State Assn. Asks End of Delay
On Deciding Who Gets Overtime

Tolman Urges
Burton to Act

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Oct. 20—Following the mandate of the
delegates who attended the annual meeting of The Civil

Se

vice Employees Association, President Frank L, Tolman

has called upon Director of the Budget John E, Burton
to act promptly in pending matters of overtime pay as
required by Chapter 270 of the Laws of 1947 for work
performed beyond 40 hours per week, Pay for such over-
time has been approved for a large number of workers
in institutions, but is not yet approved in the case of many
other workers in the Departments of Public Works, Parks,

Conservation and other agencies,

“This proposal,” said Dr, Tol-
Man, “was first introduced in the
State Assembly on February 1,
1947, and was finally approved
And signed by the Governor on
March 22, 1947. The effective date
Was April 1, 1947.”

Association’s Firm Objective

The Association had asked, for
& number of years, for a standard
Maximum 40-hour week bill with

New System Described

‘Three plans were submitted on
the ballot, all calling for the same
number of work hours a week,

Plan A is new. It is the “3 and
3” and is described by its princi-
pal sponsor as follows:

“Its proponents believe that its
installation would be beneficial
both to the officers and the Fire
Department.

“One important difference of
the ‘3 and 3’ system from the
others is that an officer does not
work two nights in succession.
This is a great advantage in
severe cold weather or when men

duty, or temporarily disabled and

The State

President, The Civil Service Em-

Member of the Employces’ Merit
Award Board

AS OTHERS SEE US

© person and no organization can appraise itself with
N complete fairness and full objectivity. The fair and
considered judgment of others often gives a truer portrait.

For this reason, Association members will read with
interest the latest brew “Dipped from the Stream of
Politi quoted below.

The New York State Journal has the job of reporting
and interpreting the Government of the State for the
information of the citizen, It has a high reputation for
fact-finding, objectivity and impartiality. With The Civil
Service LEADER, it is ‘must’? reading for every man and
woman in public life in New York State. It is therefore
interesting and informative to read in the issue of October

13, 1947. an estimate of the strength and stature of our
Association.

A Determined Aggregation

ite Workers,” the Journal, “are a determ-
ration and they are vowing to fight to get what
they want. More and more the legislators, especially those
who have State offices and institutions in their districts,
are listening with respect to the legislative proposals of
State employees.

“The State employees for years have been urging,
without avail, that the Legislature adopt a cost-of-living
pay plan for the workers, This would be based upon
established salaries, but these would go up and down auto-
matically every quarter or every six months, depending on
the fluctuation in living costs. . .. The State Adminis-
tration has not looked with favor on this plan. But a few
days ago, one of Governor Dewey’s ablest cabinet mem-
bers, Industrial Commissioner Edward Corsi, came out for
‘escalator clauses’ in all collective bargaining agreements.
This would provide for automatic cuts and raises in con-
formity with living costs.

“The S!
ined ag;

Automatic Pay Adjustment

“Now the State employees don’t have any collective
bargaining agreement with the State, but they do have
a kind of contractual relationship on pay, which is fixed
by statute, subject to adjustments which the Budget Direc-
tor is empowered to make,

“<The basie wage should be in the realm of collective
bargaining’, says Mr, Corsi, State employees through their
representatives actually do bargain with the administra-
tion and the legislative leaders on over-all basic pay scales.
‘Increases and decreases should be automatic at agreed-
upon periods to conform with the cost of living at the
time’.

Handwriting on Wall

“Well, that is what the State employees have been
urging for years—and now see who says it is right—

neither labor nor the State employees are going to be
silenced. The handwriting is on the wall, and the record
is there—already.

“Delegates of the 40,000 members of The Civil Service

Employees Association, meeting in Albany for two days,
adopted a legislative platform including:

“1A demand for a flat 25 per cent boost in salaries.

“2--A demand for creation of grievance machinery
designed to counteract the provisions of the Condon-Wad-
lin law—passed this year—which prohibits strikes by
public employees.

