Civil Service Facts

The New York City Civil Service Commission has compiled a
series of questions and answers concerning its procedures, The in-
formation is of the utmost value to all who plan to apply for city
jobs, to candidates, and to eligibles. The first section appeared last

NEEDS MORE
EMPLOYEES—
ACCUSES COUNCIL

(Exclusive)

Markets Commissioner William
Fellowes Morgan, Jr., charges the
City Couneil with being
ble for his inability to incre
the personnel of the department.

Commissioner Morgan reports

ardia that {t. would
sible’? to increase
the personnel of the department
“without any cost to the tax-
payer,” provided some of the bills
before the Council were enacted.

Specifically, he points to legisla~
tion that Would tax all meat
stores $5, This, he says, would
bring in sufficient revenue to take
on additional inspectors needed to
do a “thorough job” on checking
scales,

‘The Council, Commissioner Mor=
gan says, has failed, with few ex-
ceptions, to pass any bills spon-
sored or approved by his depart
ment,

Generally, Mr, Morgan said, he
had in mind the Meat Grading
Bill which was killed for the sec-
ond time this spring; the Bread
Bill which was killed in commit
tee as also was a bill on stoop-
stands, the intention of which was
to remove “these impediments’?
from the city streets,

The Hart Bill, aimed to curb
itinerant peddling, is still in com-
mittee, according to Mr, Morgan,

Continuing, Mr, Morgan says:

“A Dill, which was introduced
in the Council years ago but died
in committee, in my estimation, is
one of the best ways to solve the
itinerant problem as it would li-
cense the stablemen who own,
rent and house the pushcarts and
wagons operated by peddlers. A
clause could be put into this bill
whereby the stable operator
would be put out of business if
he rented vehicles to unlicensed
peddlers.""

Mr, Morgan says he ‘strongly’?
recommends the activities of the
department be extended and says
it would be “quite possible" to in-
crease the personnel of the de-
partment without cost to the tax-
payer provided some of the bills
referred to were enacted,

100 Office Machine
Vacancies to Be Filled

More than 100 vacancies exist
in the operation of five business
machines for which tests have
been ordered by the New York
City Civil Service Commission.

The five machines for which
applications are expected to be
opened in the fall are: I. B, M.,

Remington Rand, Powers key
punch, Burroughs billing and

bookkeeping and the National
Cash Register machine, Salaries
of these jobs are $1,200 to $1,800,

The decision to hold separate
competitive tests for the first four
machines was made after qualify-
ing practicats had failed to pro-
duce sufficient number of quali-
fied eligibles from the general
roster for office appliance opera-
tor, No previous qualifying tests
have ever been held for operators
of the National Cash Register ma-
chine,

89 Remington Rand

A breakdown of the total num-
ber of vacancies now held by pro-
visionals discloses that the Rem-
ington Rand machine leads with
39 openings, ‘There are 28 pro-
visionals now operating the IBM
accounting machine in various
city departments, 23 operating the
Burroughs bookkeeping machine,
17 National Cash Register and
four IBM key punchers,

‘The Commission's survey merely
includes those vacancies which
are now filled by provisionals.
‘There may be others not account-

ed for by this tally because the
jobs are now vacant or unfilled,

When the examination for office
appliance operator was held in
1939, the Commission’s plan was
to establish a general list and
then, by means of qualifying
tests, to select eligibles to operate
the various business machines
used by the city. The Commission
soon learned, however, that very
few of the eligibles had the ex-
perience and skill to operate some
of the more complicated ma-
chines,

After canvassing the entire list
several times, the Commission de-
cided to hold separate competitive
tests for those machines which
had proven too tough for the
Office Appliance Operator eligi-
bles,

No details have been released as
yet by the Commission regarding
the eligibility requirements for
these five new tests. It is prob-
able, however, that some ex-
perience in operating these ma-
chines will be required, ‘There
was no experience requirement in
the 1939 test for Office Appliance
Operator,

Although the dates for receiving
applications have not been set as
yet, they will most likely be
issued by October, as the Com-
mission expects to hold the exam-
inations before the end of the
year

rsons planning to take the
test are advised to begin prepar-
ing immediately. The LEADER
will keep you fully Informed on
progress in this test.

Raises and Promotions
In Comptroller’s Office

Comptroller Joseph D. Me-
Goldvick in an exclusive inter-
view with a LEADER reporter
this week made public statistics
of interest to the 1,400 competi-
tive employees of his office. The
figures are compiled for the pe-
riod from Jan. 1, 1938, when Ite
assumed office, to June 30, 1941,
During this period a total of 658
permanent competitive appoint-
ments were made, 221 promotions
were obtained and 266 salary in-
creases were granted exclusive of
city employees of the mandatory
grades for whom there were a to-

tal of 1,600, The breakdown of
these figures is as follows

In the main office of Comp-
troller McGoldrick, where 700
competitive workers are em-
ployed during the three and a
halt year period, there were
Seventy-one permanent appoint-
ments, ninety-five promotions
and 101 salary increases other
than mandatory,

In the Emergency Revenue Di-
vision of the Comptroller's office
Where about 700 more employees
work during the same period
there were 587 permanent ap-
pointments, 128 promotions and
165 salary increases other than
mandatory.

What the Civil Service
Commission Did Last Week

Among other things, the New
York City Civil Service Commis:
sion at its last meeting O.K.'d a
recommendation to extend from
July 1 to December 31, 1942 the

IMPORTANCE OF
THOROUGH TRAINING

By DR. L. 8. FRIEDMAN
President, Abbe Institute

The current embargo on sill
with its repercussion in the em-
ployment field, the curtailment of
gas and its detrimental effect
upon employment, are two ex-
amples of the insecurity of em-
ployment,

A.month ago, many ofsthose em-
ployed in the silk and gas indus-
tries would have staked their
right arm concerning their job
security, Yet today, they already
are out of work or will be soon.
‘This should bring home to young

people the importance of thorough
training. Too many youngsters
today, getting out of high school
or even out of college, jump at
the first job offered them without
any thought as to what may hap-
Pen next month and surely not
next year,

Does anyone know how the de-
fense of our country will affect
industry? Does anyone know
when the war will end and how
that will affect industry? Those
who are old enough to remember
the last war, distinctly recall the
similar situation which existed at
that time. The young folks went
after the ready money and then,
for years thereafter, were’ with-
out employment at all.

