Special to The LEADER:

WASHINGTON, March 8. — A complete revision of the
Federal classification act, with the elimination of all subdi-
visions into services, recommended by the U.S. Civil Service
Commission in its annual report and approved by President
Truman, is headed for enactment. It includes many of the
changes that various members of Congress themselves re-
quested, and is of a non-partisan nature. The Republican ma-
jority is expected to g6 along with it.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

The Public
Employee

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

HE Civil Service Commission has announced that it

will make a determined effort to catch up with its
arrears accumulated during the war and post-war years.
The Commission has been given an appropriation of
nearly $1,500,000 for 1948-9, an increase of about $322,-
000 for additional staff, particularly in the Examinations
Divisi

on.

The backlog is represented by more than 10,000 State
positions vacant or filled on a temporary basis, and sevéral
thousand additional vacant positions in local jurisdictions
for which the Commission must hold examinations. To
this backlog must be added of course the normal work-
load of examination and personnel management for the
year which requires the services of the entire present staff
of the department,

“The result of the larger appropriation,” says Presi-
dent J. Edward Conway, hould be a marked reduction
in the number of vacant positions and the replacement of
thousands of temporary workers by appointees from lists.
We hope . . . to accelerate eve phase of our program
so that w n cut down the period of time between
an examination and the establishment of the eligible list.”

Recruitment Is the First Stage

The first stage in the filling of jobs is recruitment.
Recruitment directly from the Colleges for a variety of
junior professional positions is, we think, desirable. We
do not, however, see any advantage in limiting eligibility
to these examinations to the present crop of graduates.
They should be open to all who can meet the educational
and training requirements essential to the job. What
really is new in the plan is that undue emphasis on ex-
perience in the entering grade of positions is eliminated
for the first time. It was the experience qualifications
more than any other factor, that debarred the college
graduate from State jobs.

Examination technique doubtless can be improved all
along the line. Intelligence tests and aptitude tests are
valuable as parts of an examination. The danger is that
teo much reliance be placed on such tests.

The Schools and Colleges where the mental tests are
the most widely used, employ them to exclude the prob-
ably unfit rather than as a complete index of unusual
ability. Their examinations of students for promotion and
graduation are something entirely different. Examinations
for professional licenses issued by the State are even
farther removed from abstract intelligence testing. They
seek not an index of potential capacity but a searching of
the contents of each mind.

Paradoxically enough the Civil Service generally claims
that testing is impossible or impractical in certain areas
where it is in fact most easy, particularly in the skilled
and semi-skilled trades,

Should Keep Ahead of Needs

We agree with Judge Conway that the business of the
State depends on an active and able Civil Service Depart-
ment which we think must be not only abreast of current
needs but always a step ahead of such needs.

Nothing reduces efficiency and morale as much as a
breakdown in the work of the State Civil Service Depart-
ment. Nothing will operate to improve the efficiency and
morale of all State employees as much as the realization
of the plans of the Commission to wipe out arrears and
to get on with the job.

Dannemora Employes
Decry Treatment

Special to The SBADEP

DANNEMORA, March 8.—The
Dannemora State Hospital Chap-
ter of The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, charges that the
Dannemora and Matteawan Crim-
inal Hospital attendants are re-
ceiving “shabby” treatment. How-
ard J. St. Clair, president of the
chapter, has made public a letter
sent to members of the Legisla-
ture asking for support of the
Hatfield-Pitzpatrick bill, which
provides that all attendants in
such institutions be reclassified
to the competitive class, Incum~-
bents would be retained without
examination and receive the same
Pay as prison guards.

Attendants guarding insane
criminals at Dannemora and Mat-
teawan receive salaries conside:
ably lower than those of employ-
ees performing similar duties in

Dannemora employees maintain.
Clinton County representatives
have been supported in their ef-
forts by the legislators from the
Matteawan district. The Budget
Director holds that the salary
scale should lie between the scales
for Mental Hygiene hospital at-
tendants and those for prison
guards.

Legislators Invited

The letter of the Chapter point-
ed out that if it were possible for
the legislators to come to the
institution and see for themselves
the type of inmate and the work
performed by the employees of
the Dannemora State Hospital,
they would recognize that the du-
ties and responsibilities are. even
greater than those of Prison
Guards.

