NECREMENT LAW ENDANGERED;

Court Says Charter
Grants Wide Power
To Estimate Board

The possibility looms today
that the Board of Estimate
may have the power to inval-
idate the Mandatory Incre-
ment Law by fixing salaries
of city employees under terms
of the City Charter, following
an opinion handed down last
week by Supreme Court Jus-
tice Edward McGoldrick in
the Tormey case,

The decision upheld the Board's
rignt to fix salaries of em-
ployees reinstated from pre-
ferred lists without regard to
the Carroll Law, which requires
the city to pay a reinstated em-
ployee the same salary he re-
ceived at the time of his layoff.

According to the Court, section
67 of the City Charter, which
went into effect Jan. 1, 1938, es
the Board power to fix the salary
of all employees not fixed by
State statute, as distinguished
from local laws adopted prior to
the adoption of the new Charter.

Although no comment was
fortheoming from the Corpora-
tion Counsel, it is known that
application of this decision to
the Mandatory Increment Law is
being seriously considered, as this

as also passed before 1938,

In that case, it was believed
unlikely that any ruling would
apply retroactively to those who
.have received increments under
the Denehy and Wexler decisions,
which have been attacked by
Mayor LaGuardia. At the same
time, the city might challenge
the rights of employees to such
increments in the future if the
Board of Estimate refused to pro-
vide further funds,

Were this true, it would prob-
ably bring to an end two recent
attempts on the part of the ad-
ministration to nullify the effects
of these two court decisions. The
item lowering maximum salaries
failed to appear on the calendar
of the Municipal Ctvyil Service
Commission last week. The other,

Ickes’ Blast
ttack made on Civil Service by
retary of the Interior Harold Icke

brought forth well-merited replies by mem-
bers of the U, S. Civil Service Commission,
Representative Robert Ramspeck of Geor-
gia, and Samuel H, Ordway, Jr

Ickes’ explosive denunciation of the

Civil Service which he made when he

dismissed the Chief of the Bureau of

Mines last week was entirely unwar-

ranted, to say the least. The allegations

he made were untruthful, as the mem-
bers of the Civil Service Commission
hastened to point out.

It hardly becomes a cabinet officer wl
has kept an employ: in this case a head
of an important division of his department—
for over si ears, to use Civil Service
employees of sabotage and lack of loyalty,

To blame the Civil Service for short-
comings of the Administrator himself is
simply an old indoor sport of the po
tician,

Only two y: a t Town Hall Ickes
commended the Civil Service system as a
vital instrument of democratic government,
Ickes was right then. He is utterly wrong
now.

pendent City-Owned Subway System from
the labor to the competitive class, The reso-
lution now goes to the State Commission for
final action,

Thus another move has been made to
rid the Civil Service in New York. of
the outmoded labor class system. Work-
ers changed from the labor to the
competitive class gain substantially,
They attain more job security, promo-
tion opportunities and many other ad-

vantages.
The transfer of subway Porters and
Maintainers’ Helpers to the competitive cla

will bring the total number in the labor class
to the lowest point in history. But even so,
7,000 workers remain in that classification,
As soon as possible, therefore, the commi
sion should give the rest of these employees
a competitive status.

For example, take the case of two!
employees who are appointed in De-
cember, 1937, to the same grade of
Civil Service position and in the
same department, At that time the
minimum salary was set at $1,621.
One of these appointments is made at
$1,800 and the other at $1,900, Neither
appointee receives an increment in
July, 1938, presumably because both

In the summer of 1939 the positions
are reclassified to carry a minimum
salary of $1,800. Due to the suspen-
sion of the Feld-Hamilton law that
year neither employee receives an
increment. Now, if the increments
are restored this year but are not re-
troactive, would not both employees
receive the same increment, thus
maintaining a differential of $100 in
their salaries for this year and sev-
eral years to come until both reach
the maximum salary grade?

If this is true the State Legislature
is placing a distinctly unfair and dis-
criminating penalty on certain salary
classes, making them alone suffer in
delayed increments for a period of
perhaps five years and forcing them
to work on the same grades of posi-
tions for the same length of time but
at a lower salary than other ap-
pointees?

Rn B. J.B.

Ed, Note: The suspension of sal-
ary increments for State employees
last year worked hardships all
around, and undoubtedly, with the
resumption of increments some in-
justices will result. The Leader
would like to see the increments
made retroactive, But it is extreme-
ly doubtful if this will happen. In
the first place, the provisions. of the
Feld-Hamilton law go into effect
automatically this year without any
special act of the Legislature. It is
doubtful if the Legislature, after
reaching @ tacit understanding to
have the increments restored, will
face a battle to make them retro-
active,

Patrolman’s List

Sir: Anent your Publie Notice
relative to the Patrolmen’s eligible
list, may I-congratulate you on your
new expression of impartiality in thus
bringing to the public eye the in-
comprehensible attitude of the ad-
ministration in this matter,

The call for Police candidates was
urgent and made most attractive to
a class of men heretofore uninter-
ested in this branch of Civil Serv-
ice. Now, after successfully com-
pleting the extremely difficult and
selective tests set forth, the “brakes”
are being applied. ~

Appointments to a force almost
900 below its quota (approximately
300. wee to be made before Jan,
1,940), are now indefinitely post-
poned, salary reductions are immi-
nent, and pensions are ap-
parently to be exce ve for this
group. ‘The top physical and mental

vice fair-minded people to read.

