
justice, “is that the Board of Esti~
mate by resolutions adopted on
July 15, 1943; and again on Octo-
ber 18, 1943, appropriated certain

pensation of low-paid employees
to meet increased living costs
and to be expended in accord-
ance with the schedules to be ap-
proved, and expended within the
discretion of the Budget Director.

“It was the Intent of the Board
of Estimate, the budget director
and other public officials to bene-
fit those of low income except

recetving

wages under
the State.

cated and distributed a determi-

nation as to the prevailing rate

ing the plaintiff in the title of
automobile machinist, in the sum
of fifty cents per day from Octo-

“The City claims it ts entitled to

back wages under prevailing wage |

‘so advanced against the amount
of differential in prevailing rates
due the plaintiff from October 1,
1943 to May 3, 1944. In passing
on this proposition the court is
asked to take judicial notice of
the resolutions dealing with the
appropriations in question to de-
termine what was done factually
and as a matter of the City’s in-
tent.’ But this court knows of no
authority for it to take judicial

sums for the adjustment of com-| notice thereof.

“In his message submitting the
executive budget for the year
1943-44, Mayor LaGuardia added:
‘An additional allowance of 50
cents a day is also included for
those per diem employees not re-
ceiving a prevailing rate of
wages,’ *

The justice also pointed out
that those employees who had re=

employees entitled to receive and| ceived their prevailing wage de-
of}

of the bonus were not subject to
deduction and thet it was incon-
sistent to penalize those whose

prevailing wage determinations
were delayed.

Fire Pleas
On Overtime

New York City firemen are
anxiously awaiting the outcome
of their suit for overtime pay
following arguments on motions
before Justice William Hecht in
Supreme Court last Wednesdey

Defending the City’s support of
the payless overtime, Assistant
Corporation Counsel ny of a|
Quel argued toat the salary of a
fireman is set in the budget at|
$3,000 a year and there is no|

provision for overtime pay, and|

that the law establishing the 3-
platoon system —_ provides
emergecy work when ordered by
the Fire Commissioner.

Speaking for firemen, John
Cram, president of the Uni-
formed Firemen’s Association,
and for John Bonifer, co-peti-
tioners, Attorney David Savage
pointed out that the law pro-
vided & minmum of $3,000 a year
for an 8-hour day, but did not
prevent overtime payments; that
the “emergency” provided for in
the statute certainly couldn't be
construed to cover a predeter-
mined schedule of overtime work;
that the statute does not sa~ that
the emergency overtime should
be without pay.

The Legislature, he added, did
not write into the law any pro-
vision for long extra hours of
unpaid work, and the City has
saved approximately $1,250,000 on
firemen's overtime.

He said that 20 of the larger
cities which require overtime
work of their fire forces pay for
the extra hours, and in Cincin-
nati, time-and-a-half is paid. In
none of these cities was court
action necessary to gain the ex-
tra pay, he stated.

Bonus Waivers Cited

The City’s additional argument
that the $429 bonus was a form
of overtime pay was met with the
response that the waiver which
the firemen had to sign to qualify
for the bonus provided that the
amount of bonus would be offset
against any future overtime pay-
ment. These waivers were signed
in July, 1944

Annual Leave for
Per Diem State Workers

T is not premature to suggest that per diem employees

of the State ought to be entitled to certain privileges
which we now accept for other State employees whose
work is on a more regular schedule. One of these priv-
ileges, concerning which we have heard no reasonable
objection, ought to be a period of annual leave. As things
now stand, there are in some departments per diem em-
ployees who have been on the job for ten and fifteen
years, but who have yet to enjoy a period of leave with-
out losing pay for taking it.

True, some improvements have already been made.
The 1945 session of the Legislature passed, and the Gov-
ernor signed, a measure permitting per diem employees
to receive sick leave under the same rules now in effect
for per annum employees. Also, in one State department
—Public Works—a system of vacations has been worked
out for the men who are on a day-to-day pay basis. Fi

Such advances need to be extended. The beginning
made by Public Works Commissioner Charles Sells should
afford a precedent for other State agencies which employ
per diem workers. Surely the cost of annual leave for this
group is sufficiently little so that no great controversy
need develop around the suggestion. And the increase
in the worker's feeling of security, his feeling that he is
indeed the equal of other public employees, would more
than compensate for the cost.

