for such a distinction.

The delegation also raised the
question of elimination of the
split shift in welfare institutions,
which resulted in many employees
actually working more than the
required 40 hours a week. The
split shift, in which an employee
works a portion of the day, then
takes several hours off, then re-
turns to the job, was described as
a hang-over which has no right

Senator Van Wiggeren, a former
County Clerk of Herkimer, stressed
the newly-won role of the public
employees in his area, stating
that he had not been in favor of
civil service and had accepted it
only when the law made it inevi-
table. He inferred that now the
officials were willing to share their
responsibilities with the employees.

Mayor Ramsey congratulated
the new chapter and, stating that
the members would have to take
over some of the officials’ respon-
sibility, asked for a good under-
standing of municipal problems.

: The Public
Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

President, The Civil Service Employees
Association, Inc., and Member of Em-
ployees’ Merit Awatd Board.

HONOR WHERE HONOR IS DUE

I HAVE often drawn courage and inspiration from cer-
tain rank-and-file members of our Association whom it has
been*my good fortune to know intimately.

I am thinking particularly of a former member of the
Association, no longer in State service. I shall call her
Miss X or Member 34671. I came to know her through her
deep interest in our Association and its work and potentials
for the common welfare of all public employees.

I found their interest stemmed from her real concern for
the happiness and life-satisfactions of her friends and as-
sociates, particularly those with whom she lived and worked,
Miss X had a deep sense of fairness and square dealing.
For this reason, the merit system deeply appealed to her.
She did not like pull and paternalism. She wanted for her-
self only a fair chance, and she thought others should want
no more. She was able to rejoice in advance for others
even though it meant hope deferred for herself.

No Illusions

Member 34671 had no illusions as to how far the actual
working of civil service fell short of the fundamental ideals
of the merit system. She felt that the blame justly lay for
the most part on the public employees who failed to realize
that civil service is what the civil service employee makes
it, and that the protection and expansion of the merit sys-
tem should be the first concern of every public employee.
This, she felt, could be obtained only by the working together
of all public servants in groups as active local chapters,
and as one big family in a State association devoted equally
to the public good.and the good of those who serve the public,

Responsibility On All

Member 34671 never held an office in her chapter or in
the Association. She preferred the honors to go to others,
if opportunity to do her full share of the hard work fell
to her lot. She liked the fanfare of trumpets if the chapter
or the Association received the honor, She wanted respon-
sibility to rest on individuals able to produce results, She
would pass the honor or honors around to everyone.

Member 34671 was not physically strong. She was not
overly ambitious for herself although she was ambitious for
her friends. Although she had an iron will, a Cromwellian
conscience and one of the finest minds I have ever met,
she was content to accept her physical limitations and to
find satisfaction in living creatively with her associates in
her small orbit of the big world.

Perhaps I have understated her personal ambition. She
did want to get ahead. She wanted to earn promotions and
she wished to make certain she was competent to do the
next job well. For this reason she was always bringing
educational opportunity to her bedside. Several universities,
radio and television were all pressed into service as in-
structors to give her the knowledge she coveted,

The Many Make It Great

I said that I learned much from many Miss X’s in the
Association. I learned that the many good members and
not merely the few leaders make the Association great. I
learned that there is a real pob in the Association for every
member, a job that only he or she can do and no one else
can do as well. I learned that the real satisfactions of life
are increased by everything we do for something bigger
than ourselves. Perhaps the greatest lesson of all was that
real greatness is something within you which no caprice
of fate can take away.

If ever the power and potency of every member is poured
freely into the Civil Service Employees Association to be
deyoted to the Public Service, and the people who serve
the people, the Association will be worthy of its Miss X’s,

of Supervisors have been fair in
the last thr ars about keeping
County salaries in reasonable
equality with those of comparable

. The present request is
uation of this fair deal-
ing. When emergency compensa-
tion was begun in Westchester in

1943 it was a general method of)

f-living adjustment in gov-

ntal employment. Major
units like the Federal Government,
New York State aud New York
City have since agreed that con-
ditions warrant merging all or
most of the temporary adjustments
into permanent pay. Westchester
employees are asking that their
Teasomable equality of pay be
maintained by doing the same.

