‘low Many Women Will You Hire?’
Agencies Asked in Government Survey

WASHINGTON. — Women by
the thousands, the tens of
thousands and by the hundveds of
thousands will be hired by the
Feveral Government within the
next year,

It's now estimated, unofficially,
by a Civil Service official, that
f a million women must be
hired by the Federal Government

within the next 14 months.
Civil. Sezvice estimates that
there are now about two million
civ'l service employees. It is pre-
dicted that the net figure will
reach three million by July 1,
1943. And officials believe that

half of the new workers must be
recruited from the ranks of
women,

An important factor is the fact
that men today are leaving their
Federel jobs by the hundreds to

join the armed forces. The re-
placement problem is becoming
acute

Solution of the problem is in
hiring women, and that's where
the Government is looking.

Of course, private employers,
too, are looking to women for the
solution of their labor problems.
However, there is apparently an
ample supply of women power to
cover the needs of both industry
Government, Federal of-
s say there are roughly 27
on women available for
work —th counting non-work-
ing housewives, college students
and the like—and it will be fairly
simple to put 5,000,000 to work.

‘aboos Breaking Dov
The old taboos against the hir-
ing of women in both the factory
and the government office are
fast disappearing. It isn't unusuat

cally to request women

As Messengers

Since the early days of this Re-

almost exclusively in messenger
jobs in Federal agencies in Wash-

But this year tho

Few girl messengers are being

25 were hired during the first
three months of this year outside
of Washington, but the logjam
has been broken and you can ex-
pect large numbers of girls to be
hired from now on.

Surveying Needs
With the supply of available

Lucille Foster McMillin, U.S. Civil Service Commissioner, has
long been interested in pushing women forward tn Government

service.

The war has given her the big chance.

Now U.S. de-

partments are being asked to state how many women they can nse.

the Civil Service Commission has

would be willing to hire and at
what jobs.

The study being made of the
department service is of great
interest, Federal agencies re-
port they are now willing to hire
women as chauffeurs, as oper-
ators of light tractors and trucks,
and for many other manual labor
jobs.

At the Washington Navy Yard,
the Brooklyn Navy Yard and all
other Navy Yards and Army ar-
senals the gates are being thrown
wide open to women,

War Jobs
In the Washington yard alone
there are now more than 1,700
jobs which are available to
women who can qualify. Most of
these jobs ave in the learner
classification, In other words, the

untrained are taught to do the
job and once the tricks are
ned the pay is good.

At the Chemical Warfare Serv-
ice at Edgewood, Maryland, not
far form Baltimore, women are
being hired to help machinists
and electricians, to pack muni-
tions, end to operate gas mask
machines. War Department's
Ordnance shop at Huntington,
West Virginia, has a number of
openings for women trainees, The
starting salary 1s $1,020, and when
they learn the ropes they are
given substantial salary boosts,

The Navy is hiring women to
make model planes at Langley

WASHINGTON,—The dri

Rumor in Washington has the
President taking the initiative in
the pay-raise drive, It's reported
that the President will send ident-
ical letters to the Vice-President
(presiding officer of the Senate)
and the Speaker of the House per-
sonally to urge immediate action
on the pay raises.

Members of Congre’
won't take up the cudgels and
fight for pay raises after the
President’ peech urging a stabil-

Some observers believe the
President will remain consistent
in his labor policy and asked that
it be applied to the Government;
that is, that time and a half be
paid after 40 hours, But none of
the observers believe Congress
will go along with it if the pro-

iduals in relieving military per-
sonnel for command and combat
duties; to train qualified persons
for technical positions where the
demand exceeds the supply; to
util consultants on a tempo-
rary or part-time basis such
professional and other specialists
as may be required by the Army;
to give the protection of the uni-
form to certain civilian employees
of the War Department whose
duties may make them liable to
capture; and to enable the Army
to use the services of persons who
would not otherwise be eligible
for active duty because of age or
physical requirements,

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

iurly Budget Director Kenneth
payton, godfather of the big
plan to reorganize the methods
by which the departments do
things in N.Y.C.

(Exclusive)
It started as an attempt to put
ney into the city depart-
ments, But it may grow to the
foint where it will look like sub-

stantial reorganization of depart-
mental practices,

Here, for the first time any-
where, is the whole story of the
biggest change looming in yi
for New York City’s depart-
ments and the manner in which
they perform their vital services.

Godfather of the plan is tough,
shy Kenneth Dayton, Budget Di-
rector, He's not quite sure wheth-
er he thought up the plan orig-
inally, but he says it developed
in conversations with other offi-
cials about their various prob-
lems.

In due time, there was set up 2
Committee for the Simplication
of Procedures,

What was the purpose of the
committee, we asked Mr, Dayton.

‘Three Reasons

Dayton looked pensive, puffed
away at his perennial pipe, made

a slow turn inf his swivel chair,
leaned back
“Well, there are three reasons,

(1) Money for personnel was de-
creasing. (2) We wanted to avoid
layoffs of employees in the
future, which meant we would
have to do something about it
now. (3) And we decided that
departments with less personnel
would have to learn how to do
their worle with less.’

A special group fraaaiing
the Civil Service Commission, th»

Bureau of the Budget, Depart-
ment of Purchase, and the Comp-
troller’s office went to work in an
endeavor to think up solid sug-
gestions, Responsibility for reor-
ganization resis with the depart-
ments themselves, but the com-
mittee will give aid when desired.
Suggestions from employees will
be sought.

To date the groundwork

ach department will have to
ask itself, about everything it
does: “Why, what, how, who,
where, and when is the Work to

What will this mean

savin,
Said Dayton: “The savings
won't be large, in terms of per-

sonnel, In terms of meeting the
problems of surplus staff, ho’

ever, the work of the committ
will be quite substantial.” He
went on to admit, however, that
“a good many departments
haven't got surplus staff.’’
‘Pool’ of Employees

“pool” of employees. Into this
pool will go the names of persons
who ‘may be transferred becau:

they are not needed for jobs
which they now do." The
idea is to find jobs for these em.
ployees in other activities. As
this reporter understands _ it,
when a department needs new
employees, it will go first to the
“pool’’ and utilize persons whose
names are listed there, if they
are in the same grade and posi
tion, before asking the Civil s
vice Commission for the n
of persons from eligible lists.
How about the layoffs threat
ened in the Mayor's recent
budget message?

“We'll try to find positions for
them through transfer. We have

mi

a list of every person laid off
We'll try to match them with
jobs."*
Mr. Ddyton pointed out that the
efficiency process must be ruth
in the sense that y work
which didn’t produce ‘results
commensurate with the cost

have to be eliminated.’

department has been
to draw up an_ organiza
tional chart. Some of the present
charts, said Mr, Dayton, “aren't
realistic,” don’t give an accurate
picture of what's going on. In all
such cases, the departments must
produce new charts, showing just
what's happening, who does
what, and how.

The charts must be a complete
breakdown of the personnel into
actual operating units, even
though these units sometimes
consist of only one person who is
performing one function.

would
Each
asked

Mr. Dayton said it hasn't been
completely decided who would
constitute the field staff, But
will consist of people having
knowledge of procedures and ad-
ministration.

“The job will ne

vend," sai

the Budget Director, “I thinle
it ought to be a continuing
procedure. By the time we solve

one set of problems another set

will have arisen.”