The Association called attention
to the fact that “We have the
same responsibility for the care of
these criminals while they are in
this institution as occurs in
otber correctional institution. In
addition to the felons convicted
of ordinary crimes, we receive and
care for criminals who have been
condemned to death, and who
Ihave been found to be insane
while in the death house at Sing
Sing Prison. It is our responsibili-
ty to guard and care for these
men until such time as their men-
tal condition permits their being
returned to the Death House.
These convicts are brought to us
from a prison by prison guards
who receive a greater salary than
we do. We guard these men dur-

Employees Association, and Janet
and chairm of the social com-

sary reliance upon his subordi-
nates. He singled out two mem-
bers of his own administration
for special mention, as examples
of his thesis.
Said the Chief Executive:
“I want to make a perfectly
frank confession. Government is
the biggest business in the world,
even in a free country which be-
lieves as thoroughly as we do
in free enterprise. Government is
so big that I don’t know anyone
bright enough to run it if he were
running it himself. No one can
know all about the thousands of
problems that hit the head of
State. I don’t know if we should
shore up the walls of the canal at
Syracuse. I don't know who really
can give us that information un-
less it’s the district engineer who
works there. I don’t know if we
need a hatchery in Cortland Coun-
ty, and Conservation Commission-
er Perry Duryea doesn’t know.
And so with 10,000 other prob-
lems of Government today.
“It is elementary philosophy of
overnment that you can’t any
longer select people to run the
government on the basis of per-
sonality or knowledge alone. You
have to rely on the quality of the
people you elect.
Lauds Breitel, Burton

“You see, today government
isn’t given to you by the men you
elect to office. You think it is,

isn't done by the elected officials.
Government is too complicated.”
The Governor paid tribute to
Charles Breitel, his Cotinsel, and
to Budget Director John Burton,
as invaluable aides in the achieve-
ment of the State’s work. He said |
bluntly: “John Burton is entitled |
to more credit than I am for the
pay raise.”” |
14,200,000 Bosses
The Governor talked of some
of the wearying matters facing
a man in his office,
“You think it is terrible that
you've got two or three bosses,
How wonderful it must be when
you're Governor—no bosses. Well,
it ain’t.” Dewey placed sharp em-
phasis on the vernacular verb.
“The higher up you go, the more
bosses you have. You think you
have bosses? I have 14,200,000 of
them, and every one of them con-
siders it his constitutional duty
to write me a letter, raise hell,
and expects me to answer it!

“And that’s only part of the
stoty, Twenty-nine heads of your
departments and divisions—each
one thinks he knows more about
his department than you do, and
he’s right.

“The more bosses you have the
more work you do and the shorter
your life is.”

Placing a piece of cellophane

this suggestion.

Mechanical Posting
A procedure for multiple post-

keeping machine. The suggested
procedure is much simpler than
that offered by the representative
of the machine company inasmuch
as it docs not require constant
mechanical changes, The depart-
ment has instituted the simplified
method in all district offices where
such bookkeeping machines are
used. According to a report from
the Chief Accountant the sug-
gested method is superior to that

advanced by the company.

Income Tax Method

notices to delinquents show the
basis for computing the penalty

STATE AND COUNTY NEWS

Civil Service Bilis That

EDITORIAL

These are the bills that must be passed in Albany.

With the Legislature scheduled to finish its session
next week, a number of important civil service bills must
not be lost in the shuffle. Many good bills have been intro-
duced to expand the welfare of employees and the workings
of a smooth merit system. The bills listed below are far
from a complete list—but they deserve the urgent attention
of the legislators.

5. Armory Employees (D)

Intro. Print Committee Action
No. No. Intro. By
Senate 1112 1157 Hammond Finance
Assembly 1932 2034 Doige ‘Ways and Means

Assembly 2066 2186 Radigan Ways and Means

Amends military Jaw generally with respect to salary, titles and
working conditions of employees in buildings under control of adju-
tant-general, These employees have received no consideration since
their salaries were first established in 1924, They are on a per diem
basis and under titles which are not descriptive of their present du-
ties. The bill proposes to set up their salaries on a per annum basis
with minimum and maximum, to change the titles, and to define
their working conditions.