The Difference

“Although some may have
thought that Westchester has been
liberal with its employees, the
facts show that merely fairness
has been shown them. The average
Westchester County employee's
pay in March 1949 was $3,206 a
year, of which only $2,420 is on a
permanent basis, the rest being
temporary adjustment. Average
Federal employee's pay was $3,600
(Dunn Survey) and the national
civilian average about $3200 (Sen-
H. F. Byrd), all on a permanent
basis, Figures submitted to the
supervisors by the Association
show that the total pay of the
average Westchester Couny em-
ployee is only about equal to or
below that of Federal, State and
New York City’ employees. How-
ever, while up to 62% of adjust-
ments have been made permanent
by these government units. West-
chester has only made a maximum
of 25% permanent. It is this dif-

ference we are working to correct?
‘Playing the Game’

“The members of the Association
are somewhat surprised to find
County officials quoted as refer-
ring to ‘playing the game.’ The
possible reduction of their take-
home pay is a very serious matter
to the average County Employee,”
said Mr, Cleary, “and they cannot
consider as a ‘game’ any threat
|to welfare of their families. They

cannot readily accept any pay
reduction in the face of recently
increased telephone bills and rail-
road and bus fares, and a gener-
ally rising cost of living.”

At a meeting last week, the
Westchester Board of Supervisors
reduced the emergency compensa-
tion from $795 to $725, in ac-
cordance with the U. S. cost-of-
living statistics, to which
| Westchester salary scales are tied.

A statewide examination for At-
tendant, to fill positions in the
Department of Mental Hygiene,
with higher minimum qualifica-
tions and higher pay than the
present $1,840, is being backed by
employees who are interested both
in recruitment for careers in the
department and in having the
pay more nearly reflect the value
of the duties and responsibilities.

Frederick J. Walters, 3d vice-
president of The Civil Service
Employees Association, is one of
the leaders in the movement to
have formal examination of ap-
plicants, the establishment of a
statewide eligibility list, appoint-
ments from the list by loca-
tion of residence, and the pub-
licizing of Attendant duties so
their value will be appreciated.

Credit for Education

At present the applicants are
given examinations at the in-
stitutions, but @ higher form of
examination is favored, with
credit for education, and an effort
| made to attract high school grad-
| uates, or holders of high school
equivalency diplomas.

Mr. Walters, who is a Supervis-
ing Nurse at Middletown State
Hospital, said that one of the
obstacles to attaining higher pay
scales has always been the claim
by the State that the entrance
requirements are so low that it
would be impossible to reconcile
them with higher pay. He points
out that the duties actually per-
formed by the Attendants on the
job as are easily reconcilable with
higher pay.

Judgment and Discretion

“The degree of knowledge and
ability required is higher than
most persons believe,” said Mr.
Walters. “The Attendant has to

sympathetic at all times, under
most trying conditions, To exer-
! cise such self-control is an
achievement in itself and should
be amply rewarded. The Attend-
ant has to put up with a certain
amount sof aggressiveness and
sharpness from patients without

be a guiding influence to them

their leader. Thus he has to
think for himself and for the
patients he serves, and, no two
are alike, which requires the ex-
ercise of sound judgment. He
has to think in two planes —
for the normal, himself, and for
the abnormal patient.

“Many persons think that any-
body may be a good Attendant,
but nothing could be farther from
the truth. Low minimum require-
ments tend to popularize the idea
that an Attendant doesn’t have
to know anything. But an Attend-
ant is constantly called upon to
use all his mental resources.”

Should Want to Stay

The department acquired a con-
siderable number of employees
during the depression, who turned
out to be of two different classes:
one, that used the job only as
a stop-gap, and left as soon as
a place in private industry could
be found; the other class, those
who remained, and who constitute
a pillar of the department today.

Mr. Walters added: “The posi-
tion should be made so attractive
that all able employees will want
to remain, once they start the
work. They should be taught that
they are occupying the first rung,
though an important one, in the
ladder that leads to advancement
in the State service.”

Determined Efforts

No State department has made
more determined efforts than has
the Mental Hygiene to improve
the services rendered to the
State’s wards, Modern therapists,
techniques and dietetics are pro-
gressively being applied, and the
Personnel of the department
recognize the progress that is
being made, and also the fact that
each of them ts being re-educated
or reorganized to keep pace with
progress. Consequently, more and
more responsibilities are being as-
sumed by all, and this is very
apparent to the new and old At-

resentment and, besides, he must,

A Decent Pension
System for Firemen

n NYC’s Fire Department there are three different re-

tirement systems. Of these, the men have the choice of
two, one having been applied only to men working in the
department on March 29, 1940, And of the two, they today
accept only one, considering the other a financial mon-
strosity. There is a discrepancy between the rates paid and
the protections enjoyed by the men employed in the same
occupation, undertaking the same obligations, and doing
the same work.

Nobody’s very happy about this setup.