The 1 setup will probably
operate under the eye of the
Budget Director, with participa-

tion from the Civil Service Com-
mission and possibly the Office of
Investigation

June 1 is the tentative date for
the beginning of operations

Upon one phase of all this, Mr.
Dayton turned again and again.
“Please say it is not a thveat
to positions on the payroll, but
rather a protection, If this had
been started a year ago, the lay-
offs which have eventuated would
have been unnceessary, Nor will
the plan be used to force salary
decreases,"

Of particular interest to civil
service employees is the fact that
there will be much cross-borrow-
ing among the departments (not
transfers—but borrowings)

It will also mean, in all prob-
ability, less examinations, since,
where possible, positions will by
filled from the central pool of
employees or by borrowing from
other departments.

879 Pass Test
For Asst. Gardener

The average candidate for the
assist. gardener examination
received a mark of 91.02, Paul
Brennan, director of the phy 1
and medical bureau of the Civil
Service Commission, estimated
this week,

‘The examinations were conclud-
ed in the offices of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission Saturday, With
but thirty candidates to go, the
final figures revealed that 879
passed, 9 failed and 42 were given
conditional medical rejection

Originally 2.59% applications
were filed for this examination.
The candidates were rated solely
on the basis of a physical test.
Only those who first passed a
qualifying literacy test were ad-
mitted to the physical exam. As
usual, many candidates failed to
show up for reasons of their own.

As soon as the list is compiled
by the Civil Service Commission,
the successful candidates will be
certified to assistant gardener jobs,
on city projects located outside
the city limits, Assistant garden-
ers are paid on a per diem basis
at the rate of $5.90 a day. .

At least half of these (it

Civil Service Commission with
letters asking the one question,
“Do I get my dollar back?"”

The answer is Defin-
itely, No!

her of the armed forces. On this
basis, many civil service em-
ployee: throughout the State

joined the reserves before
signing of the bill.

On the face of it, it seemed that
the Comptroller was selecting an
arbitrary date—December 7—as
the buse for stopping the differ-
entials. This seemed to be in
contradiction to the Brees bill,
which named a definite date—the
day of its own signing by the
Governor—as the time when pay
differentials would cease.

“parenthetical Observation”
The LEADER asked the Comp-
troller’s office for an explanation
of this apparent contradiction,
Explained John Haslett, secretary
of the department: The memo-
randum was submitted not on the
basis of the Brees bill, but on the
basis of a “parenthetical obser-
vation” in the Shientag decision
which seemed to delimit the bene-
fits of the Military Law to those
who had joined the reserve forces
in peacetime, The Comptroller
had sent out the memorandum at

‘The Two Dates

ment told The LEADER that he
felt there was no contradiction
between the Brees bill and his
department's interpretation of the
Shientag decision. He put it this
way: "The Brees bill cut off the

along and stopped it at an earlier
date, December 7.’*

H. Eliot Kaplan, executive sec-
retary of the Civil Service Reform
Association, had a different view.
Mr, Kaplan says, “I couldn’t help
but conclude that Shientag passed
only a particular case, and hasn't
attempted to lay down a general
rule, I do not believe the Comp-
troller should have stopped the
differential on the basis of gener-
alizing from the Shientag de-
cision. It is always a dangerous
thing to generalize from judicial
decisions. I feel that the de-
cision dealt with the case of
Henry Williams, who wasn't en-
titled to the differential because
his enlistment was for almost im-
mediate active service. {He was
inducted into active service one
day after enlisting.—Ed.] This
doesn’t seem to apply to the case
of those employees whose salary
differentials have been stopped
by the Comptroller's office. The
circumstances in the Williams
case are not necessarily the cir-
cumstances in their cases. And
ft may well be that injustices
have resulted.”

Attorney General for April 1

The LEADER quéried the At-
torney General's office in Albany.

So far as the office of the At-
torney General is concerned, it
stands on the opinion given The
LEADER weeks ago that any
public employee enlisting in any
of the military or naval reserve
forces on or before April 1 is en-
titled to differential pay.

In the absence of Attorney Gen-
eral Bennett, his deputies made
clear that instead of weakening
Section 245 of the Military Law,
authorizing the differentials, the
Brees amendment passed by the
Legislature and approved by the
Governor, has made the scope of
the act even more positive

‘The amendment by positive lun
guage provides that any public
employee enlisting in the reserve
forces prior to the effective date
of the bill, which was April 1, is
fully entitled to his differential
pay, whether, after enlistment, he
is called at once to ordered duty
or not. In‘ other words, the af-
firmative language of the Brees
amendment is construed here as
clinching the differential pay-
ment, for enlistments prior to
April 1, whether the enlisted man
was summoned at once or weeks
after his enlistment.

The LEADER has learned that
the case of Williams vs. Walsh
will be re-areued. The State is
no party to it. But the opinion
in the Attorney General's office
is that the court's interpretation
of the law is open to question,

John J, Hughes, president of
the group, on Friday night, May
8, chided Council President New-
bold Morris “for contending that
Boy. Scouts could augment the de-
pleted Parks Department forces.” |

Said Hughes: ‘In the name of
war, we are given a budget which
penalizes the public by denying
them the use of essential services,
Small-salaried civil employe
who manned these facilities are
to be sacrificed, It is our right
to petition when depleted forces
endanger and threaten the health
or property of our citizens,"

Committeemen representing
tendants in the Parks Depart-
ment were directed vigorously to
oppose the Park per annum bill
now in the City Council.

Secretary of the Civil Service
League is Thomas Hagan. Mr.
Hughes and Mr, Hagan may be

File Now—Chances
Good for Cop Job

The filing for the New York
City patrolman exam is smaller
-—and this means that the chances
of each man who files corres-
pondingly improve. The LEAD-
ER urges all young men who
meet the requirements to file at
ence, As a matter of fact, it isn’t
at all impossible that all those
passing the tést n eventually
jobs, Precisely this prediction
was forecast by an official of the
ivil Service Commission.

The problem of a small filing
on the patrolman examination is,

of cour highly disturbing.
Several reasons are being ad-
vanced for the paucity of young
men applying for this hitherto
popular test, Not least among

the reasons is, of course, the war.
Men who ordinarily would become

cager candidates for this position
are now either in the armed
forces or making good salaries in

war jobs.

One factor, curiously, that may
be lowering the filing came to
light as LEADER reporters ques-
tioned young men on other eli-
gible lists who normally should
file, but haven't. The answers
point to a factor which the Civil
Service Commission thought
would relieve the pressure at its
own offices and at the same time
help the candidates: that is, the

place of filing.
Prospective candidates just
aren't wz to the City Collec-

tors' Said one young
man: Manhattan, but
I live in Queens, I can’t ever

Hall without taking a half-day off

Another fellow, also a Queens
resident, said the filing place “is

Saturday Is Deadline
For Patrolman Filing

Applications for the patrolman
examination, open to young men
between the ages of 19 and 29,
must be filed by 3 p.m., Saturday,
May 16. The applications must
be filed in the office of the City

the candidate lives. The appli-
cations can only be obtained in
the office of the City Collector.
‘The applications are not being
issued and cannot be filed in the
offices of the Civil Service Com-

too far out. I never have a
chance to get there.”
Most of the boys questioned

didn't know where the buildings

in their boroughs are located.
Others, given the location, didn’t
know how to get there.

The LEADER feels that all
young men who have refrained
from applying for a career in the
New York City police service be-
cause of such reasons should al-
ter their attitude at once, and
find some way of getting to the
offices in their boroughs where
applications are available. Don’t
lost this opportunity for a career.
If you're in 1-A, remember that
the job will be held for you if
you pass the test and then go into
the army.