Parents should caution their
children not to repeat this mis-
take, but to train properly and
thoroughly now, i

Facing the Endurance Test

The Men Who Pass It Will Make Courageous Firemen

Paul Jy Kern, president of the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion, predicted today that the
2,500 young men who pass the
physical test for fireman now go-
ing on at Ohio Field will prove to
have the “intelligence, speed and
brawn” to cope with any emer-
gency that may arise in the de-
fense of the city.

The physicals got under way on
Monday, Aug. 11, at the New
York University's Ohio Athletic
Field; 5,000 survivors of the writ-
ten test are competing.

Newsreels,
Girls

Sorry, girls! We had hoped
to have a newsreel showing of
the beauty contest at City
Hall last week. The newsreel
people were there, and took
Joads of pictures, and all plans
had been made to show the
film in the four Embassy
Newsreel theatres.

But alas, at the last minute
the cameraman came around
with a chagrined look on his
face.

The films hadn't come out.

P-T0-DATE
REGULATIONS
FOR DRAFTEES

The New York City Civil Ser-
vice Commission recently ap-
proved a set of amended regula-
tions applying to candidates and
employees who enter the military
forces of the government. The
regulations apply only to residents
of New York City.

The amended set-up is as fol-
lows:

Candidates for any New York City
civil service examination, who enter

vice, must with days of indue-
tion into such or at the

remain upon ‘such special lists for

ment, who enter the military, naval

Endurance Test Will Floor 12%

Paul Brennan estimates that
from 12 to 15 percent of the can-
didates participating in the en-
durance part of the physical
examination will fail, Candidates
are required to run the mile in
7 minutes or better. So far,
Brennan says, similar mile run
tests show that 5 minutes and 5
seconds is the best time shown by
any candidate, One of the local
private schools training men for
the test claims one candidate who
did the mile run in 4:39,

“Since the endurance part of the
competitive physicals has a weight

of 4 in the entire series of events,
it follows that the grades achieved
in this test will be telltale marks
for standing on the resulting elig
ble list,”” This from Paul Bren-
nan, in charge of the physical and
medical bureau of the Civil Ser-
vice Commission.

Mr, Brennan said that candi-
dates completing the mile in 7
minutes or less will have demon-
strated that they undoubtedly pos-
sess the courage necessary to be
good firemen,

Without intending to hand out
any “fatherly” advice, Mr. Bren-

nan nevertheless points out that
candidates anxious to make a good
showing should appear at the test
with the proper type of running
shoes; pace yourself properly by
judicious use of both time and
energy in running each of the ten
laps; carry your arms properly for
the least possible expenditure of
energy which may be employed
more profitably otherwise, and
“Keep Your Head Up.

‘The mile run counts 4; agility 3;
strength 2, and coordination 1 in
computing grades.

Regardless of the order of the
other parts of the physical, the
mile run will be last on the pro-
gram,

Police, Fire Exams
Every Two Years

The Municipal Civil Service Commission points out to police-
man and fireman candidates that its new policy makes examinations
for those departments take place every two years instead of the usual
rule for Civil Service examinations of every four years.

Those who succeed in getting on the lists, therefore, will have
greater opportunity for appointment, because the lists will be smaller,

The Commission also pointed out that age of the applicant is

not an arbitrary consideration in most ciyil service positions.

The

law sets the age limit of 29 for applicants seeking places in the police
and fire departments and in positions where considerably better than
ordinary physical achievement is necessary—such as sanitation man
—age ceilings have been set. It's 35 years in the sanitation job.

Hope for Those Who
Took Center Test

The Municipal Civil Service
Commission holds out hope for
those who took the test for as-
istant director of the abolished
city information center, The rat-
ing is nearly completed, the Com-
mission said, and though the posi-
tion no longer exists, the commis-
sion is attempting to find posi-
tions suitable for those who pass.

SANITATION MEN,
CLERKS CITED
FOR CITY JOBS

The list for sanitation man,
class A, was the most active list
certified by the Municipal Civil
Service Commission for the third
week in a row, Using the process
of selective certification, the
Commission sent names of fifteen
eligibles to the Department of
Correction to fill vacancies as ele-
vator operator at a salary of
$1,200 per year, Lligibles up to
1,235 were certified to the Depart-
ment of Hospitals to fill other ele-
vator operator positions at an an-
nual salary of $960. Highty-cight
names were certified from this
list to the Park Department for
assistant gardener positions at
$5.50 per day, The certifications
were marked ‘‘temporary, not to
exceed three months.” The high-
est number in this batch is num-
ber 1696. Previously, eligibles up
to number 3566 had been certified
to the same department for tem-
porary jobs as attendants at fifty
cents per hour,

Grade 2 Clerks

‘The first certifications from the
clerk, grade 2, list to vacancies as
clerk, grade 2, since memory run-
neth not to the contrary, were
made during the week. Thirteen
eligibles on this list were certi-
fied to fill seven vacancies in the
Municipal Court at $1,200 per
year. Practically all previous
certifications from this list were
made to gtade 1 vacancies.

Accountants

Eight names on the list for ac-
countant, grade 2, were certified
to both the Board of Transporta-
tion and the Board of Estimate
(Bureau of Real Estate) to fill
vacancies in the title of Book-
keeper, Grade 1, at $1,200 per
year. The Transportation certifi-
cations were permanent, the
Board of Estimate, indefinite. A
complete list of all the changes
made during the week on city eli-
gible lists, together with the
highest numbers reached up to
now, are recorded in ‘Your
Chances For Appointment,” on
page 11,

Fireman Candidates,

Sound trivial, but you fellows
who are taking the fireman
exam should read it carefully.

