Census Renders

What will come out of the

the millions of “respondents” in
their homes or wherever they
may find them?

The country will know
many people there are of
age in every locality of
State and of all the States com-
bined; how many families there
are, and how many of each fam-
ily size—how much money they
received last year, and where it
came from.

It, will learn also what different
people do for a living, how many
carpenters, beauticians, profess-
ors and doctors there are, what
kind of employers people work
for (including government), how
much each person worked, at and
during a certain time, and how
much he earned.

We will know how many mar-
riages are taking place, and how
many divorces and how fast or
slowly the population is increas-
ing by age, sex and locality; in
what country or people
were born and how
move around from place to place;
how many jobs will be needed

We will have a very good idea
of how much education people
have had, how many people are
going to school and how many
people can read and write, We
will know, too, what has happened
to veterans since the war—how
many are married, what they are
doing for a living; how many are
still studying or training for a
profession or occupation,

In 1940 the Census Bureau
counted 131,669,275 persons as

1950 it is estimated that this

resulting from an extension in
the span of life rather than from
an increase in the rate of birth.
Importance of Census

Not many realize how much of

country and their neighbors,
originates in the activities of the
U. 8S. Census Bureau. People
know that they live longer than

their forefathers—or their par-

What the Chaplain Does

Dr. Hannum quoted from the
Joint statement by the National
Conference of Catholic ries: |
and the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ,

“Men and nations have found
that they cannot live without its
(religious) guiding, sustaini
and inspiring power... men
women in correctional institue
tions are doubly in need of the
help that religion can give them,
It is not enough, however, to
provide religious services which
they can attend: they also need
individual counseling and spirit-
ual guidance by Chaplains who.
are sincere, approachable, unders
standing and tolerant and have
special training for their dificult
task and possess the qualities of
personality that attract and in-
spire others. In order to secure
this type of Chaplain, it is nec-
essary to pay a salary above that
of the general level of salaries in
fair-sized communities.”

* A NEW DRESS FOR CIVIL SERIVCE

THE GREATEST opportunity in recent years to make
the merit system in fact what it is in name is before the
Association and all friends of good government in New York
State,

The Governor has signed a bill (Chapter 186, Laws of
1950) establishing a commission to take the kinks, the am-
biguities, the dead wood and the double-talk out of the Civil
Service Law, and to make the law simple,
easily understood. The Commission can recommend such
changes as are needed to make the law a firm*defense against
the spoilsmen and the professional trafficker in public jobs,
and thus make the statute a model of good business methods
and the best personnel practices.

In his annual message to the 1950 Legislature, Governor
Dewey said that employee organizations, civic organizations
and ycteran groups have fostered a new interest in publi¢e
employment and have stimulated a public consciousness of
| civil service as a true career service,

Service Employees
and Member of Em-
Award Board

It’s Antiquated, Contradictory
| All employees and all top administrators, according to
the Governor, work under the handicap of a fundamental
law which is antiquated, confusing and contradictory. It is
almost impossible to determine the precise rights and duties
of public employees in the maze of amendments and court
deciisons.

The Civil Service Law is binding on both the State and
all the local units of Government. “It is, therefore, impera-
tive,” said the Governor, “that a forum be provided wherein
all can be heard so that all may contribute to the revision,
A temporary State Commission can make recommendations
for revision which will be acceptable to interested groups
and [to] the public—In such a revision every effort should
be made to preserve and to safeguard the gains already
made in the merit system.”

I interpret the Governor's words and his subsequent
action in signing the bill into law, as an invitation and a
challenge to the Association to make good on its claims as
the foremost champion of the merit system. We are given
an “open” forum from which to proclaim our faith in good
government through civil service. We are given the oppor-
tunity to display real statesmanship in our proposals for a
better law, which will keep the gains we have fought so hard
to secure and will add new vital elements that are demandd
\by these times of crisis.

Lunch Hours

Por years the fact that the pub-
lic visits such Government offices
as license bureaus during the
Junch hours has created a prob-
lem; the civil service worker is
asked to eat lunch at different
hours from everyone else.

