30 next, anyway, President John
E, Carton made a surprise move
at the last meeting of the PBA.
He had a resolution introduced
which would amend the constitu-

delegates to hold an election of
officers, They would do the voting
themselves, instead of the 18,000
members as provided by the pres-
ent constitution and bylaws.
Question of Two-Year Term
Opponents of President Car-
ton’s policies asserted that the
move was intended to render the
outcome of the court case academ-
ic and also to circumvent the il-
legality of the two-year term as
applying to Mr. Carton and his
fellow-officers.
The suit contesting the manner

Carton again last June. Mr. Don-

of 27 William Street, who im-
mediately got busy, on hearing of
President Carton’s latest move, on
legal steps in a suit to enjoin

“WHAT EMPLOYEES
SHOULD KNOW
it mea erated
Analyzing Your Work Routine
By THEODORE BECKER
Mo" public employees, ab-
sorbed in their day-to-day
operations, have little time to sit
back and critically analyze the
procedures which they follow. The
busier they are. the fewer the
opportunities for this type of
evaluation, Yet, often, theirs is
an
But how many of us performing
our activities in the time-honored
way are aware of the need for
change? How many would willing-
ly accept the change? Customary
procedures are similar to habits,
and after a while following these
procedures becomes “second na-
ture.” Although the processes may
be time consuming and unproduct-
ive, we cling to them faithfully
because a change may disrupt the
usual routine, That’s why it would
be difficult for us objectively to
take stock of administrative steps
involved in moving the traditional
paper through the office. And if
we took time to stop and consider,
we would realize that most of our
work consists of just that — re-
ceiving, acting upon and sending
along a piece of paper or a group
of papers.
Since operational employees may
be too valuable or too unsuited
to review the administrative pro-
cedures for the purpose of cutting
down the time consumed in pro-
cessing “the paper,” persons
trained to perform this task may
be called in. Whether they be
designated as examiners of meth-
ods and procedures or procedure
analysts, or whether they are su-
pervisors given a special training
course, they will try to devise
ways of reducing time consumed
in processing consistent with the
purpose of the work,
1s This Paper's Trip Necessary?
The analyst may observe the
movement of the paper through
the office, noting the time taken
in its process at the various way
stations. He may note the time
taken in transit from one point
to the next, the time that elapses
before the recipient of the paper
can reach it through his backlog.
He may identify the periods when
there are peak loads and when
there is slackening of work,
In deciding whether or not the
motion is “lost” motion, the analyst
takes into account the extent to
which specialization is desirable
and a possble mistake costly. For
example, would the time lost in
having Typist A type one side of
a form and Typist B type the
other side (there being delays in
transferring the paper from one
desk to the other and delays in
waiting until the second typist
got around to the form) be out-
weighed by the fact that each
typist would become an “expert”
on “her” side of the form and,
therefore, do her typing with
fewer errors? Or would the delays
outweigh the mistakes and the
slower typing that might result
if one typist typed both sides of
the form and did not become a
“specialist? on one side of the
form only.
These decisions can often be
made on the basis of observation,
and the relative merits of the
alternate courses of action dem-
onstrated objectively. This may
require the use of scientific meth-
ods, mcluding timing devices and
controlled experiments. The co-
operation of employees is essential
if results are to be meaningful
and if recommended changes are
to _be valuable.
Work Simplification Program
Agencies which do not have a
staff devoted to following “paper
trails” through the office may be
able to set up a work simplifica-
tion program by training their
first-line supervisors in the tech-
niques of reducing red tape. This
would not affect the technical
work involved in acting on a
paper. Rather it would be de-
signed to obtain better distribution
of work, its more orderly sequence
and a reduction in its volume.
This is not a new enterprise.
One such program will be dis-
cussed in our next column.