6, Dannemora and Matteawan
399 399 Hatfield Finance
Assembly 392 392 Fitzpatrick Ways and Means

Provides, effective October 1, 1948, all attendants in such institu-
tions shall be reclassified to competitive class, incumbents to be r¢
tained without examination, and receive same pay as prison guar
and other officers in prisons in Correction Department. Appropriates
$95,000,

UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE z

20, Employees of Political Subdivisions (D)
Labor Amended Feb. 9

Amended Feb. 4

Senate 13:

Halpern
Assembly 1539 Labor
2272 Gugino

Extends unemployment insurance coverage,to employees of all
political subdivisions of state, which elect to assume such coverage.
Cost to be borne by such political subdivisions. This bill will bring
the other public employees in political subdivisions under the unem-
ployment insurance coverage now provided for State employees. It
is a measure which has had popular support in the political subdi-
visions and one in which the employees in those subdivisions are
very interested.

21, Armory Employees (
Senate 1322 1991 Halpern Labor Amended Feb. 17
Assembly 1539 2272 Gugino Ways & Means Amended Feb. 18
Extends unemployment insurance coverage to employees in Divi-
sion of Military and Naval Affairs. These employees are now excluded
since they are, under the constitution, in the unclassified service of
the State. The cost of including them is low and even though they
are employed in the Division of Militaryand Naval Affairs, their duties
are comparable to those of civilian employees in other parts of the
State service having similar jobs.

FELD-HAMILTON AMENDMENTS

25. Increment Credit for Temporary & Provisional Service (D)

Senate 1242 1294 Erwin Civil Service
Assembly 1460 1493 Lupton Civil Service

Extends provisions of present law until April 1, 1949. Provides for
increment credit for service in temporary or provisional appointment
after permanent appointment to same or similar position. This bill
seems assured of passage: State employees are vitally interested in its
extension.

28. Revolving Fund (D)

Senate 1878 2060 Anderson Public Service
Assembly 1467 1500 Ostertag Ways and Means

Brings employees of Revolving Fund of Public Service Commis-
sion under Feld-Hamilton. This bill was passed last year but vetoed
by the Governor on the ground that last year’s bill did not exclude
seasonal, part time and temporary employees of the Fund, The pres-
ent bill remedies that error and would correct a long-standing
grievance in that the employees of the Revolving Fund, even though
the law preserves the fiction that they are contract employees, are
actually full time State employees working on an annual basis.

RETIREMENT BILLS

32, Purchase of Additional Annuities

Senate 1812 1957 Campbell Pensions
Assembly 2199 2340 Noonan Ways and Means

Authorizes employees to make additional contributions to the
Retirement System for the purpose of producing increased annuities,
The contributions are limited to 509% of the normal contribution
and would be payable on only. the first $7500 of salary, Teachers
are agitating for a similar provision in their own retirement system,
and if sufficient pressure is brought to bear, the bill may be reported
out, The bill also provides that regular interest be paid on the ad-
ditional contributions.

83, Minimum Retirement Allowance (D)

Senate 1303 1355 Campbell Pensions
Assembly 1617 1663 Noonan Ways and Means

Provides, by fixing minimum pension part, for a minimum retire-
ment allowance of $1,200 after 30 years of service. This bill provides
that the State would contribute a minimum of $30 a year to the
pension part of the retirement allowance for each year of service
up to 30 years, This would result in a pension of $900 which, when
added to the annuity part contributed by the employee over a
thirty-year period, would produce a minimum retirement allowance
of $1200 per annum,

34. Commission t Study Retirement Liberalization (D)

Senate 567 572 Anderson Finance
Assembly 623 627 Ostertag Ways and Means

Creates a commission to study working conditions in public em-
ployment affecting retirement age and to study Civil Service Law to
determine cost of lower retirement age, minimum pensions, and
other liberalization, Appropriates $50,000. This is a sound bill and
would permit an independent analysis of the Retirement System,
an analysis in which The Civil Service Employees Association would
undoubtedly participate,

