City Workers FaceWage Cut

Some 50,000 city employees who entered the service at $1,800 city to get around the adverse Wexler and Denehy decisions b
less, face another in a long series of wage-cut attempts through starting increments only on July 1, ending them when they reac!
ting of the mandatory increment law. The latest step is a bill to within $60 of the grade’s maximum. An identical bill was kille
st introduced into the City Council by Mrs. Genevieve B. Earle, in committee last year. Employee groups are already striving t»

Are U. S. Job Lists Juggled?

Orie week he’s number 5 on a U.S. list, The following week they tell him he’s down to number 12. Why

Civil Service Commissions, tells all in an exclusive and authoritative article appearing on page 18.

for City Workers

Mayor LaGuardia again carried his battle against the courts into the City

city. employees who entered the service at $1,800 and

below are caught in the middle of the fight. The Mayor pushed introduction of

a bill to revise the increment law so that the $120 raises are given only on July

1, and that raises stop at

Last year, a bill calling for*
these changes was introduced)
by Robert K. Straus, young |
Independent Democrat from
Manhattan, He admitted he}
was following the Mayor's |
wishes. It died in the Com-)
mitee on Civil Employees,
headed by Democrat William
M. McCarthy, McCarthy au-
thored the original mandatory
increment law.

Last Tuesday’s bill was
sponsored jointly by Mrs.
Genevieve B. Earle and Jo-
seph Clark Baldwin, leaders of
the Fusion majority.

It has again gone to McCarthy's
committee, But this time, rumors are
in the air that the Democrats will
join with the Mayor's henchmen in
passing it.

The bill seeks to nullify the Wex-
ler and Denehy decisions. They held:
(2) increments start on the anniver-
sary of entrance (not the start of
the budget period, July 1); (2) they
reach to within one cent of the
grade maximum (e.g., $1,799.99, not
$1,760).

The Mayor didn't like these de-
cisions, refused to make budgetary
provisions for the extra money they
called for. Last month he an-
nounced that all but emergency ap-
pointments to the city service would
stop until the $1,000,000 loss caused
by these decisions was made up.
Budget officials admit the threat
hasn't been carried out to the letter,

The Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission sought to go around the
matter by lowering the entrance sal-

$60 below the maximum of the grade.

Hatching Bad Eggs
A mine the f

The an citizen holds certain rights, guar-
anteed him by the Constitution, sanctioned by the
Will of the people.

They are no greater for the college professor than
for the hod-carrier; nor less for the pauper than for
the bank president.

Americans have always looked with abhorrence

RE Civil Service employees citizens?

That sounds lik absurd question, But

upon the establishment of special classes of citizens
differing from others with respect to their rights

(1 their privileges.

Yet precisely such a class is being nourished. ..
a class of aborted citize: nd it consists of the
civil servants,

One day last year, Carl Atwood Hatch delivered
to the hopper of the United States Senate a bill
which rendered it illegal for government employees
to participate in political activities. It was the first
step in what has since become an effective campaign
to diminish the civil rights of government workers,
to establish them as an inferior group of citizens.
is a comparatively painless one. It
is served up ina porridge of fine words and reason-
able sentiments. ‘To the plain man, it is made to
appear like protection from the chicanery of politi-
cal machines.

Now the Hatch Act is hatching bad eggs.

‘The latest is a bill hatched by Thomas C. Des-
mond in the New York State Senate, a drastic
replica of the original federal act. Its provisions
apply to civil servants of the State and of the cities.

Mr, Desmond (and those behind him) have se-
lected government workers, from among the entire
citizenry, for those special attentions which small-
minded politicians are so eminently capable of be-
stowing,

Should the Desmond bill become law, Civil Serv-
ice employees will find themselves strait-jacketed,
squeezed, hog-tied.

Bluntly, the “little Hatch bill” says:

Political activities prohibited.

Mr. Desmond would prevent any person in the
Civil Service from functioning on a committee of a
political party or even a political club; from acting
as delegate to a political convention, even a minor
one; from taking part in a political campaign; from
“interfering” with a nomination or “affecting the
results” of an election,

When before in our h

tory has any group been

summarily denied the right to fight, via democratic
methods—that is, politically—for an improvement
of their condition?