“#he 40,000 employees are backed up by a vastly
greater voting strength in the State, and will have the
support of organized labor on both points,”

Hope for Solution by Conference

The above is the situation as it appears to a trained
newspaper man. He is certainly right in his report of the
Association’s two chief objectives. I think he is right
about the potential strength of the Association. I hope
he and The LEADER are both right in believing that the
Administration will give full and fair consideration to the
very real plight of the State employees at this time and
will sit down at a table with your representatives to work
out a solution of their problems,

Special to The LEADER
ALBANY, Oct. 20—The policy
of discussing employee problems
across the table with officials of
State and local government, as
practiced by The Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association, received high
praise from Lieutenant Governor
Joseph R. Hanley at the recent
dinner meeting of the Association
at the DeWitt Clinton Hotel. Mr.
Hanley was one of two speakers
who discussed “The Public Em-
ployee, Today and the Future.
The other speaker was Professor
Wallace S. Sayre, of the School
of Business and Public Adminis-
tration, Cornell University.

Assistant Counsel John E, Holt-
Harris, Jr., presided, in the ab-
sence of Second Vice-president
John F. Powers, who was recover-
ing from a serious illness. Mr.
Powers has since returned to work
much improved though not com-
pletely recovered.

Never Unreasonable

“Whenever there are any prob-
lems between the State and its
employees, both sides should sit
down at a table and honestly and
fairly discuss them,” said the
Lieutenant Governor. “In that
way solutions can be reached,

“Whenever there has been any
difficulty, we have been able to
work out a solution. I have never
found State employees unreason-
able or stubborn. Once in a while
there is a difference of opinion or
judgment that requires special
study, but there isn’t a single
problem that couldn’t be settled
by conference, if both sides act
fairly”

He recounted his pleasant as-
sociations with delegations from
the Association in the past and
said that excellent progress had
been achieved as the result of
such conferences.

Most of his speech, however,

was delivered in a humorous vein,
and he outdid himself in this type
of speech-making, of which he is
a master. He recounted anecdotes

advice on matrimony, told some
inside stories of politics and kept
his audience in constant laughter,

his duties at the State Insurance
Pund, after an absence of two
months, occasioned by serious
illness. He will have te conserve
his energies for several months,
but he feels fine now and has
recuperated splendidly.

During his i'Iness Mr, Powers
was swamped with cards and let-
ters wishing him speedy recovery,
and expressing such moving sen-
timents toward him that he finds
himself unable to reply personally
now to each of the many.

“I was overwhelmed by the
concern shown for my welfare
and recovery,” said Mr. Powers,
“and I take this opportunity to
express to each and every one
who was so kind as to write me,
my deep thanks and appreciation,
and to express the hope that I
shall be able to answer each one
individually, and say how wonder-
fully I was stimulated to recovery
by the good wishes and prayers
of my friends.”

The past history, he said]
showed the relative emancipatiog
of public service from subordina,
tion to the party patronage sys,
tem; the growth of the system of
personnel administration, incluq.
ing job classifications and promo,
tion ladders; the growth of stan,

prestige of career service: among
the public. .

On the negative side of the re.

hostility by the legislative branch
toward public servants; dislike of
administrative staffs by legisia.
tures, and the influence of prey
sure groups upon lawmakers, Also,
he found inadequate progress in
establishing just rates of com.
Pensation, despite great improve,

years; failure to adopt democratic
principles of administration to the
extent that administrators would
tap ideas emanating from the
staff, and the restriction by legis.

employees,

Eye to the Future

The principal needs of the
future, he thought, were to im
press upon the public the value,
scope and importance of work
done by public employees, sum-
med up as “Tell your story to the
public”; improvement of the ad.
ministrative machinery, to permit
much wider participation in ad»

gaiting of legislative and ad-
ministrative policies to optimum
quality of public service; and
adoption of a code of ethics in

some of the professions.

More Pay, Big Need

From this program one notes |
|that the Association recognizes |
the inappropriate levels of pay,
‘ack of proper job classification
and the lack of promotional op-
portunities in counties and sub-
divisions. This is a condition that
should not be construed as an
adverse criticism of the local |
governing body. As the Associa- |
tion has so often stated, if the!
employees don’t know their rights |
and there is no express effort to
attain enjoyment of such rights,
their working conditions will not
be of the best or their compen-
sation compare favorably with |
that im private employment. |

‘There is no doubt about the in-
creasing interest in the County |
Division's a¢tivities, for the en-
thusiasm runs high everywhere
that our Representatives have
gone. Recent examples are the
highly favorabie attitude exp
ed by employees in Jefferson,
Warren, Cattaraugus and Wy-
oming counties. Interest in mem-
bership has been tremendous in
those counties, as well as else-
where, focused on salary adjust-
ment. Appeals have been directed
to the Boards of Supervisors, the
Common Councils, the City Man-
agers and the School Board
Trustees. Requests for title re-
classifications have been made in
several counties, to be followed
by requests for salary realloca-
tions,

Decision Is Awaited In Case

Of State Trooper Fired Over Check

A decision is momentarily awit-
ed in the case of Roman 4. Lau-
rence, of Niagara Falls, discharg-
ed State trooper.