Council Committee’s Funeral

Dirge On the Budget

The 1942 battle of the budget
this week came down to a duel
over one burning question:

Has the City Council the right
to seek to reduce the budget in
an unprecedented manner because
of the wartime emergency?

Councilman Joseph E, Kinsley,
Bronxite chairman of the Council
Finance Committee, snarled that
his committee will ask no such
thing. He made that decision at
Thursday's public budget hearing
in the Council's City Hall cham-
bers, where the committee did
nothing but hear calls for further
reductions.

Henry Feinstein and William P.
Flood (the latter a former alder
man), of the Federation of Mu-
nicipal Employees, insisted that,
in the public interest, the Finance
Committee consider its elaborate
plan to slash at least $30,000,000
from the city’s expenses, The plan
is to place a ceiling of 214 percent
on city-issued bonds which now
run as high as 7 percent.

Councilman Kinsley said it’s un-
constitutional. The charter pri
vents the interest reduction unless
such reduction is first legalized.
What's mor id he, the Fein-
stein-Flood proposition isn’t speci-
fically designed to bring about a
direct reduction in the budg

Give Other Cases

Messrs. Feinstein and Flood,
however, pointed out that Mayor
LaGuardia's omission of the pav-
ing item in the proposed budget is
strictly illegal; moreover, that the
State Sipreme Court only recent-
ly upheld the right of the Police
Pension Fund's Board of Trustees
to defer the applications for re-
tirement of a number of patrol

examination must be not less than
5 feet 8 inches in heignt, weigh at
least 140 pounds, have perfect
vision 20/20 each eye, without
glasses, Candidates will also be
required to submit proof of good
character. No extra credits will be
allowed on this examination for
college education.

Relatives of young men in mili-
tary service should hurry if they
wish to obtain applications for
them. Applications for military
candidates can be filed by mail-
ing them to the Civil Service
Commission, 299 Broadway, New
York City. Only military service
applications can be issued and re-
ceived in the mail.

Is His Face Red!

Councilman Joseph E. Kin-
sley’s face is likely to go deep,
deep crimson if you ask him
naively: ‘Is Councilwoman
Gertrude Weil Klein a member
of your Finance Committee or
isn't she?

Councilman Kinsley, in a fit
of anger, roared to all and sun-
dry during Thursday's public
budget hearing conducted by
the City Council Finance Com-
mittee that Mrs. Klein was not
a member of the committee.
‘Therefore: ‘you have no right
to talk!”?

Several seconds later Mrs.
Klein disillusioned him as to
her status. And did Joseph
blush!

Councilwoman Klein —_in-
formed The LEADER later she
was ‘surprised Mr. Kinsley
didn't know” she was a mem-
ber of the committee, “espe-
cially since we've had several
battles in the Council in the
past and particularly since I've

sgee meeting. I just don’t know
how to interpret his doubting

came to a conclusion on April 24.

As Chairman of the Civil Serv-
fee Committee of the Senate, I
have had an opportunity to gain
a broadened outlook on the prob-
lems of the civil service system
as a whole and of the civil service
worker as an individual.» Con-
sideration of these measures often
entailed a careful balancing of
the divergent interests of various
groups concerned, such as depart-
ment and administrative heads,
civil service advocates and em-
ployee organizations, It was often
necessary to reconcile these wide-
ly separated viewpoints in order
to give primary consideration to
the protection of the interests of
the civil service worker.

The 1-A Men

One of the pressing emergencies
to be met through legislation was
the situation caused by the eli-
gibles on the New York City po-
lice and fire lists, who were about
to be drafted. In view of the fact
that the law prohibits the passing
over of persons on lists it would
be impossible for the.man in 3-A
to be appointed in preference to
the ones in 1-A. Rather than to
begin training these men and
then have them taken by the
army, the city has made few ap-
pointments to the police and fire
forces in many months. This con-
dition held up the announcement
of a new patrolmen’s examina-
tion The only answer was legis-
lation permitting the departments
to pass over men on eligible lists
in 1-A, I was urged to introduce
@ measure to reconcile the situa-
tion, At the same time I insisted
that full protection and seniority
be given to the men who were
passed over, Amendments to as-
sure such protection were made
to the original bill. The places
of the men in 1-A would be re-
tained on the eligible lists and
they would be be given the same
seniority rating as if they had

been in the department for the
time they are in the military
service.

Protection for Eligibles
The civil service eligible who
has been drafted or has enlisted
in the armed forces will have
further protection under another
measure of mine now awaiting
the Governor's signature. This
bill provides that the name of the

civil service eligible, if reached
for certification during his ab-
sence in military service, will be
placed on a special eligible list
after his return to civilian life
and will remain on this list for
two years. The list shall have
priority over any other eligible
list for the same position. The
new measure also allows a civil
service employee in military serv-
ice credit for average efficiency
ratings which he received for
three periods immediately prior
to absence on military service.

Pay Differential

Most important to civil em-
ployees on military leave of ab-
sence is the bill by Assemblyman
Breés. which confines the pay
differential to persons who were
members of the national guard,
naval militia, reserve corps or
were in the federal military serv-
ice before April 1, 1942. It also
prohibits such differential pay in
case of substitute appointments
of persons filling the places of
employees already called to the
military service.

Another Brees bill affecting
compensation of. men in the
armed service provides that com-
pensation allowance to civil serv-
ice employees on military or
naval duty shall not be given per-
sons drafted under the Selective
Service Act of 1940 or drafted and
thereafter discharged and recalled
to active service, or to substitute
employees.

Protecting Tenure
Another proposal prompted by
the war situation is one by As-
semblyman Austin, which would
protect tenure and other civil
service rights of public employees
who voluntarily enlist in the
armed forces, as well as those
who are drafted and called for
service.» This bill has passed both
houses of the Legislature and is
now on the Governor's desk.

War Job Residence

Protection for the civil service
eligible who takes a defense job
out of the city limits or accepts
a position in the State service is
provided in a bill which I intro-
duced, now before the Governor.
‘The bill allows a person on an eli-
gible list who accepts a position
in the State service or in a de-
fense organization or industry,

IVIL SERVICE IN NEW YORK STATE

and is required to live outside of
his own city, town or village, to
continue to be eligible for ap-
pointment therein if he has not
voted in any other place or taken
other affirmative action to change
his place of legal residence. If
signed by the Governor this bill
will waive the Lyons Law of New
York City and similar residence
restrictions which have been set
up since extension of the civil
service throughout the counties,
towns, “villages and school dis-
tricts of the State. The Civil
Service LEADER deserves much
credit for this bill, as it was
prompted by one of its editorials.

To provide the same privileges
in case of removal as are now
accorded veterans of prior wars,
a bill by Senator Johnson has
beon adopted, providing that vet-
erans of the present war shall not
be removed from civil service po-
sitions except for incompetency
shown after a hearing.

Removal Charges

One of the more important
measures affecting the civil serv-
ice employees, now before the
Governor, is one by Senator Ma-
honey, which gives employees of
cities or other civil divisions the
same right of review by the Civil
Service Commission in case of re-
moval and extends the right of a
hearing and review by the courts
to all employees in the compe-
titive class.

If an employee has been unlaw-
fully removed and later restored
to his position by law, he shall
receive salary from the date of
removal, less the amount received
from any other employment, un-
der the bill by Senator Esquirol,
now before the Governor.