The only system really available to the men — that known.
as Article 1 B — costs the City an enormous amount of
money, because it provides that future costs be met today.
It sets back the firemen 9 to 14% of their salaries, not
including widow protection; and if they want that, they
must kick in another 67%. 2

A man could be paying one-fifth of his salary for pension
purposes alone! 4

One of the three systems, not now open to the men, is
‘Article 1, which works on a “pay as you go” system, and
would cost the men 6% of their pay. At the same time,
because the City wouldn’t have to pay today for retire-
ments 20 or 30 years from now, it is estimated that great
jmmediate savings would accrue.

What the Firemen want is very simple: They say, open
up all three retirement systems to the men, and let them
select which they prefer, Z

The men have a good case. They have had _ their
figures checked by actuarial exper and have drawn up
legislation. The City should give the most earnest attention
to their claims.

Mental Hygiene Man
Writes Editorial

State Mental Hygiene Department employee sent us @
letter this week which we reprint in full because it
makes a fine editorial: : }

“In reference to the matter of instituting a meal ticket
system in State hospitals,” this employee writes, “I would
Jike to call your attention to the Dawson Report (that ex-
cellent report about which nothing or little has. ever been
done). "

wthe report commends ‘the establishment of cafeterias
to be managed by the Employees’ Association and to provide
food at cost.’ It also says that ‘such cooperatives have been
found to be particularly successful in some of the govern-
ment office buildings and war plants.’ F

“May I also call to your attention the fact that in NYC
hospitals one may purchase tickets to eat in the cafeterias
and dining rooms where one is seryed at a fee of 20¢ for
each meal, Competent dietitians make up menus which ,are
palatable, attractively prepared and well-balanced. Rarely
do they have two meals alike in a three-week period. People
pay for what they eat and never have to be charged for
meals when they eat away from the hospital.

“Why couldn’t the State Mental Hygiene Department
adopt or copy the same system?

“Why should it be permitted to allow discrimination in
not do away with this irritation? Why should employees
the type of food among those paying the same rates? Why
have to be away for seven consecutive days in order to get
a refund for meals? The most humble person who lives in
a sizeable community can go to a public cafeteria and choose

his background, his independence,

turn of mind.

Pecora, a nimble-minded, hard-

Mansion, Mayor O'Dwyer’s home,
many times during the past three-
and-a-half years. The Mayor,
humanly, would like to see him-

THE MAGNET

People generally expect something for their money.
About the only way to get them to invest their hard-
earned cash in a business is to offer them an adequate
return.

Good dividends act like a magnet to attract stock-
holders. Con Edison must earn enough to pay reason-
able dividends to get the new capital required to keep
up with the times. We can’t borrow it all.

Right now Con Edison is spending millions of dollars
a year on new equipment needed to keep pace with the
demand for more electricity and gas to run your wash-
ing machines, modern ranges, television sets and the
many other appliances that make life more pleasant.
So, to be sure that New Yorkers will continue to get
all the low-cost light, heat and power they want, more
and more everyday people must believe that Con
Edison stock is a good buy.

With money provided by investors we buy the new,
modern equipment needed both to expand service and
to make our operations more and more efficient’, That
is how we can make real savings for you.

So you can see why adequate electric and gas rates
are good business for everybody—consumer, employee
and investor. They enable us to pay good wages, meet
higher costs, and attract investors whose money is
needed to expand and improve our service to you.

During Termination Leave

ALBANY, June 13 — An im-
portant decision, affecting pay-
ment of unemployment insurance
benefits io State employees sep-
arated from service has been an-
nounced by the State Unemploy-
ment Insurance Appeal Board,

Held Eligible

The Board, on an appeal by
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation on behalf of Beatrice
Blitz, of Brooklyn, has adopted
the findings of the referee, who
held the claimant was entitled
to payment of benefits after her
separation from service, although
she was still carried on the State
payroll while using up accrued
Vacation time,

Earlier a local office of the div-
ision had held the claimant was
ineligible for benefits while she
was still receiving State funds for
vacation time on the ground she
was not totally unemployed.

A typist and temporary em-
Ployee of the Division of Place-

ment and Unemployment Insur-

ance, her services were termin-
ated on July 15, 1948,

On August 2, 1948, she filed an
application for unemployment
benefits, but was declared ineli-
gible through August 18, the date
her accrued vacation time was up.

Holt-Harris Handled Case

The refer decision, affirmed
by the appeal board, stated: “I
therefore, conclude that, notwith-
standing the fact that the fiscal
policies and practices of the State
require that the claimant’s sep-
aration date be made effective as
of August 18, 1948, she in fact
became unemployed, within the
contemplation of the Unemploy-
ment Insurance Law, on July 16;
and, hence, was totally unem-
ployed during the period here at
issue and accordingly eligible for
benefits, subject to insurance of-
fice records.”