A hearing on the dismissal was
held early this month before the
Appellate Division, Fourth De-
partment. Mr. Laurence’s case
Was presented by Attorney Wil-
liam B. Mahoney, of Buffaio, who
argued that his client had not
received a “fair and impartial”
hearing on the charges leading to
his dismissal,

The charges grew out of a naval
officer's cap found and returned
to its owner by Mr. Laurence.
Both Mr. Laurence and Assistant
Attorney General Matthew Tiff-
any, who is arguing the case for
the State, agreed on the facts
that after the cap was returned
to_a naval officer in Providence,
R.L, the officer sent a $5 check,
which was turned over to the
Police Benevolent Association of

|the State Troopers. Mr. Laurence

was President of that organiza-
tion,
With State 15 Years

The Trooper, who is seeking re-
instatement, has served with the
State for 15 years, from July 1,
1931, until his dismissal, except
for a year spent in the Army.

The accusations against Mr.
Laurence are these: Conducting
official correspondence without
permission; accepting a gratuity
without approval; reluctantly per-
forming assigned duties; failure
to file a complete report.

Mr. Mahoney contends that

Offices: WhenWill Our Pay Be Adjusted?’

By MAXWELL LEHMAN
qhis is the second of a series
of Tirticles covering an itinerary
py the author and Morton Yar-
mon, voth of The LEADER staff,
mong some 80 New York State
institutions and offices,

It was early on Tuesday morn-
{ng that Larry Hollister, photo-
grapher Paul Rice, and I reached
§yracuse State School. We drove
up a sharp hill to the powerhouse,
and there we were greeted by
jlow-speaking, genial Fred Krum-
man, President of the Association
Chapter, He took a few minutes
oft from his boilers and machines
to introduce us around,

speaking with him and with
other employees in various de-
partments of the institution, we
found that relations between em-
ployees and the Director, Dr. Sid-
ney Bisgrove, are good. He listens
to their grievances, and tries to
help solve the difficulties when
they are within his province. I
didn’t get the feeling here, as I
did at some institutions, that a
wall of trepidation bars employees

from director.

The number of grievances at
Syracuse State isn’t high, but
what the employees want, they

want intensely.
Hour Day. in Cottages

One of their complaints is that
the 8-hour day doesn't exist in
cottages, Two men cover a 24-
hour period. One or the other
ist be in_responsible charge at
times. This means a 12-hour
working day, The same situation
holds in the colonies housing girls.

We.went to the laundry, a large,
efficlent-looking plant. The men-
tal defectives who wash and iron
in the laundry seemed happy at
their work. IT was informed, how-
ever, that violent and unpredict-
able outbreaks sometimes occur
among them, Gladys Holmquist,
laundry supervisor, is a woman
with reth humor—and on her job
Tm sure this characteristic is
immensely valuable.

We called in Marie Jones and
James McEny, officers of the Civil
Service Employees Association
chapter, and photographe. them
with Fred Krumman and Marie
J ones and Charles Ecker, All four
» in working clothes, and the
ple ture is really good. You can

e it on one of these pages.

Director's Problems

We spoke with Dr. Bisgrove and

the Deputy Director, Dr. Frank
B. Glasser (who has since been
assigned to Willowbrook, in
Staten Island), We found them

nsitive to the problems of their
employees. Dr. Bisgrove has his
own problems, too. It isn’t too
easy to obtain employees of the
right quality he has the same
budgetary troubles as all institu-
tion directors; and most of all,
he has to worry along with anci-
ent, out-of-date buildings. One
can’t imagine the need for new
buildings without seeing an insti-
tution like Syracuse State School.
Auburn State Prison

We “hit the road” again, this
time making for Auburn State
Prison, Talking with the prison

Employees Stamp
Dr. Bigelow ‘O.K."