‘The Clvil Service Assembly now
comes up with an answer. Mare
shall Field, in Chicago, says the
Assembly, has been experimenting
with a plan whereby sales clerks
take their fifteen-minute rest pe-
ried plus thirty minutes of their
Junch hour in the morning, and
another forty-five minutes in the
afternoon. This allows the employ=
ees to eat quickly at times when
restaurants are not rushed and
use the extra time for rests, shop-
ping and personal business,

The Loyalty
Of Federal Workers

S the headlines scream their hysterical staccato of “dis-
loyalty” and “espionage” in Government circles, as
blackened mud is thrown time and again upon Federal em-
ployees, as attack upon men and women in the nation’s ser-
vice becomes a favorite indoor sport of some politicians. . .
4 as these things happen, it is well to remember, in
these sensitive days, the cool facts cited last week before a
Senate Investigating Committee by Seth W. Richardson,
head of the Federal Loyalty Review Board. 7

In three years of screening Federal employees, includ-
ing 10,000 field investigations, “not one single case” of espi-
onage anywhere in Federal government ranks had been
found. Moreover, the FBI has not even found evidence
“directing toward espionage”—and this covers consideration
of 3,000,000 files.

The man who thus upheld the loyalty of Federal em-
ployees is himself a Republican who served as an Assistant
Attorney General under Herbert Hoover.

It is high time that this nation re-examined the cas-
cading emphasis on thought-control of Federal employees.
The only things that have been gained so far are a wide-
spread development of fear in Government circles and a
refusal of competent men to enter Government service.

The loyalty of American government workers is beyond
dispute.

And Now—
Downgradings?

HE State Classification Board now proposes to down-

grade two groups of positions in the Division of Place-
mént and Unemployment Insurance, The downgradings are
recommended as the result of a study made when employees
in different titles asked that their positions be upgraded.

It is clear that if this now to become a fixed policy
of the Board, if an appeal for a higher allocation is to be
used as a means to reallocate related positions downward,
then employees simply will not appeal. They will cease to
use what until now has been an admirable agency for the
purpose of correcting injustices. They will hesitate to jeop-
ardize the jobs of fellow-employees. They will.lose the right
of appeal, just as effectively as if it were denied them alto-
gether.

Another point: Under the e
incumbent may be reduced (Si . 2). How does the
Board propose to get around this provision? And if it should
sueceed in downgrading only new employees, what havoc
will result with different employees on the same job doing
the same work earning different sal. Isn’t that exactl:
what a proper classification and salary standardization is
designed to prevent?

Fortunately, there will be an open meeting before any

real damage is
able to state their ¢

done. The employee repres
ise, and from all accounts they expect

entatives will be

to do it with great forcefulness.

NYC Steno Test to Stay
Open Until Late in June

Samuel H, Galston, director of
examinations, NYC Civil Service
Commission, recommended to Pres-
ident Joseph A, McNamara that
the period for receipt of applica-
tions for the Stenographer, Grade
2 test, be kept open until June, so
that the June graduates would be
racted to it. President McNa-
mara agreed.

When such graduates get on
eligible lists, the number of decli-
nations from their group is ex-
tremely low, President McNamara
commented.

The applicants to date slightly
exceed 2,000, but Mr, Galston
hopes that by the closing date,
Which may be in the third week in
Sune, at least 5,000 will have ap-

ied.
Stenos Urged to Apply Now
The Commission is seeking @

list large enough to spare it the
necessity of holding another Ste-
nographer exam until the end of
the year, at the earliest, Also this
fact heightens the necessity of
prospective NYC stenographers
making sure to apply in the pres-
ent period, since when the ex
will be reopened is speculativ
and may not occur until next year,
The starting pay is $2,100 total,
and on July 1 next, which will be
before the list will be out, that
will be the base pay, Pension bene-
fits will be increased on the ac-
count, as well as a general feeling
of security about pay, The $350
cost-of-living bonus will be frozen
into base pay then. The bonus is
included in the $2,100 total being
advertised now, as the exam no-
tice was prepared before the an-
nouncement of the bonus freeze

was made,

events, since January 1949, when
they were queried on similar ques-
tions. An analysis of this opinion
reveals a number of interesting
factors operating on the political
scene which are not apparent
from the surface maneuvering for
position of the various potential
candidates and their cohorts,

The Questions

Don’t Repeat This asked the
newsmen three questions about
the gubernatorial race and three
questions about the Senate race,

1, As things look now, who of
the following, in your opinion, is
likely to be the Republican candi-
date for Governor?

