Own Training Stressed

The court order prohibits the
Commission “from certifying and
appointing any of the eligibles”
from the two lists and “from dis-
missing any of the petitioners
from their present positions.” The
Comptrolle enjoined from pay-

title is the minimum pay of the
higher. The salaries are State Vet-
eran Counselor, $3,720 to $4,620;
Senior State Veteran Counselor,
$4,620 to $5,720.

Mr. Resnicoff contends that the
|law provides that employees of
the State shall perform examina-
tion preparation, but that instead

Rehabilitation Adviser of the Vet-
erans Administration, Branch 2,

Capitol, where State, Federal and |
private experts taught them, as|

at 346 Broadway, NYC, who is not
a State employee, was asked to
prepare 200 questions. The peti-
tion sets forth that Mr. Hetzel’'s
questions appeared in both exam-
inations (without duplication) and
that “a great many” of them
|were included verbatim, This the
| petitioners call “illegal, erroneous,
|an abuse of discretion and a vio-
lation of law.” Many of the ques-
tions “did not pertain to the du-
ties of the position,” the petition-
ers state,

Silas 8. Dann, Jr., the petition
sets forth, participated in the Se-
nior examination and “did previ-
ously prepare five questions which
appeared on the examination for
State Veteran Counselor”; also,
“divers persons who participated
in both examinations had previous
knowledge of the questions which
were used.”

Fault Found With Weighting

The weighting of the written,
say the petitioners, violates the

competitive principle, because
training and experience, and the
minimum qualifications, were

wholly subjective, yet were given
the major weight. Thus reversing
the emphasis, according to Mr.
Resnicoff, violates the constitu-
tional provision that examina-
tions, so far as practicable, must
be competitive, and the essence
of competition is that other exam-
iners of equal competence should
be able to arrive at a comparable
result. In subjective testing per-
sonal opinions of examiners count
highly, he added, and one ex-
aminer’s rating can't be checked
by another’s. In support of the
necessity of objective tésting Mr.

case in which the 40-60 ratio,
which went in the same direction
as in the present tests, was ruled
improper (Cowan versus Reavy,
283 N.Y. 238). The court held
in that case that not only is an
examination required, but, so far
as practicable, it must be compet-
itive, and submitting candidates

to subjective testing did not com-
ply with the constitution.

The Public
Employee

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

Job Satisfaction

RECENT study by the General
shows that the employee wants:
“Good pay”

“Good working conditions”

“Good bosses’’

“Steady work”

“A chance to jet ahead’

“To be treated with respect”’

“To get facts about what is going on’’

“To be doing something worthwhile”

“And to have other reasons for really liking their
such as finding them interesting and deeply satis-

Blectric

Company

The same study showed that the 197,000 employees
of the company “are long and have been more or less dis-
satisfied by any standard we could apply.”

This great American company proposes to make its
jobs the kind of jobs its workers want and to make its
employees as satisfied as are its customers or the stockhold-
ers. On this depends the future welfare of the company,

The one man in seven who works in government for
the people has an even higher interest in making his job
satisfying to himself, to the people he serves and to the
government, Public servants are in a ial sense a
chosen people, selected on the basis of merit and fitness to
carry out the great mission of democratic government,
namely, to execute the will of the people as expressed in
law without prejudice or partiality, and to promote the
common welfare.

Among the persistent American myths is the claim
that most men and women work solely for money, that
they have no real interest in their jobs outside the pay
checks. The truth is that work represents about one-half
the conscious life of every worker, Unless this work life
is inherently interesting, providing opportunity for growth,
for comradeship, for exercise of,skills and judgment, no
money can make life worth while.

There is certainly a greater variety of interesting jobs
in the public service than in any other business of which
I have knowledge. If the public could only know the
daily work of its career men and women who serve them,
it would have a new appreciation of government. These
career men and women fight cancer, tuberculosis, com-
municable disease and crime. They operate the public
schools and many colleges. They keep the banks safe de-
positories of the citizens’ money; they dispense justice in
the courts; they keep the water and milk and food safe

Dannemora, Matteawan Workers
Seek Competitive Status for Jobs

* _ Special to The LEADER

ALBANY, March 22—What are
the chances of employees in Dan-
nemora and Matteawan being
covered into the competitive class?