In the first article of this series,
I reported, after my interviews
with employees at Marcy State
Hospital, that “the persoune: at
Marcy do not feel their Director
(Dr, Newton J. T, Bigelow) nas a
warm friendly interest in them."
| A number of Marcy employees
have written in to say that their
experience with Dr. Bigelow has
been more aftirmative. Iney main-
tain that he is friendly toward
employees, is always ready to lis-
ten to them and help in any way
ae can,

Tam glad to record that a num-
ber of workers at Marcy feel this
way. It is my opinion that work
in State institutions is conducted
on a higher, more efficient level
when good, frank, mutually-help-
ful relations exist between direc-
tor and employe ML,

guards was like talking with law-
yers. How they acquire it I haven't
dscovered, but prison guards as
a group have such a detailed
knowledge of civil service law,
rules and regulations that I was
simply surprised. This was true
not only at Aubirn, but at Elmira
and Attica, which we also covered
on the trip. I enjoyed hearing
William Pringle, Carmen Collella,
Don Wilson and Louis Du Mont
arguing the fine points of whether
or not the State owes prison em-
ployees 4 days a year, Each seem-
ed capable of proving his point—
and according to whose mathe-
matics you selected, you could dis-
cover that the working year of
prison employees varies four days!

The big issue here, as elsewhere,
is alary, The employees of Auburn
State Prison feel that the State
cannot possibly continue to pay
them their present salaries, there
must be an upward adjustment,
I'd like the members of the State
Legislature and of Governor
Dewey's cabinet to sit in and lis-
ten to the logic of the case these
employees male out.

The strength of their case, as
posited against the reality of their
inadequate salaries, has not em-
bittered them, They have a steady
belief that the salary question will
be adjusted to their satisfaction
when the State Legislature meets.

At Willard State Hospital

We travelled next to Willard
State Hospital. Here, as elsewhere,
I made it a point to take a “sam-
pling” of employee opinion, I

asked them these questions: Do
you like working for New York
State? Do you like working here?
Have you any problems about
your work? Is there anything
you'd like to see changed? Do you
get along on your salary?

Employees aren’t grumbling this
year, but they know—more pre-
cisely than has been the case in
past years—what they need and
what they can reasonably antici-
pate:

1, Better pay. There is genuine
fear among employees at Willard
that they may be caught in even
a tighter financial squeeze than
they are now, unless an upward
wage revision comes through soon.
Moreover, at present rates of pay,
the State cannot expect to get
proper office or institutional em-
ployees—and workers at this in-
stitution fear what is likely to
happen if they get hit again by
such a tight manpower situation
as hit them during the war years,

2, A 40-hour work-week. This is
of course tied up with the re-
quirement of higher pay. One at-
tendant made this point: “If we
go on a 40-hour week, and lose
8 hours of pay, then we will really
be in the soup.”

In the Kitchen

Down in the huge, antiquated
kitchen we watched head cook
Joseph J. Murphy among his
cauldrons. He looks precisely like
the cooks you have seen pictures
of in old medieval stories—big,
pleasant-faced, proud of his pro-
fession. Much of his equipment
is ancient—there’s a bread oven
which wasn’t even recognized by
the representative of the company
which manufactured it, so_anci-
ent is it! But the food at Willard
is tops—take my word for it, I
sampled it. Cook Murphy and his
assistants are canning 12,000 gal-
lons of tomatoes this seanson,
with hi regular kitchen equip-
ment. Such a activities as these
actually save the State a lot of
money.

In the office we spoke with
Edward Limner, President, and
Francis -Peltz, Vice-president of
the Willard State Association
chapter, They confirmed what we
learned from our conversations
with employees about the pay sit-
uation, And they »rought to our
attention certain more specific
problems. One of them was thi:
When a transfer agent takes
Patient from the hospital during
extra hours, he si paid overtime.
But there is no overtime pay for
the time which the employee must
spend returning to the institution

from State business, not his
own,

More Jobs Should Be
Made Competitive

HE number of non-competitive positions in the State

service is large, possibly because of the convenience
of filling them without competition. But the constitution
provides that examinations, so far as practicable, shall be
competitive. It is a readily established fact that many
of the State jobs now classified as non-competitive can be
filled competitively. Other branches of government—the
U. S. and the NYC Civil Service Commissions, for in-
stance—do fill the same positions competitively.

The recent difficulty of recruitment for particular
types of jobs has been a fertilizer for the growth of non-
competitive positions. Nobody knows just how many there
are in the State service, but the State Civil Service Com-
mission is now endeavoring to find out. The survey will
also reveal the number of employees in competitive and
exempt jobs. Such statistics the Federal government keeps
as a day-to-day practice. NYC gathers them, too, although
it is now a bit behind on its tally. The State had been
letting this important work slide.

It is not enough for the State Commission to decide
that certain positions, in its opinion, cannot be filled com-
petitively. Opinion can be tempered by expediency, Fact
must control.