In addition to one form of dis-
crimination mentioned by my
fellow eligible, there is even a more
glaring discrimination participated
in by the Civil Service Commission
and perhaps certain department
heads. It is the evident preference
given to the few Porter lists in ex-
istence over any other list ina simi-
lar category.

Porter lists are declared appropri-
ate for Cleaner, Laborer, Helper and
miscellaneous light labor duties
which might include Attendant da-
ties. This is beside the question, but
even the Clerk, Gr, 2 list, was de-
clared appropriate for Helpers’ jobs
in the Dept. of Hospitals recently,
It seems that our list is purposely
ignored, I know you will point out
that Porter jobs are in the non-
competitive labor class and our list
is not and could not be used for
these various jobs. However, intel-
ligence indicates the thin line drawn
between the difference in duties per-
formed by Porters, Cleaners, Help-
ers, Attendants, ete., and that it is
easy to use one list in preference
over another and name it Porter,
Cleaner or any other title,

Austin was born in Birmingham, Alabama,

Took Exam at 20

When he was 20 (back in 1910), he took 4
U, 8. Civil Service exam. He was notified a
year later that he’d passed. After another
year he got a job as a Clerk in the Censis
Bureau. Thereafter he moved steadily upward,
until he became Area Manager of the Bureay
in New York five years ago. Since this is the
biggest population center in the country, the
man in charge has a key position.

For many years, Austin was a fleld worker
for the Bureau. During his early career,
worked in 38 states, staying a week or so Int

lived in hotels,

vetoed the plan last week.
The committee agreed to recom-

money alone, This uniform plan, as
proposed by the Budget, provides

first, and to the extent of funds avail-
able, with (a) employees who earn
more than $3,200 and have not had
an administrative promotion since
1936, and (b) all employees who earn
Jess than $3,200 and have not had a
raise since 1938.

While this recommendation will
not have the force of law, coming
from the Appropriation Committee,
it will carry considerable weight.

Thus, as the fiscal year 1941 dawns, |
if you happen to be in one of the
other category of federal employees
mentioned above, you can go to your
budget officer and tell him you are
first on the list for a raise. You
might even get it!

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

Ickes Attack On Civil

Service Is Denounced

(Speelul to

ler)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Over the week-end Secretary of the In-
terior Harold Ickes was the target of new denouncements accusing
him of being “an irresponsible and incompetent reformer,” ignorant
of the law and guilty of false statements that “unjustifiably dis-

credit the federal merit sys

Last week-end represen
Robert Ramspeck, of Georgia, anal
nual H, Ordway, Jr, former mem-

ber of the U, S. Civil Service Com-
mission and newly-elected head of
the Civil Service Reform League, |
joined in denouncing Ickes’ state-
ments,

Ickes had said that any attempt to
dismiss the “bureaucratic cliqu
would necessarily involve trials, and
that the formation of such cliques
“happens all the time when people
have a life tenure under Civil
Service.”

Ramspec

: Replies

man Ramspeck, who is
chaliinan of the House Civil Service |
Committee, said he was “astonished |

ing

Civil employee guilty of!
sabotag id that all the regu- |
lations required is that the o

ployee be furnished with charges in
writing and be given a _ tgasonable |
time in which to reply.

Ramspeck pointed out that a wide-
spread “erroneous opinion” exists
that a*Civil Service employee can-
nol be fired. He instead, that
it is often easier to dismiss a Civil
Service worker than a political or
patronage employee who has strong
political backing,

CALL 300 PORTERS
FOR EXAMINATION

Three hundred more Porter can-
didates were summoned for qualify-
ing medical and literacy exams last
week at the offices of the Municipal
Civil Service Commission, 299 Broad-
way. This was made necessary by
exhaustion of the present list of 1,002
names for appointment to the Dept,
of Hospitals as Laurdry Workers.

More than 4,000 applied for Porter
jobs in Sept, 1938, during a three-
jday filing period” Applications will
remain on file until 1942, when they
will be declared void and the posi-

tion readvertised.

Insurance Co. Replies
To Police List Notice

Among the numerous
responses to public notices
placed in last Tuesday's
newspapers by Jerry Fink-
elstein, publisher of Tae
ADER, Offering the ser-
vices of the 1,427 men on
the Police list to priate
employers, was the follow-
ing communication from
the New York Life Insur-
ance Co

“We are definitely in-
terested in the type of
men you refer to in your
public notice and will be
happy to grant them an
interview.”

Finkelstein stated that
the reason for the adver-
tisement was that many of
the men on the list had told
him of their disappoint-
ment in the positions to be
ofiered them, as salary and
pension prospects had di-
minished since the exam
was first announced.

All responses, Finkel-
stein announced, have been
turned over to the Patrol-
