Clerical promotions in 65 NYC
governmental bureaus are going
through within a month.

This became evident when the
Civil Service Commission revealed
the long-awaited NYC Clerk,
Grade 3, lists would be ready for
use by department heads on Tues-
day, August 17, The Welfare De-
partment list, not published with
the others last month, will be
included, thus alleviating the fears
of Welfare clerks that their pro-|
motions would be held up.

Bureaus to Begin August 17

‘The lists were compiled from a
city-wide examination conducted
last year slong with other cleri-
cal promotion tests,

1,719 Names on the Lists

There are 1,719 names on the
eligible lists, not including those
on the still-to-come Welfare list,
the Commission disclosed.

Work on the Welfare list is
nearing completion, Commission
officials sald. It was held up while
Commission examiners sifted
lengthy service ratings, Earlier

the Commission had charged that
the ratings were verbose and ap-
Peared to favor particular em-
ployees because these were “ex-
cessively higl

Supporting this charge, the
Commission pointed to hundreds
of ratings higher than 1%, com-
pared with only dozens in the re-

Truman Asks
Higher U.S.
Pay Figure

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2—In hi»
message to the extra session ef
Congress, President Truman asked
for reforms of Federal pay
scales, He said:

“In the final days before ad-
journing in June, the Congress
Passed a bill raising the salaries
of some Federal employees, How-
ever, this bill neglected long
overdue reforms in the Federal
pay scales and discriminated un-
fairly against certain groups of
employees, The Congress should
take this opportunity to enact
more equitable and realistic Fed
eral pay legislation.”

Veterans Organization Endorses
Mitchell Vet Preference Proposal

By MAXWELL LEHMAN
The New York County Council

Veterans of the United States,
endorsed the Mitchell Bill,

on of the New York State Con-
stutution dealing with preference

tit the same time, the organiza~
raed urged that the Condon Bill

clot Harry Grossman, New York
ty, Commander, stated that
Sttorts ‘will be made to enlist public
report for the Mitchell Bill when
introduced in the new Legisla-
“ire early in 1949.

Both Bills Passed
At the past session of the State

Legislature, the two Proposed
amendments, the Mitchell Bill
and the Condon Bill, were intro-
duced.and passed, with the result
that one of them must be passed
at the next session of the Legis-
lature if if is to be submitted to
the people in November, 1949,

‘The Condon Bill provides that
all veterans shall have a prefer-
ence in entrance examinations
until January 1, 1955, and that
only disabled veterans shall have
@ preference in promotional exam-
inations for all time, This means,
the JWV pointed out, that all able-
bodies veterans now in civil ser-
vice, would have no preference
after January 1, 1951,

‘The proposed Mitchell Bill pro-
vides that all disabled veterans be |

Se re

given a 10 point advantage, and
ali non-disabled veterans a 5 point
advantage in entrance examina-
tions, these percentages being
added to their passing marks,
further provides that all disabled
veterans be given an advantage
of 5 points and non-disabled veter-
ans an advantage of 2% points
in promotional examinations,
However, a veteran can benefit by
it only once.

Mf Neither Bill Passes

Commander Grossman pointed
out that if neither of the proposed
amendments is passed, the present
law will remain with the result
that, beginning January 1, 1951,
only disabled veterans will have
any preference in entrance or pro-

motional examinations, This, he'New York City Fire Department | promotion,

Within the ranks of the Ameri-

had sponsored the Condon meas-

an important New York City
unit had come out against the

the Legion had threatened

Ken Stahl, Who Heads a Conference,
Tells What It Means to Employees

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Aug. 2.—It took a
trip from Albany to Rochester to
prove the value of the conference
organization to E, Kenneth Stahl,
genial chairman of the Capital
District Conference of The Civil
Service Employees Association.

‘One of the big guns behind or-
ganization of the Capital District
conference less than @ year ago,
Mr. Stahl points to the conference
as an ideal method of building
unity among association chapters,
by providing a clearing house for
ideas and information.

No Favorites

“And I've found the Association
plays no favorites," he says. He
cites a trip he made to Rochester
in which he received information
on his arrival that had not been
available to him at his Albany of-
fice before he left.

“This incident also brought
home to me,” he says, “that the
conference can play an important
role in developing closer contact
between the Association and in-
dividual chapters:

Not a man to mince words, the
chairman of one of the Associa-
tion’s fastest growing conferences
added, “There has been a real dan-
ger in the Albany area that mem-
bers would take their organiza-
tion for granted.”
ulates

Y

He indicated that the organiza~
tion of the Capital District body
in January had resulted in stimu-
lating activity on the part of in-
dividual State chapters located in
the Albany ar

Saying “It has worked out very
well so far,” Mr. Stahl added:
“The Association needs the active
support of its individual members
and of its chapters, and an active
conference can provide that closer
link betwe chapters and the
Association.”

The Officers

Officers for the Capital District
Conference, in addition to Mr.
Stahl, are David M. Schneider,
vice-chairman; Hileen Dailey, sec-

retary; Margaret A. Mahoney,
treasurer,
These officers were elected in

January when the infant confer-

ence was set up, mainly through

‘the efforts of chapters in the State

Department of Audit and Control

and the State Retirement System,
16 Chapters

Now the conference includes 16
chapters. Mr. Stahl said all State
chapters in the Counties of Al-

bany, Fulton, Greene, Hamilton,
Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga,
Schenectady, Schoharie, Warren,
and Washington “are welcome to
join in the conference program.”
Program of Activity

When the Capital District Con-
ference holds its first annual meet-
ing in September to elect officers
for the corhing year, Mr. Stahl in-
dicated he expects a broad pro-
gram of activity to be developed.

This extensive program is ex-
pected to follow closely the broad
aims and principles set forth by
the Conference when it was first
organized,

At that time, the group pledged
its efforts to:

“Extend and uphold the prin-
ciple of merits and fitness in pub-
He employment.

“Maintain and promote  effi-
clency in public service.

“Advance generally the interests
of the civil service employees of
the State of New York.

Chapters Hold Rights

Mr. Stahl, who is Assistant Ac-
tua in the State Retirement Sys-
tem, emphasized that individual
chapters do not lose any of their
rights or idendity in joining the
conference.