When, before Mr. Hatch and Mr. Desmond, has
it heen taboo for Americans to utilize their individ
ui or joint power to support those persons in whom
they have political confidence, and oppose those
whose political attitude they distrust ?

Is not such action, freely indulged by free men,
the very core of democracy?

* oem

Having gone so far, Desmond takes a stab direct
ly nt the constitutional right of free speech. He
does it so magnanimously, too. We quote from the

bill

All such persons shall reta

Who is to judge when an opinion has been pub-
licly or privately expressed? If a Civil Service em-
ployee expresses his views to three of his fellows
at juneh, has there been a private or a public dem-
onstration? If private, does it become public if

several people at another table oyerh what has
heen said? How loud must the speaker’s voice be

“,..We're criticized
by experts...”

WILLIAM
HODSON

The man who deserves credit for the transfer of the
employees in New York City's Welfare Department to
Civil Service over a two-year period is a tall, slim,
genial man of 49 who plays the violin, reads aloud to
his three children, and is the best U. S. administrator
of Public Welfare—William Hodson.

In a few weeks, with the appointment of about 500
Social Investigators from the new eligible list, 95 per-
cent of the 9,000-odd employees of the welfare depart-
ment will be under Civil Service. “I believe in Civil
Service from top to bottom positions. We're going to
|get our whole staff under Civil Service as fast as we

can,” says Hodson,
When Bill Hodson speaks of retief his words carry
eight and make sense.
“The average citizen has no more conception of what
relief is about than I have about Einstein’s theory,” he
| says feelingly. “The public is apt to talk about ‘these
| people on relief’ as though they were all alike and have
only one thing in common—to get something for noth-
ing. There are a hell of a lot of loafers among the idle

!| rich as well as among the idle poor. Most people on

| relief want jobs.”

A Basic Frustration

He calls the public’s attitude toward relief the out-
growth of a “basic frustration of the American
| people...”
| “The terrible thing that happens to people is that
| When they can't work, their morale is shattered and

| person idle for years loses his morale,

“For three years I have been urging all the interests
in the community—industrial leaders, social workers,
representatives of labor, government officials, every
group—to form a national non-political commission to
really study this problem. Let's get around and see the
problem—the people in the dust bowl, the Negroes
starving in the South, the plight of the longshoremen
| in California...”

Bill Hodson, who's been successively stove salesman,
soda jerker, lawyer, social worker and topnotch execu-
| tive, got into the relief problem on the ground floor.

before his views become public, Senator Desmond?
May he express those views in a communication to
a newspaper?
The immediate practical consequences of the bill,
should it pass, are devastating. It squelches school
| teachers and other government workers who act as
| leaders of thought in small towns. It permeates the
entire Civil Service system with a fear-feeling and
an unexpressed hysteria—a condition not conducive

to quality production,
*

ued that the bill is designed to protect
om the organized political activity of
| ants, it may be argued with greater force
that the bill will saddle upon the citizenry an inert,
voiceless, seething bureaucracy playing an ever-
increasing role in the life of the private citizen.
If it is
growth of government ser

Tf it is

ices subject to control

and manipulation by politicians, then the answer |

lies in an enlargement of the merit system—not in
the suppression of civil rights.
Civil Service workers must not be prevented from
exercising the rights which all other citizens enjoy.
The way of the Desmond bill is the way of tyr-
anny.

It is not for Americans,

Eligibles—Mice or Men?

T'S high time the falsest of legal fictions in the
I Civil Service was swept aside, That is the claim

that eligibles have no legal standing. Eligibles
| usually have more concern with matters under discus-
sion than those already in the service. The eligibles
| will be around a long time after their older colleagues
have retired.

Last week we had a perfect illustration of what hap-
pens when eligibles are allowed to speak up,

| The Patrolmen’s Eligibles Association has objected to
article 2 of the proposed pension bill. This article, the

| eligibles maintain, grants them lesser benefits than

| shose guaranteed incumbents. They listed 16 points at
issue,

At the public hearing in the City Council, Richard F.
Sullivan, head of the Association, was a prominent
speaker, After he had left the platform, the Finance

| Committee announced that the bill has been amended

ued that there exists a danger in the |

er.