This is a condition toward which
these employees have been striv-
ing for years. The LEADER learns
that formidable opposition exists
within the Civil Service Depart-
ment.

The largest category of em-
Ployees involved is the group
classified as Hospital Attendants,
who argue that they do the same
work as Prison Guards and should
be considered, in terms of pay
and all other conditions, the same
as Prison Guards. Their work
comprises the custodial attention
of the criminal insane, a position
which they maintain is more dan-
gerous than that of Guards con-
trolling sane prisoners.

Dislike “Covering”

The unofficial position of the
Civil Service Department is one
of dislike for the policy of “cover-
ing” employees into the competi-
tive class. It is done only with re-
luctance, although a number of
important precedents do exist. Of
these, perhaps the most import-
ant was the covering in of regular
Mental Hygiene Hospital Attend-
ants some years ago.

Weighing heavily, too, is the
fact that the Dannemora and
Matteawan people want higher
pay for their more precarious
work. “That,” as one official said,
“makes it tough.” It has been

pointed out that the primary con-
cern of the Civil Service Commis-
sion should be to get all possible
personnel

into the competitive

To this, the answer is that many
of the Dannemora and Mattea-
wan employees came in without
much regard to qualifications—
and couldn't possibly meet the re- i
quirements needed of a Prison|; Myer Ave. and 182d Street

The Response

Several responses are advances
to this point of view. First, it is
argued for the Dannemora and |”
Matteawan employees, that the
“covering in” process always in-
cludes a percentage of people who
would not qualify ordinarily; but
that nevertheless, bringing people
into the competitive class is a
good thing for the advance of the
merit system, offers more stabili-
zed personnel conditions, and
works out in the long run—be-
cause all future personnel comes
in under rigid civil service exami-
nation and qualifications. |

It is argued, too, that the pre-
sent employees do perform the |?
duties of the position—theory
aside—and should therefore be
paid the salary that goes with
such an array of duties.

Pension Gains Get
Some Recognition

ENSIONS vie with salary increases these days in the

tops news of interest to public employees, present and
future, and indeed pas President Truman signed the
pension liberalization bill that not only ine ses benefits
jo future pensioners of the Federal service, but to those
already retired. This benefit to present pensioners is of
singular importance, It is hoped that the precedent will
be effective upon States and local governments that have
seen fit to avoid this serious responsibility, for one reason
or another, but all stemming from unwillingness to bear
any part of the expense. The plight of former employees
living on pittance pensions, the purchasing power of which
has nearly halved for all of them, so that their plight|
has nearly doubled, is one of the most heart-rending situa- |
tions confronting the country, yet the pleas of.the sufferers
usually get a cold reception.

Again at the Federal Jevel, the approval by the Senate
Finance Committee of the Knutson tax-reduction bill, al-
though at a scale about one-third less than the introducer
proposed and as passed by the House, contains an item of
comfort for those trying to live on small pensions. The
bill now calls for an extra exemption of $600 for all per-
sons more than 65 years old. That benefit is not restricted
to pensioners only, but accrues to them as part of the
public. If both husband and wife are more than 65 the
exemption would e to $2,400 total; if one is more than
G5, the other not, the new figure is $1,800; while if neither
is more than 65, the exemption is twice the new $600, or
$1,200, instead of the former $1,000, Besides, the tax
rates would be reduced most at the low income level. The
bill has an excellent chance of enactment, even over pos-
sible Presidential veto.