‘Another bill by Senator Gutman,
granting the employee the right
to be represented by counsel at a
hearing on charges of suspension,
removal or disciplinary action, 1s
on the Governor's desk.

Per Annum Pay For Doctors

Designed to meet the situation
in the Health and Hospital de-
partments of the City of New
York, Senator Muzzicato's bill
was passed by the Legislature
providing that physicians, medical
inspectors and dentists appointed
or promoted to competitive civil
service positions in cities and em-

What’s Been Happening
With Prison Guard List?

ALBANY. — Officials of the
State Correction Department said
this week that approximately 70
permanent appointments had
been made from the prison guard
list established in June, 1941,
Some 7,500 applicants filed for
the test; 5,500 took it; and about
4,500 were on the eligible list as
established.

Previous to establishment of
the list there were some 35 or 37
provisional appointees, Some of
these received permanent appoint-
ments and some failed to qualify.

Between 80 and 90 temporary
appointments have meen made,
the vast majority of these to fill
positions vacated by guards
called into the military or naval
service. Those positions are kept
open for the service men and will
be kept open until six months
after the end of the war,

Officials estimated that approx-
imately 30 eligibles have recefved
appointments to the United States
Customs Guards service. These
have been canvassed where a
temporary opening for prison
guard occurred, but invariably
the response has been in the neg-
ative, The boys want a perma-
nent appointment.

opened,

State Commission Will
Cooperate WithProbers

ALBANY. — Anticipating. posi-

tive action on plans for a com-
mittee investigation of civil ser-
viee, the New York State Civil
Service Commission summoned
bureau and division heads to a
niceting at which they were told
to cooperate fully with the in-
quiry.
Thi dt was widely inter-
preted this we indicating
evnor Lehman will ap-
prove the $25,000 supplemental
budget item to finance the inves

Measure passed by the 1942 Leg-
islature, is still awaiting Mr.
Ichman's action, but probably
will not get his tion until
late in the month.
After adopting the Hollowell

olution authorizing the inquiry
and setting vp the machinery for

a probe not only of state but
municipal civil service depart-
ments as well, the Legislatur
provided 000 for expenses.

‘This the Governor could veto; he

Thus if he vetoes the approp

sion thinks the prove 1s coming

no matter what the Governor

Legislative ders report they
have been getting a number of

letters from persons citing alleged
grievances against the administra-
tion of the» State Commission.
Many of these are unsigned.
Others are signed, and a number
of them include statements to the
effect: “I will be glad to appear
and testify before vour commit-
tee."

It is obvious that the proposed
inquiry has met with wide public
interest. ‘The supposition here is

that unless the inquiry is turned
into an outright political fishing
excursion, it would be continued
for another year.
Democrats Argue Against Probe
High-ranking Democrats have
| their conviction that the
tigation is purely political.
This hasn't been denied even by
anking members of the GOP,
who argue that all such probes
Politically inspired, but this

t prevent them from un-
earthing abuses
Another point being made by

Democrats who presumably have
been in touch with the Governor
is this: the probe will try to show
that large numbers of New York
City residents appear on State
lists, and this information might
be used politically upstate, In an-
swer, it is pointed out that if
large numbers of New Yorkers ap-
pear on lists, the reason is that
large numbers of New Yorkers
take civil service exams. Particu-
larly today, when upstate resi-
dents are being absorbed in war
industries, while priorities unem-
Ployment is increasing in New
York City, it is unavoidable that
the number of New Yorkers on
lists shall be high. In any case,
this is a situation which can’t be
avoided without breaking into the
merit system.

A third argument being made
by Democrats is that the Repub-
licans want to shackle the opera-
tion of the Fite Act and the ex-
tension of civil service generally
scheduled to go into effect on
July 1. The Fite Act makes it
imperative for all communities
in the State to select one of three
forms of civil service aaministra-
tion, either a county civil service
board, a county personnel admin-
istrator, or supervision by the
State Civil Service Commission it-
self. The point is maae that the
scope of the investigation was de-
liberately extended to include
communities so that focal political
figures could testify as to the
“unworkability” or “unfeasibil-
ity” of the Fite Act,

Nevertheless, the consensus of
informed opinion as The LEAD-

Officials May

ALBANY.—The hard hand of
war is about to deprive many
State department heads and les-
Ser officials of their State-owned

In response to an order of Gov-
ernor Lehman, hearings will be-
gin at the Capitol next week at
which department heads or their
representatives. including even
the State Police, will have to jus-
tify use of the cars assigned them
and their reasons for retaining
the vehicles, The alternative is
dead-storage for every car that
doesn't get an official okay.

Many of the trucks, cars, motor-
cycles will go into dead-storage
for the duration, it is expected, by
order of the State Rationing
Board, of which Conservation

Commissioner Lithgow Osborne is
chairman,

Governor Lehman has issued
two other strict orders for the
conservation of State automotive
equipment, fuel, and tires. He has
directed that no State vehicle be
driven more than 40 miles an hour
—the new State speed limit—and
that consumption of gasoline for
every vehicle be cut drastically,

In compliance with the gasoline-
saving order, State Comptroller
Joseph V, O'Leary will now re-

It Sure Is a Mess;

Ask the Chauffeurs

(Exclusive)

ALBANY.—One of the tough-
est personnel problems ever
dropped into the lap of state of-
ficials confronts the State Ra-
tioning Committee, headed by
Conservation Commissioner Lith-
gow Osborne, in ironing out the
difficulties resulting from aboli-
tion of most state chauffeur
jobs.

In their efforts to reduce Gov-
ernor Lehman’s budget, the GOP
leaders of the 1942 Legislature
slashed from the appropriation
bill virtually every item for
chauffeurs, for tires and tubes,
and for passenger cars. Lump
sums, in amounts approximating
one-half the line items, were
substituted, leaving it up to the
Rationing Committee to distri-
bute the reduced amounts.

The budget carried appropria-
tions for chauffeurs totaling $79,-
100. Jobs of chauffeurs for the
Governor and the other elected
officials were retained. All others
were bracketed out. In the place
of these items, the Legislature
substituted one lump sum—$32,-
000. Now it is up to the Ration-
ing Committee to decide how
many chauffeurs will be hired
with that $32,000, at what salary,
and who. And there’s the rub.

Jobs of all the chauffeurs are
still good until July 1, the begin-
ning of the new fiscal year when
the revised budget takes effect.

Meanwhile the Rationing Com-
mittee, plus the Division of the
Budget and the State Civil Serv-
ice Department, must get to-
gether and decide what is to be
done after July 1. All of the jobs
are in the non-competitive civil
service and all of them come un-
der the provisions of the Feld-
Hamilton salary schedules. This
means the chauffeur jobs start’at
$1,500 and go to $2,000 a year, de-
pending upon years of service,

MENTAL HYGIENE

Women and War

The war has changed things
plenty over at Utica, Whereas, up
to a few months back, only men
were walking out for defense
jobs, women attendants are now
resigning in quick order. We've
been informed that nine women
attendants are missing, with war
jobs as the bait.

One of the group, a nurse with
a record of 20 years’ experience,
refused a day position and was
told to “accept it or else.” It was
“else” for her. She went off with
the group.