‘3 35. 55-Year Retirement (D)

Senate 1684 1795 Hollowell Pensions
Assembly 1848 1935 Noonan Ways and Means

Authorizes pve member of Retirement System to elect to retire
at age 55 with additional cost divided equally between employee and
employer, This bill would be a partial answer to all the demands
for retirement after 25 years of service. Under the present 55-year
pension, the extra cost is borne entirely by the employee and, par-

low-paid employee cannot carry. The proposal is eminently fq)
that the employee would pay 50% of the increased cost and via
be in a position to retire at age 55, The bill will be opposed Wild

CIVIL SERVICE BILLS
55. Create Machinery for Negotiation and Settlement
Problems in Public Employment (D)
Senate 325 1022 Desmond * Finance
Assembly 367 367 Davidson Ways and Means
Creates a public employment labor relations act; provides m™
ods for consultation and negotiation of questions arising ij
public employment. This bill would set up a State agency to whi !
negotiations arising out of questions in public employment, could sa
referred for recommendation. Its provisions would be availab|

Increment Credit for Temporary or Provisional Service — pp)
Senate 2102 2323 Mitchell. Finance DFU,
Assembly 2555 2766 Lupton Ways and Means

Treats Federal service in USES in temporary or Provisio
capacity as State service upon appointment to same or similar
sition in DPUI. This bill is of vital interest to employees o,
USES who are in the non-federalized category. State employ?
last year were protected by the provisions of the so-called Lupine
which provided that any State employee who recelved a permusitt
appointment to a position which he had held temporarily on a
visionally, would be entitled, on such appointment, to retain is
increment credit which his years of service as a temporary :
provisional had earned. In other words, upon permanent api
ment, the incumbent did not have to go back to the mininic
There was no such provision in section 641 of the Labor fu”
the so-called Condon Law—and this bill amends the Condon Aq
to give the same right to employees coming into DPUI from the Usta

63, Removals—2 Year Limitation (D)

Senate 1224 | 1276 Fine Civil Service
Assembly 1533 1578 Foy Civil Service

Provides that removal proceedings must be brought within 9
years after misconduct or incompetence charged; in cases of fraud
jor crime, 2 years after discovery thereof. This bill has an sxc.
chance of passage and has already passed the Senate and {s in itt
Assembly Civil Service Committee, It is manifestly unfair to hi’
ho statute of limitations with respect to the time in which chan
can be brought on two 3 years should certainly permit the appointing

65. Appeals—Power To Reinstate (

Senate 1604 1713 Manning Civil Service
Assembly 1461 1494 Lupton Civil Service

Empowers Civil Service Commission to order reinstatement
dismissed employees. This bill has an excellent chance of pass
was vetoed last year, without opinion, by the Governor. It
ridiculous that the Commission,
the charges against an employee should not be sustained, is powers
less to order his reinstatement to his ‘former position, This. bil
would confer that power on the Commission.

neer in the Department of Public
Works at Albany, has been grant-
ed a cash award of $50 and a
Certificate of Merit by the Merit
Award Board in recognition of a
suggestion.

He proposed that right-of-way
parcels be referenced from the
center line of the highway, rather
than from the base line or the
original side lines. According to
the Department of Public Works,
the suggested procedure will pro-

ide a more accurate permanent

rd and will effect considerable
in the process of acquisi-
tion of land needed for construc-
tion. Property owners will also
benefit, since location of their
roperty lines adjacent to the
ighway will be simplified.

hearing stenographers from the
various departments.

William F. McDonough, Execu-
tive Representative of the Asso-
ciation, said:

“This hearing is of great impor-
tance because classification is of
vital importance to any sound
plan of personnel administration.
Classification, involving as it does
the statement of duties and re-
sponsibilities of each position to-
gether with the necessary quali-
fications of the incumbent, is used
in determining the departmental
organization, the basis for civil
service examinations, and the fix-
ing of salaries by the Salary Stan-
dardization Board. It is of tre-
mendous importance that the
specifications for the positions
involving the taking and tran-
scription of hearings be truly de-
seriptive of the high degree of
ability and high character of the
men and women now in service

cabled veterans.