Present State employees could reap a deserved benefit
from the Commission’s strict compliance with the civil
service amendment to the State constitution. Workers in
present non-competitive titles could be reclassified as com-
petitive. The rule of law has been that when a job is
covered in, the incumbent is automatically covered in
also. All future appointments and promotions would be

®

made as a result of competitive examinations, That is the
publie gain.
The reclassification of State titles which are now, for

doubtful or indefensible reasons, in the non-competitive
class, should be undertaken without delay.

- Comment

Editor, The LEADER;

Listen to this one

I am a Railroad Porter (Sta-
tion), NYC Transit System. After

Editor, The LEADER:

The failure to pass retirement
legislation at the last session of
Congress was in a large measure,

three years of it I get 95 cents an
hours, Starting pay was 90. I look-
ed forward hopefully to promotion.
‘The career service impliedly prom-
ises as much, But the only pro-
motion test to which my title is
declared eligible is Railroad Clerk.
If I'm “promoted” to Railroad
Clerk my pay drops to 90 cents
an hour and I lose $2.40 a week
and have to work nights, instead
of days, as now. Sure( a year
later my pay will go up to $1, but
it would take a year and ahalf
just to break even on the pro-
motion.

The promotion. to
Foreman (Car Cleaner) is open
to Car Cleaner, Caretaker and
Watchman, but not to the Rail-
road Porter who knows about
cleaning from experience. This
promotion title starts at $115 and
rises to $.10 after a year. The
eligible titles in the Assistant
Foreman test are likewise eligible
for Railroad Clerk and Maintain-
er's Helper, Groups A, B and C.
"The Porter (Public Health) title
is eligible for Maintainer’s Helper,
Group C, but the Railroad Porter
title is not,

T’m in a quandary, Where's my
future?

becaue of asking too much in one
bill, Had the bill been confined to
increases in annuities, and inaug-
urating widows annuities I’m con-
fident it would now be on _ the
books. Costs could have been
more definitely ascertained and
the controversies would not have
existed. The group heads made a
grave mistake in agreeing on this
bugaboo of costs, a bugaboo that
has been an insurmountabe ob-
bill. They played into the hands
of controversy and the actuarial
stacle for years to getting relief
for those now drawing $23 per
week, and many less than that.
Why are not the civil service
employees, as well as those re-
tired, represented on the Actuarial
Board for the U. S. Retirement
System? The figures given out
by that Board were contradictory
and lacking in substantiation.
The Federal group heads can
compensate for the failure to get
retirement liberalization by hav-
ing H. 4127 amended so that the
annuity increases would be retro-
active to November 1—the date on
which they would have been effec-
tive had the bill been passed at
the close o fthe session.

Missouri Bans Strikes By Public Employees

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Oct, |

measure’*which prohibits strikes

by public employees in Missouri.
Previously similar legislation has
been adopted in New York Michi-

Repeat This!

State Department's drastic
orders about firing employees
whose loyalty has been brought
into question will bring strong
opposition from civil liberties
groups, on these grounds: (1) the
order is too broad, offers no pro-
tection to accused employees; (2)
perfectly loyal employees, whose
opinions may differ from those
of their superiors, could suffer
under it; (3) in dealing with what
is deemed a totalitarian menace,
the United States must not in

peacetime employ totalitarian
methods; (4) the precedent is
serious—and where will it lead?
The State Department itself is
reported more than a little wor-
ried about its latest policy.

The Executive Department of
the Federal Government is com-
Plaining that it cannot attract
the right kind of talent for the
bigger Government jobs. Good
men won't subject themselves to
the onslaughts they get these days
from Congress; nor will they be
bound by restrictions which apply
to few other American citizens...

Wallace Sayre wowed the an-

of Great Britain's civil service
clerical workers, on salary condi-

mums”. , . Guards at Sing Sing

chines are coming into increasing
use at chapter meetings of civil
service employee groups . ..

Colleges are pushing NYC San-

place for smart young graduates
to enter. The argument is that

college-trained man can ad-

A move is under way to supply

place of the old-time hard-
rimmed bonnets. If it goes
through, it will be a break with

What's this about draymen at

little to deliver their trunks and
demanding three times as much

VICTOR J. PALTSITS

‘The interests of the public and
public employees are the basis of
Victor J. Paltsit’s active participa-
tion in affairs of The Civil Service
Employees Association. Recently
he was re-elected State Banking
Department Representative on the
Association’s State Committee.