An important victory for state
employees, the case was handled
by John Holt-Harris, assistant
counsel for the Association.

Sees Mayor's

,reer-Pay Plan ‘Great Aid’

, Civil Service

ment follows:

% Ci Service Technical
Guild has, since its inception,
watched with a vigilant eye all
matters affecting engineering,
architectural and inspection ser-
vice in New York City. It played
a large part in the reclassification
of the engineering and architect-
ural services, and is today ad-
vocating many corrective meas-
ures, including a reclassification
of general inspection service, in-
cluding architects and examiners
in the engineering service, as well
as a revision of the scientific ser-
vice, for chemists and others. Our
Proposals in the above connection
were submitted to the municipal
Civil Service Commission, the
Board of Estimate, and the Bud-
get Ditector, and we hope that
by July 1 of this year they will
be in effect.

Great Aid to Employees

“A job study to develop a
necessary reclassification in the
New York City civil service sys-
tem, if carried out on an ob-
jective basis, with capable per-
sonnel developing patterns and
Policies, will be a great aid to the
employees, the City and the Civil
Service Commission.

DeGraff’s Ability

“I have known John T. DeGraff
for 15 years, and have the great-
est respect for his ability as an
attorney, and his knowledge of
civil service law and civil service
procedures. I am sure he will
supervise the proposed job analy-
sis and reclassification in an ef-
ficient, impartial manner, and will
achieve, with the cooperation of
organizations such as the Civil
Service Technical Guild, a mod-
ern reclassification which will es-
tablish a real career salary plan
for New York City’s civil service
employees, Mr. DeGraff will have
the fullest cooperation of our or-
ganization, and the benefit of the
knowledge of our officers and
committees, who are experts in
the technical field.

“The Mayor is to be compli-
mented on his choice of Mr.

Dewey. An initial appropriation
of $150,000 is expected.

“One of Mr. DeGraff’s first
steps should be to retain specialists
on classification with technical
competence for a job intricate and
vast. An advisory board, to be
appointed by the Mayor, would be
helpful, both in guiding the study
and in making effective its find-
ings. Such a board might well in-
clude the City Budget Director,
the president of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission and rep-
resentatives of civic organizations
such as the Citizens Budget Com-
mission and the Citizens Union,
as well as civil service organiza-
tions. We congratulate the Mayor
on starting at last what looks like
the first authentic survey of its
kind in many years.”

Hope to Complete in Year

Mr. DeGraff, who has been
given a free hand by Mayor O’-
Dwyer to do a thoroughgoing job,
said last week it is his hope to
complete the task within a year.

Employee Cooperation Sought

Before beginning actual opera-
tions, he added, he would call in
the leaders of employee organiza-
tions for their views and advis
“At all stages of our operation,”
Mr. DeGraff said, “we expect to
work closely with the employee
groups in the City. I anticipate
the most cordial cooperation, be-
cause the results to be achieved
will mean a deeper sense of job-
security to the employees. We will
tell the public workers exactly
what we are doing and will wel-
come their suggestions and crit-
icisms. I look forward to real aid
in our work from employee com-
mittees.” In his interview with
‘The LEADER, the noted attorney
asked: “Please convey to the em-
Ployees that I jntend to call
them in just as soon as I get a
desk and some space for staff.”

He added that not a single
employee would lose a penny of
pay if the survey should find him
performing duties not up to his
grade or title. On the other hand,
where employees are found to be
performing more responsible work,
they will be accorded the title
and grade in line with their ac-
tual tasks.

The survey will have no effect
on any over-all changes in pay

lines are clearly delineated, they

Delehanty Offers Special
Steno and Typing Courses

The gradual tightening of the
employment situation in recent
months is making it increasingly
difficult for young people without
special training to obtain posi-
tions. High schools and college
graduates are finding that pros-
Ppective employers demand such
extra skills as stenography and
typewriting.

Ambitious youn men and
women faced with this problem
will be interested in an announce-
ment by M. J. Delehanty, direc-
tor of The Delehanty Schools, that
special brief, intensive summer
courses in stenography and type-
writing will be conducted in their
Manhattan and Jamaica schools.
The Simplified Gregg method will
be tauught in courses designed to
accomplish maximum results in
a minimum of time, They will
appeal to presént and prospective
college students as well as others
willing to utilize the vacation
period to qualify for well-paying
Positions in September.