The Public
Employee
By Dr. Frank L, Tolman
President. The Civil Service Employees
Association, Inc,, and Member of Em-
ployees’ Merit Award Board.
Paying DeMarco Adjustments
VERY satisfactory progress is being made in setting up
the procedure for paying employees who were reallocated as
a result of the Salary Survey of the Salary Standardization
Board as of April 1, 1947.
The employees are chiefly: interested in two questions—
(1) When do we get this retroactive pay and (2) How much
do we get?
To take up the last point first, the Court held that the
employee went to the same year of service in the grade to
which he was allocated as he held in the grade from which
he was reallocated, and was entitled to the salary for that
same year of service in the next higher grade.
Slide Rule Operation
If you examine the salary tables in the Civil Service
Law or in the last Salary Board report, you will see that a
certain slide rule gives the proper’ result. You simply slide
straight down the salary table from the salary for your
former grade to the salary indicated by your new grade,
keeping the same year of service for both grades, You are
entitled to the salary of the higher grade thus determined
and the State owes you for the difference between that
amount and what you have already been paid.
The above applies to the fiscal year 1947-8. You are
also presumably entitled to one increment adjustment for
1948-9 and another for 1949-50.
If you are sufficiently confused by the above, 1 refer
you to the clear statement of Counsel Schechter of the Civil
Service Department available from your Chapter President
or from this office. [The statement is printed in this issue
of The LEADER.]
Approximately, you may expect to receive a 1947 ad-
justment roughly equal to the financial spacing between
your old and your new grade. For a single grade upward
allocation thus varies from $100 in the lower grades to $500
in the higher grades. Where the new grade is two, three,
four or five grades higher than the old, the adjustment will
be two, three, four or five times as large plus additional small
amounts where the annual increments or the grade spacing
increase in the higher grades. To this should be added in
most cases two annual increments ‘unles place you
above the maximum of your new grade, I further assume you
are entitled to the bonus on the adjustments you receive,
When Will I Be Paid?
The Civil Service Commission has on April 5 started
the procedure for payment. The Commission sent out on
that date information to the various departments and in-
stitutions about the special payrolls to be prepared and the
method of calculating the amounts due DeMarco claimants.
The Civil Service Commission set the date of May 16
for beginning the processing of such claims. The payroll
and consequently the che: will cover everything due to date,
To expedite payment, employees who have not changed
employment since 1947 will be handled first. Payment of
employees who must be certified by more than one depart-
ment will take a little more time. Employees entitled to
an adjustment but who have resigned are entitled to the
extra pay. Department finance officers have been instructed
to include such former employees.
There is every indication that all departments will do
everything possible to expedite these DeMarco salary
adjustments,
You may have noticed that the persons who will have
to do the work of preparing the payrolls, etc. are also in
considerable number among the persons who will get the
checks, They will have a special interest in getting the
work done promptly.
Each member of the Association has had a real part
in the DeMarco case victory. A goodly number of civil
service employees do not yet belong to “The Association,”
They too gain by this and every other benefit and in the
greater prestige won by public employees through their
Association.
If you are not a member, do you not think you owe
it to yourself and to all other public workers to join the
Association? If you are a member, will you not interest
someone else in membership?

HowDeMarco
Claims Must
Be Submitted
Employees who feel they're en-
titled to adjusted compensation
under the DeMarco decision need
not submit their own claims.
Claims are submitted by Finance
Officers of the departments. How-
ever, employees should of course,
be careful that their interests are
fully protected, and thisu should
not hesitate to bring their claims
to the attention of their depart-
mental Finance or Payroll officials.
This is particularly true of em-
ployees who may have transferred
one department to another, and
of employees who may be entitled
to additional compensation but
no longer work for the State.
Below is a digest of a memor-
andum prepared by Charles L,
Campbell, administrative director
of the Civil Service Commission, !
for the benefit of Payroll Officers.
The information in it is of inter-
est. to employees generally. Mr,
Campbell's data follows:
DeMarco claims will be accept-
ed by the Civil Service Depart-
ment beginning on May 16th,
Two Groups
DeMarco claims should be sub-
mitted by each department in two
general groups
Group A—Claims for employees
who have ed in the same
department since April 1,
1947,
Group B—Claims for employees
who have served in more than
one State department since
April 1, 1947.
All claims for Group A employ-
ees should be submitted before
claims for Group B employees,
Show Every Title
DeMarco claims should show
every title and base salary, under
which the employee served and) s;
was paid, from April 1, 1947 to
date. These will include titles and
adjusted salaries under the De-
Marco decision; and, also, titles
and salaries where there was no
salary adjustment resulting from
the decision. There will be cases
where an employee will receive
an adjustment as of April 1, 1947,
whose salary upon subsequent
promotion or appointment would
not be affected.
Change in salary, resulting
from the accrual of annual incre-
ment on April 1, 1948 and April
1, 1949 should be shown,
Titles and salaries should be
shown in the sequence in which
the employee served in them,
from April 1, 1947 to date,
‘The DeMarco claims are to be
submitted as a complete history
of the titles and salaries in which
the employee served in them and
was paid, from April 1, 1947 to
date. In this way, the Department
of Civil Service can recertify the
employee's service for the entire!
period,
The item number of only the
last, or current item, should be
shown. This should be placed op-
posite the employee's last, or cur-
rent title.