It is understood more employees
will follow this lead,

Chalk Up Another

The Association of State Civil
Service Employees is beaming
over passage of the bill providing
a pay increase of $100, or the
equivalent of an increment under
the Feld-Hamilton law, effective
July 1 of this year, The legisla-
tion applies to employees of State
institutions under the jurisdic-
tion of the Departments of Men-

But those with regular war yet,

claim they have preference in
tention, over all other consid:
tions. This they base on a sec
of the law which says that
jobs of veterans or firemen ayy
abolished they shall not be js.
charged but transferred.

On the theory that the “new
chauffeur jobs authorized by ihe
lump sum constitute like positions
for which-they are qualified,
veterans and the firemen
manding that they be “‘t
ferred” to those positions—a:
their previous wages.

This is disputed in some quar.
ters. The contention is that (he
“new'? jobs are really “new" and
that the transfer provision does
not apply.

Another point is whether fewer
chauffeurs are to be rehired at
their old salaries, or whether al
appointees to the lump sum j
are to be employed at the mini-
mum for the grade—which means
$1,500. If that occurs some of the
appointees going back to old jobs
under the new authorization are
going to have to take pay cuts
of $300 to $500 a year, for many
are getting up to $2,000.

It’s a mess, all agree. The Civil
Service Department is now mak-
ing some studies for the Ration-
ing Committee—to determine the
seniority and to look at the law

Some of the chauffeurs, espe-
cially those with veteran or fi
man status, are ready to make a
test in the courts if they are
given the go-by or are forced to
accept a pay cut in order to re
sume their jobs.

Important Bills Signed
Over the Week-end

ALBANY. — Numerous bills of
wide importance to civil service
employees were approved over
the week-end by Governor Leh-
man,

One of these provides a $100
bonus for all institution em-
ployees getting under $1,500 a
year, exclusive of maintenance,
It's effective July 1. The Gover-
nor, in a memorandum, recalled
he suggested such action, adding
“I think it is essential that the
low and inadequate salaries of
many of the employees in the in-
stitutions be increased as a mat-
ter of justice and in order to at-
tract and keep workers in the
service of the institution.’

The Governor signed the Muz-

zicato bill permitting New York
City pensioners to continue draw-
ing their public pensions while
in the military service; the Aus-
tin bill continuing protection by
statute of all civil service rights
and privileges of public employees
while in military service.
Another of the approved bills
was the Halpern measure which
provides that names of civil ser-
vice employees absent on military
duty shall remain on eligible civil
service lists for two years, in-
stead of one, after termination
of military service. The new law
also provides that the record of
the employee shall be credited

In PBA Fight

It looks like the big issue be-
tween the Pat Harnedy and Joe
Burkard factions in the PBA elec-
tion is the pension situation.

‘The greatest number of pension
applications to date are on file
for next Monday's meeting of the
Board of Trustees of the Police
Pension Fund. According to the
plan which seems to have been
adopted last month, the applica-
tions of 40 policemen, plus those
who apply because of disability,
are approved. The remaining ap-
plications are deferred for suc-
ceeding meetings of the Pension
Fund and are voted on in the
order of the dates in which they
were filed,

Shortly after the conclusion of
last month’s meeting of the Pen-
sion Fund, Sergeant Ross Monroe
told members of the Police Honor
Legion that, according to this
plan, the most recent application
filed would be approved in Octo-
ber, Because of this arrange-
ment, patrolmen who wish to re-
tire late this year or early next
year are putting in their applica-
tions now. ‘The plan has the
blessing of Mayor LaGuardia. It
has the support of one group in

other. A difference of opinion

Facts, Not Words!

AST week a speech was made which received much
L prominence in the daily press, I+ is an address to

which civil service employees should devote care-
{ul thought. In substance, Homer Folks, secretary of
the late Charities Aid Association, co!

demned the pres-
ent civil service promotion system. Szxid he: “It is in-
conceivable that persons w:th the requ’site vigor, re-
sourcefulness, ke

vdcdge, wisdom end personality to fill
the higher positions

can always be found among those
who entered the service in the lowest grade. When
there is no possibility of injecting new blood, there is
grave denger cf anemia in public service.” Mr, Folks

thinks, also, that it’s too difficult to fire civil service
employees,

There
widely held

And civil service employees must prepare
to mect that point of view with realism and logic—just
as in Englend, civil service employees, confronted with
the same viewpoint, met and conquered it. It’s particu-
larly important in time of war.

Tn the first place, Mr. Folks must stop playing with
words, and look at facts. The facts are: (1) New blood
is constantly pouring into government service, often to
the disadventage of employees now working; (2) the
career system is an enormcus impetus to persons enter-
ing the public service; (3) Mr. Folks’ impression that
the career system is no good doesa't check with the true
situation. One has only to witness the present New York
City administrators who have risen from the ranks—men
like Ccmmissioner Walsh of the Fire Department, Com-
missioner Valentine of the Police Department, Commis-
sioner Bernecker of Hospitals, Commissioner Quilty of
the Department of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity.
And if Mr. Folks will look around a bit, and see the men
and women now on the way up in government service—
city, State and federal—his eyes will open up.

The career service is one of the real advances of the
merit system. We're not arguing that new blood shouldn't
be brought in. But we are saying that there’s plenty of
excellent-quality blood right in the service. The Amer-
ican civil service is a tough, vigorous baby, and getting
Stronger, In time of war, it is showing its resilience by
adjusting itself magnificently. You have only to judge
it by its works, Homer Folks isn't judging it this way.
That's why we say he's playing with words, not looking
at facts.

Now let's take up another angle of his speech. He
feels it’s too difficult to dismiss civil service employees.
Again, what are the facts? A civil service employee
goes through a probationary period of six months to a
year, during which period he may be summarily fired, no
reason given. After that, he is subject to the whims of
supervisors, and in many departments can be kicked out
without a hearing or upon the slightest pretext of a dis-
gruntled bo: Surviving this, he has to put up with
“budgetary situation which may mean the loss of his
job anytime there's a lack of cash, That's happening
right new in New York City. Despite prevalent opinion,
the civil service employee lacks many of the protections
now accorded the worker in private industry. The Wag-
ner Act doesn't apply to him; his organizations don't
bargain collectively with governmental agencies in the

No, Mr, Folks, being a civil service employee is not
the soft bed of roses you picture it, The ordinary em-
ployee works hard, spends more hotirs on the job than
his brother in private industry, gives his services in many

he is good, as shown by competitive examination or ac-
complishment.

PASCAL MARSICO simply
wrote a letter to the Mayor say-
ing he wanted to be Secretary of
the Correction Department, And
he got the job!

That's how Marsico is. If he
wants something, he goes for it
in the most direct way. It’s a
methed that apparently works.
Long ago he had made up his
mind to reach his present posi-
tion. And though he has done
many things in the interim, there
he is—and the youngest depart-
mental secretary, too, at 29.

School and Work

Two hundred and five pound
Pascal Marsico looks like a foot-
ball player. But he’s essentially
a schoolman. He spent seven
years getting through City Col-
lege, going nights, while he held
down—also nights—the job of
on keeper in the city’s penal
itutions. Says he: “In the
evening I went to school, then at
midnight I went to work, at 8 in
the morning I was off, went home
to bed, then to the library. It
was school, work, sleep, library,
school, work, sleep, library, for
seven years.””

But this routine hasn't made
Pascal a dull boy. Far from it.
In fact, having taken his degvee
at CCNY, he went on to work

QUESTION, PLEASE

Types of NYC
Appointment

A.A.: A temporary appointment
in the New York City service is
one for a period of time not to ex-
ceed six months, It may be for a
few weeks or a few months, but
under no circumstances can it be
longer than six months. If your
services are required for longer
than six months, your name is re-
certified by the’ Civil Service
Commission and you are again
given a temporary appointment.