Sanitation Man (B) List
To Be Exhausted Fast;

New Exam

(Continued from Page ‘1)

In addition to all the foregoing
jobs, Sanitation Commissioner
William J. Powell has requested
2,000 more jobs, Classes B and C,
about 50-50, in the 1948-9 budget,
now under consideration, Budget
Director Thomas J, Patterson has
not yet indicated what will be the
action on this request, but
it was learned that Commissioner
Powell will get additional men,
number not yet determined. If he
gets all that he asks, the Sanita-

tion Man (B) job-filling, both
budgets, would reach 4,316, since
promotions also leave original en-
trance vacancies, Besides, deaths,

resignations and retirements
would bring the te number of
vacancies and replacements, Sani-
tation Man (B), to 5,000 by the
end of the next fiscal year. Th
pending eligible list will have
about 5,000 names, Therefore not
only will all eligibles receive job
offers but the list will be exhaust-
ed by June 30, 1949, at the latest,
requiring that a ne fon
be held early enough to avoid any
non-exister

anitation Offic

‘The situation in the Sanitation
Department is one over which
both Mayor William O'Dwyer and
Commissioner Powell are di
concerned, bi e the re
snowstorms caused many provi-
sionals to quit, especially those
who had failed the Class B exam-
ination or hadn’t even taken it
and thus knew they would not
get permanent jobs, That left the
department with a serious man-
power shortage, The department
is getting a lift because of new
trucks now arriving, About 25
have been delivered and they are

now being received at the rate of

faster and have greater body ca-
pacity, All told, there would be
finally about 170 new trucks,
Andrew W. Mulrain, Assistant
to the Commissioner, has been in
close conference with Commis-
sioner Powell on the manpower
situation every day ‘or the past
several working days. Also, City
Superintendent Charles J, Lab-
don, under Mr. Mulrain’s instruc-
is, has been keeping a close
watch on the manpower situation,

Assistance From McNamara

President Joseph A. McNamara
of the Civil Service Commission
reselved a request from Commis-
sloner Powell to expedite the pro-
mulgation of the Sanitation Man
(3) list and promptly and enthus-
fastically agreed. It is expected
that the eligible list will be pub- |
lished by April 1. All parts of the
mination have been completed,
and the only hitch is the proc
ing of veteran preference cla
In this connection, special speed
is being sought from the Veterans
Administration, which has co-op-

erated whole-heartedly wiih the
city in its problems concerning
getting preference claims through

fast enough to enable the city to
mee‘ its recruitment and promo-
tion needs.

There is also a Sanitation Man
(C) promotion list to be promul-
gated and this is expected some-
time after the Class C list is es-
tablished,

The filling of the large number
of vacancies in Class B will pre-
sent a problem, but the list is
large and preferencé delays be-
cause of inability to get all the
source information on each and
every eligible in time may _ be
minimized, Budget Director Pat-
terson is studying this aspect. The
method heretofore used was to
leave enough “holes” in the list
of eligibles certified, to permit the
later appointment of any prefer-
ence claimants, should their
claims, although now among the

delayed ones, finally be granted,

Three hundred more eligibles

Police Department, were sworn in
last Friday at Police Headquarters
by Chief Clerk Vincent B, Finn,
leaving 919 vacancies still to be
filled under the present quota.

The new appointees will receive
their training at the Police Aca-
demy, where 438 others were
graduated recently on completion
of their probationary period.

Appeal Is Argued
In Sergeant Exam

Arguments were heard in the
Appellate Division last Friday in
the appeal from Supreme Court,
Justice Dineen’s decision in the
proceedings brought by George
Blumenthal and 10 others, direct-
ing the Municipal Civil Service
Commission to select the one best
answer to each of nine of the
questions in the Police Sergeant
promotion examination. Severat
optional answers were given as
correct for the nine. The Com-

,| mission also was ordered by Spec-

ial Term to refrain from certifica-
tion.

Declaring that the court did not
want to disrupt standard examin-
ing methods or interfere with the
technical judgment of the commis-
sion experts, Justice Dineen had
said: “The privilege is still with
the commission to select. the best
choice in their discretion.”

provisionals and vacancies, it is
expected that the ‘solution will be
easier than in the case of appoint-
ments and promotions from small-
er lists, since the rate of appoint-
ment will be at 600 a month, and
it would take three months to
replace the provisionals and fill
the budget vacancies.