The campaign to have enacted at this session a bill
that specifically eliminates the discrimination in income
tax exemptions among various pensioners, with public em-
ployees pensions getting no exemption at all, will be pres-
sed, once the tax reduction law is enacted, The tax re-
duction benefit would be most welcome to these pensioners,
but is not enough, not by far. The exclusion of public
employee pensioners from benefits, as well as the dis-
parity of benefits to those enjoying exemption, must be
cured, if we are to continue to look one another in the
face,

A stimulating piece of news about pensions is the
publication of a booklet entitled “Police Pension Funds,”
prepared by the Pension Forum, which is required study
not only for every member of the NYC Police Department
but also the Fire Department, because of the clear com-
parison of Police and Fire Pension systems that it con-
tains. In quality, that report is far and ahead of any other
on any pension system that any public employee group
has produced in NYC. There is no question about the
excellence of the analysis, Also, the pointed way in which
the arguments are presented will clear up for many a
member of either system doubts which he may have en-
tertained, Some of the arguments presented are con-
troversial and recommendations will require study of cost
not considered a necessary part of the analysis, but the
excellence of what has been covered is so high that it

is a credit to Parolmen Joel Weinberg and Peter Schneider, bes

there shortly to be a provi-
sional appointment for In-

State Civil Service Commission.
And is his name Brown?
And what of the report that the

State Salary Standardization
Board is to have a new director?

Two members of the Court of
Appeals bench were classmates at
Fordham Law School — Chief
Judge John T. Loughran and
Associate Judge Albert Conway.
In a later class ('23) were Mayor
William O'Dwyer of NYC, Secre-

and State Civil Service Commis-

Key Jobs Found
By Vets Through Aid

Key positions have been filled
by veterans through and given
by the free service at the Vet-
erans Service Center, 500 Park
Avenue, Bernard Haldane an-
nounced as the service started its
third year He is founder and gen-
eral director of the Executive Job
Counseling Service of the Society
for the Advancement of Manage-
ment (N. Y. Chapter).

During the past two years more
than 20 volunteer businessmen,
including Mr, Haldane, have held
more than 5,000 conferences with
veterans seeking job counsel.

“As a result, some now hold key
executive positions with leading
corporations,” he reports. “Many
were helped to determine the
careers at which they would do
best; in one case a movie-house
manager decided he could be-
come a city manager—and has
held such a job for more than a
year; in another case, an under-
taker went after a sales executive
job—and has it; another young
engineer, who thought his talents
might bring him only $4,50),
found a job at $8,000.

‘These results have been achiey-
ed through application of a new
self-analysis technique devised by
Mr. Haldane. Applicants are given
group instruction on how it may
be applied, and they have private
consultations with counselors on
how to sell their talents.

present list for Junior Chemical
Engineer, although this title is
used in the Fire Department and
in the Board of Higher Education,
and could be used in other city
departments in their chemical
engineering work.

In the Fire Department, in addi-
tion to the permanent men in this
title, there are at least nine tem-
porary Junior Chemical Engi-
neers appointed from November
16, 1946 to February 4, 1948.

The 1947-8 budget lists fourteen
positions as Junior Chemical En-
gineer, none of which appears to
be filled with a permanent em-
ployee at present.

Permanent engineering em-
Ployees tend steadily to increase
in experience value to the city.

We have written to the Civil
Service Commission in this matter,
urging that an open-competitive
examination for Junior Chemical
Engineer be held at the earliest
possible opportunity so that a list
may be established.

imvolving ingerpretation of the
constitutional provision relating
to promotions by competitive ex-
amination, in which the Appel-
late Division, First Department,
by a divided court, upheld the
“assignment” of Dr. John E, Con-
boy without competitive promo-
tion examination has been argued
in the Court of Appeals and deci-
sion is expected next month. Dr,
Conboy was elevated from the
Position of Examining Physician,

Retention Change
Proposed in Bill

WASHINGTON, March 22.
A change in the retention law was
proposed in a bill introduced by
Senator William Langer, Chair-
man of the Post Office and Civil
Service Committee. Any veteran
with an efficiency rating of Good
or better would be retained as
against any non-yeteran of less
than 10 years’ Federal service. If
the veteran’s rating is less than
Good, he would be preferred only
as against such non-veterans as
haye equal or lower efficiency rat-

ng than his own, if the non-vet-
erans have less than 10 years’
service.

The layoff of status employees
with long Government service
records in the reduction in force
in the Veterans Administration
prompted Senator Langer to study
the subject closely. Permanent-
Status veterans with short Gov-
ernment-job service record were
retained as against old-timers
who were not veterans, That's
the law as a stands.