Asks Fair Play for Teachers
Editor, Civil Service LEADER:
THERE are twelve ar more serv-

are awaiting reinstatement as
teachers in the New York City
schools for the past year, The
Board of Education is keeping
them as substitutes and falling
to act on their applications so
they will not have to be paid for
the summer months.

These teachers resigned in or-
der to be with their husbands

The Board permitted them to re-

Wayne W. Soper

NOTHING gives Wayne W. So-
per more pleasure than to look}
at a western saddle, with all the

“trimmings.” To Wayne W. So-
per, MA, Ph.D,, soft-spoken,
mild-mannered, professorial, who
writes weighty treatises for the
State Department of Education,
whose learning and intellectual
attainments are broad—to him
the saddle, the stirrups, the pom-
mel and the smell of leather re-
call the days when he “rode
fence” In his youth on the prair-
ies, with only an occasional coy-
ote for company. Since he was
four years old, he has been on
horses, He grew up in the broad,
flat acres of Nebraska, where a
horse is almost part of a man.
And there is in him a deep-run-
ning nostalgia for the open spaces
and the outdoor life that are the
precise reverse of the cloistered
bookman’s habitat.

But there are advantages to!

the character welded of different
modes of living. As you talk
with him, you realize his think-
ing does not run in “molds.” He
has hammered out views of the
world showing the result of a ve-
riety of impacts upon his persot
ality Guring the formative
riod. One senses that his mil
ness can hid? strength and sin-
gleness of purpose, that he ar-
rives at his viewpoint after deep
reflection upon the nature of the
subject at hand—but that he
would be ready to alter his views
in the light of new experience,
Perhaps he would not object if
@ correspondent analyzed his men-
tal approuch as pragmatic.”

Prolific Author

His title as an employee of the
State Education Department is
Chief, Bureau of Statistical Serv-
ices. It is his task to collect an-
nual reports from schools over
the entire State and construct a
report combining the factual data
culled out of them all, He com-
piles, collates and analyzes fi-
nancial and statistical data to be
used for historical purposes. He
has written, jointly with J, Cayce
Morrison, Assistant Commissioner
for Research, a study showing the
influence of over-age and under-
age upon pupils in the schools;
and another study soon to come
off the presses follows the de-
velopment of 29,000 students from
the time they enter the 8th grade
until they finish high school. It
includes among its valuable col-
lection of facts even the occup-
tional background of the parents,
Dr. Soper would like to observe
the careers of these students in
later life, to determine if there
is @ parallel between their atti-~
tudes and attainments during the
schoo lyears and subsequently as
adults,

The studies by Dr. Soper have
that remarkable look of author-
ity; they are what popular writ-
ers looke to as “source material,”

In addition, Dr. Soper is busy
constantly answering questions
from citizens of the State and
even from the Federal govern-
ment for data concerning educa-
tion.

He's From Broken Bow

The man who was born in
Broken Bow, Nebraska, likes this
detailed work. But it hasn's dim~-
med his zest for the things of his
youth, He'll tell you tenderly of
the way Broken Bow got its
name, It seems that the original
cognomen of the community was
not acceptable to the Post Office.
One of the town fathers, walking
along a brook, trying to think up
& new name, picked up a broken
twig. That suggested the imagi-
native appellation of Broken Bow,

Young Soper went to grade
school and to York College in
Nebraska, He took his Master's
degree at the University of Ne-
braska. He then became & Su-

vintendent of schools in several

Veteran Scholarship

The following answers questions
that I repeatedly receive regard-

to be a trainee under the GI Bill
of Rights:

A veteran need not pursue the

course of instruction which he
followed prior to his entry into
the armed forces. He will be sub-
ject on his return only to the
regular rules of the college gov-
erning such changes,
Although a veteran may not
draw benefits from any two schol-
arships at, the same time, he may
use them at different times,

The veteran is not required to
return to the institution which he
attended prior to his entry into
the armed forces. He may attend
any approved institution provid-
ed he can meet the entrance re-
quirements and the college is will-
ing to accept him.