Mr, Paltsits joined the Associa-
tion in 1940 after attending a
meeting of the NYC Chapter. The
Association program “grew on
me,” and he immediately became
active in NYC Chapter affairs.
Shortly after becoming a member
he was named the Bank Depart-
ment representative to the NYC
Chapter. He has served on many
Chapter committees.

A native on NYC, Mr. Paltsits
was graduated from Morris High
School, in The Bronx, in 1914,
His first Job was with the Guar-
antee Trust Company as a mes-
senger. During the next 10 years
with the’ Company he advanced
to general teller, or what was then
known as a senior clerk.

During World War I, Mr. Pait-
sits served with the Navy Depart-
ment.

Assumes Teller’s Post

In 1926, after having tried
farming for two years in Maine,
Mr. Paltsits assumed a teller’s post
with the Manufacturers Trust
Company. From there, he moved
over to the First National Bank
of Bellerose in Nassau County. He
aided in organizing the bank and
became its first cashier.

When the State Banking De-
partment issued a call for experi-
enced men during the dark days
of 1931, Mr. Paltsits volunteered
his services as a Temporary Bank
Examiner. The following year, he
joined the Long Island State Bank
and Trust Company, in Suffolk
County, as General Assistant.

Then in 1933 he accepted a
position as cashier and Trust Of-
ficer with the First National Bank
and Trust Company of Pearl
River, Rockland County, N, Y.
He has made his home there ever
since.

Mr, Paltsits returned to State
Service temporarily in 1936 as
Bank Liquidator in the Liquida-
tion Bureau of the State Banking
Department. He worked in the
NYC office until October, 1938,
when he became Executive Vice-
president of the South Shore Bank
of Staten Island at Great Kills,
Richmond County.

Passed Competitive Exam

In 1940 Mr. Paltsits was appoint-
ed a Bank Examiner in the Metro-
Ppolitan office of the Banking De-
partment after having passed a
competitive civil service exami-
nation.

He attended the American
Banking Association’s Graduate
School of Banking at Rutgers
University, and the American In-
stitute of Banking in NYC.

In addition, he has participated
in Boy Scout activities and is a
member of a number of fraternal
and religious organizations,

Mr, Paltsits is married and lists
his leading avocation as his home.
He glways has been active in ath-
letics and is particularly interested
in fishing and baseball. He loves
to putter in his garden and “grow
things,” a throw-back to his farm~-
ing days, he says.

Hospital
Pay in State
Below Par

By M, J, CORLEY
Corresponding Secretary, King
Park Chapter, Civil Service
Employees Association

‘The latest statistics on the over,
all cost-of-living puts the figury
at 103 per cent above the pre
war level. In this picture are in,
cluded luxuries which the averagg
worker never had and surely never
will. But when we come down tg
basic commodities, we find that
the present living cost nas jumped,
not 103 per cent but more than
four times above the 1938 figure,

Against this dizzy day-by-ciay
market spiral, the wages of in.
dustrial workers and all othe
members of organized labor hays
been adequately increased—jn
some cases every other month.
to meet the ever-changing econ.
mic situation.

However, in the case of public
servants and most other white.
collar workers, there is no sich
flexible wage adjustment. You are
obliged to carry on from year to
year on the same old fixed salary
regardless of how the market muy
fluctuate. For those engaged in
the State hospitals, for example,
the total cost-of-living increase
for all the years of the war and
down to the present day, averages
only 25 per cent on the Feld.
Hamilton Schedules, which are
based on the 1938 cost-of-livir

One of our few methods of re.
dress is to weep on the door-siep
of a Salary Board whose survey
and wage recommendations (with
nothing more than straight pay
for overtime) leaves little doubt
that it is opposed to anything like
the prevailing wage rate for like
work, This is especially so in the
Mental Hygiene Depariment. And
should the Board find it in its
heart to recommend as little as a
few extra cents an hour, that
decision would be subject to the
approval of a Budget Director
whose unfavorable attitude to-
wards a living wage is only too
well know. to us.