Fireman Study Aid

fe

(Continued from Last Week)

“The modern fire fighter Is
highly skilled and utilizes com-
plex equipment in extinguishing

fires. Consequently, the fireman
must have a high degree of me-
chanical aptitude and he must
also be well acquainted with the
physical laws governing the flow
of water through pipes and hose.”
Questions 91 to 100 present
schematic drawings of fire fight-
ing equipment. Read the explana-
tion alongside each drawing and
then answer the question relating
to that drawing.

91. Figure I represents an en-
closed water chamber, partially
filled with water. The number 1
indicates air in the chamber and 2
indicates a pipe by whieh water
enters the chamber. If the water
pressure in the pipe, 2, increases
then the

(A) water pressure in the cham-
ber will be decreased
level in the chamber will fall (C)
air in tke chamber will be com-
pressed (D) air in the chamber
will expand (B) water will flow
out of the chamber,

92. Figure II represents a wate4y the wheel. The number 3 in-

tank containing water. The num-
ber 1 indicates an intake pipe and
2 indicates a discharge pipe. Of
the following, the statement which
is least accurate is that the

(A) tank will eventually over-
flow if water flows through the
intake pipe at a faster rate than
it flows out through the discharge
pipe (B) tank will empty com-
pletely if the intake pipe is closed
and the discharge pipe is allowed
to remain open (C) water in the
tank will remain at a constant
level if the rate of intake is equal
to the rate of discharge (D) water
in the tank will rise if the intake
pipe is operating when the dis-
charge pipe is closed (E) time re-
quired to fill the tank, if the dis-
charge pipe is closed, depends up-
on the rate of flow of water
through the intake pipe.

93. Figure III represents a pipe
through which water is flowing in
the direction of the arrow. There
is a construction in the pipe at
the point indicated by the num-
ber 2. Water is being pumped into
the pipe at a constant rate of 350
gallons per minute. Of the follow-
ing, the most accurate statement
is that

(A) the velocity of the water at
point 2 is the same as the velocity
of the water at point 3 (B) a
greater volume of water is flowing
past point 1 in a minute than is
flowing past point 2 (C) the velo-
city of the water at point 1 is
greater than the velocity at point
2 (D) the volume of water flowing
past point 2 in a minute is the
same as the volume of water flow-
ing past point 1 in a minute (E)
a greater volume of water is flow-
ing past point 3 in a minute than
is flowing past point 2.

years under age 60), $300; re-

The foregoing formula is used
also in computing the reduced an-
nuity payable to an employee with
25 or more years of service who is
involuntarily separated from the
Tolls after April 1, 1948, not for
cause or on charges of misconduct
or delinquency. The annuity in
case starts immediately yp-
on separation, regardless of the
age of the employee. The rate of
reduction from a full annuity is
the same as in a 55-30 case (3
per cent per year under age 60).

The annuities of persons with
25 or more years of service who
left the rolls, as described above,
between June 30, 1947, and April
1, this year, will be computed as
under all the old retirement pro-
visions except for this one point:
Their basic annuities will be com-
puted as in the past.and then the
new plan of 3 per cent per year
reduction for age under 60 will be
applied to get the reduced annuity
Payable.

Employees with 5 or more years
of civilian service who are separa-
ted after the effective date of the
new law and before they attain
the full, or optional, retirement
age, will be entitled to an annuity
at age 62 computed on the basis
of the new formula. If such an
employee takes a refund, this dis-
continued service annuity is for-
feited, as stated earlier in this
pamphlet.

The Langer-Chavez-Stevenson
Act does not allow us to compute
annuities under the new, more
liberal plan for those employees
with 5 or more years of service
who are separated from the rolls
between January 24, 1942, and
the effective date of this act. Per-
sons in this category retain the
rights and benefits offered under
the old law.

Among the interesting features
of the Langer-Chavez-Stevenson
Act are the new survivorship
benefits. The old “forfeiture” and
“Joint and survivorship” retire-

ment plans are out; we have in| her

their stead two survivorship
principles under the new law
which we call the “Joint-and-
Survivorship Options.” The first
is limited to husbands, and the
second is open to any unmarried
employee. An employee is not al-
lowed to decide which option he
wants to use until he retires, so
for most members of our system
there is plenty of time to think
this over.