Group B Employees
Wich respect to Group B em-
ployees, each department is re-!
sponsible for submitting a claim
for the service rendered by De-
Marco employees in that depart-
men only, -
For example: A DeMarco em-
ployee has worked in Department
A from April 1, 1947 to October
31, 1947; in Department B from
November 1, 1947 to June 30,
1948; and in Department C from
July 1, 1948 to date. Department
A should submit a claim covering
his service during April 1, 1947
to October 31, 1947, In like man-
ner, Department B and Depart-
ment C should submit claims cov-
ering the services for ‘heir respec-| Marco services for any employees
tive departments, if the DeMarco
adjustment of salary in Depart-
ment A affected the salary of the
service in their departments,

Service 1, Grade 2aa, to G1, which salary falls in between
rd and fourth year salary steps of G1. By virtue of the
ive reallocation of his position to G2, he is entitled as of
pril 1, 1947, to have his salary of $1880 increased by $120 (i. e.,
2000) in view of the fact that Laboratory Caretakers whose sal-
re on the third year “salary step” of G1 are entitled to an
$120 to bring their salaries to the fourth year salary

An Undermanned
Fire Department
{ff} LEADER has during the past two months pointed
out the weaknesses resulting from undermanning: in
the New York City Fire Department, A ‘
In part, these editorials have—in effect—been written
for us by the data compiled by officials of the Fire Depart-
ment itself, completely buttressing the stand taken by this
newspaper. Now we'd like to quote from a bulletin of the
yespected National Board of Fire Underwriters, concerned
with a situation that seems to apply peculiarly well to
New York City. " "
“Many times chief officers haye to send in multiple
alarms for a fire in order to get more men which would not
have been necessary if the companies had been properly
manned. When this happens their apparatus is at the fire
frequently not being used, and these additional companies
are not available to furnish protection in case of another
fire, thus perhaps causing delays of the remaining com-
panies in responding to and extinguishing the second fire.
Unfortunately, some cities, after reducing working hour:
have been unable, financially or otherwise, to provide suffic-
ient men to maintain all companies in service,
“Obvious when the working hours of the firemen
are reduced it takes more men to maintain the same number
on duty. This applies to company and chief officers as well
as to privates. In addition to regular time off, members are
allowed usually from two weeks to a month for vacation,
and they off at other times due to special details, sick-
ness and injury. Frequently, no substitutes are provided
for men off for these reasons; therefore, the companies
operate at times, with two or more men less than their
normal complement. Company strength is frequently equal-
ized by transferring men from one company to another
but this of course, does not change the strength of the de-
partment as a whole.
“In order to keep the normal complement in companies
on duty at all times, additional men and officers should be
provided, the number necessary depending upon the number
of companies and the working hours in effect.”
In its campaign for a larger quota and for promotions
in the Fire Department, The LEADER is working with
facls and figures, without regard to personalities. This
newspaper feels that Fire Commissioner Frank J. Quayle
is honestly trying to do a good job; but the kind of stai
ment he made last week in his talk before the Captai:
Association aren't helping him. As we see the facts and
ures, « larger quota is inevitable. If the Commissioner
hes to combat the objective data which we have pre
sented, we shall be happy to gre him space in this paper.
Let him, if he wishes, make his ease for a smaller Fire
Department publicly. 1V’s our opinion that, although he may
be badly advised, he would prefer, like us, to see the finest,
most effective Fire Department in the world. We feel he is
caught up in budgetary fol-de-rol not of his own making,
But his primary job is the same as that of his men—work-
ing and fighting for the kind of department the City needs
in 1949 and in coming years.
Governor Vetoes
‘Covering-in’ Bill
OVERNOR Dewey last week vetoed a bill which would
have granted permanent civil service status, without
any qualifying examinations, to 54 employees of the Division
of Veteran A e
The bill was palpably unconstitutional, and could not
have withstood attack in the courts if it had been signed,
But the endeavor to “cover in” temporary employees
in this manner, to evade the whole principle of merit and
fitness in public service—has other aspects than unconstitu-
tionality, If it had been able to “get by” in this case, it
would have provided a precedent for undermining civil ser-
vice in other es. Such attempts occur frequently.
The Governor acted wisely in vetoing this measure,