He pointed to the Conference
constitution, which says in part.”

While not a policy-forming

Capital District were looking to the
Conference to “harness the

suing year and selection of those
to appear at the hearing will take
place at such meeting. Reports of
the year’s activities will be pre-
sented by the Chairman, Mr.

Lahey.

ALBANY, Aug. 2—One way to
make some extra cash is to have
an idea, The State won't make
you rich, but it will help you pay
the rent if you can think up some
way of doing tasks in your office
more efficiently. Here are the
names of a group of 12 State
workers who amassed $465 among
them simply by doing a little
thinking. They got paid off by
the New York State Employees
Merit Award Board.

$20.00 to Alexander Fix, Div.
of Placement & Unemployment
Insurance, New York City for
constructive changes in proce-
dures in connection with requests
for official hearings.

operations to eliminate interfiling
of inactive records.

ment of M. V. Form SR-49.

$150.00 to Alfred Weissbard,
Senior Clerk, Bureau of Motor
Vehicles, Albany in recognition of
a more efficient operating proce-
dure which he developed relative
to the suspension and revocation
of licenses. It is estimated that
implementation of his idea will
save from $3,000 to $4,000 annually
in personnel, and will result in
improved service to the public.

$20.00 to W. G. Crandall, Pub-
Uc Works, Albany, for modifica-
tions in the record of highway re-
construction that will provide
more complete information and in-
crease operating efficiency,

Indicating that the Association
had not been invited to confer
with State officials prior to the
adoption of the new rule, Dr. Tol-
man emphasized that the “As-
sociation is on record as believing
conferences should precede any
important change in the rules and
regulations affecting the rights
and privileges of civil service em-
Ployees. The Association has no
brief for the status quo. It be-
lieves in progress but it wants to
know where it is going before it
embarks on new methods and
procedures.”
The new rating system, which
permits the rescailing of both open
competitive and promotion exam-
inations, was adopted by the State
Civil Service Commission in Janu-
ary and made effective June 16,

At Association headquarters in

said “the Association naturally is
very much concerned to learn
that examination ratings on which
eligibility of every employee de-
out adequate explanation or on

without adequate explanation or on

It was understood that represen-

seek answers to these questions
in conferring with department of-

Why was the new grading sys-
tem adopted?

How is the system to be ap-
plied?

What safeguards are contemp-
lated to prevent possible abuse?

Association officials added that
all aspects of the new regulations
are now being studied to determ-
ine their effect on fundamental
principles of the merit system of
government.

ALBANY, Aug. 2 — Approx-

Labor Department’s Division of
Placement and Unemployment In-

cause of a cut in Federal funds

Edward Corsi announced ' today.
Most of the employees affected are
temporary appointees and do not
have permanent Civil Service

The layoffs were necessary,
Corsi said, in order to absorb a
reduction of nearly $900,000. Com-

The Public
Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman
President, The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, Inc., and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.

“Better Understanding”

\(e IS a genuine pleasure to follow the program and
the activities of the civil service employees of Calif-
ornia as set forth monthly in their magazine “The Calif-
ornia State Employee.”

It is stimulating to note how keen and how enthusiastie
the organized civil service employees of California—
organized as well in their own independent association—
are as to every problem of civil service workers. It is
very interesting to read of the activities of their officers
and committees with regard to “the third round wage
pattern,” retirement reforms, State Personnel Board
hearings, their own Association insurance matters, and the
ike,

West Coast Salary Approach

As to salaries, they point out that in a price and wage
situation such as now exists it is not practicable to apply.
prevailing rates in industry through the regular processes
of salary standardization and ‘adjustment. Apparently,
they feel that the times demand that appropriating bodies
should provide a reserve fund to make possible adjustments
in worker income to meet emergency price conditions as
they arise. They point out a situation noted generally as
to the pay of public workers, that “despite justification for
an appropriation on a retroactive basis, it has been the
experience in other jurisdictions that the law-making body
takes the attitude that the employees have been able te
survive and therefore there is no great necessity for back
Pay.”

The New York Principle

This conclusion on the California employee's part is a
strong endorsement of the Westchester County plan of hit-
ching emergency salary adjustments to the cost of living
index — the principle proposed by our Association and ac-
cepted by the New York State Legislature in 1941, but re-
jected by the then governor undoubtedly because it “was
ahead of its time.”

An Interesting Method

An interesting item in the California magazine is a notice
“To Whom It May Concern” of “Proposed Adoption, Amend-
ment, and Repeal of State Personnel Board Regulations,”
dated June 30, 1948, advising of a public hearing of the
Board to be held on August 6, 1948. Then follows some
proposed rules or changes in rules affecting personnel ad-
ministration. The notice states that at the time and place
designated “any interested person or his duly authorized
representative, or both, may present statements, arguments
or contentions in writing respecting such proposals and in
pierce eron of the State Personnel Board may be heard
orally.”

This seems like a fine, frank, open way of dealing with
civil service rules and regulations. We would like it in this
State. It does show due respect for citizens and for public
employees who are also citizens that is not at present shown
in deliberations by all of our civil service administration
agencies.

Tron Curtain in Civil Service

We did not need the example of iron curtain diplomacy in
international affairs to discredit secrecy in civil service
affairs. The secret processes now observed here in civil
service matters ought to be discarded forthwith and the
light of many minds experienced in public service and loyal
to the merit system welcomed in the making of rules and
regulations in which the people and the civil service em-
ployee have a common vital interest.

There is a familiar ring to the words of Mr. F: M. Carter,
the President of the California Civil Service Employees As-
sociation. They echo the thoughts frequently expressed by
the writer. In his July message to his membership President
Carter states:

“The sharing of information by the management with
the employee will promote better understanding. Better
understanding results when the employee tunes in on the
information surrounding his job, But he cannot tune in
unless there is a source of facts . . . The grapevine is a
vicious method of sharing information. There is no devic
that tears down employee moral as does this method. The
bad effects of the grapevine can be counteracted and ren-
dered impotent by the sharing of information . . . Sharing
information is the road to better understanding; minds of
employees are keenly alert to facts. In a democracy we work
together . . . We must restore among ourselves the under-
standing of our common interest in our daily economic well
being.’