Resignations
J. G.—When you resign from a)

This is also true in the State and

pointed to a city position, this will
not affect your reinstatement rights

Race Track Jobs

R, L.—vUntil legislation is adopted

to determine what types of positions

HOLC, USHA, NLRB, and similar
departments have clerical positions

Permanent Employees
J, R.—When you resigned from |
your position after two months of
service you had not gained a per-
manent statu and so you are not
eligible for reinstatement. A person
does not become a permanent em-
ployee until he has completed a pro-
bationary period of six months.

Salary Differentials

M. Ri—Unfortunately the duties
performgd by an employee in the
city service do not necessarily de-|
termine the grade of his position. |
‘The grade is determined by the sal-

it has no control over the payment

Barber Tests

G, C.—As far as I know, the vari-
ous Civil Service commissions have
never held competitive tests for bar-
bers. These positions are in the non-

out examinations, Often such work

titles who do barbering part-time.

The additional step Hatch is considering, however, wo)
farther. The matter has never been settled by the courts, ;
fine legal question, but if it is constitutional, the new lezislation
block any state employee, howsoever paid, from taking any acting
in elections for president, senator or representative, or in
any national issue,

Noting that the law did not provide for a mitigation of (he 4
penalty for violations by federal employees, Hatch said he |
istrators would be guided by a “rule of reason.”
Would Warn Employees

He admitted that a strict interpretation of the law would {o;

‘The perennial flow of legislation that would remove

Other things being equal, a man of 60 would thus stand th¢

Upsets Retirement Scheme

Chief objection to this type of bill in the past has been that the
ployment of older persons tended to destroy the solvency of the 1
ment fund. An elderly man, paying contributions for only a few
would reach the retirement age and reap a fat annuity out of prop
to his contributions,

‘The Byrnes bill meets this difficulty by providing that if an empl
has not served fifteen years before reaching the retirement age, he
given no retirement pay.

‘The difficulty here, according to the private opinion of the com
is that this destroys exactly the objectives which the retirement
was devised to obtain—namely, a method of making the dismisal
superannuated federal employees possible, by giving them something
live on.

Unless there is a retirement fund waiting to support them, the old
ployee who has lost his usefulness will not be fired, the theory *
ministrators are not sufficiently hard-hearted to do it.

THE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE LAW
OF NEW YORK STATE

By ERWIN MEMELSDORFF

TECHNICAL ASSISTANT
DIVISION OF PLACEMENT AND UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE
NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

HE New York Unemployment Disurance Law which was en-
acted in 1935 became effective on Jan, 1, 1936, with respect to
employers’ liability for the payment of contributions. The
payment of benefits to eligible employees began in January, 1938,

The law is based on the pooled fund system; that is, all con-
tributions by employers are paid into a single fund and all bene-
fits to employees are paid out of such a fund. This is the system
which has been adopted by the overwhelming majority of state
unemployment insurance laws. A few states developed a different
system and established separate funds for individual employers
or group of employers. Benefits to former employees of the em-
ployer, under such system, are paid solely from the funds col-
lected from such employer or employers.

Contributions under the New York State Unemployment In-
surance Law are payable at the rate of 3 per cent of the wages of
employees covered under the law, but are levied only on the first
$3,000 paid during a calendar year by an employer to each of his
employees as remuneration for services rendered,

NOT ALL EMPLOYERS COVERED

Not all employers in New York State are subject to the law and
not all employees performing work for an employer subject to the
law are covered under this system.

The most significant limitation is the restriction of the law's
applicability to employers who have four or more persons in their
employ, An employer becomes subject to the law if he employs
such four or more persons on any 15 different days. Such days
need not be consecutive, nor is it required that the four persons
be employed for the full day or be employed simultaneously on
such day. An employer has employed four persons on a day, if,
for instance, two persons are employed in the morning and two in
the afternoon of the same day.

An employer who has once become subject to the law continues
to be subject to it for subsequent periods although less than four
persons may be employed by him during such periods. Only after
a full calendar year has elapsed, within which the employer did
not employ four or more persons on any 15 or more days, may he
be released from liability as of the first of January immediately
following such year. To effectuate such release, a written appli-
cation to be filed within a specified period is required. Otherwise
the employer continues to be subject to the law.

In addition to the above outlined Mmitation of the law’s appli-
cation, generally, it exempts specifically the following groups of
employers:

a. The State of New York, municipal corporations and other
governmental subdivisions,

b. Non-profit making organizations organized and operated
exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, literary or edu-
cational purposes.