made him an important, political
figure in his own borough.
A little item in ‘The New York
World-Telegram one day reported
that Stark might like to be Brook-
lyn Borough President. Since that
day, little Abe Stark has been in
trouble with Kings Democratic
boss and present Borough Presi-
dent John Cashmore,
When O'Dwyer first appointed
his old-time friend to the Com-
merce post, there was deep jubila-
tion in Abe Stark’s heart. It
proved not only that the Mayor
wore suits bearing Abe’s labels,
but that he had real confidence
in Abe's ability to do a job. Abe
went at it with a will. He had
to prove himself the biggest man
ever to perform the job of Com-
merce Commissioner in NYC,
While drawing no salary, Abe must,
have spent better than $10,000 of
his own money in building the de-
partment and furthering its proj-
ects, It was not uncommon for
him to pick up the tab at an
official dinner of 50 people, He
was the first Commissioner to see
the department as a truly im~
portant adjunct to City govern-
ment, and he began organizing
it to get important things done.
What He Accomplished
He organized a special com-
mittee on promotion and indus-
trial development. He provided
1,000,000 information guides tell-
ing about the City. He came to
the assistance of tuck owners,
when their operations might have
been crippled in meeting a minor
ordinance about the size of owners’
names on trucks. Working with
the Comptroller's office, he re-
lieved the marine carpentry in-
dustry of an onerous sales tax
which was sending ships to other
orts to have their decks fitted
‘or cargo. He went to bat with
the Interstate Commerce Com-
mission, trying to forestall per-
ion given to railroads on the
Jersey side to impose new charges
on the produce industry. He
fought to checkmate a 50% in-
crease in millinery shipment rates.
He launched a formidable battle
to prevent the Long Island Rail-
road from curtailing its truck
delivery service, He scheduled
meetings with all the businesses
and industries of the city, listened
to their problems, undertook proj-
ects to help them. Before his res-
ignation, he had begun a rounded
program’ to bring more visitors
and more business to the City, and
had started to line up the entire
City government behind the proj-
ect. He urged the N. Y, City de-
partment heads to “sell New York
to itself.” He proposed a 2-reel
documentary movie on the com-
mercial, industrial and tranait,
facilities of the City, and the
plan called for making this film
available throughout the nation
via the facilities of the State
Commerce Department. He
stepped up publication of a bulle-
tin listing semi-weekly invitations
to bid from Federal, State and
local agencies. And he sought to
publish a bulletin of NYC infor-
mation of especial interest to
boards of trade, chambers of com-
Dewey Signs Bill
For County Transfers
ALBANY, April 18— Governor
Dewey has signed a bill permit-
ting municipal employees to be
transferred within @ county with-
out loss of civil service classifica-
tion,
“Officers and employees trans-
ferred pursuant to this para-
graph,” the bill provides, “shall
be transferred without further
examination or qualification and
shall retain their respective civil
service classification and status
provided that, in determining the
officers and employ to be
transferred, such officers and em-
ployees shall be selected within
each grade of each class of posi-
tions in the order of their origi-
nal appointment. Officers and em-
ployees who, at the time of trans-
fer, have a temporary provisional
appointment shall be transferred,
subject to the same rights of re-
moval, examination, or termina-
tion of employment as though
such transfer had not been:
made,"

reau after about 35 years’ service,

merce and the business world,
Learned to Respect Him
When he first entered the job,
he realized that the department's
big-name advisory committee
might look down upon him as a
small-time would-be politician.
Yet today these big names—men
like David Sarnoff, John Coleman,
Nathan Ohbrbach, Bernard Gim-
bel, Emmett McCormick — have
learned to like him, to respect his
acumen and the breadth of vision
he brought to the department.
They're disappointed at the resig-
nation. Disappointed, too, are such
influential old-time friends of
Stark as Oscar Bernstein, the
Mayor's ‘former law partner, and
Paul O'Dwyer, brother of the
Mayor.
Small Budget—Big Results
The entire budget of the Com-
merce Department is approxim-
ately $65,000—for the largest city
in the world. Stark, seeing pos-
sibilities of doing big things for

News reports that two appoint-

Transfers—Allowable Service
Credit

nor,
Increase Pensions—Retired
Employees
This bill would amend Article 7,
Subdivision 8 of the State Consti-
tution to permit an increase in
the retirement allowance of re-
tired members of state and local
retirement systems. Confers power
on Legislature, which has here-
tofore declined to increase such
pensions on the ground that such
increases for retired employees
would be unconstitutional, Passed
by both Houses—must be repassed
by 1951 Legislature, as a consti-
tutional amendment, and then
goes to the people for referendum.