A Healthy Organization

There is encouragement for every civil service employee
in New York State and in every other state in the healthy,
vigorous, indpendent California Civil Service Employees

your actual age may exceed the

there are two ways in which your

if your real age is 36 and the

It should be noted that these
provisions of jaw do not apply to

only apply to veterans of World

The question will undoubtedly
be raised by some readers as to

not be disqualified from holding

|makes an exception by providing
that this privilege does not ex-|
tend to “positions for which age

ized or prescribed by law”.
Limits on Age Limits

Accordingly, where age limits
can properly be imposed, the Mili-
[tary Lew and not the Civil Ser-|
vice Law alds the over-age veter-
jan. But the extent of this aid to
veterans is limited by the fact |
that for the vast majority of civil|
service positions no maximum age |
limits (other than retirement age |
limits) may be imposed. Section
'95-a of the Civil Service Law pro-
|vides that civil service commis-
sions cannot disqualify a pe’
‘who is physically and mentally
qualified from competing, par-|
ticipating or registering for a civil
se competitive examination
* * © by reason of his or her age”. |

But the Legislature did recog-
nize a group of positions for
which maximum age limits may
be imposed, These are character-
jized in the Civil Service Law as
“positions such as policeman, fire-
man, prison guard or other posi-
tions which require extraordinary
physical effort”. As to these, the |
State Civil Service Commission or
|a municipal civil service commis-
sion may adopt reasonable mini-
mum or maximum age require-
ments where age limits for such |
positions are not already pre-
scribed by law. It is, therefore,
only in connection with examina-
tions for this latter group of posi-
tions requiring extraordinary phy-
sical effort that the special age
privileges granted by the Military
‘Law are applicable.

ment operations and compared
them with similar salary facts in
other fields. Armed .with statisti-
cal information, the Association
made its case to the Governor, the
Director of the Budget, the State
Budget Advisory Committee and
the general public,

The result was an executive de-
cision to exempt from the pay re-
ductions all employees receiving
less than $2,000 a year — and
that meant about 75% of all em-
ployees then working for the
Btate.

Excellent Relations

Relations with Governor Leh-
man were excellent, The
sociation said of him at the time:
“Governor Lehman enjoys the re-
spect and confidence of every
worker in State service. The or-
ganized employees
sociation have found him a willing
counseler and friend in every im-
portant problem presented to him,
Never before in the history of

the part of executive, legislative |

and administrative leaders such a
fine spirit of cooperation, with a
will to recognize the tremendous
source for good that lies in the
organized initiative and enter-
prise of the thousands of profes-
sional and skilled employees com-
prised within the civil service
froups. This group stands ready
to suggest many important ave-
nes open to increased efficiency
in public functioning, and with
the good will now established, is
in an admirable position to safe-
guard the interests of employees
from unthinking and persistent
attacks... .”
Tolman and Brind on Committee

A special Committee was ap-
pointed to work with the Division
of the Budget, the Civil Service
Commission and department head:
in applying new Civil Service pr
cedures in classification and al-
location of positions along lines
adopted for that year. The Com-
mittee contained the names of
two men who later became presi-
dents of the organization: Dr,
Charles A. Brind and Dr, Frank
L. Tolman, both of the Education
Department. The work of this
Committee, and the interest ar-
oused in its members, had effects
which are still being felt.

Finger in the Dike

The organization had more than
a full job on its hands that year.
The forces of the nation’s econo-
mic crash had now hit with giddy-
ing intensity, and the Associa-
tion's officers had to run from
one task to another, in order to
prevent the whole structure of
merit, laboriously built up over
the years, from crashing, too, An
example; A reduction in appro-
priations for public construction

resulted in the dismissal of sever- |

al hundted employees in the De-~
partment of Public Works, and de-
motions in rank and pay for
others. The Association's officers

in this As--|

jmet with Colonel Greene, then
j head of the Department. Colonel
Greene and his staff laid before
|the Association the open facts
concerning the disastrous effect
Jon employees resulting from de-|
creased appropriations, Leese i
to almost $40,000,000 in two years.
Administrative heads, he pointed
out, faced the responsibility of
reducing their forces. He was|
|making every effort to keep em- |
|ployees on the payroll until ali|
other means of saving money had
been exhausted.
Month’s Notice

The Association, distressed, but |
realistically concerned with the
times through which the Ameri- |
can people were ‘passing, asked |
| that those to be laid off be given}
[eae longest possible notice. Goy- |
| ernor Gehman ruled that at least
a month’s notice must be given
every employee whose dismissal
was occasioned by depleted funds. |

An indication of the advance
made by public employees is the
fact that if this were to happen
today, such employees would be
|entitled to unemployment insur- |
|ance, a program pushed through
by the Association fifteen years
later.

The Fair Play Argument

The strength of the group's
jarguments struck home solidly
|with the general public, prevent-
ing what might have been a com-
plete dislocation of employee gains
up to 1933—and disrupting also
the essential work of the State.
The argument went this way:
|To suegest greater reduction in
pay would not fit in with fair
play for public employees as citi-
zens. This group had been under-
paid over twenty years, fifteen of
them the most prosperous in the
country's history, It would be
entirely unjust to saddle upon
|these employees what in effect |
| Would be greater tax burdens than
| those borne by other citizens: Un-
| reasonable salary reduction would
jrepresent unreasonable taxation
under another name. Reduced sal-
aries threatened to place the pub-
worker at a disadvantage in re-
jJation to the cost of living. The
anticipated rise in commodity
(prices would inevitably throw the
|Civil Service employees into a
struggle for existence on a basis |
below ordinary social levels. And
with salaries fixed in the budget
|for a period ending fifteen months
later, the adjustment possible with
private employees would leave the
State workers without possibility
hes relief.