The failure of the Budget Di-
rector to pay the 7% per cent
bonus for hazardous duty in the
State Hospitals—outstanding since
October, 1945—is another example
of the extraordinary power now
vested in him, and of what we are
up against under this new salary
set-up,

Meanwhile the unsound and wn-
just wage policy of the State |s
being reflected in the steady de-
terioration of this all-important
brand of public service, a deter-
joration that stands out as if in
mockery against all the assurances
of the administration in its early
days that it would-lift the depart-
ment from the mire into which
it had fallen at the hands of its
predecessors,

The manpower situation today
is little better than it was in the
dark hours of the national emer-
gency, The failure of the Salary
Board to recommend the pre
ing wage rate for comparable
service in other fields, and the
reluctance of the Budget Director
to sanction any increase at ll,
has resulted in nothing but the
poorest kind of help offering their
services—and even this class of
worker cannot be induced to re-
main on the job longer than &
few weeks. This is especially true
of the ward service—the back-
bone of the entire hospital organi-
zation. But we are faring little
better in other departments, with
PEVBISIADS high on our priority

st.

Consequently, the wards of the
State, civilians and ex-service
people alike, are unavoidably not
having the care they deserve. With
the ever lowering morale of the
present depleted staff, which 1s
over worked—literally bending
under the ever-increasing pressure
of the economic crisis and vil-
tually tied to the position by
reason of long years of service,
the high standard of efficientY
usually maintained in all of ov!
mental institutions has dropped
to a new low level.

Now, if the State has an obli-
gation to its wards, as it has ‘0
all of its people, it also has a?
obligation to its 40-odd thousands
of public servants, And since the
powers that be can apparently “0
nothing to control the dizay spi")
of commodity prices, why cannot
we of the State service haye th’
same flexible salary arrangeme)?
now applied to organized labo!

Will the wards of the Sta‘e
have to wait for another day—
the day of depression—when 1°
State can have all the help »
needs ai itsowm price?

Attendant Jobs Offered by State

Hundreds of Attendant jobs
now are obtainable in State hos-
pitals and schools at $1,600 to
$2,200, the State Department of
Mental Hygiene announced. Can-
didates will
choose the hospital where they
wish to serve.

Applicants must be in good
Physical condition and must be
able to read and write with facil-
ity, and follow simple instructions.
They should have an aptitude for
caring for sick persons,

Attendants generally are given
a number of patients to care for
in a ward of the institution. They
look after their groups of patients,
seeing that they are fed, kept
clean and are contented. In State
schools, Attendants help care for
mentally defective or epileptic
children, feed them, help them
dress and teach them to care for
themselves,

Can Take Exam Later

Persons who become Attendants
are permitted to become a mem-
ber of the State Employees Re-
tirement System and receive paid
vacations and holidays.

There are regular steps of pro-
motion from these jobs which pay
greater salaries and offer greater
opportunities. Very few employees
with ability remain in basic posi-
tions for long periods of time,
Employees who have a basic high
school education, which includes
certain minimum courses, may
enroll in nurses’ training schools
which are operated by almost all
of the institutions. These training
schools pay wages while you are
learning, which are approximate-
ly half of the basic wage quoted.
‘These courses are for a period of
three years and a graduate 4s
eligible for taking the examina-
tion to become a registered nurse.
‘These courses are open to both
men and women.

Attendants who are citizens
may take a Civil Service exami-
nation and if they pass will
become competitive Civil Service
employees. Those employees who
do not become competitive, how-
ever, enjoy most of the legal
rights and privileges of comipetis
tive employees,

time, and that's that. The State,
on the other hand, is compelled
to undertake a complicated pro-
cedure with several departments
having a hand in the pie. 3. Vet-
erans preference complicates mat-
ters. 4. Some 35,000 items have to
be passed on every two weeks by
the Civil Service Commission for
qualifications, Other agencies
must pass on these items. Much
precision teamwork is required.
5. Most people do get paid regu-
larly. 6. The Personnel Council is
now trying to work out some
method of better liaison.

WANTAGH—Considerable in-
terest was shown at the monthly
meeting of the Long Island State
Inter-county Park Chapter of The
Civil Service Employees Associa-

was held so soon after the annual
get-together of the Association
that there was insufficient time
to obtain printed matter on the

only the facts given in the excerpt,
and not your own opinions or
knowledge.

“In difficult times it is increas-
ingly hard for a young man, on

or privilege, to gain a useful place
in private business. Great utilities
operating with public franchises
discriminate racially in employ-
ment against certain groups. Only
in the public service is @ career
open on an absolutely equivalent
basis to all races, creeds and po-
litical beliefs. Of special import
ance is this policy at a time when
savage, medieval doctrines of dis-
crimination and oppression are
sweeping so large a portion of the
world. Forever firmly planted
against such barbaric oppression
is true administration of the merit
system.” (From the Annual Re-
port of the Municipal Civil Serv-
ice Commission for the year 1937.)