other for those who have not with-
drawn contributions from the first

tive service for 10 years or more,
he gets credit for total service

ployees Retirement System.
While the retirement bills
passed by the Legislature were
not all of general application,
many are of considerable im~-
rtance to the members affected
yy them,
1, Retired Employees
The pressing problems of the
retired employee who must at-
tempt to live, during the inflation-
ary period, on a fixed and meagre
retirement allowance, has been
studied for a number of years,
but this year, for the first time,
some action was taken. While the
problem has not been solved, a
beginning has been made by the
passage of two bills and the pas-
sage of a proposed amendment to
the Constitution,
The Mahoney bill, S. Pr. 495,
amends the Constitution to con-
fer power on the Legislature to
increase the retirement allow-
ance of retired members of State
and local retirement systems, Be-
fore this bill can become effective,
it must be repassed by the 1951
Legislature and approved by the
people at the 1951 election,
The Legislature has heretofore
declined to pass legislation to in-
crease the pensions of such em-
ployees, despite their conceded
need, on the ground that such a
law would be unconstitutional,
The adoption of this amendment
would remove this objection and
permit the Legislature to take ap-
propriate action.
The records of the State Re-
tirement System show that two-
thirds of the retired employees
receive retirement allowances of
less than $1,000 per annum, and
one-third of the retired employ~
ees receive allowances of less than
$500 per annum. These distres
ingly low retirement allowances
are insufficient to meet the neces-
of inflation, and many retired
employees have been required to
apply to welfare agencies for re-
Nef. Although the Mahoney bill
cannot provide a solution until two
years have elapsed, it would au-
thorize the Legislature to take
appropriate steps to increase such
allowances at that time.
Some relief, however, is pro-
vided by the Erwin bill, S. Pr. 2518,
and the Desmon bill, 8. Jr. 2599,
which, if signed by the Governor,
would liberalize the restrictive
provisions of the present law
which prevents retired employees
from supplementing their income
by working in public employment,
The present law provides that
the retirement allowance of any
such employee shall be suspended
to the extent of his earnings in
public employment. Cases have
been called to our attention in
which retired employees, receiving
allowances as low as $500 to $1,000,
per annum, have had their retire-
ment allowances suspended be-
cause they were able to obtain
part-time public employment as
watchmen, attendants at muni-
cipal bathing beaches, or other
low-paid jobs in the public service,
These bills provide that, if a
member of a retirement system,
receives a retirement allowance
of less than $1,500 per .annum,—
and most retired employees fall
within this category,—he may ac-
cept public employment which
pays him not to exceed $750 per
annum. He can, at the present
time, accept private employment
without affecting his retirement
allowance.
The Erwin bill applies to the
State Retirement System and the
Desmond bill contains similar pro-
visions for all other retirement
systems. The adoption of these
bills will help, in a small way, to
relieve the distress of those re-
sities of life during this period
tired employees who are able to
ALBANY, April 18—The State
Civil Service Commission has di-
rected that a fact-finding study
be made of the feasibility of in-
stitutihg a 37-hour work week
for office employees in State in-
stitutions.
Request for Commission action
came last week in the form of a
State to Study Feasibility
Of 37 %2-Hour Week for
letter from the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association for revision of
the Attendance Rules in regard to
the work week of institution office
workers,
The Commission put over final
decision on the request until the
survey could be made. The ques-
tion will be discussed again at
How Retirement Laws Affect Workers
find part-time work.
This is but a small beginning
however, and efforts must be con-
tinue to bring about a more
equitable solution.
2, Additional Annuities
The Stephens bill, A. Pr, 2826,
authorizes employees to make ad-
ditional contributions to the State
Retirement System, equal to 50
per cent of the member’s normal
contribution on that part of his
salary below $7,500 per annum,
It was about six years ago that
the Association advocated the ad-
option of this measure, which has
ever since been an important
plank. in our legislative program.
Prior to 1943, employees wei
permitted to make additional con-
tributions to the Retirement Sys-
tem, limited only by the amount
sands of dollars of contributions
in excess of those prescribed by
Jaw. Such abuses led to the re-
peal of the privilege. Our con-
ferences at that time to suggest
a modification to prevent the
abuses, instead of outright repeal,
were unavailing, but we have ever
since advocated the restoration of
the privilege to make limited con-
tributions to the annuity fund.
This bill is primarily for the
benefit of the low-paid employees
and cannot be abused to those in
the top brackets,
Most members are of the op-
inion that they can retire at half
pay after 35 years of service,
While the Retirement Law con-
templated retirement at this per-
centage, employees who have re-
tired since inflation caused a sub-
stantial increase in wage scales
have found that the retirement
allowance they receive is below
the amount they expected, This
is due wholly to the fact that the
contributions to their annuity fund
are insufficient. What happens is,
that the State bases its pension
payments upon the highest five
years of salary, but the employee's
own contributions are insufficient
to pay an annuity that equals the
pension paid by the State. This
bill would remedy that situation by
permitting employees to make ad-
ditional contributions which would
be added to their regular con-
tributions, and receive regular in-
terest of 4 per cent in the case of
old members, and 3 per cent in
the case of new members,