No Tests

For the first time in years, the

York City failed to issue a
monthly series of open-competi-
tive or promotion tests. The only
tests available are not for civil
service jobs, but for positions in
private industry. They are the
licensing tests for skilled work-
ers, which are under the super-
vision ot the Commission, For
the record, The LEADER carries
a list of these licensing tests:

License for Master Rigger.

License for Portable Engineer
(any motive power except steam),

License for Portable Engineer
(any motive power including
steam).

License for Portable Engineer
(steam).

License for Refrigerating Ma-
chine Operator (ten tons capacity
or less).

License for Refrigerating Ma-
chine Operator (unlimited ca-
pacity).

License for Special Rigger.

License for Stationary Engineer,
first grade.

License for Stationary Engineer,
second grade.

License for Stationary Engineer,
third grade.

License for Stationary Fireman,

License for Structural Welder.

Persons interested in taking
these licensing examinations may
obtain applications at the offices
of the Civil Service Commission,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Tuesday, August 12, 1941

State Hospital Attendants Speak Up

Four weeks ago today, The LEADER published a full-column
editorial titled “The Hospital Attendant Mess.” In a general way
we discussed conditions in the Mental Hygiene institutions of the
State, as they had been pointed out to us in communications and
informal discussion. Although we merely referred to specific points
of abuse, we knew that there must be dozens of startling items
about. Where there’s so much smoke, we said to ourselves, there
must be fire.

During the past four weeks we've received a flood of communi-
cations. Below we reprint a representative selection of these letters.
We have carefully concealed the identification of all who have
written except the few who gave us permission to use their names.
These letters are only the beginning. We've already collected docu-
mented proof of many questionable incidents, We hope, though, that
others will take the cue and communicate with us, either by personal
call or mail. Everything will be confidential.

Already The LEADER campaign has had one direct result—
an investigation of alleged discrimination against Negroes at Rock-
Jand State Hospital, Orangeburg, Rockland County. The probe was
brought about by an anonymous letter in which a copy of The
LEADER editorial was enclosed. Conducting the investigation was

Dr. Philip Smith, Chief Medical Inspector of the Mental Hygiene
Department.

Dr. Smith found the following:

1. That no Negroes live in rooms on the ground floor of the
dormitories, which is the choice location because an attendant does
not have to climb steps to get to his room. However, he points out
that rooms on the ground floor are assigned according to seniority,
and since Negro attendants have been employed only since Janu-
ary 1, 1941, none as yet has achieved enough length-of service.

2. That there is no discrimination against Negroes in the mat-
ter of assigning them to separate toilets. There is only one toilet
on each fioor of the dormitories, and all attendants living on the
floor—Negro or white—use it.

3. That the white attendants are no longer entering the lounge
since the Negro attendants began to meet there.

4. That employees in the cafeteria are segregated according
to type of work, that is, special sections of the dining hall are re-
served for nurses, for machinists, for attendants, etc. There is no
segregation according to color, but it is true that many white at-
tendants refuse to eat at tables where Negro attendants are eating.

The problem is bound to be most acut® at Rockland State,
where Negroes account for one-tenth of the 1,500 employee to-
tal.—Editor. *

Tell the

Taxpayers

Si On behalf of the 500 em-
ployees at this hospital, please ac-
cept my thanks for the timely edi-
torial entitled ‘Hospital Attend-
ant Mess." We might further

add that you have just about
tched the surface in your ex-

sion to have | the ‘above editorial
reprinted in our local press so
at the average taxpayer will get
some idea as to what Mental Hy-
giene employees have to contend
with,

Si Wish to thank you for
your recent editorial describing
conditions that State Hespital At-
tendants have to endur
These conditions are not new.
In 1935 a Queens County grand

Creedmoor State Hospital and in
its presentation handed up No-
vember 22, 1935, charged that long
hours and low wages were the
basic evils responsible for im-
proper conditions,

A grand jury in every other
county that had a State hospital
in it could have made the game
recommendation. But after six
years there has been no great
change for the better in working
conditions, Some of the em-
ployees still do not enjoy an
eight-hour day.

giene does not live up to its own
laws. It does not pay four dollars.
a month in addition to the reg-
ular wages for those attendants,
nurses, or supervisors performing
night service (section 61, Mental
Hygiene Law). Or maybe there
is no night in a State hospital!

One thing is certain, The Gov-
ernor, Budget Director, Commis-
sioner of Mental Hygiene, and the
legislators should rectify such
appalling working conditions.

A. P. DRISCOLL,
Chairman, Legislative Com-
mittee Council 323 (Willard
State Hospital).

I may be able to support my fam-
ily in the style human beings are
accustomed to, and once again
regain my self-respect. No, I
haven't forgotten to include com-
mutation, I did not do so because
I wrote and was answered that
there isn’t any to be had. And
there won't be any either, unless
it is made compulsory by law.
Every industry and every
branch of our government depart-
ment is being geared to meet
the trying times to come but
ours, and we are the most under-
paid and overlooked of them all.
Why? Because we have been
taking it lying down. I say there-
fore again, “Attendants wake up
and fight, and above all WRITE
FOR VICTORY.”

Job Not Worth
Fighting For

Sirs: I read your editorial:
“Hospital Attendant Mess,” and
agreed with you heart and soul.
Words, no matter how true and
factual, cannot express the miser-
able conditions under which hos-
pital attendants labor.

many patients with less than a
skeleton force of employees.

All this adds up to only one
thing, The hospital attendants
employed by the Department of
Mental Hygiene are the
paid class of employees
Civil Service. If our legislators
don’t do something about this
mess very soon, all this fine work
that has been started in taking
care of mental patients will de-
teriorate. An investigation at the
earliest possible moment will
avert a lot of trouble later.

MARCY ATFENDANT.

‘Now or Never’

Sirs: I do not agree with the
suggestion of M. P. Schinn that
attendants should return to the
twelve-hour day, irrespective of
salary or conditions. These days,
most of us hope have gone for-
ever.