Department Offers Opportunity
The appointment and promo-
tion possibilities in the depart-
ment always have turned out bet-
ter than advertised. In fact, des-
pite the arduous nature of the
work, the prospects of rising to
supervisory and even executive
Jobs offers a strong incentive to
those who really study the situ-
ation, and are better than those
in nearly any other NYC depart-

from the new list for Patrolman, |

The rating in the Auto Engine-
man written examination is pra
|tleally completed and the NYC
Civil Service Commission has
drawn a rating scale and is “plac-
ing” the rating, or applying the
scale, to see how many eligibles
j would be produced, The number
would have to be large enough to
meet the needs of the service for
the four-year legal life of the
list, under the new policy of
avoiding unnecessary repetition of
examinations.

The Auto Engineman examina-
tion caused some confusion when
a notice appeared on the examina-
tion paper to the effect that each
wrong answer would be counted
as two wrong answers, An extra
penalty on wrong answers is not
junusual, to avoid or minimize
the effect of guessing, but not to

Civil Engineer Jobs
Are Open in Queens

Progress on preparation of plans
for 300 sewer and street improve-
ments approved by the Queens
Local Board of Improvements may
be hamstrung, said Borough Presi-
dent James A Burke unless he gets
candidates for 32 Assistant Civil
Engineer jobs in a hurry, The jobs
pay $3,770 a year total.

“We are very anxious to fill
these positions,” said Mr. Burke
‘because construction of these
sewers and street improvements is
vital to health and growth of the
borough. These projects were all
petitioned for by taxpayers and
we simply must get the men in|
order to expedite construction.”

Mr. Burke said that applicants
need not be licensed engineers to
qualify for some of the positions.
Most of the jobs are open to “good
design draftsmen and structural
designers,” he explained. An engi-
neer’s degree is not necessarily re-
quired if the applicant has the
equivalent practical experience.

He added that “a certain num-
ber” of Junior Civil Engineer jobs
are also open to applicants quali-
fied to do drafting work. These
carry a basic annual pay of $3,050
total.

Borough Secretary, Borough Hall,

Sislature should’ énact it this session,

calling for repeal of these provi-
sions, as a condition of an over-
all increase in pay. However, at
the time the increase was nego-
tiated, representatives of the ad-
ministration said they would con-
sider any reasonable alternative
plan which the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association would submit.

Delegates of the Association
representing institutions in all
parts of the State, have gathered
to thrash out the question, and
reached certain preliminary con-
clusions.

Seek Higher Grades

‘The meeting carried this reso-
lution unanimously:

“Resolved, that it is the firm
purpose of the Association to press
for proper salary reallocation and
reclassification to the end that
adequate salaries be provided for
Mental Hygiene, Health and other
employees affected, equivalent to
or greater than they now receive
in their total pay.”

This means, simply: If the haz-
ardous pay law is revoked, then
the employees want higher grades
for those who would otherwise be
eligible to receive it.

Freezing the Extra Pay

In order to protect the extra
pay of those now receiving it, the
delegates asked their officers to
approach the administration with
this plan:

“Resolved, that the Association
go into conference with the ad-
ministration and request that the
hazardous pay be frozen for those
who are now getting it as an im-
mediate objective of the Associa-
tion.”

‘This means: Those now receiv-
ing hazardous-ardous pay will not
be deprived of it, if the Associa-
tion can convince the administra-
tion to go along with it,

Dr, Frank L. Tolman explained
to the delegates that the meeting
was called in order that the offic-
ers of the Association might ob-
tain the best advice and sugges-
tions of the employees with refer-
ence to repeal of hazardous and
arduous pay, the bill for which is
now in the Legislature. He told
the assemblage that the officers
desired to have first-hand inform-
ation concerning the feelings of
the employees in this matter.

John T. DeGraff, counsel for
the Association, stated that the
organization had proposed every-
body in the departments con-
cerned be raised two grades, and
that the Mental Hygiene Depart-
ment is willing to recommend an
increase for everybody — in an
amount not as yet indicated.