bills and a summary of the re-
maining bills awaiting action by

Constitutionality
Of Loyalty Law
WASHINGTON, April 18 —
Twenty-six postal employees, fac-
ing possible dismissal on charges
reflecting on their loyalty, have
started an action in the U. S.
District Court against Attorney
General Tom Clark, Postmaster
General Jesse M. Donaldson, mem-
bers of the U. 8, Civil Service
Commission’s Loyalty Review
Board and the Post Office Loyalty
Board, to have the law under
which they are accused held un-
constitutional. Their attorney is
©. John Rogge, of NYC,
The «methods by which loyalty
action is taken against employees
are attacked, Rumor and gossip,
unsupported statements and sus-
Picions are said to be a basis of
some actions taken or proposed.
Past association with organizations
which were legal when the ac-
cused were members of them are
cited as acts of unfairness.
Violation of the first, fifth,
ninth and tenth amendments of
the U. S. constitution by the law
creating the Loyalty Boards and

Exan Asks New PBA Election
With Only Delegates Casting Votes
(Continwed from Page 1)
One of the recent improvement
in the PBA was the popular elec-
tion of offic for which Mr,
Donovan had been campaigning
for twelve
After this was achic
tion of how long the
officers should be was put before
the members in a referendum,
at the last election. The choice
was of a one r, a two-year 0%
a three-year term, and the two-
year proposal won. The referen-
dum was a sounding of member
sentiment, as an amendment to
the constitution and by-laws was
required. Such an amendment
can not be made by the members,
but only by the delegates, The
members voted early in June,
at the same time that officers
were elected, After it was over,
the delegates passed a res
holding that the tw
applied to the officers who had
just been elected. Patrolman Don-
ovan took sharp issue, pointing
out that, since the adoption of the
two-year term by the delegate:
took place after the election, the
new term could not be made re-
troactive. He pointed out that
had he been elect the Carton-
controlled delegates certainly

wouldn't have ruled that the two-
ar term was effective upon the
newly-elected officers,
Applicable Only Once
Mr, Donovan’s position is that
"|the two-year term begins July 1
;| next and that another election by
the voting members—not by the
314 delegates—must be held. That
gives him two reasons for wanting
a@ new election. The first would
result if he’s successful in his suit
to void the last one, in which
case the same candidates would
run again. If any other new elec-
tion is held, the candidates would-
n't_have to be the same.
The resolution to revert to the
delegate system of electing offi-
cers is so worded as to apply only
to the election in June, the mem-
ee method to be restored in
1950,
“However, if the Carton dele-
gates can dispense with popular
elections this year,” said Patrol-
man Donovan, “they can do the
same thing next year, and would,
so that Carton is evidently seek-
ing to perpetuate himself in the
office of president of the PBA un-
til he retires from the depart-
ment,”
Iilegality Reported Admitted
A statement was made at the
meeting that James H. Tully,
counsel to the PBA, had given a
legal opinion that a two-year
term for the present officers, un-
der the action taken by the dele-
gates to institute it, was illegal.
Mr, Tully was quoted as saying,
however, that the method of at-
tempted reversion to the delegate
system of el ion was legal, in
that it met every requirement of
the constitution and by-laws.
Other lawyers, friendly to op
Ronents of Mr, Carton’s policies,
bélieved that the attempted change
| would be illegal, since the mem-
bership had not authorized the
delegates to make the basic change
in the voting method, and the
application of the proposed change
to a single election disclosed an
ulterior and personal purpose.
They added that election rights,
under the membership corpora-
tion law, if not expressly dele-
gated, are reserved to the mem-
bers, and that Mr. Carton would
have to get membership approval.
No Trifling
“This he would never get, for any
change such as he proposes,” Mr,
Donovan commented, “because the
membership would not stand for
any trifling with their basic right
to the election of officers by
the membership. It would be like
giving up a precious right dearly
won. No man in his right mind
would do it.”
The constitution and bylaws re-
quire that a olution to amend
them shall be laid over
days, 5
meeting of delegates. This 1s
only two or three weeks before
an election would be held in reg-
ular course, although if the court
case is won by Mr. Donovan, an
election could be ordered at once.
The case has been put on the cal-
endar for trial on Tuesday, April
26, before Official Referee Peter
Schmuck,
Quick Action
Another point made against the
action of the delegates in attempt-
ing to make the two-year term
applicable to the present officers
is that the resolution to do so was
introduced and adopted at the
same meeting in mid-June, 1948,
despite the required 30-day wait-
ing period,
The reason given by Mr, Carton
at last week's meeting for desiring
an election by the delegates was
that “the PBA is strapped for
funds.” The election expenses, for
printing and circulating ballots,
and administering the election,
were reported to have been around
$8,000, while the Honest Ballot
Association had submitted an es-
timate of $2,500, when it was
queried about supervising the
election. The question of having
the Honest Ballot Association con-
duct PBA elections has been a
controversial one for years.
Question of Money
Commenting on the money ques-
tion, Patrolman Peter Schneider,
one of the four delegates whom
President Carton had caused to
be expelled by the delegates both
as delegates and as members of
the PBA for opposition to Carton’s
Policies, said:
“Mr.
revenue from the PBA Journal at
the ball held in January, 1949,
was $60,000. The revenue from
the sale of tickets
$100,000. This was only thre
months ago, remember, What’
happened to this money to cause
the PBA to be so broke that it
can’t pay for the nominal cost of
a@ regular election?
“Mr. Carton is afraid to face
the PBA’s voting members, but is
convinced that he controls enough
delegates to be able to dictate an
election at which only delegates
would be entitled to nominate
candidates and vote.
“The proposed plan to circum-
vent the desires of the membership
is a step backward and defies the
democratic voting process that the:
PBA adopted as a
policy.”
Suit for Accounting
Mr, Schneider is among a thou-
sand Patrolmen suing Mr, Car-
ton and the other officers for an
accounting of the funds of the
1948 ball, said to have been
$100,000.

