WINNING TEAM — Carol Dubovick, president of the Civil
Service Employees Assn.'s Orange County unit, accepts congratula-
tions from statewide CSEA president Theodore ©. Wenzl, after
employees of the county reaffirmed their cholce of CSEA as their
bargaining agent. The election in Orange, as well as CSEA’s win of
the general unit in Sullivan County, means that the opponent SEIU
still has yet to win representation rights in any county within the
state, despite their Increasing challenges, With Ms. Dubovick and
Dr, Wenal are CSEA field supervisor Patrick Rogers, second from left,

Bigger CSEA Mandate

(Special to The Leader)

GOSHEN—A second repre-
sentation election ordered on
& technicality in Orange
County resulted in the Civil
Service Employees Asan. emerg-
ing from that Dec. 6 contest
with a much stronger mandate
from county employees as con-
tract negotiations between CSEA
and the Orange County admin-
istration drew near.

OSEA defeated the Service Em-
ployees International Union by
@ 781-527 margin to retain repre-
sentation rights for Orange
County employees, CSEA earlier
this year defeated SETU by a
624-540 edge, but that result was
overturned by the Public Em-
ployment Relations Board due to
@ county administrative error.

‘The results indicated that
CSEA picked up considerable
support among county employees
during the period between the
first and second election as SEIU
support dwindled

With PERB validating the Dec.
6 result at Leader presstime, and
with official certification of
CSEA as the winner expected
shortly, CSEA appears to go into
1975 contract talks in a stronger
position,

On the same day CSEA won
in Orange County, it also de-
feated SEIU to retain representa-
tion rights for most county em-
ployees in neighboring Sullivan

County. CSEA trimmed SEIU
147-109, Continuing {ts domina-
tion over SEIU in the Southern
Region, CSEA defeated still an-
other challenge from SEIU, be
tween the first and second Or-
ange County elections, in the
Town of Greenburgh in West-
chester County by a margin of
about 4 to 1 in July.

Creedmoor Parents Told:
Union ‘Doesn't Hire, Fire’

QUEENS VILLAGE — A Civil Service Employees Assn. official told members of the
Parent Association of Creedmoor Psychiatric Center last week that complaints about em-
ployees there should properly be directed to the hospital administration.

“The union has never screened,

declared Dorothy H, King, &
Region 2 Mental Hygiene De-
partment representative to the
CSEA Board of Directors. “We
can't; we don't have that kind
of authority. So if you have con-
cern or complaints about the
conduct of a few employees o
of the thousands of dedicated,
decent people working here, then
you ehould be waging your fight
with the administration which
does screen, interview, hire and
fire the employees.”

Ms. King told the parents
they zero in on the wrong target
when they complain that CSEA
should not take an active role
in defending employees about
whom the parents complain. “It
is the administration's respon-
sibility to hire and fire em-
ployees, and if they allow un-
desirable employees to remain,
then it ts the administration that
fs not living up to its respon-
sibilities,” she said.

CSEA Responsibilities

“CSEA, on the other hand, has
the legal and the moral respon-
sibility to see that every em.
ployee receives the rights and
protection due them under the
la Ms. King continued.
“CSEA doem’t want undestrable
or unsuitable people here either,
but we do insist that every
worker charged with an offense
gets the justice and protection
coming to him or her. If an em-
ployee is clearly guilty, then it
is up to the administration to
take appropriate action. On the
other hand, an individual is in.

interviewed, hired or

nocent until proven guilty. We
believe many innocent people are
charged, and because CSEA 1s
doing its Job diligently in repre-
senting the employees, many peo-
ple wrongly charged have been

proven innocent,” Ms. King
stated
Ms. King said Creedmoor is

staffed with many thousands of
dedicated, compassionate employ-
ees who have the patients’ well-
being at heart. She pointed out
that many employees regularly
contribute thelr own money to
purchase various necessities for
patients that are otherwise not

Admitting there may be a few
incompetent and undesirable em-
ployees among the thousands of
completely acceptable workers,
Ms. King said the administration
should take action to weed them
out since the Administration put
them there in the first place and
keeps them there. “We will ac-

tian on behalf of some 4,000 Erie

negotiations last week when a
stalemate was reached on sev-
eral major items after a half-
dozen bargaining sessions be-
tween representatives of CSEA

not,” Mr. Costa told a Nov,
26 meeting of the executive coun-
cil of the Westchester County
chapter of the union.

severul reports rendered by his
committee and approved by con-
vention delegates within recent
years, Mr. Costa stressed the
need for more, and more com-
plete, communtcations between
chapters and their units and be-
tween the chapters and the re-
gion or statewide Association. In
this respect, he praised the West-
chester chapter and its president,
Ray Cassidy, for the local paper
which, in addition to The Lead-
er, makes for a well-informed
membership.