Veterans’ Re-employment Rights
Clarified by Interpretation of G.I, Act

CCORDING to a statement recently issued by the National Head-
quarters of the Selective Service System, the returning veteran
who meets all the requirements of the Selective Training and Service
Act for reemployment in his former job has an absolute right of
reinstatement in his former position or in a sub=
stantially similar position.

The Selective Service Act Is interpreted as re-
storing the veteran to his old job if he meets
the conditions of the act, rather than merely re-
storation of his ‘job rights” in accordance with
a system of seniority. The statement reiterates
the position of Selective Service that the only
conditions upon the veteran's right to reinstate
ment are those specificially enumerated in the

The State
Employee

tn “The State ae
LEADER, lord «. Shoro dit
employees of the State of New York. He is writing this column with
complete leeway to express his own views.

The Outstanding Problem

Te big problem of the immediate future is the employment of the
men and women of our Nation and the direction of these men
and women in ways that will assure the maximum of production,
the maximum of wages, the shortest possible number of hours per
day necessary to achieve the required production levels, and the
development of health and social security safeguards essentinl to
sound family and community life. In the search for permanent
peace, the establishment of economic and social justice by each
nation is much more vital than boundary lines or armies.

New York State is in a better position to handle its State em-
ployment problems well and to lead the way in setting an example
for public and private employers than it has ever been, This ts so
because of the merit system of selection of workers, established in
our State constitution and supplemented by compulsory classification
and salary plans and definite legal provisions covering examinations,

promotions, dismissals, efficiency ratings and other vital matters.
This makes it comparatively easy for those charged with personnel
administration to go on with broad, comprehensive plans for in-
service training, counseling, aptitude studies, proper health leaves,
hours of work, and the like.

The Way ems Clear

While the State has come a long way, it is apparent from the
number of suggestions that come to me from those within and
without the service that we have a long way to go. I mention some
of the things which seem to call for attention by those charged with
personnel administration:

i gro giving of full advance publicity to the activities of the

State Civil Service Commission through publication of complete
calendars of matters to be decided at meetings of the Commission;
publication of specifications of duties and responsibilities, and of
qualifications of incumbents in the case of all positions in State
service; announcement of all examinations well in advance, with
wide publicity given to all open competitive and promotion exami-
nations; prompt publication of new laws and rules and their dis-
semination throughout State departments and agencies,

Vigorous action to develop in-service training and counseling

programs throughout the service.

3 Restudy of exempt positions with the idea of reclassifying many
to the competitive class, thus opening career service opportuni-
ties to the thousands of well-equipped civil employees of the State.
—Prompt establishment of uniform hours and leaves in the inter-
est of high morale throughout the service
5 -Development of effective linson between personnel officers in
departments and institutions and the various divisions of the
Civil Service Department, the Budget Division, and the various
department heads to the end that complete uniformity and prompt-
nesa of action prevail throughout the service on matters of State
employment,
Greet filling of the vacancy that has existed on the Classifica-
tion Board since October, 1943. A third member of this Board
is an obvious necessity to the carrying out of the intent of the law
and to bring about prompt decisions
77 —Clear-cut expression by the State Civil Service Commission of
the danger of destruction of the merit system inherent in unlim-
ited veterans’ preference, as well as the unfairness present in lack of
protection of civil service employees and other citizens who have been
frozen in their position for national defense purposes.
New York Must Lead

The many matters which call for intelligent and vigorous action
on the part of the personnel administrators of the State are of vital
importance to the carrying out of the services demanded by the
people.

Tt is generally recognized that no matter how good or wise laws
may be that they depend upon the human element and the recruit-
ment and direction of the human element in the interest of sound
and economical administration. Shall New York State fail to take
the lead in Its own personnel administration? There was a time
when our Civil Service Commission was poorly pald and when
appropriations for the administration of the clyil service law were
niggardly. This is no longer the case. Governor Dewey has improved
both conditions,

It has fallen to New York State clyil service employees to urge
many reforms which have proven of inestimable value to the
pbuilding of State servi In pointing out the reforms and
improvements in personnel administration that still demand atten-
tion, we seek but to continue to register plainly and fairly the need:
of the present time.