Prederic R. Coudert

Thomas E. Dewey

William Donovan

John Foster Dulles

Dwight Eisenhower

George Prankenthaler

Nathaniel Goldstein

Joe R. Hanley

Oswald D. Heck

Irving M. Ives

Waiter Mahoney

Prank C. Moore

Robert P. Patterson

D. Mallory Stephens

Arthur H, Wicks

Other

2. Who of the following, tn
your opinion, is most likely to be
the Democratic candidate for Gov-
ernor?

Erastus Corning

Oscar R. Ewing

James A. Parley

Paul E. Fitzpatrick

Charles Froessel

Averell Harriman

Robert Jackson

Lazarus Joseph

Herbert H. Lehman

James M. Mead

William O'Dwyer

Ferdinand Pecora

Franklin D, Roosevelt, Jr,

Other

3. In your opinior

Democrats? Republicans?

4. As things look now, which of
the following, in your opinion, is
likely t6 be the Republican candi-
date for Senator?

The same Republican names
were listed as for Governor, with
the exception that Irving M. Ives,
now U, S. Senator, was omitted
from the list; and W. Kingsland
Macy of Suffolk County, men-
tioned as a Senatorial possibiilty
in some quarters, was included.

5. Which of the following, in
your opinion, is most likely be
the Democratic candidate for Sen-
ator?

The same Democratic
were listed as for
torial race.

6, In your opinion, which side is
likely to win the Senate election in
1950? Democrats? Republicans?

The newsmen were asked to
mark a first and second choice in
each column.

Dewey Far Ahead

Tn the gube:natorial race, Dewey

names
the guberna-

ran so far ahead on the Republi-
ca hat no other candidate
seems to have even remotely com-

parable pulling power. He received
24 first choice votes and 5 second
choice vote

Strongest runner-up was Lieu-
tenant Governor Joe R, Hanley,
with 8 first choices and 14 second
choices. To the newsmen Hanley
appears by long odds the likeliest
candidate if Dewey doesn't run,

Senator Ives was third among
the Republicans, with 2 first
choices and 6 seconds. Other GOP
gubernatorial potentials who re-
ceived scattered votes from the
newsmen: Frank C. Moore, Oswald
D, Heck, Robert P. Patterson,

Ewing Leads Democrats
On the Democratic side, Federal
Security Administrator Oscar R.
Ewing is the likeliest possibility at
this time, the newsmen feel, They
gave him 14 first choice votes and
8 second choices.

Supreme Court Justice Ferdi-
nand Pecora ran second, with 8
first choices and 5 second choices.

Appeals Court Judge Charles W.
Froessel was given 6 first choices,
6 seconds, Pranklin D. Roosevelt
dr, received 2 first nominations, 6
second choice votes. Averell Har-
riman was fourth with 2 firsts, 5
seconds, William O'Dwyer was giv-
en 3 firsts, 2 seconds.

Other Democratic candidates
who received scattered votes from
the writers e Paul E. Pitzpat-
rick, Harold Medina and Lazarus
Joseph.

GOP to Win—But

Although the preponderant view
of the newsmen Is that the Repub-

which side is}
likely to win the election in 1950?)

licans will win, it is by no means
@ strongly held opinion. Of those
who voted on this question, 16 said
the GOP would emerge victorious,
10 the Democrats. But many add-
ed such terse descriptives “a
toss-up,” “close,” “very close." One
correspondent added the com-
ment: “Democrats would probably
lose without the Liberal Party,
Dewey and Ives are only Republi-
cans who could win.” Another jot-
after recording his
the Republican Party

chance to win against Dewey,
Judge Pecors the only man,” A
fourth said: “O'Dwyer is a sure
bet to run and win, with his New
York City strength, if Dewey
doesn’t run,”