The delegates were asked to
consider a number of proposals
for recommendation to the ad-
ministration. Among them were:

1. To improve the administra-
tion of the present plan »

Mr. DeGraff explained the ad-
ministration’s views concerning the
enormous complexities and diffi-
culties involved, and pointed out
that there was no basis for ac-
ceptance of this proposal.

2. To raise everybody’s pay by
reallocation. In T.B. hospitals, 98
per cent of the employees now re-
ceive hazardous pay. In the Men-
tal Hygiene Department, some 35

elegates Of Institutions Suggest
reezing Of Hazardous Pay

per cent of attendants, nurses and
other titles receive it.

The flaw in this plan, it was
Pointed out, is that while the
present hazardous pay setup costs
approximately $600,000, the pro-
posed change would cost between
3 and 4 million — a sum it would
clearly be impossible to get the
State to accept.

3. To freeze the hazardous pay
of those now receiving it, so that
if the proposals are repealed, no
hardship will be inflicted.

The delegates accepted the third
plan. Mr, DeGraff said that legis-
lation could be drawn up to fol-
low the pattern of the Feld-Ham-
ilton law, which provides that
where a title is reallocated down-
ward, the incumbent does not take
@ salary cut,

Higher Food Costs

John Fox, @ representative of
the Budget Division, also spoke
to the group, telling them of the
increase of maintenance costs for
institutional employees. A report
on increased costs of meals has
been drawn up. The cost of liv-
ing quarters and other services
was not taken up, however, and
Mr, Fox stated that probably no
increase will be made in these
items. The percentage of cost in-
crease in food consumption over
1942 Is:

The delegates agreed that the
Association's officers should give
careful thought to the problem
and make the best possible agree-
ment with the Budget.

Forty-one Fireman appoint-
ments, 14 promotions to Lieu-
tenant and 21 promotions to Cap-
tain, have been made by Fire
Commissioner Frank J. Quayle.

The appointments are in line
with a policy to bring the depart-
ment up to authorized strength
each month. It is estimated that,
with the latest appointments, ef-
fective March 1, about 200 names
remain on the current Fireman
list; hence, it is reported, all can
be expected to be reached by the
year’s end

The period for receipt of appli-
cations in the new Fireman ex-
amination ended recently, with
nearly 18,000 candidates applying.
The written test is scheduled ten-
tatively for Saturday, May 15. It
is hoped to publish the list be-
fore the end of the year, but at
present a gap of a month or s0,
between the exhaustion of the
present list and the announce-
ment of the new list, appears
likely.

UFA Committee
Sees Dewey on
Its Nine Bills

ALBANY, March 8.—Keen in-
terest and a promise of all the
cooperation within his power
marked a 40-minute conference
on Firemen’s legislation with Gov-
ernor Thcmas E. Dewey and the
Uniformed Firemen's Association
legislative committee, consisting
of John P. Crane and Gerard W.
Purcell, in the executive chambers.

During the interview Messrs.
Crane and Purcell outlined the
background which brought about
UFA sponsorship of nine bills on
firemen’s hours, wages and pen-
sion programs. Governor Dewey
commented favorably and ex-
pressed that there was real merit
in several of the bills. The Gov-
ernor admitted the need for such
remedial legislation.

“Seeing the Governor,” Mr.
Crane said, “was the final step
in the complex task attendant
upon new legislation. First, ap-
proval and support had to be
gained from the City Council and
then the Mayor. Armed with these
‘messages of necessity’ every ef-
fort was then made to acquaint
each individual legislator in both
houses with the background and
reasons for their approval. The
Governor was the fifth and final
step in our campaign.

“We believe in the correctness
and urgency embodied in each
bill. We will not rest until every
present inequity to Firemen is
remedied. There should not be
any discrimination against Fire-
men on working hours; his wages,
woefully inadequate in today’s
high cost of living, must be sub-
stantially increased if the high
morale of the Fire Department
is to be maintained; and the pen-
sion programs now in effect are
so inequitable that firemen are
suffering real distress.