In commenting on the new
courses, Mr. Delehanty said:
“There are probably no skills in
the business world of today that
are in greater demand at at-
tractive salaries than shorthand
and typing. Improved methods of
teaching now make it possible to
acquire employable proficiency in
a relatively short time if the
student applies himself diligently.
I am sure that the greatly in-
creased employment opportuni-
ties that these courses will open
to our students will more than
repay them for the time and
effort expended. Tuition rates are
moderate and include all neces-
sities text books and supplies.”

Enrollment is now open at the
schools at 115 East 15th Street,
Manhattan, and 90-14 Sutphin
Boulevard, Jamaica.

the principle of “equal pay for
equal work” prevails, Employee
morale is at a higher level and
government operations are more
effectively accomplished.

New York State’s Career and
Pay system came into operation
under Governor Lehman. Mr, De-
Graff drafted the State measure,
considered one of the best in the
world.

Plan Wins Praise

The Mayor's decision to set up
a@ real Career and Pay System
has been lauded by many sectors
of the’ community, Among those
who have praised the project are
John P. Crane, president of the
Uniformed Firemen's Association

tion; Herbert S. Bauch, president
of Clerical Union 1140, Depart-

No Fee for Famous Case

Mr. DeGraff, who has a long
history of achievement in behalf
of the merit system and gains for
public employees, was counsel to
the New York State Legislative
Commission which extended civil
services to the towns and villages.
His celebrated victory in the De-
Marco case recently, in which he
won what may amount to
$4,000,000 for 8,500 State em-
Ployees, was one of the most com-
plex civil service issues ever tried
—and Mr. DeGraff took the case
through to the Court of Appeals
without fee.

The Truly Handicapped Vet

The U. S. Veterans’ Preference
Act provides numerous benefits to
veterans, but not in this legisla-
tion, nor in the Civil Service Act,
nor in any Executive order, is
there any directive on the select-
ive placement of the veteran who
is physically handicapped. By
selective placement is meant the
thoughtful employment of a dis-
abled or physically handicapped
person in a job in which the work
demands do not exceed the in-
dividual's physical capacity.

In the absence of such a direct-
ive, the U. 8, Civil Service Com-
mission adopted the policy of find-
ing and exploiting every possible
opportunity for the intelligent
placement of disabled veterans and
other persons with limitations of
physical capability. The Com-
mission has urged appointing of-
ficers throughout the Federal
vice to give the fullest considera-
tion to the employment of such

and the appointing offi-

have responded. There was a

time when a physically handi-

capped person had little oppor-

tunity of obtaining employment,

In the Federal service that time
has passed,

Job Study

The Commission's Medical Div-
ision has studied more than 6,000
types of positions in the Govern-
ment service to determine the
abilities and faculties needed for
particular jobs, It has been found
that few jobs require a worker to
use all his abilities and faculties,
A person with a physical im-
pairment is not vocationally han-
dicapped if he is employed in a
position where his impairment
does not interfere with his job
performance. Further, it is main-
tained that so long as the im-
pairment does not cause any haz-
ard to the health or safety of his
fellow-workers, the impaired per-
son is deserving Of the same con-
sideration and treatment ordin-
arily given any other productive
employe:

A man with one arm is not vo-
cationally handicapped, and
neither employer nor employee is
at any production disadvantage,
if the job involved requires the
use of but one arm. There are
numerous cases on the Federal
rolls of blind persons and am-
putees rendering completely sat-
isfactory service, The chief of

favorably with those of the able-
bodied. A much lower rate of
turn-over was found among the
physically impaired, The medical
officers also learned that the per-
centage of the physically im-
paired receiving special consid-
erations with regard to trans-
portation, lunch and rest periods,
hours of work and methods of
remuneration, special equipment

or in time of reporting, has been
low. All these employees were
placed selectively; they were hired
for jobs the duties of which were
not beyond their physical capa-
bilities,
Handicapped Do Well

‘The experience and knowledge
gained in the survey and job
analysis performed by the Medi-
cal Division of the Civil Service
Commission was highly useful in
connection with the employment
of handicapped persons during the
war when there was an extreme
shortage of qualified workers in
many critical occupations, Thous-
ands of physically impaired in-
dividuals received appointments
and contributed effectively to the
fight for freedom, These persons
have demonstrated that they are
capable of performing thoroughly |
satisfactory work,

Not a Temporary Problem

The Civil Service Commission
looks upon the employment of
handicapped persons as @ con=
tinuing obligation, however, and
not a temporary program solely
to meet an emergency situation.
As General Omar Bradley, Ad-
ministrator of Veteran Affairs, has
said: “The problem of the dis-
abled veteran is not a temporary!
one which can be conveniently
forgotten within a year or two.”