What the Opinion Means

The newsmen thus see a bitterly
fought, tight battle, with the out-
come fairly in doubt, a slight edge
now to the Republicans. To the
Democrats this means that the
Liberal Party votes can’t be
thrown away; and that a candi-
date will need to be put up who
can keep the American Labor
Party vote down to Its irreducible
minimum. Tt might also mean that
the Democrats could decide to seek
a deal with Marcantonio in New
York City to forestall the ALP
against putting up a candidate
who wil) pull votes heavily from
the Democratic candidate, Such a
deal would involve a guarantee to
Marcantonio that he would not be
faced with formidable combined
Democratic-GOP opposition in his
own race for re-election to the
House of Representatives, The
Democrats suspect that the GOP
may already be ahead of them on
this, and might refuse to join with
them on a single candidate to de-
feat Marcantonio in his Congres
sional District. This would indi-

will have cemented a deal where-
by the fiery Harlem Congressman
would put up a strong ALP guber-
natorial candidate, to pull a size-
able vote from the Democrats,

Farley Without Support

Tt is a startling item that James
A. Parley, who has been mention-
ed prominently as a Democratic
potential, received not a single
vote from the reporters. Farley
represents a substantial segment
of Democratic thinking in

and kindness, That they allotted
him no chance at the nomination

‘If Democrats want a)

vote he won in last year’s election
to the Court of Appeals against
Bruce Bromley.
Take O'Dwyer'’s Word

‘The reporters also accept Mayor
O'Dwyer's repeated assertions that
he intends to remain for the en-
tire term as chief of New York
City’s government. Polled by this
column on the same question in
January 1949, the newsmen then
felt that O'Dwyer was the oute
standing possibility to oppose
Dewey for the governorship, and
that the Democrats would win
with him as their canddiate.

Newsmen Consistent

However, there is consistency in
the stand taken by the newsmen,
This column reported after the
1949 poll: “The survey revealed
that Oscar R, Ewing, Federal
curity Administrator, and a pro-
tege of Bronx boss Ed Flynn,
stands high as a possible Demo-
cratic candidate if O'Dwyer does-
n‘t_run.”

The January 1949 story also re+
vealed an uncannily precise in-
stinct on the part of the newsmen
with respect to Governor Dewey.
Tt was then written:

. . the GOP may try to draft
y ... despite the grumbling
against him in some GOP quar-
ters, Dewey's hold on his party re+
mains strong; and must inevitably
grow stronger between now and
1950, as the party looks to him for
sustenance.”

The Senate Race

The views of the newsmen on
the Senate race are much more
decisive, They seem to have little
doubt that the candidates will be
the same as last year, and the ree
sults the same too. By a wide mar-
gin, they see Herbert H, Lehman
running for the Democrats, with
John Foster Dulles as his Republi-

cate to them that the Republicans|

can opponent, Lehman received 20
first choice votes from the political
writers, no seconds; Dulles won
16 first choices, 2 seconds.

The newswriters recorded their
opinions several days before last
week’s announcement that Mr,
Dulles would become a State De-
partment consultant. That action
precipitates him even more strong-
ly into the spotlight again.

was given 4 first choice votes, 3

he had a great deal of driving ex-
rience he didn’t think it essen-
jal to read the booklet. That was

“I don't know.”

‘The inspector:

Rating

The papers in the Patrolman
(P, D.) written test held on
March 25 are being tentatively
rated by the NYC Civil Service
Commission on the basis of the
| tentative key answers. The LEA-
| DER published these answers in
the issue of March 28, |

Any changes in the tentative
key would be applied to the ans-
wers rated in the candidates’!
papers, Since only a relatively
small number of questions would
involve any changes, time would
be saved, the Commission felt.)
Otherwise the entire rating would)
have to be delayed until the final |
key answers were validated,

Galston Will Meet Deadline

Samuel H. Galston, director of
examinations, said that the Com-
mission would definitely have
sufficient number of papers fin-
ally rated so that the medical

Veteran Preference

The written and the physical
tests are both competitive, at
least 70 per cent must be attained
in each, and the final average
will be struck from the two marks.
The medical test is merely qual-

Veteran preference will be ap-

basis of the law existing when

Commission holds no prospect of

The U.F.O.A.