We should all get together
somehow and blitz the powers
that be into full commutation for
all employees living outside the
hospital grounds, We would then
be able to eat meals according
to our tastes and appetites. The

We are underpaid; we work in
a rotten environment; the food
we get is abominable and our
diets are stupidly planned. De-

slush we get now at the hospital
is detrimental to health and
“good nature.” There should be

no partiality shown (as is now);
that is, if the steward or super-
intendent likes the sound of your
name or your “‘line,’ you get
commutation,

Promotions should be given to
those who merit same, not to
those who can buy them for from
50 to 100 dollars or because the
chief supervisor knew your father
in the old country.

We cannot go out on strike but
we can resign, and rumors are
Tife here that some 60 to 100
mean to do so about September 1
unless conditions are much im.
proved.

Some attendants take care of
over 100 patients all by their lone.
some and very often do double
shifts (16 hours). If that is not
tops for slavery I’m a nut.

Conditions in the State hospitals
have been written about by the
Journal-American, Daily News,
The Chief, and others, but some-
how investigations fizzled out and
nothing was done. We are de-
pending on The LEADER. Re-
member it is now or never.

‘Pretty Rotten’

Sirs: Just a line to congratulate
you on your editorial on the State
Hospital Attendant situation. E:
pecially for exposing the Negro
angle. It’s pretty rotten. Keep
up the good work.

CREEDMOOR ATTENDANT.

Tiffany

Not at Fault

Sirs: I think you're going
about this Hospital Attendant

business in a very sensible way,
placing the blame on the legisla-
ture which controls the purse
strings rather than on the ad-
ministrators, While it is true
that there are certain abuses
within the hospitals, we can prob-
ably find that the cause of most
of them is this lack of sufficient
funds. Dr, Tiffany and his staff
are doing as good a job as pos-
sible under the circumstances.
When the financial ends are
straightened out they will do an
even better job.

spite the fact that we work in
places that are conducive to ill-
ness we get no sick leave. We
have no way of rectifying our
grievances except to depend on
the mercy of our supervisors. It
seems that attendants have no
rights whatsoever. Most of them
live for the day they can get
other employment and bear a
deep resentment against their su-
pervisors and the hospital super-
intendent,

It’s a fact that the Civil Service
Commission has been unable to
supply the demand for most of-
fice machine operators in Wash-
ington and in the field. And some
of the machines are simple to
operate and can be mastered in a
very short time.

Specifically, the Commission
isn't able to supply the demand
for operators of the following ma-
chines in Washington:

Sorting, mimeograph, alphabetic
card punch, under card punch,
multigraph, multilith, tabulating,
and graphotype.

Of course, typists and stenog-

Some department when still an-

FIELD WORKERS
TO BE RATED FOR
EFFICIENCY

Federal employees outside the
District of Columbia who are paid
under the Classification Act are
subject to efficiency rating, un-
der an order of the Civil Service
Commission. The order is expect-
ed to bring upwards of 400,000

additional employees under the
efficiency rating system.

‘The Commission order was
necessary to protect the em-

ployees’ eligibility for pay raises

No More Changes
For Workers
In Institutions

WASHINGTON.—The New Deal
finally has been extended to the
thousands of federa] employees in
the 350 Government institutions,
or to those institutions where the
employees are putting on the
pressure.

The age-old QSL grievence, or
compulsory charges for quarters,
subsistence and Jaundry whether
the employee used the facilities or
not, has been stopped on order of
the President. Now the em-
ployees will pay for only what
they actually use. However, un-
der the guise of ‘‘no funds,” some
of the institutions are still de-
ducting from the employee’s pay-
check.

sion last week announced that

ployment is the custodial service
in the post office at Newton, N. J.
Those wishing to apply for the

Fast Work

‘The first fifteen eligibles on the
promotion list for Tunnel Ser-
geant, New York City Tunnel Au-
thority, willy be appointed this
Saturday, just sixteen days after
the promulgation of the list. Al-
together 25 names have been cer-
tified by the Civil Service Com-

mission to the Tunnel Authority
for the $2,400 per year Sergeant
jobs. The boys about to be pro-
moted are now working as Acting
Sergeants at $1,800.

Good Work

Accolades to Bert Wray, retired
lieutenant of the New York Po-
lice Department. Bert taught a
class of 81 tunnel cops in the cel-
lar of a friend's home for the six
weeks preceding the date of the
test. The result: Nine of the first
ten eligibles, including the first
three on the list, were Bert's stu-
dents. Altogether there are 54
names on the list. Forty of the
successful 54 studied under In-
structor Wray. The 34-year-old
Wray, who was retired on disabil-
ity, has a bright future before
him in the field of police educa-
tion, His answers to the regular
Police Sergeant test have been ap-
pearing in The LEADER,

Incidentally, some of Bert's tun-
nel-cop students think he’s
psychic. He gave them four ques-
tions to answer a few days before
the test. The same four questions
appeared on the examination
paper with a slight change of only
two words . . . He bet Bill Power
a dinner that he'd finish in the
first ten . . , Power finished num-
ber five.

Police Conference
Resolutions

Two important resolutions were
Passed by the Police Conference
at the 16th annual meeting in
Utica during the week. The f
attacked the Mayor’s Conference
for circulating misleading in-
formation about the Babcock-See-
lye pension bills, which were
strongly denounced by the Police
Conference and the second offered

the services and fullest coopera-
tion of the Conference to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Leh-
man in the fight against sub-
versive activities. Copies of the
first resolution were forwarded to
the Mayor's Conference, Governor
Lehman and leaders of the State
legislature. Copies of the second
resolution were forwarded to
President Roosevelt and Governor
Lehman.

‘Tanned, calloused, clear-eyed
and happy, 151 boys between the
ages of 10 and 16 returned late
Saturday to battle life in the big
city for another year after three
weeks at Fox Lair, the P. A. L.
camp at Bakers Mills in the Adir-
ondacks. ‘The third and last
group of needy youngsters to be

terment in St. Charles’ Cemetery,

WHERE ARE THOSE
179 SANITATION

APPOINTMENTS?