Continuing Struggle

While maintaining this fight for
decent pay, the Association did
not forget its continuing struggle
for maintainance of the merit
system, Less than fifty per cent
of all State employees in 1933 were
in the competitive class. For fifty
years, the State Civil Service De-
partment had stragegled along
without a competitive classifica-

UN Song
Written By

OSSINING, Aug, 2—James A.
McGrane, a Guard and Angelo
Baccaii, Band Master at Sing Sing
Prison are a songwriting team,
They have collaborated on several
songs and are becoming well
known in the music world. To Mr.
McGrane this is a new field, but
Mr. Baccari has had a wide ex-
perience in musical activities,

Their most recent song, “United
Nations,” was the result of a re-
quest that the pair write a song

about the UN for the United Na-|

tions Week program at Tarry-
town, last September. Mr. Mc-
Grane wrote the lyrics while Mr,
Baccari wrote the spirited tune, a
fine march, The number was ac-
cepted by the Committee in com-
petition with many others from all
over the country, and was intro-
duced by Martha Aleson, con-
tralto, of the stage and radio, The
song has the approval of Mr,
Benjamin Cohen, Assistant Secre-
tary-General in Charge of Public

Information for the UN, and of | City,

the American delegate, Warren R.
Austin.

Mr. McGrane had the song pub-
lished in order to get it cleared
for broadcasting and recording.

Probes Rights
Of Employees

Public employees may join or-
ganizations and may bargain col-
Jectively with pubite officials, but
they do not have the right to
strike, nor is either exclusive col-
lective bargaining or the closed

ice—in the considered judgment of
H. Eliot Kaplan.

The executive director of the
National Civil Service League, ex-

Employee Policy

New York State has always been
receptive to good ideas—whether
they stem from private industry,
from other public jurisdictions, or
full-blown from the minds of its
own public officials, One of the
organizations that has contributed
ideas to New York State has been
the General Electric Company,
whose general offices at Schenec-
tady are convenient to Albany,
New York State's capital. For ex-
ample, several years back the sug-
gestion plan of General Electric
was adapted into the Merit Award
Board plan of New York State,

With this in mind, The LEADER
presents the following nine-point
program of General Electric,
through which its management
aims to improve jobs at General
Electric. There is much here of
value to New York State and lo-
cal governments in the long-range
planning of management-employee
relations in public service. It is
our hope that public officials as
well as officers and members of
The Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation will study these points.
Perhaps such study will aid in im-
proving the morale—and the effi-
ciency—of the State service —
EDITOR'S NOTE.

GOOD PAY

General Electric says it wants
the employee's pay envelope “to
contain what's right in compari-
son with pay for similar work
under similar conditions in your
plant and community. The skill,
care, and effort you put into your
work—and the way your experi-
ence and interest help you to do
a good job—count in determining
your pay. In addition to what's!
in your pay envelope, there are
paid vacations and holidays, pen-|
sions and life insurance, suggestion
awards, and other valuable bene-!
fits from your working here.”

GOOD WORKING CONDITIONS

General Electnic wants its em-
ployees to work in a safe, well-
equipped, convenient, pleasant
Place, “We are on the lookout at
all times for possible improve-
ments. Your suggestions can play
an important part in getting the
improved working conditions we
all want.

GOOD BOSSES

A good boss helps make a good
job better. General Electric ex-
pects its foreman and other super-
visors to give employees real help
in getting work done the best way
—and to lead rather than push
people around in doing this. “We
also hope that more and more
they can save you time, money,
and worry in personal matters by
reason of their training, exper~
ience, and access to information.”

A CHANCE TO GET AHEAD

General Electric wants promo-
tions to be made fairly and on
the basis of merit. Ability and

loyee does on his
eavily in his favor.

STEADY WORK

Says G. E.: “We are do;
we know how towards jn

ALBANY, Avg. 2—The State
Civil Service Commission will
hold promotion examinations eut-
ting across all departments.

The decisions te hold inter-de-
partmental exams (described im
previous issues of The LEADER)
came last week after a variety of
pros and cons had been ironed
out.

The first examination will be
that for Senior Account. It will
set the standards for tests to fol-
low. (The Account Clerk position
pays an entrance salary of $2,-
484, whieh includes a cost-of-liv-
ing bonus of $324, In addition,
there are five annual increments
of $120. Applicants must have
three months permanent status im

tion of equivalent status.)

where the vacancy exists.
Upon exhaustion of this pro
motion unit list, the depart-
ment-wide list, in the depart-

but merely because they are sick,
then many of them, unfortunately,
would become sick merely to col-

If continuation of the policy is
desired, application for conversion

a new application must be sent in

Please send the old policy along

Please note that this whole sub-

good for a maximum period if you
became disabled while the pre-

conditions of the policy carried,
even if you resign or leave the ser-

Travel Allowance
Points a Moral

iE Office of State Comptroller Frank C. Moore has
done a workmanlike job in the manner by which it
has raised travel allowances for State employees.

At a meeting with a committee of the Civil Service
Employees Association, the Comptroller’s aides were in-
formed that travelling workers are finding all costs on the
road up—gas, oil, insurance, car maintenance, hotel prices
and meals.

The State had been paying 6c a mile to employees us-
ing their own cars on public business, and $9 a day for
living expenses. These figures did not accord with pres-
ent-day costs, the employees maintained, and it was actu-
ally costing them money-out-of-pocket to travel for the
Btate.

The Comptroller's Office set to work to gather all the
relevant information. The study was detailed and thor-
ough. It proved the employees were right. While the
State did not go as high as the employees had expected
(it was felt that 8c a mile was closer to the real cost),
nevertheless, the Comptroller did go to the point where
his figures led him. Car costs were raised to 7c a mile;
living expenses to $9.50 a day.

This is an illustration of one of the real advances made
in New York State government. Today employees and man-
agement can sit down over a problem and work it out
on the basis of facts, coolly and in a gentlemanly manner.
Other States—and many local governments within the
State as well—can learn from this demonstration what
it is that makes good working relationships and better
public performance,

Per Diem U. S. Workers
Need Consideration, Too

HE salaries of Federal employees were raised some-

what by Congress at the last session—not enough,
but somewhat.

These raises did not apply to a large, important group
of Government workers—the hourly and per diem work-
ers at various Army and Navy establishments. The sal-
aries of such workers is fixed by local wage boards, in
accordance (theoretically) with the rates of pay prevail-
ing in the communities where the work is being per-
formed.

Now it was felt by the proponents of the Congressional
pay raise that the local wage boards would be influenced
to raise pay also. It is obvious that a man who works on
an hourly or per diem basis has the same financial prob-
Jems these days as does anyone else.