TRUMPET

VICTORY has finally crowned
the long hard-drawn fight of the
Uniformed Fire Officers Associa-
tion, Local 854, to achieve new
quotas for Officers in the Fire
Department.

‘The establishment of new posi-
tions for 12 Deputy Chiefs of De-
partment and 28 Chiefs of Bat-
talion in the quotas marks the
culmination of a year and a half

of intense effort by the UFOA,

‘This victory represents a great
achievement in eliminating the
“acting out of title” evil that
has grown up in the Pire Depart-
ment in recent years,

The protests of the Uniformed
Firemen’s Association were an im-
portant asset in achieving success,

Not only was it necessary to
convince the City officials of the
need and justice of this cause,
but it was also necessary to pre-
vent a proposed cut of 34 Lieu-
tenant positions this year and a
total of 80 in the 1950-1951 bud-
get.

A conference was held at City
Hall by Mayor O'Dwyer and Dep-
uty Mayor Reid on Tuesday,
March 28, 1950 at 2:30 P.M. Rep-
resentatives of the UFO and the
UPA were present.

The Fire Officers were repre-
sented by President Byrne, Vice-
President Broderick and Treas
urer Fehling, Representing the
City of New York in addition to
Mayor O'Dwyer and ‘Deputy May-
or Reid, were Pire Commissioner
Quayle, Budget Director Patter-
son, Mr, Shea and Mr. McAneny
of the Budget Director's Office.

At this conference the danger
of cutting any officer rank, es-
pecially Lieutenants, was firmly
impressed on the officials present
The UFO's efforts not only pre-
vent the proposed cuts but the offi-
promotion of 34 Lieutenants,

Also present to urge the ap-
pointment of additional Firemen
were President Crane and Vice
President Reid of the U.F.A
joined in the protest agair/t the
Proposed cut in the Lieutenants
budget Une. Although it was not
possible to obtain the budget line
increase for Fireman at this
specific meeting, the U.F.O.A., will

for members retired for disability
from the Fire and other depart-
ments of the City.

Both these bills were intro-
duced by Councilman Charles E.
Keegan. The 1/60th bill is being
studied by George B. Buck, ac-
tuary of the Bureau of Retire-
ment and Pensions. The hospi-
talization bill was turned over to
Ralph L. Van Name, Secretary to
the NYC Employees Retirement
System, for study and recom-
mendations, é

At the last meeting of the wel-
fare fund committee it was pro-
posed by the uniformed mem-
bers that the welfare fund as-
sume the cost of operating the
canteen field kitchen unit (cof-|
fee wagon). This was passed,
unanimously.

Hereafter all expenses incurred)
in supplying the unit will be paid
by the welfare fund of the Fire |
Department to which all Uni-)
formed Members contribute,

This will assure sufficient sup-
plies by stabilizing the source of
necessary funds,

DELEGATES and members are
again requested to call our office
when members are injured at fires,
or they can give the necessary in-
formation through the central of-
fice of their respective boroughs
where it will be sent to our office.
We try to cover most multiple
alarms of fires for any assistance
that may be needed.

LATELY the Constitution and
By-Laws were amended, so that |
dues would be payable on the 1st |
of the month instead of the 15th. |
In order to comply with this
amendment the battalion dele-
gates collected dues on March Ist.
‘This was not an assessment but
just the regular collection of
monthly dues,

Battalion delegates: when for-
warding checks or money orders,
should make them payable to
“UNIFORMED FIRE OFFICERS
ASSOCIATION” or to the “U.P,

who | supply of gray shirts of all sizes.

O.A, Do not make them payable
to Frederick Bahr, financial sec-
retary.