However, all such employers, including employers of less than
four employees, may become subject to the law by voluntary
election,

The New York State Unemployment Insurance Law does not
exempt employers of domestic employees, but in order to become
subject to the law in this respect on a compulsory basis, the em-
ployer must employ four or more persons in domestic or personal
service in the indicated manner. ‘

“EMPLOYMENT” IS DEFINED

Employees, in order to be counted in determining whether the
employer employed the required number of persons rendering
him subject to the law, and in order to be covered, must be em-
ployed in “employment,” as this term is defined in the law. As
the first prerequisite, a contract of hire must exist. This means
that the employee must be entitled to remuneration for services
rendered, Whether such contract is written or oral and whether
it 1s expressed or merely implied is irrelevant,

Certain groups of persons are specifically exempt under the
law's definition of “employment,” such as the spouse and the
minor children of an individual employer, farm laborers, caddies
under certain conditions, employees covered under the federal
Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act, and persons under the
age of 21 years who perform part-time services and who, during
the daytime, are in regular attendance in an institution of
learning.

FOR WORK IN OTHER STATES

The most difficult part of this definition pertains to employees
who do not perform all of their services for a given employer
within New York State but perform such services in two or more
states. The definition in this respect has been changed recently,
and the law at the present time provides generally, disregarding
a few refinements, as follows:

(a) The employee is a “New York” employee if his entire
services are performed within New York State, or if the services
performed outside this state are merely incidental (for example,
of temporary or transitory nature or consist of isolated trans-
actions) to the services performed within the state.

(b) If the conditions under (a) do not exist and if by applying
corresponding principles the employee is not properly classified

This is the third of a series of five articles on Unem-
ployment Insurance, presented in conjunction with coming
tests for positions in the Division of Placement and Unem-
ployment Insurance. Next week—Milion O. Loysen, Executive
Director, Division of Placement and Unemployment Insur-
ance, discusses the administration of New York State's law.

as belonging to another state, he is a “New York” employee it
some of his services are performed within New York State and

(1) If the employee's base of operations is within New
York State, or

(2) If there is no such base of operations, if the place
from which his services are directed or controlled is in New
York State.

It is obvious that very often considerable difficulties are en-
countered in the proper application of these provisions of the
law to given factual circumstances. It is just as diMcult, and
probably even more so, to determine in numerous cases whether
a person performing certain services is an “employee” or whether
he is an “independent person.” The correct finding is important
not only for the collection of contributions, but also for the pur-
pose of paying unemployment insurance benefits to a person who
is entitled thereto,

The provisions of the law establishing the conditions for eligi-
bility of employees to receive unemployment insurance benefits,
if otherwise qualified, and the rates and evaluation thereof have
recently been simplified considerably.

The law provides a “Base Year,” which controls the eligibility
requirements and the rates of benefits for a “Benefit Year,” The
“Base Year” is the calendar year and the “Benefit Year” consists
of the four consecutive calendar quarters beginning with April
lst after each “Base Year.” 3

The eligibility for benefits during a “Benefit Year,” in view of
the amount of wages paid to the employee during the “Base
Year” and the rate of the weekly benefit payments, are so inter-
related that they must be discussed in conjunction.

The law contains the following table, which enables the re-
quired determination:

Wages paid in highest
Quarter of base year.

B
Benefit rate,

Qualifying wages
in base year.

$43-171.99 $7 $175
172-194.99 8 200
195-217.99 9 225
218-240.99 10 250
241-263.99 ll 275
264-286.99 12 300
287-309.99 13 325
310-332.99 14 350
333 and over 15 375

Two figures must be known, namely the total wages paid to the
employee during the base year (Qualifying Wages in Base Year),
and the total wages paid to the employee in that calendar quar-
ter of the base year in which such wages were higher than in any
of the three other calendar quarters of the base year (Wages
Paid in Highest Quarter of Base Year).

WEEKLY BENEFIT RATE

- The first finding which must be made pertains to the potential
weekly benefit rate. This is necessary as the total amount of
wages required for eligibility differs, depending upon such rate,

After ascertaining the amount of the “Wages Paid in Highest
Quarter of Base Year” and selecting that line under Column A of
the table which is applicable to such amount, the weekly benefit
rate is given under Column B on the same horizontal line. If the
wages paid to the employee during the entire base year (all four
quarters) reach or exceed the amount given under Column C on
the same horizontal line the employee's eligibility is established,
The employee, if otherwise qualified, would then receive weekly
benefits for a maximum duration of 13 weeks during the benefit
year at the rate found previously.