The Commission states: “Add-
ing 10 points to the examination
rating will not solve the prob-
lem, There must be back of such
a policy @ determination to put
disabled veterans in positions
where they can make just as ef-
fective contribution to the oper-
ation of government as persons
without handicaps, It can be

are outlined,
Flexible Requirements

It is now the Commission's pol-
icy to make the physical require-
ments as flexible as possible in
all positions. The physical-ability
paragraph which appears in each
examination announcement is in-
dividually tallored by the Com-
mission’s medical staff to fit the
position, The paragraph explains
the physical abilities or faculties
which are necessary to perform
efficiently the duties of the posi-
tion without hazard to the em-
ployee or to others, The require-
ments which appear in these par-
agraphs are based on the results
of the job surveys which were
conducted by the medical officers,
and also the statement of duties
describing the type of work which
individuals appointed from that
announcement will be required to
perform,

done, We have learned how to do| %,

this during the war, As a result
of our study we know just what
faculties and abilities are needed
to perform the duties and re-
sponsibilities of thousands of types

of positions. And so the Commis-| yj

sion can say today to those with
physical handicaps: ‘If you have
the faculties and abilities which
are needed for a particular job,
we will put you in that job, ir-
respective of the handicaps which
you may have.’” :
Gains Detailed Knowledge

As a result of the survey made
so far, the Commission has de-
tailed knowledge of the physical
requirements of many hundreds
of jobs, most of them in the skilled
trades, The Commission knows,
for example, that in order to per-
form satisfactorily in @ certain
job in'the United States Mint in
San Francisco, “the employee
must have one intact hand and
good grasping power in the sec-
ondary hand, near vision in one
eye. Hearing is unimportant.”
Information of this kind covering
a multitude of jobs in the trades
and in clerical, guard, and custe-
dial occupations has been made
available to appointing officers and
others throughout the Federal
Government in the Commission's
“Operations Manual for Placement
of the Physically Handicapped.”
A revision of this publication, with
the new title, “Operations Guide
for the Placement of the Phy-
sically Impaired”, will be print
in the fall of 1946,

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

JOB PROSPECTS FOR FIREMAN ELIGIBLE

‘The LEADER begins this week
the serial publication of the NYC
eligible list for appointment as
Fireman (F.D.), in the order of
probable appointment. This listing
has been prepared by The LEADER,
and fs the only one published that
indicates where a candidate actu-
ally stands on the list. The ar-
ment of names, in the order
percentages, as supplied
by the Civil Service Commission,
does not take into consideration
the effect of veteran preference,
alhough designating disabled and
although designating disabled and

The order of appointment is
probable, as given below, because
of investigations to be completed,
and the clearance of yeteran pre-
ference claims. Lacking completion
of this work, the Commission
couldn't promulgate the list.

97 P.C. Veterans

Soon after the new budget takes
effect, on July 1, it is expected
that Firemen will be appointed,
The Fire Department is unable to
tell how many, as yet, but admits
that 100 is not beyond possibility.
There are about 30 names on an
existing Fireman list, and the
first 30 jobs would be offered to
them. After that, the new list
would be used, but couldn't be
until it is “promulgated,” 1.
made official for certification. Now
it's only “published,” so that eli-
gibles may get what information
from it that they can, The real
information they want is the prob-
able appointment order, hence
that’s what The LEADER supplies,

Job Prospects

There is no way of knowing
exactly what the job prospects will
be since the list will have a maxi-
mum legal life of four years after
the date of promulgation, and
there will be three consecutive
annual budgets, the provisions of
which nobody could possibly guess.
However, and indication is af-
forded by a study of Fire Depart-
ment statistics, and these show
that in four years about 2,000
Firemen would be appointed, about
500 a year, With the list contain-
ing more than twice as many ad-
ditional names, it is obvious that
a minority of the eligibles will be
appointed Firemen, But the list
is expected to be used by the Com-
mission for other jobs. When and
if that is done, eligibles lower
down on the list often accept, but
these who consider themselves
within reach of appointment in
four years usually reject, because
they have some change of getting
the Fireman job, even those 2,000
to 3,000 in the relative order of
standing.