Let’s take up the husband's
Special benefit first; we can call
this “Option 1.” We have a mar-
ried man—a retiring employee—
and he wents to provide security
for his wife after he dies. By
taking this Option 1 he will re-
ceive 90 per cent of the regular
full annuity to which he is en-
titled, less three-fourths of 1 per
cent for éach full year (if any)
his wife is under age 60 at the
time the husband’ retires.

In the case of a wife who is 47,
but not yet 48, when he husband
retires, for example, this differ-
ence-in-age reduction will result
in the retired man’s getting an
income amounting to 81 per cent
of a full annuity (which is the
initial 90-per cent rate reduced
by three-fourths of 1 per cent an-
nually for 12 full years), and the
wife's getting a survivorship an-
nuity equal to 50 percent of the
FULL annuity beginning at her
age 50. Her payments start imme-
diately upon the husband's death
if she has already reached 50
when he passes on. This annuity
to the widow will be paid until
her death or remarriage.

Tn connection with this proposi-
tion of reducing the retired man’s
annuity according to the wife's
age, there is a section in the new
law that says the man’s reduced
annuity will in no case be under
75 per cent of a full annuity.

The Option 1 arrangement is
available to married males retir-
ing under any plan (including
those involuntarily _ separated
after 25 years) except the annuity
plan based on discontinued service
after 5 or more years of employ-
ment.

So, on to Option 2 of these new
survivorship benefits. This plan
is open only to unmarried em-
Ployeés (men and women) who

retire under the age and optional
Provisions of the law and those
who are entitled to a 25-year-ser-
vice annuity after involuntary

separation,

Under Option 2, the retired
worker gets a reduced annuity
(sealed down according to the
following table), and the indivi-
dual he designates as his survivor
gets payments amounting to 50
per cent of the reduced annuity
which the former employee was
getting. Payments to the named
survivor will continue from the
time the former employee dies
until the survivor dies.

If it so happens that the named
survivor under this Option 2 is
also qualified to receive an annu-
ity through the benefits accorded
him as a child of the deceased
annuitant, that survivor will be
Paid the amount coming to him
under the Option 2 arrangement,
and the other payments will be
discontinued, or vice versa; both
annuities cannot be paid.

There are two requirements to
be met under this plan: (a) The
retiree must be in good health—as
evidenced by a physical examina-
tion taken when he retires—and
(b) the named survivor must have
an “insurable interest” in the re-
tired person. Anyone who would
suffer a financial loss in the event
of the retired employee's death
could be considered as having an
“insurable interest” in the former
employee. Dependent relatives
would qualify, of course.

There are about 1,128,000 men
among our members of the Civil
Service Retirement System. It has
been estimated that around 850,-
000 of these men are married.
From this hasty figuring we may
deduce that we have a great many
people in our midst who are—or

soon will be—deeply interested in|

the new widow's and children’s
benefits that have been estab-
Ushed under the new retirement
law.

Under the old law, the widow
of a deceased retired employee
could receive an annuity only if
husband had named her as
his survivor-annuitant when he
retired. She had no annuity pro-
tection at all if her husband died
while he was still employed. The
same was true of a surviving child
of an employee. The benefits un-
der the Langer-Chavez-Stevenson
Act protect the widows and the
children of both active employees
and annuitants,

Before going into these new
benefits specifically, it should be
explained that for these purposes
the widow must have been mar-
ried to the worker or annuitant
for at least 2 yeats before his
death, or be the mother of his
child born during the marriage.
A child, to be eligible for the new
benefits, must be unmarried and
under the age of 18 or, if over 18,
incapable of self-support because
of physical or mental disability.
No benefits are payable unless the
employee has completed at least
5 years of civilian service at the
time of his death.

First, let us take the case of
man who dies while in active ser-
vice. The man, in our example,
leaves his widow, but no children
who could qualify for annuity
benefits, His widow wil receive an
annuity when she reaches the age
of 50, or, if she is already past 50
at the time of the employee's
death, she gets the annuity im-
mediately. It will be paid to her
until she dies or remarries.