Johnny Mandel, newly-elected
president of the Sanitation Eli-
gibles Association, sent a letter to
Budget Director Kenneth Dayton
last week. Politely, but respect-
fully Johnny asked, “how about
the appointments, Butch?" He
was referring to 179 appointments
as junior sanitation men which
were due to come through two
weeks ago.

‘The next meeting of the super-
men will be held Thursday,
August 8, at the usual place, P. 8.
27,"42nd street near Third avenue,
and at the usual time, 8 p. m. Eli-
gibles are urged to remember that
the meeting will not be on tho
usual day, Friday. The change
was made because Friday starts
the big Labor Day week-end. Ar-
rangements are being made to
serve liquid refreshments, (cool-
ing, but non-alcoholic). Vincent
Giery is in charge. If you prefer
root beer to sarsarparilla, let him
know.

Chest Out
President-elect Mandel is walk-
ing around with his chest out
fhese days, Not because he was
ident, but because ho

reman physical test will be
Sanitation eligibles, “Once a
superman, always, a superman,”
says Johnny.

Just in case some of the boys
have softened up a bit and would
want to train for the fireman
physical test, Johnny suggests
that they drop over to head-
quarters, 38 Park Row. Free aid
by experts who passed the
“toughest physical test ever
held.”

Oh yes, Johnny thinks it's a
good idea for the supermen to
bring aluminum pots with them
to their next meeting, The pots,

iT BUREAU OF

Cops, Firemen Ask
Salary Increase

-y HE policemen and firemen of New York State
TI want a salary increase. Meeting last week in Utica
and in Syracuse, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Asso-
and the Uniformed Firemen's Assoc
New York introduced identical resolutions on
izations point out that (1)
the national emergency caused an increase in living
and the prices of ordinary commodities like food
g are going up; (2) a general increase in
has been in process. They argue that there
is no reason why cops and firemen should, in effect, suf-
fer a wage cut—for that’s exactly what mounting prices
ionary wages means.

The argument is incontrovertible. Why should the
Civil Service employee take it on the chin harder than
all others? The uniformed forces are going into a cam-
paign that will have the full support of this newspaper,
and deserves your support, too.

Why Exclude Them?

moticns-with-pay-increases at regular intervals for
federal employees.
The postal men and women, who have been fighting
for necessary salary improvements, aren't included.
Sometimes, we watch the way Congress treats the
postal workers, we can only sit back and scratch our head
unbelievingly.

You’re Wrong,

ney, John J. McNaboe. We would consider it presump-
tuous on our part to state flatly for whom Civil Service

employees are going to vote, but it certainly seems to us
that in their own interest, civil servants would prefer a
man without partisan political ties, a man who attained
his position by merit. That man is Frank S. Hogan.

Naval Civilian Police

a8 HE bill before Congress to provide a Naval Civil-

an Police force should indicate unmistakably that
personnel saust come from Civil Service. We are
not passing upon the merits of the bill as such. We do
say that as it stands at present, the bill gives the Navy
power to select personnel wherever it pleases, and this
is dangerous to the merit system. Particularly so at a
time like the present when the pressure to break down
merit is so terrific,
An excellent list of eligibles who are eminently
suited for just this type of position exists; the Gen-
eral Investigator roster,

Merit Men

“THE PICTURE tells the story’’
might well be the motto of quiet,
soft-spoken John 1. Vesce, vice-
president of the Federation of
Municipal Employees. Here's why
—and the case is an index to John
Vesce’s popularity, Back in 1940,
when the Mayor's budget was up
before the Board of Estimate, one
line in that budget was particularly
irksome to Vesce and hig fellow
Federation officials: that line called
for a pay-reduction of $50 a year to
sewer laborers, Into the packed
Board hearings walked Vesce and
his companions, carrying a motion
picture projector and a reel of film
showing sewer laborers at work. A
screen was hung; the projector
clicked, and the Board of Estimate
members watched, The result of this
brain-child was not only that sewer
laborer salaries weren't cut, but
were actually increased to $1,690—
the only increase in the entire
budget.
Wants Prevailing Rates

As president of the Asphalt Work-

ers for the past three years, Vesce

has been fighting to obtain the pre~
vailing private industry wage for
skilled laborers in the city’s service.
He is chairman of the Federation's
Prevailing Wage Rate Committee
which is working out details with
the Comptroller's office to adjust
salaries of city laborers. ‘The City
of New York has underpaid, and is
underpaying, skilled and semi-
skilled laborers,” Vesce told The
LEADER. ‘For example, asphalt
laborers in the city's employ receive
$6.72 per day, top-shovelers and
smoothers are paid $7.20, tampers
$7.36 and rakers $7.60. The prevail-
ing wage outside the city’s service
for asphalt laborers is $8.96, top-
shovelers and smoothers $0.44,
tampers $9.60 and rakers $10.80."
Vesce is confident that the details
in adjusting these salaries will be
ironed out by November.

An effective, logical speaker,
Vesce and other Federation offi-
cials recently persuaded the Civil
Service Commission to revive a
‘dead”’ eligible list, The foreman
of asphalt workers list was estab-
lished in March, 1938, and killed late
in 1940, when a city-wide list was
established, As president of the
Asphalt Workers, Vesce appeared
before the Civil Service Commission
and induced them to reincarnate
the ‘dead’ register, Sgnce then
three asphalt workers #®o been
promoted to fill foreman vacancies,
Married, the father of a 3%-year
old girl, 34-year-old Vesce is a resi-
dent of downtown New York. He
attended P, S, 95, St. Alphonsus
Parochial School and St, Francis
Xavier High Sehool, He is active
jn neighborhood civie and political
organizations, His one relaxation
is bowling, in which he frequently
betters 200. His hobby is his union.
Asked about current plans to pay
per diem skilled laborers on a per
annum basis, he said that he is for
per annum Salaries, provided they
guarantee prevailing rates of pay
for per diem employees. In_ his
words... “Attempts to put skilled
laborers on a per annum basis is
often a subterfuge to circumvent
the prevailing wage rate."”

ers has been quietly fired for sell-
ing defense jobs... The War De-
partment is placing barriers in
the way of Americans going to
work on West Indies bases, who
want ,their .passports ... More
than 30,000 different occupations
are listed in the United States .
Here's how one of big aviation

companies discriminates accord-
ing to race in filling defense jobs:
Under a code, class I means mem
from a certain area with a certain
background, class II refers to
men of different descent, etc... +
Add useless information: more
defense jobs begin with than
with any other letter ....+++ +++

Much been said about the

defense preparations of the Police
and Fire Departments, but how
many know that William Fel-
lowes Morgan, Jr., Markets Com-
missioner, has been appointed
Defense Coordinator of Food
Distribution?