Avoid Competition

Special fo The LAD RR

ALBANY, July 3—The creation of six new exempt titles, the reclassification of a
non-competitive title in the exempt class, the addition of six new non-competitive

titles to the non-competitive class were revealed today as
from competitive examinations.

The resolutions were adopted by
the State Civil Service Commission
with the approval of Governor
Dewey. The changes create more
than twenty jobs to be filled, due
to more than one vacancy in some
titles,

Governor Dewey signed orders
putting the changes into effect.

This request,” said Dr, Greg-
ory, “is in line with recommenda-
tions of the Moreland commission
to broaden the therapeutic“and
educational approach to the
needs of patients.”

Approval of the request for the
budget year beginning April 1
1946, would permit the additional
jobs for service men and women
who may desire to return to State
positions or to enter State service
for the first time and, would help
to provide more individual care
for each patient,

The positions would include
bundmaster, music teacher, occu-
pational therapy workers, assist-

additional farmers and clerical

workers,

of $1,800, or 3642.86 for age 60 or|
over. (Retirement ts compulsory |
at 70, with certain exceptions), |

55-Year Option—By paying ex-
tra, retirement at 55 is made pos-|
sible, and at 1/60 of final average |
sdlary, Thus one may retire five
years sooner and at 1/42 greater
retirement allowance.

Disability

General—-If, after 15 years or
more of allowable service, an em-
ployee suffers proved physical or
mental disability, he can be re~
tired with at least one-quater of
the final average salary, with a
few exceptions. Thus, the em-
ployee with 25 years’ of member
service and $1,800 final average
cd would receive 25/7€ or $578-

Accident—If this occurs in the
performance of duty, retirement
is granted on a pension equal to|
three-quarters of final average,
plus the annuity based on the
employee's own contribution.
Thus, In the cited case, the pen-
sion would be % of $1,800 or
$1,350; the annuity, or benefit
urchased by the employee’s con-
tributions, $642.86, as before, the
total $1,992.86, or $192.86 more
than the final average saalry

Death

General—If one dies in the
service, or within a year after
leaving the service without hav-
ing been gainfully employed
meanwhile, provided the employ- |
ee has a minimum of one year of
member service, the beneficiary
receives an amount equal to 1/12

«ah the benefictary may receive
ay annuity

Killed—If an employee loses his
Iffe in the performance of duty
and leaves a widow and child or
children, or dependent father or
mother, the pension ts Y@ of final
average, or $900 in the given
case. The widow gets this amount,
annually as long as she remains
unmarried, or has children by
the deceased husband who are un-
der 18 years old. The pension
carries with it return of the
amounts contributed by the mem-
ber, or this money may be con-
verted Into an annuity, to add to
the pension

Other Benefits—These include
withc:awal of contributions, plus
interest, if no retirement Is
earned; opportunity to borrow up
t- 50 per cent, or, for a veteran,
all except the last dollar; and if
separated from service without
fault or delinquency, after 20
years’ or more of service, to be
retired on pension plus arnuity,
The annuity is always the part
the employee pays for; the pen-
sion is what the State contributes,

Interest Is 4 per cent for mem-
bership begun on or before June
30, 194%; if begun thereafter, 3
per cent,

At 60, with, for less than 5
years’ service, contributions may
be withdrawn jn leu of retire-
ment; but for five years or more
of service, at retirment age, there
is no option on leaving the serv-
ice, except retirement,

If one withdraws from the serv-
fee and returns in five years, the
contributions unused must be

|made up within a period not

greater than the severance period.

What State Employees Should Kno.

Court Upholds Denial of Reinstatement

Within One Year After
ECURITY of tenure being one

Resignation

of the main features of competitive
is important for s competitive class

employee to understand the significance of such an act as resignation. |

It should be borne in mind that a
resignation is @ voluntary re-
linquishment of all an employee's
rights in and to his position,

Whether or not he can obtain re-
instatement thereafter is a mat-

ter for an appointing officer to

decide, purely as a matter of
discretion,

| through no delinquency or mis-|
conduct on his part, by removal,
resignation, suspension, by leave |
of absence without pay, may be
reinstated without re-examination |
in a vacant position in the same
office, department or institution, |
and In the same group, subdivision
and grade, within one year from