Tn & question-and-anawer peri-
od, 1 discussion developed on the
question of dual membership and
elected delegates. Mr. Costa
pointed out that the model con-
stitution provides that no mem-
ber holding dual membership in
& competing labor organization
shall be eligible to hold office in
CSEA, He also said that dele-
gates to convention should be
elected, stressing that delegates
had approved that section of his
committee's report which pro-
vides for the election of the stete-
wide nominating committee, and
that persons who serve on this

committee should not be ap-
pointed.
Satellite Office

When asked for his position on
satellite office status for the
Westchester chapter office, Mr.
Costa said that he was whole-
heartedly in favor of making that
office a satellite of the Associa-
ton, Stating that the office was
one of the most well-equipped
he had seen, that it was well
located geographically and that
space and services are being pro-
vided for the field staff, he felt
that it was only right that the
Association should designate the
Westchester chapter office as a
satellite and provide the appro-
priste funds for its operation.

In & discussion on the fiscal
affairs between county chapters
and their units, Mr. Costa said
that some county chapters are
complaining that a strain has
been placed on their budgets be-
cause of the 25 percent man-
dated refund to units. He sug-
gested that perhaps relief could
be obtained in this area by chap-
ters billing the units for certain
services rendered to them.

MINEOLA — Irving Flaumen-
baum, president of Nassau Coun-
ty chapter of the Civil Service
Employees Assn., announced that
the three town units in the chap-
ter have settled on contracts for
1975-76.

Members in the towns of
Hempstead and North Hempstead
ratified the settlements by large
margins, he said, and the Town
of Oyster Bay has scheduled a
ratification vote this week. All
three contracts provide pay in-
creases and anti-inflation pro-
tections.

Mr. Flaumenbaum compliment-
ed the town leaders, Hempstead
unit president Kenneth Cadieux,
North Hempstead unit president
Edward Ochenkoski and Oyster
Bay unit president Pat D‘Alessio.

“These are good, progressive
contracts worked out in the high
traditions of the CSEA for re-
sponsible and effective represen-
tation,” said the chapter presi-
dent.

The Hempstead contract pro-
vides 814 percent pay increases
in each year plus a cost-of-living
adjustment based on a formula
Mnked to the Consumer Price In-
dex, plus fringe benefits. The
North Hempstead negotiators
brought back an agreement pro-
viding 94 percent increase in
1975 followed by 6 percent or
the cost-of-living increase,
whichever is higher, in 1976, plus
& series of fringe benefits im-
provements. The Oyster Bay em-
ployees worked out a flat $1,000

state Public Employment Rela-

side union's attempt to fragment
the townwide unit.

‘The mass turnout represented
more than half the employees in
the Smithtown Town unit of
CSEA. Suffolk chapter president
James Corbin presided.

Negotiations have been delayed
because of the pending petition
by the National Maritime Union
for separate blue-collar unit.

‘The PERB ruling found “no
actual or potential conflict of
interest” between the white- and
blue-collar groups, and noted a
“long-standing history of mean-
ingful and effective negotiations
for all town employees” by the
existing CSEA unit.

‘The NMU had announced that
it did not want an election on
a townwide basis, and, as a re
sult, no representation election
was called, That freed employees
to enter into bargaining, A list
of bargaining demands ied by &
substantial cost-of-living pay ad-
Justment was worked out, and a
nominating committee was ap-
pointed to present a slate for a
new unit election.

The action reflected a failure
by outside unions in the major
Attack of the year on the Suffolk
CSEA. The town unit represents
about 400 employees.

Job Safety Fighter
Is Killed On The Job

(Special to The Leader)
ORANGETOWN —One of the Civil Service Employees
Assn,'s strongest fighters for job safety programs was found
dead Dec. 3 in an apparent accident at the sewage treat-

ment plant where he worked.