In order to be qualified otherwise to receive benefits, the em-
ployee must show “total unemployment” during periods of seven
consecutive calendar days. Only such full seven days units are
considered in connection with benefit rights and constitute bene-
fit weeks. “Total unemployment” means that the employee suffers
total lack of any employment, together with the total lack of
wages while he is capable of and available for suitable employ-
ment, except that wages which do not exceed $3 for any such
seven days units shall be disregarded.

UNEMPLOYMENT MUST BE TOTAL

It will be noted that under the present law only total un-
employment is compensated and not partial unemployment,
Future amendment to the law may change this situation, Mean-
while the legislature has taken cognizance of the need for pay-
ment of benefits in spite of the limited earnings by virtue of part-
time employment in having enacted the above mentioned pro-
vision under which wages not exceeding $3 during a benefit week
do not bar the employee from qualifying for benefit rights in
such a case.

An employee, before actually receiving benefits for a week of
total unemployment, must, in each benefit year, go through a
“waiting period” of three weeks. Such three weeks need not be
consecutive. After three such weeks (each consisting of seven
consecutive calendar days) have expired, the employee receives
benefit payments for each additional week of total unemployment
up to a maximum of 13 such payments during a benefit year.

In some cases, a waiting period of 10 weeks applies instead of
the three weeks period. A 10-weeks waiting period is required if
the employee has lost his employment through. misconduct. in
connection with his employment, if he has made a false state-
ment to obtain benefits and if he has lost his employment because
of a strike, lockout or other industrial controversy, In the lattor

With the problem of select-
ing a new chief coming up, the
county court judges took a
hand in the situation. Last
October, they asked the State
Civil Service Commission to
select the new headman by a
promotional examination.

Various civic organizations im-
mediately took issue. “Nothing
doing,” they said. The probation
office, they argued, was not
noted for the brilliance of its
personnel, and the exam should
| be open to anyone on a competi-
tive basis.

Agree to Open Test

These protests were sufficiently
effective to compel a modification
of the first attitude of the judges.
They agreed to an open competi-
tive examination—but only for
Brooklyn residents.

The State Civil Service Commis-
|sion, anxious to obtain the best
quality Probation Officer, back the
view of the civic organizations, The
Commission has applied to Attorney
General John J. Bennett for in
opinion as to whether the tests might
|be made available to residents of the
entire city,
| One of the State commissioners,
|Howard P. Jones, expressed himself
bluntly on the subject:
| “I am inclined to view the office
as a city-wide one, because the
|county court personnel is paid out
jof the city budget. In addition, 1
feel that, in view of the investiga-
tions into that bureau and their re-
jsut, it is more intelligent to widen
the field of the examination as much
as we can, so that there need be no
question of further unpleasant de-
velopment in the probation depart-
ment there,
| “Besides, we may expect other
|such openings to fill. The chief pro-
|bation officer in Queens will reach
70 this year, and his place must be
filled. It makes sense to save money
by giving one city-wide examination
and establishing a list which can be
used for all similar vacancies.”
There the issue hangs. ‘The county
court judges haven't given up the
fight. Both sides are waiting for
Bennett's decision.

BROOKLYN POLITICAL PUZZLE

Out of the murky waters of Brooklyn
situation that roused tempers to fever heat.

A $6,500 job is vacant: that of Chief Probation Officer for
held until his death by Joseph F. Tevlin.

Brooklyn’s Probation Department is a dirty mess, claimed a report submitt
by Agnes C. Sullivan, department investigator. Someone in the department edit
that report because it said, among other things, that most of
employees held their jobs because of political connections,

politics there emerged, last Week,

Kings County,

the departmenys

Republican.