Although an employee who 1s] the date of such separation; or

given a year's leaye of absence

without pay must be reinstated
upon reporting for work when the
year 1s up, the same rule does not
apply to employees who have re-

signed, Such employees have no
absolute right to reinstatement,

but may be privileged so to return
if an appointing officer is found
willing, within a year of the resig-
nation, to give him employment in
his old position or one similar
to it

Reinstatement Covered by Rule

Whatever opportunities for re-
instatement are accorded to em-

ployees who have resigned must be
|found in the Civil Service Rules,
because the Civil Service Law does

not provide for such reinstate-
ments, Rule XVI of the Rules for
the Classified Civil Service, appli-
cable to State positions provides,
in part, as follows

“Any person who has held a
competitive position under the

civil service rules, and who has! therefore, den!
been separated from the service!

may be appointed within one year
from the date of separation from
the service to n position to which
he was eligible for transfer,”
When “May” Means “Must”
The phrase may be reinstated
has been construed ns "must be
reinstated” when applied to leaves |
of absence, but as “may be rein-
stated” when applied to resigna-
tions. In other words, it has been |
held that reinstatement after a|
leave of absence is mandatory. |
whereas reinstatement after a}
resignation is discretionary, This|
interpretation has been followed
by the Supreme Court of Sullivan |
County in a recent case involving
& competitive class dentist who
resigned from a State institution. |
The dentist resigned March 15, |
1044, and requested reinstatement
on March 14, 1945—just within a
year, He was advised that no vi
cancy in the position of dentist
existed at the institution. His re-
quest for reinstatement was,

ied.
the dentist brought |

—

suit, basing “his right to rein-
statement upon the fact that there
was a vacancy; that his separa-
tion from service was not occa-
sioned by delinquency or miscon-
duct and that the application for
reinstatement was made within
one year.” Although the question
of a vacancy was In dispute, this
fact had no bearing on the sourt’s
decision

‘The court cited the rulings in
the Court of Appenls case of Doer=
ing v. Hinrichs that “resignation
is a complete break in the service
and the absolute termination of
relations” and that “re-entry into
service can be accomplished only
by the voluntary act of the per-
son who the power of sp-
pointment

Here ‘May’ Does Not Mean “Mast”

Analyzing the dentist's conten-
tions in the light of the Doering
ease, the Court concluded:

“He (the dentist) tekes the po=
sition that the word ‘may’ in Rule
XVI should be construed as
‘must, upon the ground that
where a statute directs the doing
of a thing for the sake of justiee
the word means the same as
With this construction, T
am unable to agree, The use of
the word ‘may’ has been used nec-
essartly for the sake of efficiency
and the good of the public service
of the State in all its various De-
partments. Tt seems to have been
the evident intent of the wording
of Rule XVI to allow discretion to
the heads of Departments for the
sake of efficiency, and viewing
may’ in this Meht is compatible
with the words of the Court of
Appeals when it sald: ‘re-entry
into the service can be accom=
plished only by the voluntary act
of the person who has the power
of appointment,’

Accordingly, the co fom! seed

Chris Fee Lauds Work

Of State A

ALBANY, July 3—Ch

Labor Department, on Saturday, June
of the Western New York Confe
tive achievements of the Association of State Civil Service

Employees. Mr. Fee is an
the Association,

The conference, a regional unit
of the same organization, met in
Albion, N. Y., for the first time,
It coveres employees in the west-
ern part of the State.

Pee said that the attempt to
gain reforms proposed by the as-
sociation, that failed of passage
at the last session of the Legisla-
urte, will be renewed st the next

{ session. In some instances techni-
& calities prevents success. These
will be ironed out, he felt certain.

Said Mr. Pee

“Perhaps the most important
job the State Association does fs
to sponsor new legislation In the

{interests of civil service employ-

> ees. The last session of the Legis-
lature was probably one of the
most vital in recent years.

“The Association's program was
ambitious, it consisted of more
than sixty bills, Forty of these
passed both houses and thirty
were signed by the Governor. Of
the bills enacted twenty were writ”

¥ ten in whole or in part by mem-
bers of the Association and the)
remaining ten we endorsed and

supported,
“I believe that the three most)
important measures before the
Legislature were the Downey-

> Sherman bill on veterans’ prefer-
ence, the pay-raise provision in
the budget bill and certain amend- |
ments to the Feld-Hamilton law.