Gerald DeMeok, 22, of Bisu-
velt, had joined CSEA after go-
ing to work for the Town of
Orangetown several years ago. He
immediately began working for
improvements in job safety
standards for workers at town
treatment plans and other loca-
tions. At the time of his death,
he was a member of the union's
negotiating committee for the
Orangetown unit, and his spe-
cial interest was in establishing
tougher safety requirements,

‘Mr. DeMeola’s body was found
Moating in a sludge pit et the
sewage treatment plant about
31:55 am. According to Rock-
land County CSEA chapter pres-
ident John Mauro, “Nobody
knows if he was in there for 10
minutes or three hours.” At press
time, results of an autopsy on
the body had not been released.
An investigation is being con-
ducted into the circumstances of
Mr, DeMeola's death.

A month earlier, @ state sena-
tor and state assemblyman, at
the request of Mr. Mauro, toured
the Rockland County Sewage
‘Treatment plant, adjacent to the
Orangetown plant where Mr. De-
Meola worked. The legislators
saw dangerous conditions at the
Rockland plant and promised
to forward to the union the find-
ings of @ state agency and an in-
surance company, both of which
made recommendations in the
past year for remedying safety
hazards at the plant. The union
has yet to recelve them.

Coworkers and fellow CSEA
members expressed shock at the
news of Mr. Demeola’s death.

“He was a kid that everybody
Uked and respected," Mr. Mauro
said, “and it's horrible that he
could have died like that. That's
why we're looking into the in-
cldent.”

‘The Orangetown plant sludge
pit ls located underneath two
trapdoors and is approximately
20 feet in depth, according to
Mr. Mauro.

The funeral was held last
Saturday,

West Seneca
Calls Impasse

WEST SENECA — Charging
that the town’s negotiator, Earl
Knight, is “posturing” rather
than negotieting in good faith,
Johnny Alien, field representa-
tive for the Civil Service Em-
ployees Assn., declared an im-
passe in current negotiations and
asked the Public Employment,
Relations Board to name a medl-
ator to resolve contract bargain-
ing for Town of West Geneca
white-collar employees.

Declaring that Mr. Knight's
position on wages is “unrealis-
tic" in light of the town board's
own increase of 8 percent in
salaries, Mr, Allen said that an
offer of 5 percent with inflation
running at @n annual rate of
13 percent is “tantamount to
asking the town's employees to
take @ pay cut. Increases in ao-
cial security taxes and ceilings
further erode paychecks and dis-
posable income and hit hardest
at lower paid employees,” Mr.
Allen explained.

“We're not asking for the
moon; just justice and a chance
to keep up with prices,” he said.

Negotiations between the CSEA
unit, headed by Donald Mendola,
and the town have been in pro-
gress since October on a con-
tract expiring Dec. 31, About 50
employees are involved.

Fulton Employees Obtain Boost
Despite County’s Footdragging

JOHNSTOWN—Fulton County employees represented by
the Civil Service Employees Assn. will realize a $644 across-
the-board pay raise, effective Jan. 1, 1975, as their contract
with the county moves into its third and final year,

County officials appeared re-
luctant at first to grant the 1975
salary increase, citing “over-
whelming budget difficulties,” ac-
cording to Aaron Wagner, CSEA
field representative.

“The Pulton County Board of
Supervisors originally requested
that CSEA ask its members to
defer all raises or accept smaller
boosts,” Mr. Wagner said. “This
was totally unsatisfactory and we
refused to even bring the pro-
posal back to the members, You
can't ask employees to do with:
out @ salary increase when their
wages are already suffering when
compared to the rise in the cost
of living,” he explained.

‘The 12 percent hike, based on
@ l2-month costof-living in-
crease as given by statistics from
the consumer price index, will
affect 365 county employees of
the highway department, county
infirmary, county bullding and
nurses which comprise the Pulton
County chapter of CSEA.

CSEA representatives backed
their stand for substantial pay
increases by citing several past
years for which county employees
received only ome minor across
the-board increase and no gain
in fringe benefits. Mr. Wagner
also pointed out that the county
still maintains a contributory in-
surance program for employees.

Mortgage On Future
AYOR BEAME has taken steps to reduce the budgetary

gap that he estimates will be close to $330 million.
Comptroller Harrison Goldin says a truer figure is $650
million. State Senator Roy Goodman projects a $1.7 billion
budgetary deficit over the next 19 months.