“The job and the Department
fully meet our initial expectations,
but the hardships facing the home
life of each Fireman must be
overcome, It is asking too much
of anyone to do a 100 per cent
job when his mind is beset by
financial and family worries.

{A digest of the bills was pub-
lished in The LEADER last week,
issue of March 2.]

Prevailing Wage
And Inspector Pay
|Bills Are Signed

Governor Dewey has signed two
civil service bills dealing with pre-
vailing wages and inspectors.

One, the Fine Bill (S. Int. 168),
now Chapter 29 of the Laws of
1948, provides that municipal em-
ployees whose wages are fixed by
reference to prevailing rate de-
termined by final order shall not
be barred from right to recover
difference between amount actu-
ally paid and amount due, because
of prior receipt without protest of
wages paid.

The Condon-Wadlin Bill (S,
Int, 193 and A, Int. 389), repeals

{| Section 18A and 18B of the Labor

Law, and becomes Chapter 26 of
the Laws of 1948, The new law

*leliminates sections in the Labor

Law classifying salaries and grades
of certain inspectors in the Labor
Department, thus removing the
mandatory limit on their pay
formerly fixed under the Labor
Law.

Mitchell Bill
To Vets and

eects are two proposed veteran
ence amendments before the
bee lature, The first is Sen, Int.
2370, by Mitchell, which in sub-
stance provides that non-disabled
veterans are to have 5 points
added to their passing mark in
entrance examinations and 2%
points added to their passing mark
in promotion examinations. Vet-
erans disabled to the extent of
10 per cent or more are to have
10 points added to their passing
mark in entrance examinations
and 5 points added to their pass-
ing mark in promotion examina-
tions. Such added points shall not
be allowed after the veteran has
received one appointment or pro-
motion.

The second bill is Senate Int.
2259 (Condon), Assembly Int. 2680
(Austin), which provides that all
veterans shall have absolute pref-
erence in entrance examinations
until December 31, 1955, that
preference for disabled veterans
continue indefinitely, but provides
no preference in promotion exam-
inations for non-disabled veter-
ans,

The theory of veteran prefer-
ence is to give the veteran a job,
and, if he is already in civil ser
ice, give him some advantage in
promotion, but it is un-American
to put him in a privileged class
for all time. The Condon Bill pro-
vides pereference for all veterans
in entrance examinations only.
However, it also provides all-time
proierencs for disabled veterans
in promotion examinations, which
4s absolutely unfair to non-veter-
ans and non-disabled veterans.

Why Mitchell Bill Is Preferred

The Mitchell Bill is by far the
better, as it does something for
the non-disabled and the disabled
veteran in entrance and promo-
tion examinations, and does not
heavily handicap the non-veteran.
If agreed upon by all groups, and
if submitted to the people without
opposition, the veteran preference
situation would be settled for all
time and all animosity-and hard
feeling removed,

The Federal government has
been using the point system since
the first World War with good
results,

Because of my long association
with civil service, first as an em-
ployee, and for the past 35 years
in preparing persons for entrance
and promotion examinations, I
have acquired personal acquain-
tance with more than 50 per cent
of the civil service employees in

Those. interested in clan

groups: (1) The vete 4

veteran who does not want

Spread-out of Opportunity

The non-veteran is now prop,
tically excluded because the

and
non-disabled veteran is en,
by the disabled veteran,

stymied by the veteran,

men are now Teaching the ag
that makes them eligible for civ;
service and the number will in.
crease annually. All of them were
too young to enter the arma
service and, because of veter
preference, they will be exclud
from entering public employment
merely because they were boi
too late.

Women today occupy thousan
of civil service positions and oth:
ers are constantly seeking to en.
ter the service. Ninety-five pet
cent of them would be denied ai
opportunity for entrance or p
motion because of competitia
with veterans.

I believe"that veterans and non
veterans should come to an un:
derstanding on the terms of the}
proposed extension 50 that justice
will be done to all. Neither Li
will be favored by all groups, bi
we must realize that the aif
dum passed at this session of the
Legislature, if adopted by the peo-
ple, will last for the lifetime of
the present generation, A com-
promise is necessary and the
Mitchell bill achieves this with
fairness,