“The Downey-Sherman bill now
goes to the people as a constitu-
tional amendment. It provides
outright preference for all vet-

érans in all examinations whether | yea!

entrance or promotional, It was
opposed by your Association and
"a number of civic and employee
organizations, We were in favor

of a lesser degree of preference | for State employees, but will try

which would preserve the merit

system while giving to veterans|of USES employees if that agency

recognition of their service.
Feld-Hamilton Law

“You may recall that during the
past year certain changes in the
Feld- Hamilton Law were pro-
posed which, if adopted, would
have brought us back to the
eatch-as-catch can basis which
prevailed prior to the passage of
this legislation. Now we are pro-
tected in our grades.

“This upholding of the law as
{t stands with certain amend-
ments is a great accomplishment
for the association. It was the as~-
sociation that battled valiantly to
preserve the rights so dearly won
and it is the association that de-
serves full credit for the victory.
Tt was not at all an easy fight but
one well worth whatever energies
whatever sacrifices of time were
required. To convince everyone
from the Governor down that this
was the Magna Carta of civil serv-
ice employees and must be pre-
served, was almost as difficult a
Job as it was to get King John to
sign the real Magna Carta. To our
President, Mr. Shoro; Vice-Presi-
dent, Jess MacFarland, Chairman

+ of the Legislative Committee;

.| John Cromie, Counsel John De~-
Graff, and all others who worked
so hard on this project, should go
our hearty congratulations for
grand job.

"As you know, a permanent Sal-
ary Standardization Board has
been appointed. One of its mem-

» bers, T. Harlow Andrews of Un-
employment Insurance, is well
known to many of you. Dr, Sulll-
van of Wingdale State Hospital is
also probably well known to many
of you.

Dr. Bigelow

of the Department
of Mental Hygiene, who is the
chairman, is the only holdover
from the old Board. The creation
of a permanent Board is a for-
ward step and one advocated by
the Association
Personnel Council

“Also established is a Person-
nel Council This council will
handle personnel problems in gen-
eral and it is exp adopt
uniform rules for a em-

ployees regarding vacations, work-
ing hours, etc The ation
has a committee which has made
many recommendations to the

Civil Service Commission regard- |

ing @ uniform set of rules for all
departments, We believe this
council will do much to improve
morale.
Retirement
“Several retirement bills were
enacted, but most of the major

}permanent, It

ssn. on Laws

ristopher Fee of the State
0, told members
ence about the legista-

executive board member of

| proposals for liberalization of the
system were deferred.

“One of the most important re-
tirement bills adopted was the
Hatfield Bill sponsored by the as-
sociation which became Chapter
784. Prior to October 1, 1943,
when the Peld-Hamilton Law was
extended to institution employees,
the value of maintenance for re-
tirement purposes was one-half
the cash salary received. Th an
employee receiving a cash salary
of $2,000 had his maintenance set
| at $1,000, which gave him a gross
computation salary of $3,000 upon
which retirement contributions
and privileges were based. When
the Budget Director established
accurate values for maintenance it
was found that many employees’
gross compensation for retirement
purposes was materially reduced.
This bill permits employees to con-
tinue retirement contributions at
the rates established prior to Oc-
tober 1, 1943 and to use the
higher gross salary for retirement
purposes. To take advantage of
this law an employee must file his
election and pay the additional
contributions before April 1, 1946,

“The association introduced a

5 per cent. The Retirement System
went a step further and introducd
a bill to reduce the rate to 4 per
cent. Tt was vetoed by the Gov-
ernor because it was worded in
such a way as to make that rate
seems likely that
next year the rate will be reduced
to 4 per cent. Regrettably the
Oliffe bill allowing a death benefit
of one year's salary after ten
rvice was vetoed

Unemployment Insurance

“We again failed in our attempt
to obtain unemployment insurance

again. A bill to protect the rights

|comes back to the State, was in-
|troduced. Technical difficulties re~
|garding retirement features of the
|bill prevented its passage this
| year.”