The wage boards have not, however, been in too great
a hurry to make adjustments. Thus it happens that men

work side by side—some of them on annual salary, re-| pe

ceiving $330 a year more than formerly; others, on hourly
or daily rates, receiving no more than they have formerly.

Ilourly and per diem rates of pay should go up—just
as the price of meat has gone up.

Wage boards in the same areas should also clear with
each other more effectively than they do. The LEADER
learns, for example, that men in the New York area, do-
ing the same work, are paid different rates by the Navy
and by the Army. Of course, this doesn’t make for good
working relationships, because the lower-paid group al-
ways feels it is being slighted. Certainly there should be
little trouble in establishing uniform pay standards,

Repeat This!

THEY’RE already talking about
the State gubernatorial candidate
for 1950. In GOP circles, these
names are being mentioned:
Lieutenant Governor Joe R. Han-
ley, to succeed himself; Comp-
troller Frank C. Moore; D. Mal-
Jory Stephens, powerful Assembly
figure; William Bleakley, West-
chester boss, and Ozzie Heck,
Speaker of the Assembly. At this
moment, despite his age, the bet-
ting ts on Hanley. Which still
leaves an open spot on the State
ticket. If Frank Moore should get
the nomination, there will be two
open spots. So Republicans all
over the State are angling—which
makes more political hay, since
they're angling for the good spots
in Washington, too .. . Don’t be
surprised if Paul Lockwood emer-
ges as @ gubernatorial candidate
after a two-year build-up in Wash-
ington and a Dewey push. That
kind of a background might put
him over, politicos say .

WHAT is Harry Truman's worth
to private industry if he is de-
feated? Can he get a job as head
of s university or an insurance
company? No one knows. But the
Political erystal-ball boys foresee
this kind of a deal: Truman might
appoint one of the Missouri Sen-
ators (Donnell or Kem) to a long-
term Federal job. And Truman
himself would be appointed to
the vacant Senatorial post by
Missouri's Democratic Governor
Phil M. Donnelly. This set up has
interesting connotations: First, the
two Missouri Senators are Re-
publicans. One of them would be
nominated to a high Federal pos-
ition by @ lame duck President,
who himself would be appointed
to the Senatorship by a lame duck
Governor — for Donnelly must
run again in this fall's election,
and he too might lose. That’s the

Robert K. Stilson

ANY public official who under-
takes to tangle with Robert Ken-
neth Stilson s @ brave man in-
deed. If the tangle isn’t quite
on the up-and-up, it’s just too
bad for the unwary gentleman
on the other side of the ring,

There was a time, only a month
ago, when the Schenectady Chap-
ter of the Civil Service Employees
Association was fighting for a pay
raise. A local Supervisor form the
10th ward, by name Joseph Don-
nan, ran a poll among the resi-
dents of nis area on the question
of a pay raise. That poll revealed
that the citizens in the 10th ward
were overwhelmingly opposed to
the proposed pay increase.

Stilson didn’t like the way the
thing looked. So he did a little
studying of the situation, He
showed that the poll was so
worded as to elicit exactly the an-
swer which Donnan wanted, that
it was in fact strictly a phony.
He showed that Donnan’s figures
were all wet. And then Bob
wound up with this haymaker;
“It is unfortunate that the Super-
visor was misinformed, and that
the misinformation found its way

kind of speculation the master-
minds are going in for in the)
summer's t. This strategy
would have more point if the
Eoece Missouri Senators only

pened to be Democrats . .

NYC Democrats are somewhat |
perturbed over the patronage-fat
Surrogate situation. They had
felt that when Hugo Rogers took |
over the leadership of Tammany,
and compromised with Mayor Wil-
Mam O'Dwyer on candidate Judge
Mullin, that Mullin would then
receive the ALP endorsement.
Without ALP endorsement, Mullin
is almost sure to lose to GOP
candidate Frankenthaler. Enter
Vito Marcantonio. That gentle-
man’s candidate for the job is O.
John Rogge, former U. 8. Justice
Department attorney. Rogge knows
he won't win, but to him the job
is @ first-rate publicity build-up
for lecture tours etc. If Rogge is
nominated to the State Supreme
Court, at the ALP judicial con-
vention im September, there is
still time for him to relinquish
the Surrogate nomination, and
the ALP endorsement to go to
Mullin. But Rogge says he won't
Party to such a deal. Now
Tammany and ALP politicians are
petting worried — they feel they
can't handle Rogge. Rogge has
a history of defying his bosses
when he disagrees with them—
to the beating of loud publicity
drums. Marcantonio may be hold-
ing Rogge in the race simply to
muscle out of the way John P,
Morrissey, who is running against
Mare for the Congressional seat
in the district. But if Rogge won’t
withdraw, that deal can’t be made.
‘This is one time when Marc's man

might not play Mare’s way...

to the public, endangering our
efforts under the chapter to se-
cure pay raises, I am sure resi-
dents of Bellevue would have
shown a different attitude than
that indicated by the poll, had
Mr. Donnan taken the care to
obtain correct information,”

He proved to the City Council
that Donnan’s blast against ade-
quate salary increase adjustments
was filed with the Council after
Donnan had voted a wage in-
crease across the board for
county officials and employees—
a significant inconsistency, He
rounded up the Schenectady news-
papers on his side. One’of them
ran interviews of its own, get-
ting completely different results
from those Donnan achieved.
Poor Mr. Donnan appeared to be
a highly demolished politician be-
fore it was over.

Wages of Yesterday

To the employees of the City
Council, Stilson drove home his
Plea for a pay raise with this
statement. “You can’t expect city
officials and employees to build a
town of tomorrow on the wages of
yesterday.”

This year, Stilson and his chap-
ter have pushed through raises
both for city and county employ-
ees, He is now working on a re-
vised, liberalized set of leave rules
for county employees. Knowing
Stilson, you can lay your bets
he'll win this one, too.

LY Perhaps the worst thing about
New York City’s civil service is
its atrocious classification system
—‘classification through confu-
sion.” Because it is stated in such
simple, easily-understood terms,
‘The LEADER begins this week a
series of articles consisting of =
study made for the Citizens Bud-
get Commission. The articles deal
with a “weighty” subject, yet are
so lightly written as to be a kind
of hallmark in writing of this kind.
Every NYC employee and official
should read this series, The
LBADER adds that a study of the
excellent New York State Feld-
Hamilton law ought to be a prel-
ude for any changes to be made.
Bus the changes must come—soon-
er or later they must come, if the
City is to work its way out of
incredible confusion — incredibly
costly confusion, it may be added.
The City desperately needs a
decent pay plan, must stop the
wastage of manpower.