THE WARM weather will soon
be here and members will want
to wear a light weight gray shirt

to alarms. There is still a good

Police Lieut. Test Off;
Protests of No Avail

Some Sergeants protested to the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion because it cancelled the exam
for promotion to Lieutenant
(P. D.). Joseph A. McNamara,
President of the Commission, re-
plied that the cancellation was
made because there was no early
need for an eligible list and there
were other exams for which there
was urgent need.

The protests arose from the fact
that the number of Sergeants eli-
gible would be increased by post-
ponement. The Commission ex-
pects to hold the test in November,
1951 so that the new list would be
out by about May 1, 1952, until

the opinion of both Police Com-
missioner William P. O'Brien and
President McNamara.

Doubted Need from Start

The President said he had
doubted from the start the neces-
sity of holding the Lieutenant test
80 soon, as especially as there’s a
policy of not promulgating a new
Uist until the existing one has
either been exhausted or has ex-
pired.

Those members of the uniform-
ed force most recently promoted
to Sergeant were well satisfied
with the postponement as it would
render them eligible to compete,
Also, some of the future promotees

which time the present list, with | to Sergeant could become eligible,
72 names on it, should suffice, in' by being one year in the grade,

the staAy

In the City, the legislative com-
mittee visited Majority Leader
Councilman Joseph T. Sharkey,
and asked to have two bills in-
troduced. One was to get 1/60th
of base pay added to pension
after 20 or 25 years of service in
the Fire Department in lieu of
the flat sum of $50. The other
was to provide hospitalization

cies in paid fire departments in|

345 East 15th Street, Manhattan.

The written test will carry full
weight, which means that if a
candidate passes (75 is the pass-
ine grade) he will be placed on
the eligible list. The exam will
cover general accounting and au-
diting principles. More than half
of the candidates failed the last
test given in 1948.

Starting salary is $2,710 and
there are 70 openings in var-
fous city departments at present.

NEW YORK CITY NEWS

NYC Pay Policy Called Dodge to Avoid

Prevailing Rate Law Guarantee to Employees

By MORTON YARMON

A sharp attack on the practices
Budget Director Thomas J.

iterson’s office in dealing with|

NYC employees entitled to the
rates of pay prevailing in private
industry was launched by the
@entral Trades and Labor Coun-
gil, AFL, at a hearing held by
the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission on a proposed reclassifi-
fation of laborers and others in
the Department of Water Supply,
Gas and Electricity.

The fact that the Council, which
encompasses industrial and com-
mercial employees, as well as
City workers, suddenly stepped
up AFL opposition caused post-
ponement of action on the res-
olution. Budget Director Patterson
‘was away on a brief vacation and
@ny action will await his return,

fas the resolution, although nom- |
reclassification |

fmally affecting
and grading, essentially has to do
with pay.
Barry Represents Central Trades
James V. Barry, business rep-
resentative of the Central Trades
@nd Labor Council, declared
that the resolution followed a
pattern to which the AFL objects

Whereby resolutions are “not ren- |

dered in good faith and have for
their sole purpose the desire to
e@xciude certair civil service
fired from the protection of
ction 220 of the Labor Law,

“The courts have found that
Whe civil service workmen in-
volved are entitled to the prevail-
ing rate of wage” added Mr. Barry.
“Your changing of their title will
in no way affect. their duties but
will instead establish a very fine
legal technicality which will help
to prevent them from having the
benefit of this law in the future.

“The adoption of this resolu-
tion by the Commission could only
be construed as a subterfuge de-
signed to nullify to a great ex-
{ent a court decision.

“Insofar as the individuals in-
volved in this instance are con-
eerned, the City is obligated both
morally and legally to pay these
laborers a certain wage rate. Al-
though the language of Section
22 plainly refers to ‘laborer, work-
man and mechanic’ yet as of this

date, not one single laborer em-
ployed by the City of New York
receives the prevailing rate of
wage. |

“The Central Trades and La-|
bor Council has the greatest con-
fidence in the integrity and abil-
ity of the members of this Com-
mission and we are sure that you|
will not permit yourselves to be|
& party to any act or policy which |
would deprive any civil servant)
to his rights under the law.’