In the case of a deceased em-
Ployee who leave a widow and a
child, if the child is entitled to
an annuity, so also is the widow

So to speak, and the widow's age
is immaterial. The widow will get
monthly checks (based on the
existence of the child) until she
dies, remarries, or reaches age
50. This isn’t the end, however,
for if the widow hasn't remarried,
she will be entitled to get the reg-
ular widow's annuity commencing
at age 50, as outlined above. In
this way, the payments will be
continuous in some cases.

In both instances, the amount
paid to the widow will be 50 per
cent of the annuity the husband
had earned by the time he died.
If the husband had made volun-
tary contributions to the fund to
purchase additional annuity for
himself, the exact amount of his
contributions (with interest) will
go to his beneficiary or to his
estate.

Now for the children’s annui-
ties. If the father dies while in
active service and leaves both a
widow and children, each child
will receive an immediate annu-
ity. This annuity will be one of the
following, whichever is the least:
(1) 25 per cent of the amount
which would have been due the
father; (2) $360; or (3) the
amount obtained by dividing $900
by the number of surviving chil-
dren,

If, however, the father dies as
a widower, or the mother dies as
a widow, then each surviving
child will receive an immediate
annuity amounting to one of the
following, whichever is the least:
(1) 50 per cent of the amount
which would have been due the
Parent; (2) $480; or (3) the
amount obtained by dividing $1,-
200 by the number of children en-
titled to annuities.

We have discussed the special
annuity benefits to the widows
and children of persons who die
while in active service; now let us
take up the benefits to the sur-
vivors of the employees retiring
after this law becomes effective.
The following comments apply to
all such annuitants (including
those involuntarily separated after
25 years) except those receiving
discontinued service annuity pay-
ments after 5 or more years of
employment.

Suppose we consider a retired
employee who dies and leaves a
widow but no children who quali-
fy for annuity benefits. His widow
will get an annuity beginning at
her age 50 if he provided one for
her when he retired by naming
her as his survivor-annuitant.

That will be the only way this
widow can get an annuity based
on the Government service per-
formed by her husband.

a widow and one or more chil-
dren who are entitled to benefits,
the widow will be in line (like the
widow of the man who died in ac-
tive service) for a monthly check
based on the existence of the off-
spring; she gets this benefit until
she dies, remarries, or reaches age
50. This widow's annuity will be
equal to 50 per cent of her hus-
band’s basic annuity (excluding
any portion thereof purchased by
voluntary contributions).

We've been talking about the
annuity checks which are drawn
in the widow's favor; now we shall
discuss the benefits payable to the
surviving children of annuitants.

When the annuitant is survived
by both his widow and a child (or
children), the child who qualifies
for such benefit with respect to
age and dependency will receive
an immediate annuity consisting
of one of the following, which-
ever is the least: (1) 50 per cent
of the annuity payable to the
widow; (2) §360; or (3) the
amount obtained by dividing $900
by the number of children in-
volved,

When an annuitant dies as a
widow or widower (the other
spouse being deceased), each sur-
viving child gets payments imme~
diately. Each child will be entitled
to one of the following, whichever
is the least: (1) 50 per cent of the
basic annuity the deceased person
Was entitled to; (2) $480; or (3)
the amount obtained by dividing

1,200 by the number of children
involved.

All payments to children are
made to their legal guardians (if
any have been appointed), or to
the widows or other persons hav-
ing the care and custody of the
children,

Children’s benefits terminate
when the children reach age 18
(unless physically or mentally in-
capable of self-support), marry,
or die. In cases in which several
individuals (children, or widow-
and-child combinations) are re-
ceiving survivor benefits, when the
benefit to any one of the children
ceases or the widow dies, the pay-
ments to the remaining children
are recomputed on the basis of
the new number of survivors in-
volved.

QUESTION was asked from
the floor at a recent meeting

ition concerning a front-page

Police Commissioner Arthur W,

Ms of the NYC society at the
Hast, at the Hotel Astor, say-
that the department would
milnue its merit system and that
Motions would be made re-

ss of race, creed or color.
as F. Sullivan, Police Com~

Firemen’s Association.