So when you talk about permanent civil service em-
ployees being laid off, the hundreds of thousands who keep
their jobs sigh with relief that it was not them — this time.
When you close fire houses, areas of the City that still have
fire protection are momentarily startled, but glad that their
lives and property are still protected — for now. It’s a
frightening lottery-like situation where some are sacrificed
for the well-being of other people.

We feel that Mayor Beame early on came to the heart
of New York City’s problem. We thoroughly agree with Mayor
Beame that Welfare should be a Federal responsibility — not
just to aid this largest city but all other cities in the nation
that are faced with the same problem. New York City should
not be penalized for showing compassion, especially since
it is not in a position to control the nation’s fiscal policies.
It should be pointed out that when the previous Federal
Administration campaigned for higher unemployment as a
measure to hold down inflation, New York City was one of
the few areas of the nation to reject the Nixon candidacy
and platform.

The Mayor also makes points that the state, for its part,
should be forthcoming on aid for education, the courts and
correctional services—all city services for which New York
City receives insufficient or no state support compared to
other communities or institutions in other parts of the state.

We also take note of State Senator Goodman's analysis
that short-term borrowing has been a major source of the
city’s current plight. Again, we are in agreement. The idea
of borrowing from Paul to pay Peter has always struck us
as an irresponsible act by any branch of government (except
by the Federal Government, which does, after all, have the
authority to print new money and place value on It), The
situation in Long Beach, where employees were faced with
a crisis over payless paydays, does show that local govern-
ments must live within their means—or face bankruptcy.

Loans have to be paid back, and not merely by borrowing
more money at ever-higher interest rates.

We'd like to write an editorial that would solve every-
thing, but for the moment we'll limit ourselves to saying
that sacrificing Civil Service employees and endangering
untold lives by cutting back on fire and police protection
are real matters of concern, Across-the-board cuts are ex-
pedient, but poor substitutes for real answers.

potent forces in our government,
except, of course, in those in-
stances that they ascended to
the Presidency. Yet there is an
unusual air of expectancy both
in Washington and nationally
about the Rockefeller confirma-
tion. In a sense no one expects
Rockefeller to become an invisi-
ble person, exercising his only
Constitutional responsibility to
preside over the Senate and to
cast a deciding vote in the rare
cases of a tle vote.

Moreover, this sense of expec-
tancy is shared by President
Pord, The President has already
announced that Rockefeller will
serve as Chairman of his Do-
mestic Council, This in itself
would be a significant assign-
ment. It is especially significant
at this paint in our history, be-
cause domestic problems are so
completely woven into the fabric
of international policy.

The most serious domestic
problems revolve around the
state of the national economy
which ts suffering from the twin
evils of inflation and recession.
The solution of these problems
cannot be divoreed from such
international situations as mo-
nopoly pricing of oll by the or-
ganization of oil producing coun-
tries, by the need to increase in-
ternational trade and commerce,
and the need to improve our in-
ternational balance of payments.

Under the circumstances,
Rockefeller will be catapulted
into the major areas of national
concern, This fact ls underscored
by the fact that the President
spent several hours last week in
New York consulting with Rocke~
feller and his National Commis-
sion on Critical Choices on op-
tions available to the president
for dealing with the energy crisis,

In view of his experience as
Governor of the State for 15
years, the Governor is also an
expert in the serious problems
that loom ahead for New York
State and City, as well as other
states and municipalities, in try-
ing to balance their budgets in
& period of rising costs and de-
clining revenues.

In that situation, the Governor
will play @ significant role in
relation to Gov.-elect Hugh
Carey and to New York City
Mayor Abraham D. Beame, The
budget crunch in New York City,
however, is really no different
from the problems that are con-
fronting other levels of govern-
ment, The Mayor's decision to
fire thousands of civil service
employees may not have been
easy to make, but {t 14 too expedi-
ent and, from the civil service
point of view, sets a dangerous
example for other communities.
The situation calls for sub-
stantial appropriations of Fed-
ral aid to help local commu-
nities over their immediate prob-
lems.