Jerry Wurt Accuses Patterson

Jerry Wurf, international rep-
resentative of the Federation of
State, County and Municipal Em-
ployees, AFL, charged that the
attempted reclassification eman-
ated from the Budget Director's
office and followed an offer by
Mr. Patterson of an annual wage
agreement and the title Repair-
man’s Helper, “the duties of |
which are yery numerous and di-|
versified.”

‘The majority of the employees
j refused to accept the offer, Mr. |
| Wurf declared in a memorandum
| submitted to the Commission, be- |

cause they wouldn't waive their

rights under the Labor Law, as
| the agreements require.

“If they. do demand prevailing
rates,” he said, “it will be im-|
possible to find any private em-
ployee performing the many and|
diversified duties of a Repairman’s |
Helper, therefore there would be
no standard of comparison and no |
method of determining how much |
they should get.” |

He added that “the Budget Dir-
ector is attempting to deprive the
men” of their right to higher pay.

Tells of Past Tactics |

“When he finds that the men
won't accept such an agreement,

he will unquestionably resort to
the same tactics that he used)
against the Pipe Caulkers,” com-|

tinued Mr. Wurf. “When they re- |
fused to sign an agreement. he im-
mediately threatened to cut the!
working week to two days. Some,
fearing he would make good his
threat, signed, Others refused. |
Thereupon he actually did reduce
those who refused to two working
days a week. This was indeed an
effective weapon. for

“Break the Bank"

BUT...

hortly were adopted, of a competitive

thereafter those who had been

reduced signed the agreement.
“The Budget Director has
proved in the past that he will
use the weapons at his disposal
to compel the men to work for
pay less than the prevailing rate
of wag
One of the Big Issues

The prevailing rate issue is one
of the most important ones in
NYC civil service. It involves,
directly or indirectly, about 20,,
000 employees, hence the AFL has
decided to oppose strenuously all
resolutions before the Commission
that would adversely affect the
rights of laborers, workmen and
mechanics under the Labor Law,

What Resolution Provides

The resolution proposed that
the Water service be established
as new Part 44 of the municipal
classification. The employees|
would be in the competitive class. |
They now have non-competitive
classification,

The titles and pay proposed
re:

a
Repairman's Helper (Water
Supply), to and including $3,150
per annum.
Repairman (Water Supply),
$3,260 to and including $3,750
per annum,

Foreman (Water Supply) ,2Grade
2, to and including $3,400 per an-
num.

Foreman (Water Supply), Grade}
3, $3420 to and including $3,900
per annum,

District Foreman (Water Sup-
ply), $4,000 per annum and over.

Superintendent of Repairs (Wa-

ter Supply), $4,250 per annum
and over.
The resolution also provides

that “the titles of all employees
in the title of Laborer with six
months’ permanent service in the
New York City Division of the De-
partment of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity on the effective
date of this resolution are hereby
reclassified in the title of Repair-
man's Helper (Water Supply).”

The AFL groups admit that
some of the laborers would ac-
cept the offer, if the resolution

title as Repairman’s Helper and
the $3,150 pay, but only because
they're not among Laborers
who had filed complaints with
Comptroller Lazarus Joseph and
who, if they win their case, would
be entitled to back pay to the
date of such filing.

Cost Has Been Running High

The City has been required re-
cently to pay hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in back pay in
suits arising under Section 220
= there are other suits pend-
ing.

The sudden rise in tempo of
the AFL opposition caused some
shifts of position regarding the
resolution. Commissioner Stephen
Carney, of the Department of
Water Supply, Gas and Electri-
city and Deputy Commission-

er Dominick Paduano had beeg
prepared a week before to support
the resolution.

Mr. Paduano appeared at the
hearing. He explained that Com«
missioner Carney had been une
der the impression that the re-
classification was acceptable to
the majority of the employees
affected, and only lately
heard differently, hence he didn’
want @ resolution to be
— the majority of the men op-

posed.

Deputy Commissioner Paduano
is director of the NYC Labor
League for Political Educati:
the electoral arm of the Polit
Extension Committee of the Cen
tral Trades and Labor Council. He
heads the AFL equivalent of the
CIO Political Action Committea,