7. A true merit system acts as
a bulwark for democratic prin-
ciples and ideals.

8. Public utilities do not dis-
criminate against individuals
whose political views differ from
their own.

9. An individual who is of the
same political faith as the party
in power can pursue more rapidly
his career in the public service.

10. The doctrines of
tion and oppression that are be-
ing disseminated in many sections
of the world are the essence of
modernism in this generation.

smbers were eligible to vote.
Single Plan for Officers
Although the Firemen have a
nited choice as to their tours
duty, the policy of the Pire
ministration is that the officers
hl have to abide by a single
jan, because any optional ar-
gement would be administra-
y impossible. ‘The vote for

breathe a little easier with the
hope that it will relieve some of
the traffic snarls that occurred at
the Delancy St. end of the bridge.

The second alarm in that De-
lancey St. clothing store last Mon-
day morning was short, to say the
least, Under the able guidance of
Deputy-Chief-in-Charge Timothy
Guinee and D, C. Henry Witte-
kind, 1st Division, the fire was
extinguished in less time than it
takes with most “all hands” jobs,
with damage kept to the first two

Holy Name Society
Holds Big Parade;
NYC Fire Group in It

The Fire Department Holy
Name Society (both branches),
under the leadership of Fireman
Tom Cullinan, President of the
Manhattan group, journeyed to
Boston recently to parade with
100,000 others at the close of the
National Holy Name Convention.
Approximately 800 officers and
firemen attended Mass. They went
and returned by special train.

Among the leaders were Fire-
men F, Gorman, E. Fox, J. Mc-
Feeley, J. Walsh, T, Murray, F.
Hyland, J. McKenna, M. Rose, C.
Early and W. Tracy, Lieutenants
J, Dalton and J. Mullen, and
Chiefs N. Perlman and C. Senner.

With West Point-like precision,
the companies and battalions
marched behind their banners to
the strains of the Boston F.D,
Band and the plaudits of the
crowds, At the main reviewing
stand, Archbishop Cushing was 50
impressed by the “living cross”
formed of officers in white hats
that he stopped them and one of
the officers kissed his ring.

Leading the contingent were
the officers under the
Deputy Chief in Charge, Richard
Burke. Also prominent among the
leaders were the Executive Board
members of both the Uniformed
Fire Officers Association and the
Uniformed Firemen’s Association.

Eligibles

Are Speeded Up

{ Special to The LUADER
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.—Con-

tinuing its campaign to squeeze

War-service and temporary em-

ployees out of the service and
give the jobs to displaced em~-
ployees with status, or eligibles
who passed regular tests, the U.S.
Civil Service Commission has
authorized Federal agencies to
make appointment from registers
to fill jobs from which war-serv-
ice and temporary appointees ar

to be ousted. The “authorization”
is an opportunity to the agencies
to avoid the compulsion of dis-
placement orders.

Appointment from the registers |
would be probational, leading to}

permanency after successful com-

pletion of the probationary period.

The Commission explains that
the new move will permit the
agencies to “assist voluntarily” in
the conversion of the Federal
service from a war-time to peace-
time basis, without awaiting is-
suance of a displacement order.

The action is intended to speed
up appointments from the new
registers of eligibles.

Non-status Stenos, CAF-4, can
no longer be appointed in the
Washington area, effective today.
Authority to make temporary ap-
pointment of such employees or
promote them has been withdrawn
by the Commission, It states there
are plenty of displaced carrier
employees qualified for Grade 4
'Steno jobs

Laid-off Career Employees
Are Getting Their Johs Back

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20— The}

latest score on Civil Service Com-
mission's drastic quota system, to
force the firing of war service and
temporary employees and make
room for laid-off career workers,
has produced the following results:

Some 59 Accountants and Audi-
tors have been placed and 148 ten-
tatively placed, For Economists, 59
definite placements, 92 tentative;
and for Statisticians, 31 definite
placements, 98 tentative. About
300 Accountants and Auditors
with permanent status were re-
ported to have been without jobs
when the Commission’s program

first got under way, and about
the same number of Economists
and Statisticians. Assuming that
those listed as “tentatively” placed
will be taken care of, the Com-
mission’s program has disposed of
a majority of these cases.

The Commission has begun try-
ing to find plates for about 300
laid-off Information Specialists
and administrative and budget of-
ficers. This, the Commission says,
is the last big group of employees
to be placed, Remaining displaced
career workers represent a wide
variety of skills and professions,
but only a few are In each job