An indefinite appointment in the
City service is one for a period of
time longer than six months. The
position is one for which there
has not always been, and most
likely will not always be, a per
manent budget appropriation.
Frequently, it is for seasonal
work, such as the assistant gar
dener positions in the Parks De-
partment, which average about 9
months work a year.

Those who accept temporary
positions have their names re-
moyed from the list for a period
of 99 days. If their employment
should expire before the 90 days
have passed, their names are im-
mediately restored to the list.
Those who accept indefinite posi-
tions and work longer than six
months are considered permanent
employees. Consequently, when
their employment terminates,
they are entitled to be placed on
a preferred list.

Resigning a Job

0. K.: If you accepted a per-
manent appointment from the
Sanitation list for a job paying
more than $1,500 a year, you are
only eligible for appointment to
the Sanitation Department. How-
ever, if you do not like the con-
ditions of your present job, you
may resign 'and then write a
letter to the Civil Service Com-
mission, explaining your reasons
for resigning and requesting them

to restore your name to the ell
gible list for another $1,500 a year
appropriate certification. If yout
reasons for resigning are as good
as they seem form your letter,
the Commission may do this. ‘The
Commission has the right to
grant or deny your request, 1
it sees fit,

Job Waits for You

X. ¥. Z.: If you, a permanently:
appointed clerk, grade 2, in the
Board of Education, enlist in the
Army, your job will be ineld ope?

What War Work
For Women?

What share are women actually
playing in defense industries and
what are they most efficient at in
training? Obviously, they are pro-
ficient mostly in the light instru-
ment and inspection field.

Take the word of Roland Baxt,
consultant for the Federation
Employment Service, the non-fee
charging placement agency, they
excel in and their services are be-
ing demanded most in the follow-
ing lines:

Drill press (single and multi-
ple); touchup, radium; inspection,
visual; electric work, such as wir-
ing and assembling parts, winding
coils aud armatures, soldering and
caping, and assembly, including
all types requiring hand tools
such as pliers, mallets, screw
drivers, files, electric drills, bench
assembly machines and riveting
presses,

Other Interests

Secondary interests are: milling
machine, light; light punch and
forming presses; bench and
watchmaker’s lathes; burring,
polishing, buffing on lathes, paint-
ing (spray); soldering, packing
and labeling; welding (spot).

Next in volume and signifi-
cance: gauge (micrometer, cali-
per, blueprint); light hand and
automatic screw machine; sheet
metal forming and riveting; weld-
ing (acetylene), welding (arc).

As for wamen being adaptable
to defense work, Mr, Baxt be
lieves many of them are as
capable as men, as accurate, fast
(sometimes more accurate and
swifter), and at least as steady
and reliable as men,

“Women today certainly can be
used in defense jobs and expected
to make competent workers,” he
said,

New York Differs from Rest of Country
InEmploymentSituation, USES Points Out

The United States Employment
Service emphasizes that the im-
pression about thousands and thou-
sands of factory jobs waiting for
women to fill them should be
tempered with realism: New
York City cannot, at this point,
be compared with industrial cities
experiencing war booms in other
parts of the country.

In other areas, where the
mands of war industyy have
created labor shortages, women
are being employed in preference
to importing labor from other
areas and cveating the housing
problems inevitable as the result
of any large in-migration to an
already crowded community. This
policy resul.s in curtailment of
opportunity outside of New York
City for New York's surplus male
labor supply, and a consequent
brake on any extensive employ-
ment in New York City of women
for jobs normally filled by men.

Hired for Assembly, Inspection

The war industry which does
exist in New York—a very limited
proportion of the city’s industry
as a whole—is regularly hiring
women for the industrial jobs in
which women have always been
used— principally assembly, in-
spection and light machine opera.
tion—but few new industrial fields
have yet opened for New York
City women.

To a very limited degree, in the
professional and scientific fields,
the places of men who have gone
to the armed forces are being
taken by trained women, but this
development is exceedingly slow.
The United States Employment
Service has had occasional calls
for women tracers and draftsmen,
at starting wages of $15 to $25.
{Certain private schools report
the demand for women draftsmen
increasing rapidly.] The Army
uses a few women as topograph-
ical draftsmen at $40 a week.
One woman landscape artist was
engaged recently as a sanitary
engineer at $85. Six college
women have replaced male chem-
ists in dairies and kindred fields
There have been some calls for
college women as laboratory as

de-

sistants at $20, to replace young
men apprentices who had worked
for the training, without pay. A
few women have been engaged as
chemistry assistants, and a few
stores have hired women phar-
macists. Anticipating increased
calls of these types in the future,
the USES urges women with pro-
fessional training to register at
the Professional Section at 10
East 40th Street, but warns that
some time may elapse before ac-
tual placement is possible,

Women in Chain Stores

A company operating a chain of
retail stores hag lost a larg
number of men to the armed
forces and is trying out a few
women as sales clerks on an
experimental _ ba: Additional
placements of wemen in the 30
to 35 age group with this concern
are expected if the experimental
group performs satisfactorily.
Women are also being used now
to a limited extent on dairy
counters in groceries, and as
checkers in some self-service gro-
ceries, Women are also being
tried out in the shoe departments
of some stores which have ordi-
narily been a province of men
clerks. These placements are be-
ing made by the Ret

ction of the USES ©

A trend toward the employment

How About

“Women in Defense work,” says
Miss Rosetta E, Wortzel, dean of
Manhattan Assistants’ School of
New York, “is no platitude ...
it is a working formula which is
showing @ steady increase in se-
jecting personnel,”

Enrollments at Manhattan As-

sistants’ School are largely in the
fields of X-ray, medical labora-
tory work, and dental assisting,
These three branches are spe-
cifically designated in defense
programs, and have an important
standing in civil and institutional
ields.

NYA Calls for More Women to Take Its Courses; Do You Meet the Require ments?

Over at the National Youth
Administration they're enlarging
their training program for wom-
en every day. Within two or
three months, in fact, they expect
to be training as many women as
men, which woulf be more than
6,000. The feminine element at
present totals some 2,500.

‘The female infiltration is most-
ly restricted to the lighter jobs in
the machine shop field, Few can
be found at the lathes, shapers,
milling machines, slotters and
sheet metal giants. Most girls are
concerned with welding, radio re-
pair and maintenance work as
well as some sheet metal jobs.

The gitts excel in inspection and
assembly work, (The former deals
with micrometers and other meas-
uring instruments.) The reason:
manual dexterity and co-ordina-
tion of fingers and mind, Indeed,
they are better in some of these
fields than the men,

sider “nuisance orders”—mate-
rials for the Army, Navy, Mari-
time Commission and other fed-
eral and city departments. Wom-
en in N.Y.A. also may train to
become more efficient federal
stenos and typists.

‘The Requirements

To take a N.Y.A, course, an
applicant must be unemployed
and not receiving unemployment
insurance (or she may waive the
unemployment benefits to take a
N.Y.A. course), between 17 and
25 years of age, a citizen and not
a pupil at a full time day school.
High school education is pre-
ferred.

The machine shop program con-
sists of 160 hours a month and
pays $25.20, The regular program
means 90 hours and $22.50 a
month, In the case of those as-
signed to army locations, it's 80
hours and $26 a month. All work-
ers commute to and from their
N.Y.A. jobs.