After having sounded out senti-
ment among the Patrolmen in the
Police Department regarding the
annual vacation period, and found
iit “overwhelmingly” in favor of
a 30-day provision, Raymond A.
Donovan, former president of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa~
tion, asked Mayor William
O'Dwyer to institute the reform.
The present vacation period is
20 days.
Patrolman Donovan wrote Ma-
yor O'Dwyer the following letter:
“There is an overwhelming de-

James C. Quinn, secretary-treas-

gave the official AFL stand in fav-

demand which the Uniformed

Robert W. Brady, president of

entire bonus, a general salary in~
crease, 25 days’ vacation and 18
days’ annual sick leave. ,
Jack Biegel, president of the

favor of the 40-hour week.
The general pay increases re-
quested were AFL, $850; CIO,

More Fire Officers and Firemen
Mr. Quinn asked that the bud-
get be increased to provide for
160 additional Fire Officers and
1,500 more Firemen, in which he
had the united support of Messrs.
Muesle and Crane. Mr, Quinn also
wanted 2,000 more Sanitation Man
jobs provided, as well as 280 more
supervisory posts in the Sanita-
tion Department.
Mr. Crane spoke not only on
behalf of the UFA, but also of
the Central Trades, of which he is
an executive officer.
“Our primary concern,” said
Mr, Crane, “is for our disabled
and retiring people and for our
dead. Because the survivors are
so dependent on our pension sys-
tel we urge that all present
salaries be put on a permanent
basis, rather than on q cost-of-
living basis.”

FIR
The Fire Department hopes to
appoint 25 Firemen at the same
time that it makes 14 promotions.
At present the outlook is: one
Deputy Chief, 3 Battalion Chiefs
and 10 Captains. Fire Commis-
sioner Frank J, Quayle would like
more and he’s not given up trying.
Earliest likely date is now July 1,
New firehouses are on Com-
missioner Quayle’s program, but
as yet only two of the 34 re-
quested are on the way — one at
Bellerose, Queens, and the other
on Keap Street, Brooklyn, Bud-
get Director Thomas J. Patterson
has the matter before him.
Fireboat bids were rocket-high,
nearly twice as much as the ap-
propriation, so the department
$4,150 for Firemen, which would
freeze the full $750 bonus into
base pay; 2,-an $850 permanent
pay increase in addition; 3, 160
more Fire Officers; 4, 1,500 more
Firemen, and 5, right to be given
to all Firemen to choose among
the two pension plans which would
enable those appointed since 1940
to get a substantial reduction in
their contributions. -
Mr. Crane also spoke up for the
additions requested in the Sani-
tation Department, explaining that,
most of them would be for Sani-
tation Man (Class C) jobs,
More Transit Pay
Philip F. Brueck and Irving
Ashworth, of the Joint Committee
on Engineers’ and Architects’ Sal-
aries, again requested that the
technical personnel of the city,
be compensated on a parity with
employees doing similar work in|
private industry, They said that
the city is losing some of its best
employees in this category to
private business, because of the
pay disparity.
Former Councilman Charles
Belous, representing Matthew
Guinan, president, Local 100,
TWU, warned that the Board
might have to adjust its budget
upward to meet demands soon to
be made by the TWU for higher
pay for transit workers, who num-
ber 42,000. He did not explain
what the plan was, but it is be-
lieved to refer to the extra cost
that a 40-hour week would neces-
sitate.
Walter S. Pasnick, general rep-
resentative, spoke for the Ameri-~
can Federation of State, County
and Municipal Employees, AFL.
President John E, Carton, of
the Patrolmen’s Benevolent As-
sociation, re-iterated, for Patrol-
men, the same requests that Mr,