State Trip Reveals

Employees’ Fine Work

By CHARLES A.
(Here is the second portion
State institutions made by Char!

CARLISLE, JR.
of the report of a trip around
Tes A. Carlisle, at and William

McDonough, executive representative of the Association of State

Civil Service Em . On this

trip they met many eg pend

ployees,
bers of the State Association and discussed many problems of
est to State employees. The first instalment was published ins Inst

week.—Ed.)
Auburn Prison

‘We arrived at Osborne Hotel
at Auburn with plenty of rain.

We immediately proceeded over
to the Prison, only two blocks
away, and there we were met by
Leo Dorsey, a Guard, who is a
20-year man and who was ap~

weciably helped by some recent
legislation for which he thanked
Mr. McDonough very heartily.

Soon we were introduced to
John F. Foster, Warden at Au-
burn Prison, He has been there
34 years and has come up through
the ranks and all of the men
admire him and like him. His
door is wide open to the em~-
Ployees at any time to come in
and discuss thelr problems with
him. He is a very understanding
individual because he himself has
done the work that these men
are doing. We also met Chap-
lain Pather Gregory Dugan, who
has the interest of the inmates
and the employees at heart at
all times. Also, we met Chief
Clerk Henry Schmidt.

Auburn Prison is one of the
oldest prisons in the State, having
been completed in 1816. We
looked out into the big yard of
Auburn = Prison unded by
buildings on all sides, Here we
saw over 900 prisoners who were
resting before going to supper.
Then we were taken over to cell
Block A where we met Oran Som-
merville and John Flannigan and
Charles O'Donnell. They showed
us around this modern cell Block

A. Here every prisoner has his
own cell. In it is a bed, toilet,
chair, washstand and in most

cases a cage with a canary in tt.
These prisoners seem to love the
canaries. And in this large cell
block where there are around
1,000 cells, you can hear the
voices of these canaries in this
large five-tier-high room all sing-|
ing at once, entertaining the pris-
oners, it is beautiful.

Assi#tant Principal Keeper John
B. Harding came along and

stopped to talk with us as we
were coming out of the main yard
of Auburn Prison. Here at the
Prison they have about 1,300
prisoners and up until 1931 they
also had women prisoners, but
they were moved out at that time.

Late in the afternoon we sat
down to dinner with John Wil-
son, John Gleason and Harry
Dillon, Prancis Holman, Ed Her-
bolt and discussed some of the
problems of the Civil Service As-
sociation and the Insurance at
Auburn Prison, then we moved
over to a hall where we had a
meeting which was very well -at-
tended by many of the guards
and employees at Auburn. After
the meeting refreshments were
served and card games seemed to
be in order.

Newark State School

On June 6 we drove up
Newark State School, about
miles outside of Rochester.
we met Harland Craver,
dent of the Association,
Sawyer, an associate of his.

to
35

Here
Presi-

They
escorted us into the office of E.

D. Pritchard, Senior Business
Officer. There, for a while, we
discussed the problems of the
employees at Newark State
School. One of the main prob-
lems was the farmhands, who are
nou-statutory and who believe
they should be classified as farm-
ers because Mr, Pritchard says
they can’t get a farmhand for
$1,200 a year any more when an
attendant comes in at a starting
salary of $1,300.

At Newark State School they
have 412 employees. They were
snort 177 and they had sbout
2,500 patients.

They likewise have the prob-
lem of a colony system, but most
of their colonies are in cities and
only two or three of them are
farm colonies. The city colonies
have mainly girls who go out and
do part-time work as housework-
ers and so are slowly being
brought back to normality.

Here's a suggestion to persons

qualifications and ability, coupled

with their rating. Just how do
those with less seniority, quali-

Advice On R

‘Thousands of Federal employ-
ees today are looking around for
other Jobs, However, War Man-
power Regulations are still in ef-|
fect, and the employee who just
walks out faces a 60-day period
of unemployment before he may
be hired by another employer,
under the WMC regulation.

The U. 8. Civil Service Com-
mission has advised the heads of
all Federal agencies of the rea-
sons for which statements of
availability should be granted .