All N.Y.A, students automatic-
ally go on the rolls of the United
States Employment Service,
which acts as a job finding serv.
ice.

Where to Apply

Applicants are to apply in_per-

other agency in the metropolitan
area at the moment,

While not as large as some of
the other groups, the Institute at
375 Pearl Street, Brooklyn, is
making an all-out effort to train
women as professional engineer-
ing aides,

“Far from trying to discourage
women, regardless of the present
outlook,” said N. A. McManus,
assistant director of the Institute,
“we're doing everything in our
Power to get them ready for de-
fense work. We want women and
more women—all who want to be-
come engineering aides or junior
engineers, inspectors, jun ior
draftsmen, testers, computers,
production planners and junior
engineers, Employers everywhere
are asking us: ‘How many
women can you send us?!”

33-Week Course

Fully 50 percent, or 250 of the
500 persons currently taking the
“sub - professional _ engineering"’
course, are women, Mr. McManus
pointed out, adding that 200 more
are to be recruited during June
for the new 33-week, 30 hours a
week, daytime course starting
July 1. A class of 200 that start-
ed October 25, will be graduated
June 18, thus making room for
the newcomers. Three classes
are now in operation, with a new

one being started every two
months.
Women applicants, indeed, are

preferred to men, since there is
no draft-problem. Women seek-
ing to take this free course spon-
sored by the United States Office

of Education are required to be
high school graduates, have three
years of English, one year of ak |
gebra, one year of geometry and
one year either of physics or
chemistry. Moreover, they need
have citizenship papers and no|
more than a part-time job to
qualify; they must be at least 18 |
upon completing the Institute |
course,

Where to Apply

Applicants are urged to apply in
person or write to the Institute's
personnel office at 375 Pearl
Street, Brooklyn, to fill out an
application form and to submit
to a psychological aptitude test.
In the meantime, the Institute
has already been circularizing de-
fense plants (fully 90 percent of
its placements are made in this
manner) for the volume of women
required in defense work. Grad-
uates are moved out into defense
jobs sometimes as quickly as one
day after graduation; other times
it takes several weeks, depending
on the circumstances.

All of the classes, with the ex
ception of physics and shop prac-
tice (which are given at Pratt In-
stitute, Brooklyn) are conducted
in the Institute building at 375
Pearl Street.

The courses are taught by mem-
bers of college engineering fac-
ulties as well as outside industrial
experts. Cooperating in the op-
eration of the Institute are

To prove it was headed in the

proved a large percentage of

since justified this contention, too,

Delehanty Offers Gals
Quick, Varied Courses

Delehanty is offering quick
courses in which you can train
yourself in a specific skill usable
in war production plants to do
work where it is needed.

Delehanty has some 700 women

either graduated or enrolled, to
date. Its equipment is of the Iat-
est type.

‘The school was the first to open
its doors to women in what is
known as an Assembly and In-
spection Course. This trains

women in 100 hours, day or night,
in the use of lathe, drill press,
grinding machine and the much-
talked of precision instruments.
The course costs $95, including a
set of tools. Because of the need
for skilled riveters, it recently
opened an aircraft construction
course at $100 for 150 hours, day
or night.
Time's Fleeting

Drafting for women consumes
500 hours. It takes four years to
produce draftsman; the war
can't wait, The best Delehanty
can do is furnish that extra pair
of hands to the creative drafts-

man, By taking half the course,
250 hours, at half price, you be-
come a tracer and can go to
work, The second half fits one
for the more important work and
better pay.

Delehanty has a placement do-
partment constantly in touch
with the plants and plant needs.
It hag placed more than 80 per
cent of its graduates. By Septen
ber, the demand in this area
should force it to raise the age
limit for women to 50.

Wages Boost

Wages, hours and overtime vary
with the plant and the type of
work for which you are trained.
The salary range is from 40¢ to
65c an hour on starting, and grad-
uates usually are paid for a 52-
hour “week; that is, time and a
half for Saturday. They are ad-
vanced according to ability and in
3 receive a better sal-
than non-trained women,

At present, Delehanty has a few
more single women than married.
It scems men prefer them young
—as long as they can get them.

Civil Service Legislation

(Continued from Page Seven)
Another bill, by Assemblyman
Barrett, affecting certain em-
ployees in hospitals and institu-
tions, which has become law, ex-
tends to employees guarding
buildings and grounds of State
institutions the provision for an
8-hour day and a 6-day week.

For DPUL Employees

A popular bill introduced by
Senator Condon and signed by
the Governor, provides that civil
service employees in the compe-
titive class of the DPUI of the
Labor Department, who on or
after January 1, 1942 have been
separated from the service by
federalization of functions of the
Division, shall have their names
entered on a preferred list for the
positions last held by them for a
four-year period and shall be eli-
gible for promotion examinations.

Cities May Use State Lists

‘A measure permitting municipal
civil service commissions through-
out the State, in the absence of
their own eligible lists, to request
the State Commission to furnish
names of persons on appropriate
State lists, has won much com-
ment. This bill by Assemblyman
Fite was signed by the Governor
last Friday, It provides further
that the names of persons taken
from the State lists must be resi-
dents of the civil division in
which the appointments are to be
made.

Government service, or war
in a defense industry, are pro-
tected under a proposal which
would continue their mem-
bership in the retirement system,
provided they contribute to the
system the amount which would
have been paid if they had re-
mained iff their regular positions.
This bill would affect any em-
ployee who has been absent from
his State position for this speci-
fied work from March 1, 1940
until six months after the termin-
ation of the war.

Increments Increased

Under a bill by Senator Wicks
now being considered by the Gov-
ernor, changing salary grades and
increments for the budget examin-
ing group, including budget ex-
aminers and similar positions, the
number of increments is increased
from 3 to 8, and the minimum
salaries are to range from $1,800
to $11,000, and increments from
$100 to $400.

How Civil Service Commission Works

(Continued from Page Three)
Civil Service Commission's serv-
{ce rating bureau, flere's how it
works:

Each year department heads are
required to forward to the Civil

Service Commission reports on the
services of its employ The
reports are prepared by the indi-
vidual employee's immediate re-
sponsible superior and are passed
on by a board of review in each
department, ‘This board usually

consists of an official of the de:
partment and bureau heads, o
sionully of fellow employees,

7
reports are forwarded to the Civil
Service Commission and
judged by a board
posed of experienced civil service
examiners. On the basis of the
evidence supplied in these reports,
ratings, ranging from an extreme
and rarely used low of minus 6
to a just-as-rarely-used high of
plus 6, are assigned to each em-
ploye The rating for “stand
urd, satisfactory service’—by far
the most commonly used, is plus
1. Over 80 percent cf the city’s
employees receive this plus one
rating each year.

In addition to the service rating

are

rating com

received for the way in which
the employee performed his du
ties, a seniority rating of ' of 1
percent is assigned each emplayee

for each ys
ticular grade
Prey explained

rvice in his pat

that when «a

employee is appointed to a new
position or promoted to a higher
position, he is assigned a basic
rating of 70 percent. To this
basic rating is added his service
ratings and his seniority ratings
each year, When the employee
takes a promotion examinatio’
his service ratings and seniority
ratings are computed in order to
determine his “record and senior-
ity.