Senator Desmond described the
bill, in a statement yesterday to The
|LEaper, as a means of providing
| “protection trom political exploita-
tion for laborers seeking State jobs
|and prevention of riots and needless
| hardship to job-hungry applicants
for labor positions in the New York
City Civil Service.”
| Lottery to Be Public
| «°° "Sil", Desmond stated, “pro-
| vic .s that labor positions in the State
| service shall be transferred from the
| exempt or patronage class to a new
|Jabor class to which appointments
|shall ha ---de by lot conducted in
public.” It would, he added, allow
the New York City Civil Service
| Commission to select laborers by its
|present “first-come, first-served”
|method, and additionally by lottery
in certain cases,

“This bill,” Senator Desmond ex-
| plained, “is the first to be introduced
|in any State legislature to authorize
| selection of laborers by lot, Because
|the method fs untried, I thought it
|best to make its use optional rather
than compulsory for both the State
and New York City, The bill was
prepared with the cooperation of
Commissioners Paul J. Kern and
Wallace S, Sayre of the New York
City Civil Service Commission, and
|H. Eliot Kaplan, executive secretary
of the Nat{onal Civil Service Reform
Irene which draft.d the model
State Civil Service law.”

GOOD GIRLS HELP THEMSELVES

New York City's Streamlined Policewoman Eligibles Band
Together to Protect Their Sex From Rush-Hour Romeos;
They'll Provide Themselves with Good Jobs in the Bargain

IRT and BMT said they had insufficient
funds to enlarge their polices forces,
They tried to explain why records in the
Eight Ave, lines were better,

The city-owned lines are supplied di-
rectly by the Police Dept. with a

Captain and three Lieutenants, who su-
pervise a force of 162 special patrolmen,
They all come from Civil Service lists,
Regular Police Dept. members are
allowed on the IRT and BMT lines (pri-
vate property) only in emergency. The
Transit Commission’s control over the

The sky’s the limit—and this gal is on
her way. It may look silly, but it all
helps to make a good Policewoman,

lines amounts to a demand that they
take “reasonable care” for the safety of
their passengers.

For safety sake, the IRT employs 107
Special patrolmen, the BMT, 81, Each
has the services of 25 plainclothesmen,
Some of them are stationed at regular
posts, others having roving assignments.

Becoming a Policewoman

The Policewoman eligibles think that
the facts and figures show a woeful lack,
This is where they come in,

When the 5,254 girls took the exam on
May 21, 1938, they were given great em-

Photos by Karston—FPG

Subway cars are probably too cramped for such gymnastics, but they certainly

limber up a girl.

A couple of months of this, and a masher would do well

to wait for the next train to try his tricks,

ployment hopes. The original adver-
tisement said, “This list will also be cer-
tifled as appropriate for other positions
requiring women of a high degree of
physical ability and mental alertness.”
They were considered members of a sis
ter group to the Patrolman, P. D. Special
Uist.

Requirements were definite. A can-
didate had to be 1) between 21 and 29;
2) five feet 2 or above; 3) weigh 120
pounds or more.

“Physical ability” was tested by com-
petition in high jump, abdominal mus-
cle lift, grip test, squatting test, dumb-
bell lift,

One hundred questions faced them in
the written, The eight-page exam
folder probed them on political science,
mathematics, criminology, use of lan-
Buage; asked questions about propor-
tional representation, TVA, the State
constitution,

Lawyers, psychologists, nurses, danc-
ers, newspaperwomen were among the
candidates for the Policewoman jobs,
the best-paying posts ($2,000-$3,000)
that the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission offers exclusively to women,

Passing marks were gained by 308. All
but a dozen had college degrees (Hunter
led by an overwhelming majority), four
were members of Phi Beta Kappa, hon-

Policewomen learn the highways and by-ways of fingerprinting from a brother officer, It takes
brains to become an expert, hence the severe mental tests given to candidates,

orary scholastic society. Top of the list
was won by Olive J, Cregan, 22-year-old
music teacher, with a rating of 85.44.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs

Twenty have already been appointed
to Policewoman jobs, part of a force of
some 150 women who trap masher
shoplifters, pickpockets, fortune tellers,
and the like. Before joining, they took
a 60-day training course at the Police
Academy in Brooklyn,

Fifteen others on the list have scat-
tered positions in the Dept. of Correc-
tion and the Parole Commission, The
Civil’ Service Commission has promised
them jobs in various departments, con-
siders them a fine group of “lovely,
charming girls.” The girls themselves
have already applied for jobs in the
Board of Transportation and the Board
of Education,

Spearhead of this job-finding hunt is
the Policewomen’s Eligible Assn, Once
a month, 100 of those on the list gather
at Germania Hall, 15th St, and Third
Ave., to discuss problems, They're main-
ly interested right now in the DiGiovan-
na resolution, but committees are look-
ing elsewhere for jobs as well.