The non-veterans on the list,
less than 3 per cent, are extremely
few, but their presence represents
non-veterans who were willing to
take a chance, though realizing
that veterans would almost satu-
rate the list, The veterans consti-
tute 97 per cent, one per cent
more than in the last Patrolman
examination. Even the disabled
veterans exceed the normal 10 per
cent, despite the present require-
ment of at least 10 per cent dis-
ability rating from the Veterans
Administration, which was new
last year. Any percentage, even
zero, Was previously acceptable,

Non-veterans also took a chance
that the preference law would be
changed and the-list reshuffled
as of January i, 1951,

NYC has obtained more eligibles
than it bargained for, but is glad
to have them, as other job oppor-
tunities will come up- The Com-
mission has a new policy of using
existing or prospective lists as
much as possible for equivalent
duties, or jobs for which the test
was satisfactory, rather than hold-

more examinations that it
deems not strictly mecessary,

The lst of disabled veterans,
with relative standing in prospec-
tive order of their appointment,
for the first 250, follows:

Job Prospects Increase
For Investigator List

The job prospects for the eligi-
bles on the Investigator list were
improved when the NYC Civil
Service Commission, by a 2-to-1
vote, defeated a resolution to put
the Special Investigators, Board
of Transportation, in the non-
competitive class.

Another job open to the Investi-
fcr eligibles is Assistant Fire

larshal at the same pay, $2,710,

The Investigator list has been
published and will be promulgated
as soon as the investigation of
experience and character is com-
pleted and the veteran preference
claims cleared, The investigation
by the commission is expected to
be completed»by the end of next
week, The clearance of veteran
claims depends on the Veterans
Administration and on the eli-

of exhaustion, Officers will

pitch in, About the only thing
the records do show is the an-
nual list of those who have made
the supreme sacrifice willingly and
without hesitancy in the perform~-
ance of their sworn duty, that of
protecting life and property
against fire.

No More Minimization

“Although statistics could never
show our many grueling tasks, we
have been too modest and reluct~
ant to put on paper or tell our
superiors of our work performed.
‘We all have a tendency to min-
imize our tasks and the punish-
ment we take, especially among
our fellow-men. We all seem to
have an adolescent attitude of
ridiculing our fellow-man if he
dares to express in any way the
beating he took at a fire. We all
seem to want to be known as the

guy who can take it better than the | ted

next guy. That is certainly esprit
de corps, but, brothers, if you
don"t put it on paper yot are sell-
ing yourself short to the public
and the City fathers,

“It behooves us right now to
stop being modest to the point
of being foolish and acting
ashamed of our efforts and vir-
tues, At every opportunity you
get, sell yourself and your job
with its many complexities to
your relatives, friends, clubs, civic
associations, etc., and wherever
you gather or go. And if statist-
ies are what the experts go by,
let’s give them a true picture,
Don’t minimize your efforts to
your own detriment, but on the
contrary, build them up, Every
Company and Chief Officer should
start right now and put on paper,
for the records, every detail of
the job you did and exactly un-
der what conditions you operated.
Tell exactly what happened and
why. In other words, be as enthus-
jastic in-your reports as you are
in the performance of your duties.

ers” and unless you make every
effort to help yourselves, we all

Summer classes will be held at
the Fire College in L, I. City,
which is unusual. Both Officers
and Firemen will attend, but at
separate courses, The reason, ex-
plained Commissioner Quayle, is
that the technical advances in
fire fighting and fire prevention
Jnave been so rapid and marked
that it is necessary to keep the
uniformed force fully abreast. He
hasgbeen found that his desired
high goal can’t be attained
through limited sessions, interrup-
in the summer, The ac-
commodations for the classes in
the present Fire College are a
great improvement over those in
the old quarters, so that the heat
shouldn't bother the students the
way it did in old days . The

Stresses Insurance

Civil Service employees are in-

problems with Gorman Brokerage,
101 West 42nd Street, a firm who
has been selling all types of in-
surance protection for many years.

Gorman Brokerage stresses the
importance of being properly in-
sured. One of the important types
of policies is Automobile Insur-
ance. Motorists know it is prac-
tically a must. With more auto-
mobiles on the street than we ever
had before and with most cars
over ten years old, it is any won-
der that the most careful driver
today will have an automobile ac-
cident? You can vouch for your-
self—can you vouch for the “other
fellow”? Insurance is your only
protection,

Laborers Stymied on Higher Pay;
City Finds Title Extinct in Industry

The title of Laborer, which ex-
ists in the NYC classification, has
no companion title in private in-
dustry, therefore the City finds it
impossible to establish a rate
based on that paid in private
industry, although the Laborers
are entitled to such a rate.

That was the situation as de-
scribed by Assistant Deputy
Comptroller Morris Paris, who
conducted hearings on the appli-
cation of NYO»Laborers for pay
rates prevailing in private in-
dustry, under Section 220 of the
Labor Laws.