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

The Human Beings Who Work for NYC—
Or, a Study in Unclassified Job Confusion

Now you ean start reading the
report itself, And please don’t
skip fa fan — this is too im-

‘The People Who Work for Us

“Government of the people, by
the people, for the people .. .”
Abraham Lincoln appreciated in-
tensely that government is the
people, but most of us tend to think
about our government—national,
state and municipal—as an ab-
straction, Our government is com-
posed of people like ourselves. One
out of every fifty persons in the
City of New York works for the
municipal government, This means
that forty-nine of us employ our
fiftieth neighbor to work in our
government for us.

‘The cost of employing this army
of our neighbors is a half billion
dollars a year—aproximately half
of the total annual budget. But
that is only part of the story. The
remainder of the story is the
human element. We have 150,000
employees, almost 190,000 if we in-
clude certain quasi-City agencies.
We the people of the City are
the largest employers in the City
of New York, We have a right
and a duty to concern ourselves
with the welfare of our employees,

Plain Talk about Personnel

Double-Talk

There has been much loose
thinking and looser talking about
City personnel problems, particu-
Jarly about the classification of

positions in the government, for
|as long as the memory of living
Iman, There may be reasons why

the subject has not been treated
realistically. If there are such rea-
sons, we.do not know any that
warrant evasion or failure to ap-
proach the subject directly now.

‘This section of our report pivots
upon the five departments under
study, but the weaknesses in per-
sonnel administration are City-
wide. And, therefore, illustrations
of those weaknesses are cited from
both the subject departments and
other departments in pointing up
the following observations,

Our study has made it clear that
one reason why there has been
so much difficulty about the City’s
personnel problems, is that per-
sonnel administration in the
New York City government is a
wonderland of technical gobblede-
gook, It is cluttered with termin-
ologies that confuse the unitiated,

Another reason is that words
like position classification, Job an-
alysis, class specification, salary
standardization, service rating and
others have been made to appear
formidable and frightening. In dis-
cussing the problem we find that
we too have to use these words
because they are a kind of com-
mon coin, but the misinterpreta~
tion of these words in the past
cannot defeat plain talk if there
is @ will now to think simply.

Business Administration

In the business world there are
certain axomatic principles. They
have been tested by time and by
the most practical test of all—
namely, that they work.

‘One of these principles ts that

Its Book

of Rules

Fascinating Stuff

The New York City Health De-
partment this week completed a
new employee handbook, “You
and Your Department of Health,”
to replace its older and drier book
of rules,

This handbook is designed to
acquaint new employees with cus-
toms, regulations and procedures
of the Department in language
which will be meaningful to any
employee who picks it up, Copies
will also be given out to present
employees so that they can become
familiar with all phases of depart-
mental work.

Personnel Director William
Brody first visualized the new
handbook back in 1945. “The for-
mer book of rules" he said, “con-

when you go out to find a person
to do a job, you first have to know
what the job is. You have to know
what the work is in order to de-
cide how much it is worth in dol-
lars to have the work done, After
that, you look for a person quali-
fied by education and experience
to do the work,

Another simple fact is that you
have to give the person you employ
a chance to get ahead. You have
to help train him to do his work
effectively, evaluate his services
fairly and give him an opportunity
for promotion. If an employee
cannot progress, he can hardly be
blamed if he loses interest and his
work suffers. Stagnation is the
enemy of production,

Government Administration

The principles that apply to em~
Ployment in business are similar
to those in government. But be-
cause the profit, motive is lacking
as @ spur, we have had to learn
through long and bitter experience
that we must have a systematic
merit system in government, We
have taken the first step against
abuses of public funds by re-
quiring most people who are to
be employed to demonstrate their
fitness to do the work for which
they are employed. But we have
not taken many of the steps that
should follow.

Necessarily, there has to be a
certain amount of order in the
administration of government per-
sonnel]. This does not mean that
there can be no flexibility. In any
well devised system of government
employment there can be adequate
preservation of flexible operation
without opening the public treas-
jury to wasteful expenditures.

As part of the machinery to ac-
omplish this goal, professional
workers in the field of personnel
administration have devised what
they call ® “Position Classifica-

This ts a system which studies
everything important about all
the jobs in the government service
and tells exactly what the work

of, and arranges the Jobs
fm a definite order so that every-
eme who does the same kind of
work ts given the same kind of
title and can get the same kind
ef pay. The employee in the job
then knows to which Job he can
be promoted, and tne employer
knows what kind of person he
needs to fill any position that be-
comes vacant,

Household Administration

Our City hires firemen and po-
Meemen who are trained to do
& certain technical Job, Frequent-
Jy, however, it assigns them, and
even sergeants, Heutenants and
captains, to do the work of clerks
or typists for which they have not
been hired or trained. A visitor
to these departments and also
the Sanitation Department would
find a remarkable amount of one-
fingered typing,

If a housewife were to employ a
trained nurse to wash the clothes
and a porter to advise her on in-
terior decoration, her neighbors
would tap their skulls suggestively,

and she might eventually find |,

herself regarded as being quite
out of her senses for employing

ple, as the personnel technic-

is say, “out-of-title.” Her neigh-
bors would know that a trained
nurse gets more money, and
properly so, than a laundress, and
they would think it wasteful and
silly for her to employ a skilled
person to do that work. They
would also believe that a porter

formed on Interior decoration, and
they would think that she was
wasting a lot of money by taking
his advice,

If this housewife would adopt
a “position classification,” it would
be quite simple, It would consist
of two titles—one would be laun~
dress and the other would be in-
terior decorator, She would also
know exactly what work each per-
son would do. She would employ
a laundress to wash the clothes
and an interior decorator to sug~
gest how to furnish her home,
For her purposes, a “position
classification” is as simple as that.
Of course, if there are 150,000
jobs involved, they would have to
be arranged in logical order, and
some other matters would also be
involved, but this is the basic
principle.