Both Carey and Beame en-
dorsed the designation of Rocke-
feller for Viee President the mo-

A Refusal To Negotiate

In 1971, it was determined by the Appellate Division,
Third Department, in the case of Matter of County of Ulster
vy, CSEA that Ulster County and the Sheriff of Ulster County
were joint public employers of the Ulster County Deputy
Sheriffs. CSEA had been certified by the Public Employment
Relations Board as the bargaining representative for all of
the Deputies pursuant to the Taylor Law, and thereafter,
pursuant to that Statute, CSEA sought an agreement with
the County and the Sheriff through the process of collective
negotiations covering the Deputies’ terms and conditions of
employment. While the Sheriff did not attend the first few
bargaining sessions, he was present in person at all of the
remaining sessions, including one which was held on Dec.
12, 1972. At no time did he personally enter into the nego-
tiations with the CSEA representatives.

On the evening of Dec. 12, 1972 it seemed apparent to
the County and CSEA that an agreement had been reached
with the public employers. The Sheriff, however, refused to
sign an agreement embodying the terms which had been
agreed upon on the theory that the County negotiating team
had represented the Sheriff in the negotiations leading to
the agreement and that he (the Sheriff) had never agreed
to those terms.

88

CSEA CHARGED the Sheriff with an improper practice,
and in due course, a hearing was held before PERB which
resulted in a decision that the Sheriff's refusal to sign the
agreement was an improper practice and PERB directed the
Sheriff to sign the agreement.

The Sheriff of Ulster County sought review in the Albany
County Supreme Court under the Taylor Law pursuant to
Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules. A copy of the
PERB order had been served on the Ulster County Attorney
on Dec. 11, 1973 by certified mail. The County Attorney had
appeared for the Sheriff at the PERB hearings and also
upon the appeal of the hearing examiner's ruling to PERB.
PERB argued in this case that service of a copy of the order
on the County Attorney was service on the Sheriff, and that
said service marked the beginning of a 30-day period within
which the Sheriff had to appeal, The court cited Section 168
of the Executive Law, which says that when @& person is in-
volved as a party in a proceeding before an administrative
body such as PERB, and an attorney has filed a notice of
@ppearance in that proceeding on behalf of the person, “a
copy of all subsequent written communications or notices to
such person in such proceeding (other than subpoenas) shall
be sent to such attorney-at-law, and if any such subsequent
written communication or notice is sent to the party in the
proceeding, a copy of the same shall be sent to the attorney-
at-law at the same time.” The court interpreted the above
quoted language as equating service upon the attorney for
& party with service directly upon the party.

: «6

THE PERB BRIEF in this case discusses the question
of whether or not the power of PERB to deal with an im-
proper labor practice contained in Section 205(5)(d) of the
Civil Service Law is limited to the entry of an order directing
the public employer or employee organization to negotiate
in good faith. PERB argued that it is broad enough to auth-
orize the kind of order which is here under review. PERB
relied upon precedent emanating from the National Labor
Relations Board to the effect that a proper remedy is to
direct the defaulting party to sign the agreement which had
been reached, Section 209(a)(3) of the Civil Service Law
specifically provides that in applying that Section, funda-
mental distinctions between private and public employment
shall be recognized, and no body of Federal or State law
applicable, wholly or in part, to private employment “shall
be regarded as binding or controlling precedent.”

The court pointed out that notwithstanding this lan-
guage quoted above, the refusal to enter into a written
agreement which accurately expresses the settlement reached
in labor negotiations is a refusal to negotiate and, therefore,
it is appropriate to direct the Sheriff to sign the agreement.

REPORT TO THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK CITY
AND WESTCHESTER COUNTY

by Charles F Luce, Chairman of the Board, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.

_ To paraphrase Charles
| Dickens, 1974 was
“the best of years and
the worst of years” for
Con Edison and its
customers.

Our electric system
provided the most re-
liable service in a deo-
ade. We increased op-
erating efficiency by improvements in
our generating plants, and we reduced
the number of Company employees.
New data processing equipment to im-
prove customer billing, now installed
Company-wide, showed positive results
in the smaller divisions, where it was
first installed. And we received national
recognition for “social responsibility”
in such areas as minority employment
and purchasing. community supportand
energy conservation,

But 1974 also saw the sudden tripling
of fuel costs and double-digit inflation
which pushed customers’ bills to new
highs, and at the same time produced
a severe cash squeeze on the Company
which caused one quarterly dividend to
be skipped (the first since 1885) and
two others (o be cut more than in half.
Customer billing problems continued
at an unacceptably high mate in our lar-
ger divisions. And curtailments by pipe-
line companies that bring gas into the
Northeast forced us to seek PSC per-
mission nottoaccept new gascustomers,

System Performance

Good weather, energy conservation
and, most importantly, new and better-
maintained facilities produced for our
customers the mast reliable electric
service since 1963,

Primarily responsible was a $3 bil-
lion construction program which in the
past seven years enabled us to complete
or have in an advanced state of con-
struction some 6,8 million kilowatts of
new generating capacity; to retire 2
million kilowatts of old capacity; and to
quadruple our ability to transmit power
into New York City.