Employees who are dropped or

suspended for seven days or
longer are emi iad entitled
to the certificat:

Causes Which  Sustity Change
The Ses Tecognizes the

ops Works on July 4
But Still Celebrates

Employees of the War Depart-
ment Office of Dependency Bene-
fits, who will work on Independ-
ence Day—as they do on all other
holidays except Christmas — will
celebrate the Fourth nevertheless.
. They will be guests of the!
Tienda in the ODB cafeteria at a}
special dinner. The Tienda is the |
ODB-operated lunch booth in the
Concourse of Nations, The cost of |, Ti
the dinner is a dividend from the}
Tienda fund, realized from em- |
ployee purchases.

Arrangements have been made
to serve the ODB’s 9,000 employees
# full-course dinner on that day,
according to Brig, Gen. H. N, Gil-

bert

The office which disburses/
about one-tenth of all War De-
partment expenditures, celebrated
its third anniversary recently.

Originally set up in Washing-
ton when the Servicemen's De-
pendents Allowance Act of 1942,
passed by the 77h Congress, be-
came a law, the ODB was subse-
quently transferred to Newark,
N. J. The ODB ts the Army-wid
activity, disbursing family allow-
ance-of-pay checks on behalf of
soldiers’ dependents residing in all
forty-eight states and in 115 for-
eign localities as well.

Aggregate disbursements of this
activity of the Office of the Piscal
Director, Headquarters, Army
Service Forces, total $9.970,654,764
to date.

Labor Relations
Proposed as Course

The establishment of courses in
Labor Relations in Government
was asked last week of Assem-|
blyman Irving Ives, dean of the!
newly-established Labor School
at Cornell University

Mr, Ives received the request
from the New York City Office
of the American Federation of
State, County and Municipal Em-
ployees. In the communication,
Ellis Ranen, international repre-
sentative of the union, pointed
out that personnel-administration
velations were becomming increas~
ingly important to assure the
highest efficiency of public serv-
lee and that the Cornell sehool

was the logical institution te of-
for ‘courses,

eleases

following us cases of undue per-
sonal hardship entitling the em-
ployee to be approved for re-
lease:

(1) Tiiness of the employee or
of someone in his immediate
family. (The illness of the em-
ployee must be caused or ag-
gravated by work conditions or
other conditions in the place of
employment.)

(2) Conditions at home neces-
sitating the employee's return.

(3) The desire of a wife to join
her husband who has been trans-
ferred to another city.

Statements have been granted,
for example, in cases like the
following: (1) a mother with a
small child who had to spend an
hour and a half each way in go-
ing to and returning from work,
who could not be placed in a Fed-
jeral agency nearer to her home,
|and who had an offer of a job in
pave industry close te her
hon (2) a man whose auto-
mobile, which he had been using
to go to work, had broken down
beyond repair, so that he had to
walk 3 miles to reach the nearest
bus to the city, and (3) a man
with a large dependent family
and a base pay of $1,320, who had
an offer of a job with more pay
in paves: industry.

Reasons Not ised

The Commission does not rec-
ognize the following cases as
consituting undue personal hard-
ship:

() Desire for higher pay, un-
less the employee's rate of pay
is so low and his family condi-
tions are such that the situation
does present ciear evidence of
hardship.

(2) Desire to go to a position
offering better security for the
post-war period.

(3) ‘Transportation inconvenl-
ence, unless there are extenuating
factors.

(4) Discontent with present po-
sition,

(5) Dislike of supervisor.

(6) Homesickness.

entered the service of New York

Likes Home Life

Dr. Soper enjoys family life
and puttering around his home.
He is the father of three daugh-
ters and a son. The son is in the
Naval Air Corps. One daughter
is with the Red Cross, another
verves with a private air line, and
the third is at home in Albany.
His wife, too, is a Nebreskan, and
she bears the romantic first name
of Venice. The whole family still
has the west strongly in its blood,
and as often as they can they go
outdoors—frequently camping at
the many lakes in the vicinity of
Albany.

Dr, Soper likes to write—and
not only the weighty stuff that's
part of his official job. Up in the
attic, he's got a raft of short
stories. Some day, maybe, they'll
be published. And we'll see atill
another side of the western cow-
puncher who became an
PhD.