That is not all, In order to
make the position classification
work, the housewife would have
to go a step further. She would
have to decide what she should
pay for the work done, Of course,
she would have to give some at=
tention to how much her neigh-
bors are paying for the services
of a laundress. The technicians
sometimes call this the rate of
pay prevailing in the community.
The housewife would decide, in
view of these facts, how much
she should pay for the work, She
would then make the same deci-
sion on how much she will pay,
based upon the work to be done.
She has adopted what the tech-

nicians call a’ “pay plan” to go
with a “position classification.”
For her purposes a “pay plan”

is as simple as that.

Now a housewife might then go
to an employment agency to hire
a Jaundress and perhaps to her
neighbors to get: suggestions on a
ood interior decorator. This is
er way of “recruiting personnel.”
The Black Book of Classification
The Civil Service Commission is
the employment agency for the
City of New York. Its problem
is also to do for Father Knickers
bocker’s 150,000 jobs what the
housewife has to do for two,

To maintain some semblance of
order, the Commission has pubs
lished a 262-page black-covered
book which it calls its “Rules and
Regulations.” In this book we fing
what the City is using as a Pos-

ition Classification, The City’s
employees are grouped into two
the ified” and the

“unclassified.” One of these sere
vices, the classified service, is diw

{ded into four “classes,” The bige
gest of these cl is called the
“competitive” class, This class is

also divided, into forty-six “ser
vices” which are also known as
“parts.” Already you can see
that we have two kinds of “ser-
vices”—one a big service and the
other a little service.

We have made a thorough an-
alysis of the classification book,
and in the following chapter.

Sanitation Department Lists

The disabled veteran claimants
in the Foreman, Sanitation De-
partment, promotion examination
have been called for interview.
There were 31 claimants. One
candidate withdrew his claim
Five candidates failed to submit
the required forms. As there are
17 vacancies, all will be filled by
disabled veterans as soon as the
Veterans Administration clears
the certificates, all of which have
been submitted to the VA.

The Sanitation Man, Class B,
gible list will be promulgated
y day. It was published by the

li

e

Commission a couple of months
ago, Promulgation will permit im-
mediate appointments. There are
600 disabled veteran claimants.

“We have to clear the DV
claims before we can promulgate
the list," explained President

McNan a.

Also the Lieutenant (P.D) list
will be published any day, It was
held up purposely, pending de-|
cision in the case’ of Patrolmen
who protested the multiple “best”
answers in the examination for
promotion to Sergeant. The Court |
of Appeals affirmed the lower

courts’ finding that there could
be only one “best” answer. Some
multiple “best” answers were in
the official key of the Police Lieu-
tenant examination. The same
method, of selecting only one final
wer, or, if that seemed
ble, knocking out the ques-

en
tion entirely, was followed in the
Police Lieutenant examination as

the final disposition of the
geant examination problem.

plex problems arose, but comple-

demand from the Police Depart-

Conflict on Schick Law

|. President McNamara has writ-
|ten to Police Commissioner Arthur
|W. Wallander, inquiring whether
he would join in asking an opin-
ion from the Corporation Counsel
on a construction of the Schick
local law which reduced from five
years to three the time a Patrol-
jman had to serve before attain.
ing top grade and pay. The bill

examination, the one contested in
the courts on the multiple “best”
answer score. Thus a contradic-
|tion exists between this law and
|the Administration Code, which
makes the first grade decisive of
\eligibility im promotion examina-
tions, says the Commission, and
|has to be settled.

‘The petitioning Patrolmen in
the “best” answer test case, head~
ed by George Blumenthal, say
that they insist that the Com.
mission abide by the provisions
of the Schick law, and if it fails
to do so, will sue to compel it.
The First Grade Patrolmen who
have not been five years in the
job say that if the Schick law
is followed, in respect to except-
ing the Sergeant candidates, they

Pass Mark Change

As a result of this action, the
pass mark for Part I of the writ-
ten test will be based on a mini-
mum of 50 or 51 correct answers
instead of the 56 set as the pre-
vious minimum. The ratings will
be made on a basis of 72 correct
answers equalling 100 per cent;
before it was 80.

When a list is established, it
will be used to fill 35 existing
vacancies. The test was taken last
June by 846 candidates.

State Commission might approve
@ six-month extension if asked
do so,

Following last week's State Com-
mission meeting, it was announced
that the NYC resolution, which’
had been approved by Vincent R.
Impellitteri, Acting Mayor, had
been denied.

‘Unnecessary’

The commission stated it felt
that it is unnecessary to extend the
use of @ war-duration rule for an
additional year.

A brief statement issued by the
Commission cited the fact that

NYC Must Cease Hiring
Provisional Employees

war-duration appointments “have
peste discontinued in State ser.
vice.”

Short Period O K

A spokesman for the Commis.
sion, however, indicated that “fur.
ther consideration” would be given
to a resolution which limited the
duration of the use of the war
appointment rule to December
31, 1948—“in view of the admini.
strative problems which would
face the NYC Commission if the
use of this rule were discontinued
immediately.”

Frank J, Quayle gave ger

erous recognition to the merit system when he promoted
all six remaining eligibles on the list for Chief of De-

He didn’t have to select them, since the designation
could have been given to any Deputy Chiefs of his selev-

There was only one vacancy, naturally, for the top
fire-fighting position of Chief of Department, and the
___| post went to the No. 1 eligible, Deputy Ghief Peter Loftus.
The former No. 1 eligible who was promoted to the post,
Harold J, Burke, retired. There was considerable agita-

pecially by those who felt that the Chief of Department

missioner for his graciousness and his demonstrated 1e-

U. S. Civil Service Advised
To Apply ‘Disabled’ Label
Only to '10% Veterans’

‘The U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
tion has been requested to ask the
Attorney General's opinion on the
interpretation of the Veteran Pref-
erence Act of 1944 as related to
@vil service preferences for dis-
abled yeterans rated zero per cent
by_the Veterans’ Administration.