New generating capacity constructed
by Con Edison since 1967 is equal to
90 percent of 1967's existing capacity.

Energy Costs Soar

Casting a cloud upon the satisfaction
we feel in the improved performance of
our system in 1974 was the soaring cost
of electricity. Residential customers’
bills went up 40 percent or more: large
commercial customers’, 45 percent or
more, Gas bills went up less steeply,
but as natural gas shortages deepen,
price controls on gas production are
loosened, and expensive synthetic and
liquefied gas are used to make up short-
‘ages, gas rates too will climb steeply,

These increases, we know, hit peo-
ple's pocketbooks hard, especially
those on low or modest fixed incomes,
Other utilities’ rates, including publicly-
owned ones, have climbed as fast or
faster than Con Edison's, and our stock-
holders have not profited from the
higher rates (quite the contrary). These
facts, 10 be sure, are not much comfort
to our customers. But they do put things
in clearer perspective.

Why Our Rates Are High

The pie chart shows where each dol-
lar of our revenue went in the past 12
months, It also suggests why rates are
higher here than elsewhere,

About 58 cents of each dollar went
for just two items: fuel and taxes.
Wages and benefits took only 12 cents.

Because the law requires it, we bum
a very low sulfur oil which is the most
expensive boiler fuel on the market.
Its cost has tripled in litthe more than
a year, thereby increasing our cus-
tomers’ bills by more than $400 million
this year, Utilities that are allowed to
burn coal or higher sulfur oil pay sig-
nificantly less for the fuel they burn to
make electricity.

Taxes are the second major reason
why rates are higher, In 1974 our tax
payments to the state and local govern-
ments, including the sales taxes on
your bills, will be nearly $600 million,
up from $466 million in 1973

Taxes per KWH of electricity we sell
are three to five tine» as high as those
paid by other major wilities. Thismeans
our customers shoulder a tax burden
between $200 and $300 million a year
more than it would be in other major
cities,

There are other reasons why nites
are higher in New York,

Construction expenses are nearly
25 percent higher here than in other
metropolitan areas. Our underground
cable system, 10 times larger than the
next largest underground system in the
nation, costs 8 to 10 times as much to
build as the overhead systems used in
most other areas,

Where Each Dollar Goes:

What Can Be Done To Reduce
Electric Bills

We believe that the cost of electricity
in New York City and Westchester can
and should be significantly reduced.
‘These are actions that can help:

Reduce Fuel Costs: We have asked
city and state authorities for permis-
sion to burn somewhat higher sulfur,
and therefore less expensive, oil to re-
duce customers’ bills by an estimated
$85 million a year. We have also urged
the federal government to adopt a
policy that would “mix the price” of
foreign and domestic oil—and save our
customers an additional $135 million a
year,

Because of our tall stacks, the use of
higher sulfur oil will have a relatively
small impact on street-level air quality.
During last winter's fuel shortage, when
we burned fuel with a sulfur content

Pl sg pin pape
Sess mae bee exe sean

wiiae dike eee

There must also be a federal recogni-
tion of the unconscionable burden borne
by those East Coast consumers whose
utilities are required to burn expensive
imported oil.

Reduce Taxes: Surely there are more
equitable means for raising public rev-
enues than using Con Edison as New
York City’s and Westchester’s chief
tax collector,

That is why we advocate several
measures to bring our taxes more in
line with those of other utilities and
other forms of business:

® Repeal the sales tax on utility bills
as was done in Connecticut (a $130
million saving for our customers);

® Eliminate the windfall tax profit to
city and state governments by reducing
sales and revenue taxes on fuel to levels
prevailing before oil prices tripled (a
$62 million saving);

© Replace the gross receipts tax—
leveled only against utilities—with the
corporation tax borne by other busi-
nesses (a $140 million saving);

® Tax our real estate like other in-
dustrial real estate (a $43 million saving).