“The term Common Laborer
has disappeared from private in-
dustry,” Mr, Paris explained, “All
we have are Serving Laborers,

“A man whom you just pick
up on the street and assign to
some kind of manual labor does
not have an occupation, within
the statutory meaning of that
word” he said. “So it is necessary
for those seeking higher pay rates
on the basis of wages paid in
private industry to produce proof
of such wages in the same title,

“We find that Laborer, as a
title in industry, has become al-
most a fiction. We reached our
conclusion only after an ex-
haustive investigation that oc-
cupied half our staff for a long
while, but if the applicants can
produce proof that there are La-
borer titles, and pay rates for
such titles, we'd welcome it, The

borers seeking higher pay will
try to produce the proof that will
get it for them, since there is no
dispute that the title comes un-
der the Labor Law provisions,

Auto Engineman Example

A case in point was said at the
Comptroller's office to be that of
Auto Engineman, In private in-
dustry there are chauffeurs, but
no Auto Enginemen, the Comp-
troller’s office finds, hence the
Pay rate of 93% cents an hour
as established a decade ago re-
mains the same for Labor Law
cases. The City isn’t prevented
from paying more, and under
agreements it does, but the power
ok compulsion is said to be lack-
ing.

CIVIL SERVICE

LEADER

The eagerness of members of
the NYC Employees Retirement
System to get larger retirement
allowances, under the law enacted
at the last session of the Legis-
lature, is proved by the enormous
early response, now that the per-
iod for receipt of applications is
open. The closing date is June 30,

The long lines at the offices of
the System, however, do not in-
dicate mere interest, but in ad-
dition lack of proper action by
City departments, who send their
employ: who are over age 55
to the System to get immediate
information on rates, While the
System furnishes all rates, it can
not give them for this group with-
out computation, hence not at
once, The applications of those
over age 55 should be received by
the payroll clerk of the depart
me@, and forwarded by him oj

NEW YORK CITY NEWS
Big Rush Is On to Get Larger Retirement Pay

her to the System. Then, after
the rate is computed, and the pay-
roll clerk is notified, the appli-
cant gets his answer. He doesn’t
lose valuable time at the System's
office, nor does he get the
formation any later, by the in-
ter-departmental method.

Van Name Aids Applicants

Ralph L. Van Name, secretary
of the System, has made arrange-
ments to accomodate two types of
lines at his office. At one desk,
forms will be displayed, so that
the waiting period is reduced to
a few minutes, or even seconds,
for any who just want forms.
At another desk a specialist will
handle rate applications, but will
only get from the applicant the
pertinent facts on which the rates
are to be based, for those over
ind 1 not supply the _an-

swer immediately,
tation is required.

For those below age 55, the
computation is based on salary
alone and is read from charts.
No visit to the System’s office is
required. For those 55 or over,
the computation is based on per-
centage of account. When the
employee shifts from an age 58,
59 or 60 retirement plan to age
55, as he must, to gain the new
benefit, the percentage increase
in cost is greater because of the
reduction of the minimum retire-
ment age. A variable cost factor
is introduced, the figure being
different for conversion from age
60 to 55, 59 to 55 and 58 to 55,
Such applications should be sent
in through the payroll clerk and
the applicant should await word

on the rate.
The Department of Public

since compu-

Works had the detailed rates re-
produced from a recent issue of
the City Record, about one-third
the original size, and supplied a
copy to each employee in the
department.

What New Plan Provides

The new pension liberalization
makes it possible to retire on an
allowance from 20 to 40 per cent
greater than the present one, for
many members of the System, on
the basis of a 1 per cent benefit
rate, which is matched, in gen-
eral, by the City’s financing of a
pension for the member, of an
equal amount. The former ben-
efit fraction of 1/120 of salary is
increased therefore to 1/100, or by
20 per cent, The retirement al-
lowance fraction — for determ-
ining the total retirement income
—is twice as large, normally, be-
cause of the City’s equal con-

tribution, hence is ay

Correction Officers Urged to Appl

For New Pension
To Gaining Better

As a solid basis for promoting |

its campaign to obtain a 25-
service-years retirement plan,
independent of age, the Correc-
tion Officers Benevolent Associa-
tion is advising all its members
to apply for the benefits under
the new pension plan, based on
age 55 minimum, for benefits to-
talling 2 percent of salary. Half
the cost of the benefits is borne
by the employee, the other half
by the City, in the usual case,
Thus, after 25 years of service,
retirement at half pay results,
at 2 per cent benefits per year.
The same proportion obtains for
greater or lesser length of ser-
vice, but with no provision for
retirement earlier than age 55,

The Association is striving to
haye Correction - Officers obtain
hazard offsets, through the 25-
year-service method, on the same
theory that Policemen and Fire-
men may retire after 20 years, in