In « letter addressed to the
Commission by the National Civil
Bervice League, the beljef ts ex-
ee ssed that the ruling of the New

fork Court of Appeals, handed
down on April 22, in s case in-
volving the New York civil service
preference law, applies to the Fed-
eral civil service preference act be-
eause the language of the two laws
is substantially similar. The New
York court ruled that veterans
mated Jess than 10 per cent dis-
sbled—the minimum degree of dis-
bility required for compensation
purposes—were not entitled to civil
ervice preference as “disabled”
veterans,

Minor Disabilities

In the federal service, explained
H. Eliot Kaplan, Executive Direc-
tor of the League, veterans who are
certified by the Veterans’ Admin-
istration as disabled, even if they
have such trivial or minor phys-
feal defects as flat feet, pyorrhea,

to their examination ratings (even
if they get less than the required
passing mark of 70) are placed at
the top of the civil service regis-
ter ahead of all other veterans and
non-veterans. They have priority
in appointment. This has resulted
in considerable abuse and grave
injustice among the veterans them-
selves, and such preferences are
worth in many cases thousands of
dollars. In many instances genu-
inely disabled veterans are de-
prived of an opportunity for ap-
pointment in the federal service
because some nominally “disabled”

Teunian’ s No- Discrimination

Order Called Ineffective

WASHINGTON, Aug, 2 — Civil
wervice experts are discounting
President Truman’s recent execu-
tive order outlawing discrimina-
tion in the Federal service,

They point out that the President
did nothing to alter the policy al-
ready on the books; that the only
change is to set up & 7-man board

of Civil Service Commission em-
ployees and call it a Falr Em-
ployment Board — but the Com-
mission gets no powers it does
not already have

They add, too, that General Omar
Bradley, Army Chief of Sta
pointedly made the statement,
after the President's order, that
segregation would not he outlawed
in the Army; and that this seemed

to weaken the effect of the order
aa it applies to civil service,
It Does Exist

The need of an order at this
time, they feel, is also a tacit ad-
mission that discrimination does
exist in the Federal service, even
though it is expressly forbidden
by law and by existing executive
onlers.

On the positive side, it ia pointed
out that it is always a good thing!
when a President of the United!
States re-aflirms the democratic
principle that discrimination must

not be permitted im a domocratic
Government,
Order 9980

The President’s order follows:

WHEREAS the principles on
which our Government ia based
require a policy of fair employ-
ment throughout the Federal
establishment, without discrimina-
tion because of race, color, religion,
or national origin

WHERNAS te is delicailvandia
the public interest that all steps
be taken necessary to insure that
this long-established policy shall
be more effectively carried out:

NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue
of the authority vested in me as
President of the United States, by
the Constitution and the laws of the
United States, it is hereby ordered

aa follows:
. All personnel actions taken by
* Federal appointing officers

shall be based solely on merit and
j fitness; and such officers are au-
thorized and directed to take ap-
propriate steps to insure that in
jall such actions there shall be no
| discrimination because of race, eol-
or, religion, or national origin.
The head of each department
in the executive branch of the
Government shall be personally
responsible for am effective pro-

gram te insure that fair employ-
ment policies are fully observed in
all personnel actiona within his de-
partment,

3, The head of each depart-

* ment shall designate an official
therof as Fair Employment Officer.
Such Officer shall be given full op-
erating responsibilty, under the
immediate qypervision of the de-
partment head, for carrying out
the fair-employment policy herein
stated, Notice of the appointment
of such Officer shall be given to
all officers and employees of the
department. The Fair Employment
Officer shall, among other things—

(a) Appraise the personnel ac-
tions of the department at regular
intervals to determine their con-
formity to the fair-employment
policy expressed in this order,

(b) Receive complaints or ap-
Peals concerning personnel actions
taken in the department on grounds
of alleged discrimination because
of race, color, religion, or na-
tional origin.

(ce) Appoint such central or
regional deputies, committees, or
hearing boards, from among the
officers or employees of the depart-
ment, as he may find necessary or
desirable on a temporary or perma-
nent basis to investigate, or to re-

enough to limit the number of
applicants to a figure that can be
handled with dispatch. The short-
age of personnel and, to a degree,
equipment at the regional office
would make it impossible to get
the registers out in time for holi-
day appointments, should an un-
expectedly large number of candi-
is that @ seven-day filing period
would produce 25,000 candidates,
far more than enough to assure
an adequate number of eligibles to
fill all vacancies until at least
January 1 ,1952.

Post Office Clerk - Carrier
Test for NYC in The Making

Rowing, Angi 8, 1948

Second District office would hayy
to get rating assistance from thy
central office in Washington. It {y
reported that if as many as 25,009
do apply, the central office wii
undertake the rating of 20,009
papers, while the Regional Offics
will rate the 5,000 others, and by
that method the registers of ole
gibles can be ready for use some
about the middle of November,

When new registers of eligibiay
are issued, the Commission has tig
authority to kill eligible lists in the
same title that are more than 4
year old, It is reliably reported
that the Commission intends to
terminate all existing lists in the
title, for all the post offices within
the NYC, as soon as the new lists
come out, to create a uniform ex.
piration date. This was one fear
that made eligibles on the Clerk
list and the Carrier list in Brook.
lyn, and on the Carrier lst in
New York, N. Y. post office, hops
against the holding of a new ex.
amination,

The reason for holding the ex.
amination for all post offices in
NYG, and setting up registers on
the basis of the separate tests that
assay the two different skills, iy
oft what sound theory the city can
be considered as five separaia
that the Commission does not sea
components.

Goldman Reported Willing

Postmaster Albert Goldman, of
New York, N. Y., asked last year
that such an examination be held,
but had not pressed the point. It
is believed that he would readily
assent to holding the test, espe
cially as the Clerk list for his
post office is exhausted, although
there is a small Carrier list.

The Clerk-Carrier examination
is one of the most popular in the
Federal service and is for jobs in
the largest U. S. department. What
would prove an incentive to re
cruitment would be the recent pay
raise of $450 a year, which brings
the starting entrance salary t@
$2,550 a year, or $51.60 a week.

Job Rights
Of Draftees
Are Secure

Federal employees who are in«
ducted for military training uo-
der the new draft law are given
the same job reinstatement rights
that were afforded draftees under
the Selective Service Act. Tho
law provides that federal employ-
ees, as well as employees of tho’
District of Columbia, are to be
returned to their old jobs without
loss of seniority on completion of
their training period. Similar re~
instatement rights are giyen
employees in private industry.