Improving Operating Efficiencies:
‘Though taxes and fuel represent the
greatest opportunity for reducing cus-
tomers’ bills, our efforts do not stop
there. We try to hold down costs through
any reasonable means that will not dam-
age our ability to maintain reliable
service,

For example, we have fewer em-
ployees than we did at the end of last
year—despite the addition of more than
500 employees for our new program of
monthly meter-reading. And although
we now provide nearly 75 percent
more power than we did in 1960, our
work force is smaller than it was then,
(By comparison, the City of New York
increased its employees by SO percent
between 1960 and 1970.)

Our efforts to improve efficiency dur-
ing the past few years have included
the establishment of modem systems
and procedures for cost control, bud-
geting, quality assurance, employee
training and research and development,
Additionally, we've cut crew sizes and
automated wherever practical,

Energy Conservation

Energy conservation is the one way
in which all customers can reduce the
size of their electric bills. By selecting
the most efficient appliances, tuming
off unneeded lights and appliances, not
overheating or overcooling residences
and places of employment, not wasting
hot water, and in many other ways cus-
tomers can reduce their bills. Booklets
that give advice on efficient appliance
selection and use, as well as on other
ways to conserve energy, can be ob-
tained at your nearest Con Edison
office, Or write for them from our Con-
sumer Affairs Department, 4 Irving
Place, New York, New York 10003,

Billing improvements

One result of higher rates is a large
increase in the number of customer in-
quiries, many questioning the accuracy
of higher bills, Our customer service
people have been deluged by these in-
creased letters, calls, and visits, Corre-
spondence backlogs have increased,
and at times telephone lines have be-
come,

This is why we are pdb ring an addi-
tional 500 customer service employees

for the three largestdivisions, These new
employees —working with our existing
staff and with our new computer system
—will help us give prompter and better
service. Because of payroll reductions
made earlier in the year, hiring them
will not bring total payroll equivalency
above what it was when the year began.
Eventually we will reduce employment
levels even in customer service.

Collections Improve

In the past year we intensified efforts
to collect outstanding bills and reduced
our “equivalent days of revenue out-
standing” from a high of 59 days to a
current level of 44 days.

To the large majority of our customers
who pay promptly, we say “thank you.”

Slow-paying, or non-paying, custo-
mers not only sap the financial strength
of our Company, but also hurt prompt-
paying customers whose bills conse-
quently are higher.

Gas Supply —Current and
Future

Last week we requested permission
to decline all applications for new gas
service received after January 15, 1975,
This step was taken with the greatest
reluctance, but we believe it necessary
to protect the gas supply of our exist-
ing customers.

We are making every effort to in-
crease gas supplies for our existing gas
customers with natural gas
and synthetic gas. But if pipeline _
backs continue as anticipated, gas sup-
ply will get worse before it gets better.

There is a desperate need to begin
immediately an exploratory drilling
program for the large quantities of gas
believed to lie under the Outer Conti-
nental Shelf, 30 to 100 miles off the
Atlantic Coast. Such gas is expected to
cost SO percent less than imported
liquefied natural gas, 11 will have less
environmental impact than alternative
energy sources. And it will be free from
the political uncertainties and balance-
of-payments problems that character
ize foreign fuel supplies.

Project Independence

The cost of imported oil and the in-
creasing shortage of natural gas are but
two reasons why all New Yorkers have
a vital stake in Project Independence,
@ national program to develop our own
large energy resources.

Our nation, whose economy runs on
energy, is dependent upon foreign
sources for an increasing share of that
energy. The foreign sources have organ-
ized a cartel whose Purpose is to make
sure that energy prices stay as high as
possible,

Fortunately, our nation has ample
basic energy resources—coal, nuclear,
off-shore oil and gas —to break the grip
of this cartel.

Fortunately, also, we have oppor-
pesvavel Sola) @ stringent national

bent 3f conservation to re-
eal rth our dependence on
this cartel while we are developing our
own energy resources,

What we need now is the national
will to make the hard decisions that

will, in the long run, benefit every
American, With leadership, determina

However, last Wednesday night
thres people were rescued by
them in @ fire on Crimmins Ave-
nue in the Bronx. It was con-
sidered to be “routine” and no-
body is bing written up for it.