NEW YORK CITY NEWS
President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the NYC Civil Service Com-
mission, said that he was served
with the bulkiest legal papers of
his career in office when ten can-
didates who flunked the exam-
ination for promotion to Super-
visor, Department of Welfare,
started a proceeding to have the
test declared void. The petition-
ers object to the nature of the
examination as amateurish and
specifically protest some of the

questions and official key answers,
They want certifications and pro-
motions made from the list re-
voked.
President McNamara first heard
of the grievance when handbills
were distributed, charging gross
irregularities in the conduct of
the test. He called to his office
some of the Welfare Department
employees who'd been connected
with that distribution and he said
afterward that “they had no
proof.”
The petitioners engaged an ex-
pert to evaluate the examination.
He was Marion W. Richardson,
consultant on personnel relations
and selections, and the fault that
.| he found with the test was “plen-
ty,” which partly accounts for the
numerous folios of the petition
and supporting affidavits,

Muesle Cites Case for
Enlarged Fire Quota
The Uniformed Fire Officers
Association presented a vigorous
plea before the Board of Es-
timate last week in behalf of the
necessity for a larger quota and
immediate promotions in the Fire
Department,
The Right Pay for the Job
President Fred Muesle of the
UFO thanked Mayor O'Dwyer for
his assistance in obtaining short-
er hours for the men. He then
Pointed out that the new budget
makes no provision to effectuate
the altered condition resulting
from shorter hours, It is element-
ary, he contended, that the Fire
Department would need addition-
al men to maintain its former
strength,
Captain Muesle cited instances
of officers on eligible lists who
have worked long periods out-of-
title, in jobs for which they are
qualified but without the compen-
sation which is normal for those
higher positions.
He asked the assembled City
officials to take the whole situ-
ation into consideration — the
needs of a growing City, the re-
quirements of 4 proper merit sys-
tem, a correct quota to do a
complete job, Muesle reaffirmed
the loyalty of the officers to the
department and to the City, to
substantiate the points he made.
YORK CITY NEWS
Donovan
“It shocked the members.”
So wrote ex-President Raymond
A. Donovan to President John E.
Carton, of the Patrolmen’s Ben-
evolent AssoCiation, concerning a
resolution backed by Mr. Carton
calling for the election of officers
by delegates, instead of by the
membership. Mr. Donovan stressed
that Mr. Carton was trying to
wrest from the members a precious
right they now have.
Text of Letter
Mr. Donovan's letter follows:
“The resolution that you caused
to be introduced at the meeting
of the PBA delegates, on April 12
last, to amend the constitution and
bylaws, so that the delegates, in-
stead of the members, would elect

shocked me, particularly, as one
who fought hard for twelve years
to have the constitution and by-
laws amended to provide for mem-
bership balloting.
“The members are shocked for
good reasons:
“1. They treasure their hard-
won right to elect officers, You
propose to take something away
from them that they are ready
to protect to the fullest,
“2, Through technical trickery
you seek to prevent the members
from exercising their present vot-

Looks just like the dollar bills you had
before the war, doesn’t it? But you know
full well that the dollar you now have just
won’t buy as much. With the exception
of electricity and gas, the prices of almost
everything you buy have gone sky-high,
Now suppose you happen to use that _
dollar to pay your gas and electric: bill.
We aren’t able to stretch it any more than
you can. Today’s dollar simply won’t go
as far when it comes to paying our ex-
penses—fuel, wages, taxes, materials and
supplies,
So—if we are to continue to supply the
electricity and gas New Yorkers need, and
at the same time keep our business finan-
cially healthy, rates must be kept in line
with today’s costs.
‘*Why must an electric and gas company
stay financially healthy?” you may ask.

Because people will not invest their sav-

to offer them a fair return. And without
their money we would not be able to build
the new plants and other facilities now
needed to meet the city’s ever-increasing
demand for more and more light, heat and
power. Our expansion program is costing
435 million dollars.
With these facts in mind, we think you
will now understand why we recently
appealed for increased gas rates and asked
that the cut in electric rates ordered
early this year be held up.
Both requests have been temporarily
granted, All we ask is that our rates be