Leaders of the group are Evelyn Marie
Chambers, president; Dorothea Schmei-
sing, vice-president; Elsa Phillips, treas-
urer; Stephanie Harvath, secretary.
The president and secretary are already
Civil Service workers, want better posts,
Lawyer Rose Nussbaum Is chairman of
the contact committee, does some legal
work for the association,

Though they're on the lookout for
private industry jobs, the girls are
set on Civil Service posts, If anything
comes of the DiGiovanna dlution,
they may get their wish through the
back door. Special officers on the IRT
and BMT lines will automatically get
Civil Service status under unification,
along with trainmen and guards,

As Policewomen-to-be, they're out to
help themselves to jobs. As women,
they're out to help themselves also...
help women from the annoyances of
rush-hour Romeos,

CIVIL SERV

ICE SPORTS

Civil Service employees don't
work all the time—that’s why The
Leader this week inaugurates a new
column, Civil Service Sports.

Basketball

Basketball is a popular C. S. sport,
so let's have 2 look at that first.

Sixteen basketball teams are head-
ing down the homestretch in the
two Municipal League races. Hold-
ing to early predictions, the Police
and Fire teams are undefeated in
Class A—and they'll probably battle
for the championship game Feb. 20
in the Manhattan Opera House. A
second feature on that gala night
will be a game between the two
leading Class B teams, At this
writing it appears that either Pub-
lic Works or the Borough President
of Manhattan, who meet Feb. 10, will
play Public Works, Each of the
three teams has lost a game.

Incidentally, last Saturday Child’
Welfare tried an iron-man stunt and
dropped from a tie for the top-into
fourth place as a result, They met
and defeated Public Works 35-26,
and then attempted to come back 20
minutes later against the strong B. P.
of Manhattan five. Manhattan won
41-31. Other scores last week:
Purchase 76, Water Supply 37.

Bowling

An all-star bowling feature has
been assembled by the Mayor's
Committee on Athletic Activities for
2:30 next Saturday afternoon, The
five leading bowlers of the Municipal
League will meet the famed Lew
Marcus’ Metropolitan All-Star Team
—a team which can hit a two-game
2,000 when it's really hot.

Added feature will pit Mrs, Flor-
etta B, McCutcheon, one of the
country’s leading feminine bowlers,
against a Municipal expert not yet
named. The affair takes place at
Capitol Health Center, 1680 Broad-
way.

case, if the strike, etc., is terminated before the ten weeks have
expired, the normal three weeks period begins to run on the date
of such termination; but the total waiting period will neverthe-
less not exceed 10 weeks,

CLAIMANT MUST REGISTER

In addition to being eligible and qualifying otherwise, an em-
ployee claiming benefits must register with a local state employ-
ment service office, None of the above mentioned periods begins
to run until the date the employee has complied with such
registration requirements, After having thus registered, the em-
ployee must report at the office at regular intervals as directed.
His failure to do so suspends his benefit rights and no week for
which benefits would be payable otherwise is accumulated by the
employee for any week as to which he did not report,

An employee forfeits his benefit rights for the period of con-
tinuous unemployment if he refuses to accept an offer of em-
ployment for which he is reasonably fitted by training and
experience, except that such forfeiture does not apply if the
acceptance of the offered employment would require the em-
ployee to join a company union or would interfere with his join-
ing or retaining membership in any labor organization; if there
is a strike, lockout or other industrial controversy in the estab-
lishment in which the employment is offered; if the offered em-
ployment is at an unreasonable distance from the employee's
residence; if the travel expenses to and from the place of em-
ployment are substantially greater than incurred in his former
employment without provisions made by the prospective em-
ployer for reimbursement; and, finally, if the wages, hours or
other conditions in the offered employment are substantially Jess
favorable than those prevailing for similar work in the locality,
or are such as tend to depress wages or working conditions.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

City Commission’s Calendar

Seventeen-year-old Louis Feerstein will be
allowed to take the Sanitation Man test, the
Municipal Civil Service Commission ruled last
Thursday. The advertisement, it turns out,
set no minimum age limit, and young Feer-
stein will reach his 18th birthday before the
test is given.