Johnny Jones

Johnny Jones, a hypothetical
clerk, grade 1, would receive a
rating of 70 percent immediately
upon appointment. Five years
later Johnny gets the opportunity
to take a promotion test to clerk,
grade 2. If he received a service
rating of plus 1 (standard satis-
factor} service) each year for five

years, his record and senicrity

would be computed as follows:
Basic rating percent
ervice rating 5 percent

niority rating 2.5 percent

77.5 percent

Total
Thus, Johnny Jones, clerk
grade 1, taking a promotion to

clerk, grade
five years’ emplo
elye ar
nd seniority.

Starting With a Minus

It is possible for a particularly
incompetent employee to receive
many minus ratings that when
« it Rime to take a promotion ex-
amination arrives he might not
eyenehave the original ntimimne

examination after
ment, would re
50 for record

of 70 percent assigned him. In
this case, the employee would not
be permitted to take the promo-
tion exam.

Conversely, if an employee per-
formed a series of outstanding
acts or services to merit plus 6
ratings for six years, he would
enter a promotion examination
with a rating of 99 percent on
record and seniority. If the exam
was held over for another year,
and he merely received a satis-
factory rating of plus 1, he would
have the maximum allowed for
record and seniority, 100 percent.

Frey insists that it is extremely
unfair of reporting officers to fail
to distinguish between competent
and incompetent employees. If
reports on all types of employees
are similar, the Commission’s rat-
ing board will assign them similar
ratings. In this way, the depart-
ment or bureau head is letting
his poor employees enter an ex
amination with the same chance
for promotion as his good em-
ployees.

Frey admits that service rating
is a “knotty’ problem, but a
necessary one in personnel work.
Because of the human equation
which enters into the writing of
service reports, he realizes that
it can often be disagreeable to
reporting officers, However, he
thinks more care would be given
thé writing of these reports if bu-
reau heads kept in mind the fol-
lowing question:

“Do you want to promote a man
with a bad record instead of one
with @ good record?”

.

reported a bill providing that em-

ployees in the Unemployment In-
surance Division, Labor Depart-
ment, on federalization of the Di-
vision and the transfer to federal
service, after ten years of mem-
bership in the State retirement
system, may continue in the sys-
tem and pay into the annuity sav-
ings fund monthly contributions.
‘The bill provides further that the
State shall pay into the pension
accumulation fund as if the mem-
bers had continued in the State
service.

I earnestly believe the 1942 ses-
sion of the Legislature has ac-
complished more for the civil
service employee than previous
legislatures for many years. The
continued program of the merit
system entails constant effort
which should be followed up in
the 1943 session of the Legisla-
ture.

rier, It will be a good show and
we want you to see it! See you
at Hearns, Thursday evening!

Cutting On Flowers

Just a tip—TIf you like to have
fresh flowers in your house as
much as I do, you'll know it’s a
pretty extravagant affair! I've
discovered a florist whose shop
is in the wholesale center and
who does most of his business
wholesale, His prices are almost
the same for large or small lots—
so you can get a buy. The name

of the shop is “Superior Florist”
and it is located on 6th Avenue,
between 27th and 28th Streets,

New York. I bought an armful
of glorious lilacs last week that
thrill me just to see them, and
mixed with some lovely long-
stemmed daffodils, they are hand-
some! Ask for Louis, and tell him
Prudence sent you!

Summer Vacation
For Rugs

Off with those heavy mohair
rugs, down with winter drapes,
it's time for flowered chintzes
and raffia mats! In the mean-
time treat those wintry wears of
yours kindly, they'll look very
good to you in September! Abbott
& Wins Rug Cleaning Co.
Catherine Street (CO

WANTED: More Desirable Girls to Train as Government Secretaries

The NEW YORK BUSINESS SCHOOL, 11 West 42nd
Street (cor. 5th Ave.), New York, N. Y., states that they have
placed every graduate from their school in very satisfactory
positions and need more girls for this training to supply the
demand for Secretaries.

An employer recently visited the school and asked for the
Princi

my offic

il. He stated, “I now have four of your graduates in

sand I need another.” He said, “Tell me, how do you

n your girls, who come right from high school, to become

such well trained secretaries?”
Because our school has adjusted its
direction to the realities of a secretary's position in the busi-
ness office of today, You must realize that of every three to
five girls now enrolled in some sort of secretarial course, only
one will ever obtain a position in an office, ‘WE HAVE
PLACED EVERY GRADUATE.”

He asked, “Is competition so terrific

My answer was,

“Yes, it is,” I replied.
“Then, is it true that your school has plaeed every gradu-

ate

“Yes, that is true. The New York Business School trains
hundreds of girls each year and obtains good positions for all
of those who finish the course.”

“Tow do you do it?” he asked.

Here is the substance of what I answered:

The NEW YORK BUSINESS SCHOOL, by a careful
study, learns exactly what sort of girls the better employers

Sccond, the better offices also insist that a girl be able to
take dictation at 120 to 125 words a minute and transcribe at
50 to GO words a minute. Many intelligent girls do not have
the coordination of ear, brain, and hand necessary for such
speed. Many students, for example, who completed the regu-

lar course in a certain leading New York Se: arial School,

are now sales girls in a department store, Th hool did not

If the test reveals that she is not, this school advises her to take

short course on her own responsibility, or what we call a
brush-up course.

il position today, besides

To obtain a desirable sceret

being mentally superior and a proficient stenographer, a girl

must also be personally attractive. I think it is a very poor
method of oblaining students for a school to accept an un-
attractive girl or a girl whom the school cannot place into a
position, The NEW YORK BUSINESS SCHOOL accepts only
girls who have the qualifications for secret training.

Because our girls are superior to start with, we are able
to prepare them in a relatively short time, nine to twelve
months, for secretarial positions with organizations of high
standing like the Vogue Magazine, Mutual Life Insurance Com-
pany, Advertisers Magazine, Chase National Bank, ete.

INTELLIGENT ISN’T ENOUGH

Again, being a superior girl, isn’t of itself, enough to
obtain a good seerctarial position. We cannot place our
rls, however attractive, unless we give them special

‘This experience is obtained by the NEW YORK BUSI-
NESS SCHOOL students by training them in our general

We insist that all our graduates become proficient in this

en

particular branch of work, Many job seekers do not know
how to operate the switchboard. Today, office work is
largely performed on machines. A secretary has to know
what the important machines are used for, so we ask our
graduates to devote a certain amount of time to machines
They will not neces.

at the conclusion of their course.

The NEW YORK BUSINESS SCHOOL has an excellent
course in machines; including the comptometer, billing ma,
chine, bookkeeping machine, dictaphone, multigraph, adding
machine, switchboard, key-punch, in fact, all machines required
in an office.

The question was asked the writer, “How can a girl just gradu.
ated from your school convince the prospective employer that she know
as much as the experienced girl he can engage for perhaps the same
salary?

1 answered him that our school is very thorough. The speed wg
require 13 riwh higher than the average secretarial school and when
our girls take a test, the employer tells us that they are well-trained,
This is due to a unique system ouremployment department has devel.

As stated above, our graduates spend from two to four

for a position, feeling confident that they are well trained for
these positions before they are sent out, With this experience
behind our graduates, we know they are ready to apply for
almost any secretarial or machine position.

Many employers make an exception regarding graduates
from the NEW YORK BUSINESS SCHOOL because the
school takes only girls who are employable and teaches them
what the prospective employer wants, and also trains them
in the technique of applying for a position, We do not allow
our girls to accept a small salary, as we have a limited minimum