In line with his defense program
appointment, Commissioner Mor-
gan first recommends that the
Policy of improving the amount
and quality of food consumed in

the metropolitan area be intensi-
fied.

Working on Nutrition

Experts in the field of nutrition
and food distribution are working
daily on a defense program in
case of an emergency.

Food distribution, according to
Commissioner Morgan, should be
planned well in advance of any
emergency,

“Where would England be today
had undernourished bodies result
ed in the breakdown of morale
asks Mr, Morgan.

“It is reported,” he says, “that
43,000,000 men and women and
children in this country are under-
nourished.” ‘This,’ he says,
“seems to be confirmed by the

large percentage of rejections in
the draft.”

Extinguishers and “Housewatch’”

Meanwhile, enrollees in the
emergency corps of the fire de-
it will have as their les-

is week the subjects of fire
extinguishers and ‘“housewatch'?
duty.

Officers in the various fire
houses have been instructed to
familiarize volunteers with these

subjects on both Tuesday and
‘Thursday classes,

Specifically, orders to instruct-
ing officers are:

Lesson No. 5 — Subject: Fire
Extinguishers,

and C—depending upon character-
istics needed in extinguishing

Without going deeply into chemis-
try, merely state the contents of
each type, their action upon the
fire and the precautions to be fol-
lowed in their use.

“Method; Place samples of vari-
ous types of extinguishers on ap-

aries to examine, but not to oper-
ate, them. After a complete ex-
planation of each type, designate
a member of the Department to

then be performed step by step.

Milk Law Unconstitutional

But Controversy Over Commission Continues

Bolstered by an opinion from
Attorney General Bennett that a
law blanketing-in 20 employees in
the Milk Publicity Bureau without
examination is unconstitutional,
the State Civil Service Commis-
sion continues to mark papers
submitted in tests for these jobs.
The present employees, now serv-
ing as provisionals, will probably
be replaced by eligibles from the
new lists to be establi

A total of 180 candidates com-
peted in the three tests for these
jobs, held in March: Milk Promo-
tion Agent, 87; Milk Promotion
Assistant, 64; Milk Promotion Su-
pervisor, 29.

is

Bennett's opinion cited many
cases where the courts have
termed blanketing-in unconstitu-
tional, and also mentioned that
when Governor Lehman signed
the bill he too attacked the pro-
vision.

‘Whether this will end the con-
troversy between the State Com.
mission and Assemblyman Fred
S. Hollowell, Yates Republican,
who sponsored the legislation, is
questionable. _Hollowell has
charged that three of the present
employees, who were admitted
into the tests after having first
been refused, will not be rated
fairly, Miss Grace A. Reavy,
president of the commission, has
countered that papers are rated

a if
State, the local officials are be-

ing urged to place their county
administration under the Stato
Commission. The Fite-Bechtold
Law permits each county to select
by July 1, 1942, from among thesa
three forms of Civil Service
county commission, personnel of-
ficer, control by the State Com-
mission.

An eight-page pamphlet, widely
circulated through the State by
the Civil Service Reform Asso-
ciation, has this to say on each
of the plans:

Control by the State Commi
sion is most practical and eco-
nomical, It has been satisfactory
for all counties previously under
Civil Service, and is used for
county welfare departments and
for policemen in towns and yil-
lages. It will enable the State to
establish a uniform Civil Serv
administration,

The county personnel officer
plan, now in operation in West-
chester, is second best.

As for county commissions

without markers knowing the
candidates’ names.

Hollowell has already had this

to say on Bennett's opinion:
* “Such an opinion is only ad-
visory. My experience has shown
me departments sometimes follow
an opinion when it suits their
wishes and often disregard that
opinion if it does not. An opinion
of the attorney general and any
action based upon it will not be
the end of the matter as far as I
am concerned, It may be but the
beginning.””

His final remarks are refer-
ences to threats he has been mak-
ing about a legislative investiga-
tion of the State Civil Service
Commission after the opening of
the 1942 State Legislature.

The LEADER attempts to an-

distinct ways, First, the staff of
The LEADER has just prepared
a 72-page printed study manual
that will guide the candidate.
This book covers in concise form
the material expected on the test.
Here are the chapter heads:

The Vehicle and Traffic Law

ficial answers); Duties of an Ex-

In addition The LEADER has
made arrangements with the

Bureau of Motor Vehicles for a
supply of two valuable free pub-
lications of the Bureau. First is
the complete Vehicle and ‘Traffic

Future
State Tests

The State law says that titles
of open competitive lists requested
by departments and institutions
must be publicly announced for 15
days before the State Civil Sery-
ice Commission takes action,
During this period employees who
believe there is a field for promo-
tion to the title are urged to com-
municate with the State Commis.
sion, The following titles are
now being advertised (the date
denotes when the fifteen days are
up):

August 13 — Onondaga County
Children's Court — Probation Of-
ficer,

August 16 — Transit Commission
~Motor Vehicle License Inspector.

August 20— Health Department

“Plan No. 3 is of doubtful value
and practicality. It will prove ex-
pensive and unworkable—just as
has proved to be the case in most
of the small cities of the Stata
where Civil Service administra
tion under local commissions is
weak and sometimes worthless.