The men claimed they were il-
legally passed over for appoint-
ment by Patrick Walsh when he
was Fire Commissioner, who
claimed they were within ready
call in the draft. They were on
the eligible list promulgated in
December, 1941, and that claimed
that, after being denied appoint-
ment, most of them joined the
armed forces. They did not com-
mence their actual service in the
|Fire Department until after the
war. Had they been accepted by
the Commissioner in September,
1942, and then drafted, the period
of their military service would
have counted for purposes of ad-
|vancement, promotion and retire-

ment.
First Step

‘The first rectifying step was
taken when the Court of Appeals
in Berger versus Walsh ruled that
the Commissioner's act in passing
over men whose draft status was
not 1-A was illegal. On June 19,
1944, by Special Order No. 103,
Commissioner Walsh made what
Purported to be a retroactive ap-
Pointment as of September, 1942,
with assignment to the Military
Service Division, and the men in
service were thenceforth carried
on the rolls of the Department,

However, when a group of men,
denied appointment in September,
1942, but subsequently accepted in
December of that year, sought to
take credit for the three-month
period, the Court of Appeals in
Chikofsky versus Walsh, held that,
since they had performed no ser-
vices in the Department until
December, 1942, their appoint-
jments could not be considered
| effective until they were sworn in
and actually entered upon the dis-
charge of their duties,

Second Step

The second step was taken in
the case of Kelly versus Quayle.
Kelly was one of the men denied
|appointment in September, 1942,
and retroactively appointed by
Special Order No. 103 in . June,
1944, He entered military service
in 1943, was honorably discharged
in October, 1945, and commenced
actual service in the Fire Depart-
ment in November, 1945. He
claimed that his situation differed
from Chikofsky because he could
offer military service in lieu of
actual service in the Department
and he therefore demanded that
his appointment be given effect
as of the date when he entered
military service, July, 1943,

The Corporation Counsel took
the position that Special Order
No, 103 accorded the men seniority
only in the event of lay-off and
that no man could earn any cre-

Supreme Court Justice Null, be-
fore whom the Kelly case was
felt that he could not
grant relief which would antedate
Special Order No. 103. In a decis-
jon handed down on March 6,
1947, he granted Kelly's petition
to the extent of making his ap-
pointment effective on June 19,
1944, the date of Special Order
| No. 103, but refused to make the
| appointment effective as of July,
|1943, when Kelly went into mili-
tary service,

Salary Arrears Affected

The effect of Justice Null's order
\was to give Kelly credit for the
‘period from June, 1944 to Novem-
ber, 1945, thus bringing him nearer

to First Grade on June 19, 1947,

open while the claims of the 117
other men, similarly situated,
could be given consideration. After
protracted negotiations with the
city, the action brought by these
jmen, Arnold versus Quayle, was

decision in the Kelly case. The

sential points:
1, June 19, 1944 is the effective
date of the petitioners’ appoint-

to retirement and advancing him)

order of Supreme Court Justice|
Pecora, covers the following es-|

ments as probationary Firemen
and the date to be used in deter-
mining their rights to advance~
ment in salary grade and their
right to retire from service on @
pension.

2. The city is to make payment
of arrears in salary which is the
difference between the salary ac-
tually paid to the petitioners and
the compensation of the grade to
which they were entitled to be
assigned during each period as
determined by length of service
from June 19, 1944.

3. The settlement is without pre=
judice to other rights, acquired by
legislation enacted subsequent to
March 6, 1947. (The Quinn-Stein-
gut Pension Bill became law after
March 6, 1947,)

The Subway Fare

This brings us to the issue of the subway fare.

Until this year, civil service employees have hesit
to take a stand for the higher fare. When, however, Mi
O’Dwyer came out publicly for the 8¢ fare, they backed
on it. Even the Transport Workers Union, a C10
went counter to the official policy of its parent body, to
the Mayor on this, O’Dwyer asked the support of the Pp
employees, and he got it,

Now, they’re holding the bag.

The Mayor says in effect: ‘No, I won't do it.

This is serious abdication of responsibility. It is
permissible abdication on the part of a Mayor ..+