Two years ago, the State Legislature passed
the Wadsworth-Livingston Act, prohibiting
age limits on all Civil Service exams in the
State except those calling for extraordinary
physical ability. The Commission poked fun
at the ruling for a while by referring to it in
advertisements immediately afterwards, soon
grew weary of the joke,

Education and labor laws set forth work-
ing-age minimums, and the Civil Service law
prohibits entrance into the service after a
certain age. The whole thing is really
academic.

No! Says Ordway —

Because of the widespread interest in the problem of pub-
lishing federal eligible lists, The Leader asked Samuel H. |
Ordway, Jr., former member of the United States Civil Serv-
tve Commission and the New York City Civil Service Com- |
mission, to write an article explaining why these: lists remain
unpublished. During the time he served on the U. S. com-
mission, Ordway made a special study of federal eligible lists
and the reasons for and against publishing them. The results
of this survey are set forth in the following article.

Agitation for publication of federal eligible registers
comes largely from residents of the State of New York
where local commissions have long published their

Publ isters is belieyed by some to be the best
assurance against “manipulation” of registers—that is
proper certification of names or “juggling” ot order of s
ing

‘The federal commission 1
lish ils registers, but it hi

ing.

Agitation for publication of registers is encouraged by the
+ that a person whose relative standing may haye been,

always answered inquiries made
seeking to know his current stand-

say, twelfth on a given register in January is informed the
following June that his standing has become twenty-th
Hasty conclusion suggests that here is proof of “juggling

While serving

as federal commissioner, 1 made a full report
“ ation of federal
ort set forth ma why the federal
commission has refu registers. My belief is
that the reasons are sufficient because I think the disadvan-
tages outweigh the advantages,

The first disadvantage is the great expense of publication,
The federal 5 it maintains approximately 1,500 dif-
ferent current reg Over 840,000 eligibles have passed
examinations in the last three years, If the names and stand-
ing of all these should be published, two names on a line, 42
lines on a page, it would require 10,000 pages in all,

If only new lists were published it would take six 500-page
volumes each year. This would cost the taxpayers a chunk
of money simply to reassure “doubting Thomases” who can
obtain their standings at any time by writing the proper com-
mission offi

Such volumes would be of no value soon after publication
because of constant changes in relative standings caused by
federal legal requirements wholly unrelated to the number of
appointments made.

Every register must be reopened quarterly and at the head
of the list the names of all disabled veterans who have ap-

| gardles

plied for an equivalent examination during the quarter and {

received a rating of 60 or better must be added.

For some positions, hundreds of disabled veterans may be
added every third month, thereby lowering the relative
standing of others who were approaching the top of the list.
I believe this privilege to disabled veterans works a great
hardship on non-disabled veterans and non-yeterans alike.
But it will be changed only if there is sufficient pressure
brought on the President and on Congtess.

cee

Next, wholesale changes in relative standing occur each
time a State, in excess of its apportionment, falls below its
quota. The names of all eligibles from a State in extess
appear at the foot of the register, but when a State changes
from excess to arrears, all its eligibles are restored to their
original rank on the registers. Thus, overnight, relative
standing may change hundreds of places,

On June 30, 1938, Massachusetts had exactly its quota of
employees in the service and all Massachusetts eligibles, re-
of earned rating, were placed at the foot of registers.

before a large gathering of Post Of-
fice Letter Carriers at the Knights
of Columbus Hall in Brooklyn,

Senator Mead, for many years
chairman of the House Post Office
Committee and now a member of
|the Senate Post Office Committee,
recommended that legislation be en-
acted to°provide for: 1) orderly pro-
motions within the service; 2) a
Board of Appeals to hear grievances
of employees; 3) extension of the
Civil Service to all permanent gov-
ernment agencies; 4) pay increases
to senior employees for their long
jand faithful service; 5) elimination
lof age discrimination against appli-
cants for Civil Service positions,
making mental and physical qualifi-
cations the basis for selection of per-
sonnel.

Senator Mead had high praise for
|the Civil Service in general and the
postal service in particular. The
latter he called a “prime example
jot diligence, courtesy, competence
and efficiency in public service.”