“Tt will cost many thousands of
dollars to establish any worth
while Civil Service commission
for your county. (Civil Service ex:
perts hold that it costs 1 per cent
of the total payroll for a sound
merit system),

“Why go to such expense when
two better systems already proven
successful are available?’

The pamphlet issued by tha
State Commission itself, which
soberly answers questions on tha
extension, discusses relative costs
of the forms of administration.
Under the county commission
form, the cost is $5-$10 an em-
ployee, and §3-$5 under the per-
sonnel officer plan, There is no
direct cost to the county should

Success Story

The Reliable Welding School in
Brooklyn, although comparatively
@ new institution, has gone for-
ward with such leaps and bounds
that today the extent of the
courses and its ever increasing
student body have compelled the
school to enlarge its quarters
considerably. We take this op-
portunity to extend our congratu-
lations and wishes for continued
success in the future to the school
and its entire staff,

Want A Job?

‘There is nothing to take the
place of sound training. Agencies,

Aviation for the
General Public

The East Coast Flying School,

By BILL BENNETT

a pioneering organization, began
its operations over ten years ago,
at a little field adjacent to the
then future Floyd Bennett Field.
At the inception of Floyd Bennett
Field, the school moved over and
continued operatios there for the
remainder of that field’s civilian
history which terminated when
the navy took over, as a result of
the National Emergency.

After a period of trials and
tribulations that only aviation
pioneers meet with, the newly-
born Queens County Airport is
gradually shaping itself into a full
fledged government approved fly-
ing field, with East Coast Flying
School again bringing aviation to
the general public,

Saks Fur Apologizes

The Saks Fur Company, 143
West 29th Street, manufacturers
of fine furs for over 20 years,
wish to apologize to the hundreds
of persons who have not yet re-
ceived, “How to Select and Care
for Furs,’ a booklet on the proper
care of furs, Mr. Arthur Saks
said, “When we issued the first
printing, we thought we were very
optimistic, but, from the tremen-
dous response, we underestimated
the number of wmoen who want
to know more about the care of
the furs they wear,"” The second
printing of “How to Select and
Care for Furs," will be off the
press during the latter part of the
week, Every earnest attempt will
be made to get this valuable
booklet to our readers as soon as
possible.

We can't remind you too often
about that super bargain—your
car washed for only 49 cents at

the Davis Auto Laundry—Drive
in today.

And now... Oh! well, it's too
hot anyhow so we'll just say so
long until next week. Until then,
write to your pal Bill Bennett,

STAR LAKE CAMP, St. Law-

cationing We Will Go,” that is
the chant of the American pop-
ulace, Being one of Uncle Sam's
Army of Travelers, I have mo-
tored to this camp for some rest
and recreation. To us this is an
ideal spot; just a nice free-and-
easy sort of a place for a vaca-
tion, and the food is good, palat-
able and plentiful. Star Lake
Camp is located in the Adiron-
dack Woodlands, along the shores
of beautiful Star Lake, 1,800 feet
above sea level. Here you will
find your favorite sports, includ-
ing fishing and exploring, and
congenial companions from many
states.

After listening to storles from
resort owners and travel agents,
it seems almost certain at thi
time that the summer vacation
season that has its traditional
ending on Labor Day, will be ex-
tended far into the fall For in-
stance, railroads report that pas-
senger business is up ten to
thirty-five per cent, with most of
the Western lines showing an in-
crease of twenty per cent.

Resort News

By Joseph Burstin, Resort Editor

Triple Lake Ranch

Anne Barash, director of Triple
Lake Ranch of Succasunna, near
Dover, N. J., emphasizes the gen-
erally recognized principle that
one of the most effective ways of
making friends is to go in for a
popular hobby, “Of course,” she
adds, ‘none are more adv:
tageous than riding horses.” This
most pleasurable and beneficial
sport affords a splendid means of
meeting the grand crowd which
makes riding its favored hobby.
For this purpose the Dude Ranch
provides a perfect setting.

In Mexico

The Mexican Tourist Associa-
tion maintains that this 1s Mex-
{co's peak tourist year. Its
survey showed that already close
to 200,000 persons have come to
Mexico from the United States in
1941, It is estimated that the 1941
travelers to Mexico will spend
$60,000,000 and, incidentally, profit
handsomely by the favorable rate
of exchange. Although Mexican
resort and hotel men anticipated
the vast increase by enlarging all
facilities, the summer crowds
have taxed them to capacity, and
bookings for fall and winter
travel are keeping the hotel men
busy with new extensions of their
accommodations.

At Lido

Frank Seiden's Lido Beach Club
on Long Island has signed Jose
Morand for the remainder of t
season to supply his Latin dance
rhythms each night in the Ter-
race Room of the Little Club.

Hedi Stenuf, star of “It Hap-
pens On Ice," has been making
regular trips to Bear Mountain to
captain the softball team of that

of Copake Country Club, Crary-
ville, N, Y., as “Civil Service

and federal governments are
making the resort their favorite
spot for week-ends and longer.

Brogrene of the List

Here’s the latest on the prog-
ress of the current Hospital At-
ter nt list:

For zone 4 jobs outside the New
| York City area, certifications
| have reached to 14,816 among the

men and to 14,829 among the
women. Appointments have gone
to 14,816 for the men and to
14,747 for the women.

For jobs within the five

boroughs, latest certifications are
12,926 for the men and 3,955 for
the women, while appointments
have reached to 10,689 and 3,610,

A total of 328 permanent and 42

provisional appointments have
been made in zone 1. The last
man appointed was 14,824, the
last woman 10,197.

A Good Example

Up in Dutchess County, where
Hudson River State Hospital is
located, the Red Cross is looking
for 150 blood donors. A Pough-
keepsie newspaper editorially has
this to say: ‘The example of a
group of men from the Hudson

River State Hospital, who made
tin earlier this year to and
from New York City in order to
serve as blood donors, should
serve as a demonstration of
generosity and public spirit to
others who may be thinking of
stepping forward now at the call
of the Red Cross.”*

15 Trooper Jobs

Soon Available

At least fifteen appointments
will be available to eligibles on
the new state trooper list, which
is expected shortly after Labor
Day. It is understood that that
number of provisional jobs have
been filled since the previous list
went out of existence last April.
The provisionals have all taken
the new exam, and will be ap-
pointed if they come out on top.
The Division of State Police
makes it a practice of appoint-
ing in direct numerical order.

The delay in establishing the
trooper list has been brought
about by the medical exams being
given to those who competed but
have since been called into the
army. The selectees are being
examined when on furlough,

Parade

At Saratoga

Those of you who have already
been up to Saratoga have prob-
ably found out that the one thing
least affected by the rain are the
casinos, and that they're operat-
ing wide open. Judging by the
recent crowds, this is the best
season the famous Spa has had in
many a year.

The Arrowhead and Piping
Rock are the top spots. Monte
Proser and Julie Podell have set
their Copacabana Revue in the
latter with Emil Coleman's
dancecopation for the accompani-
ment. At the Arrowhead, Hilde-
garde is going over big with the
crowd, Georges and Jaina display
their classic dancing ability and
Ted Straeter lays dance music
right on the proper line. At the
Bali it’s Earl Lindsay's sixteen-
girl Revue plus Jack Sherr's
music,

At Palisades

Over at the popular Palisade
Park, Al Kavelin and his band
are doing a return engagement,
by popular demand, providing the
dance music for the free outdoor
show and dancing. Al's musical
outfit features Vivian Blaine in
some swell vocalizing. Henry
Day's band makes it a double
ork fq added pleasure. The
week's thrill sensation of the free
outdoor show features the daring
Benny and Betty Fox of Wo’ ie
Fair fame. They do an am
jitterbug dance on top @f a 125
foot pole, Working on a platform
only eighteen inches square, they
handle their dangerous routine as
nonchalantly as if they were in
the middle of a ballroom floor.
Be sure and take a trip over to
the park one of these hot eve-
nings and cool off enjoying the
numerous thrills and pleasures
the park has to offer. Incidently,
as a special courtesy to Greater
New York's Civil Service work-
ers, who get hot like everyone
else, Palisades Park is keeping
its salt water pool open till 10
pm, This gives you plenty of
time to get over, take a cool dip
and then enjoy the rest of the
top-notch entertainment available.

State Clerk, Steno Tests

Here’s Latest Information About Them

A last-minute change in plans
on the part of the State Civil
Service Commi last week
widely increased opportunities for
untrained but conscientious young
men and women in the State
when it was revealed that tests
for junior and assistant clerk, ju-
nior and assistant stenographer,
and junior and assistant typist
would probably be held on the
same day in October.

Filing is scheduled to open
‘Tuesday, September 2, and some
officials have mentioned Satur-

sion

day, October 4, as the actual date
of the tests. However, this latter
Seems unlikely since it allows
only four and a half weeks be-
tween the opening of filing and
the test, whereas six weeks is
normal. Don't be too surprised
it the tests are held on a Satur-
day later on in October.

When applications are ready,
they will probably be available at
the Bureau of Motor Vehicles on
the first floor of the State Office
Building, 80 Centre street, New
York City. Mail applications will
be obtained at the Examinations

Division, State Department of
Civil Service, Albany.

According to present plans, ap-
plicants will be eligible, if quall-
fied, to take any or all of the six
tests. The written part for all
will be more or less the same:
one examination will be given,
with candidates for each of the
six tests required to answer cer-
tain portions, If a candidate
takes all six parts, he or she will
be in the examination room for a
maximum of three hours,

This written test will constitute
the entire examination for junior
and assistant clerk. However,
those taking the steno and typist
tests also will be called in later
on for the practical exams if they
pass the clerical written.

No age limits are to be set for
these tests, but there will prob-
ably be some tightening up on
the requirements for the same
tests four years ago. Although
the requirements are as yet un-
known, probably the best indica-
tion of what they are to be can
be gathered from the junior
stenograhper and junior typist
tests given in July for West-
chester County,

Junior Stenographer.—Wither (a)
graduation from senior high
school, including or supplemented
by a course in stenography; or
(b) graduation from junior high
school and a course in stenog-

raphy, and two years’ steno-
graphic experience; or (c) an
equivalent combination.

Junior Typist.—Either (a) grad-
uation from senior high school,
including or supplemented by a
course in typing; or (b) gradua-
tion from junior high school and
a course in typing, and two years’
general office experience, includ-
ing typing; or (c) an equivalent
combination.

The Junior Clerk test will prob-
ably have requirements equivalent
to those for stenos and typists.

Entrance salary for the junior
grade in the State service is $900,
for the assistant grade, $1,200.
The lists to be established from
these tests will fill thousands of
jobs over the four-year period
starting in the fall of 1942, when
the current lists expire, In addi-
tion, the lists may be used for
federal jobs and for jobs in the
localities throughout the state
when they are brought under
Civil Service via the Fite Act.

"7 REALE TAT A FUR COLT IS NEVER SOLD
UNTIL THE WHOLE FAMILY PASSES OV IT”

Her moment of triumph . . . displaying her new I. J. Fox fur coat before the family!

The family is the backbone

of the nation. The budget is”

the backbone of the family. A fur coat is the backbone of
every girl’s wardrobe. And we realize that a fur coat is
never sold until the family passes on it.

The family is your severest critic. They criticize everything
you do, everything you wear, everything you buy. And

generally the family is right!

They're quick to appraise and quick to praise. And they
have an eagle eye for value. They love our fur coats, and

we delight in pleasing them! All our efforts and achi
ments in furs have been dominated by the desire to sa

them. And our fur activities cover the world.

Our furs are gathered from the four corners of the earth.
‘From hundreds of hamlets and trading posts. From Tibet

and Tanuki. From Bessarabia

and Brazil. From Somaliland

and Saratoy. From Canada and the Congo. From Alaska and
Astrakan. These are only some of the sources of our furs,