However, a short time ago,
after arriving at Box 2187, Fire-
man Tom Guldner went to the
roof and while doing his job
there, was confronted by # police
sergeant who told him that two
radio cops were trapped on the
top floor of the fire building.
‘The fire was on the floor below
and was going “pretty good” as
the firemen say, Guldner went
down the inside stairway of the
firebuilding and found the cops
huddled together on the fifth
floor landing. They sald people
were trapped inside one of the
apartmerits and Guidner could
indeed hear cries for help. He
opened the door to a fully
charged apartment, crawled into
the apartment, down a hallway
‘and in the front room found a
woman and eight children. He
got to the window and had the
aerial ladder placed to the win-
dow and managed to hand out
six of the kids before the fire
on the flooor below burst out the
windows, forcing an end to the
ladder part of the rescuc. He
then persuaded the woman and
her remaining two kids to get
down on their knees and follow
him as he crawled back sixty
feet through murderous smok+
and heat to safety in another
apartment, He was written up
for fireman of the month. The
point I have to make here, how-
ever, is that with a company
which is doing so much work and
doing it so beautifully, how can
the Commissioner in any way
Justify its elimination? As Rich-

ard Viasin! of the U.PF.A. says

. “sheer madness”. . , I agree

CSEA’s Probation Committee
Favors State Group’s Reforms

ALBANY—The Civil Service Employees Assn.’s statewide Probation Committee said it
will seek to involve Gov.-elect Hugh Carey's transitional committee in implementing pro-
posals made by a state task force on probation, The recommendations made by the task force,
the CSEA said, closely parallel those put forth by the statewide committee.

Committee chairman James K
Brady, of North Tonawanda, an
Erie County probation officer,
said his committee concurs with
recommendations that the state
take over probation services in
all but the largest six counties
and provide 75 percent funding
and mandatory guidelines to in-
sure uniformity and professional
standards for the remainder.

Mr, Brady explained that the
CSEA committee’s proposals had
been based on continuing hear-
ings held statewide. The report
of the task force, set up by State
Probation Director Walter Dun-
bar and chaired by Deputy Di-
rector Robert Sullivan, was based
on a review of Section 247 of
the Executive Law. A summary
report on a three-county test of
state operated probation services,
departmental staff listings of
possible alternatives, and staff
developed budget information on
alternatives.

High Priority Item

The task foree, composed of
seven county probation officials,
the New York City director and
five state probation department
staff members, assigned the
highest priority to “seek an
amendment to tht existing stat-
Ute and expand the State service
to all areas of the state excepting
New York City and Suffolk, Nas-
sau, Westchester, Onondaga,
Monroe and Erie Counties,” with
an “increase in state subsidy to
a 75 percent or higher rate” to
the excluded counties, Estimated
Additional cost to the state for
this change would be $21,648,940.

The implementation, the re-
port says, would expand state
servic dramatically in a geo-
graphic sense, but would only af-
fect only about 25 percent of the
total probation work load of the
state.

“It should lead to the more
efficient and effective utilization
of probation programs and would
resolve salary problems in the
Jower paid jurisdictions,” the re-
port says. Mr. Brady said this
disparity in salaries is an under
mining force of the professional-
ism sought by probation officers.

In the report's listing of “con-
cerns or issues,” the first item
reads, “There is the problem of
disparate salaries, principally be-
tween state and local probation
personnel but also among the
counties. For example, state pro-
bation officer, $14,142; Nassau
County probation officer, $12,-
771; Sullivan County probation
officer, $8,300."

Probation Has Changed

CSEA's statewide Committee on
Probation, according to Mr.
Brady, has determined that the
total concept of probation has
been changed and made more
complex as @ result of the state's
tough drug laws and in the after-
math of the Attica uprising.
“Judges now place greater em-
phasis on probation and ‘harder’
cases are & result. Also probation
terms can now be extended for
life, therefore changing the en-
tire nature and site of the case
load of probation officers,” Mr.
Brady explained.

Referring to the three-county
pilot operation of probation ser-
vices by the State, the task force
report noted that the improve:

ments ‘could be the result of
many factors and therefore it
was conceivable that the same
results could be achieved locally
through increased salaries, merg-
ers, stricter enforcement of stan-
dards, and/or changes in leader-
ship or management styles.” The
state-operated pilot. program
was instituted June 1, 1972, in
Pulton, Montgomery and Warren
Counties and has been continued
indefinitely.

it ts extremely difficult to do so.
State Correction Commissioner
Peter Preiser also has rejected
the recommendation, stating, “It
has been historically proven and
accepted that the state Civil
Service system is necessary to
protect agencies from being
forced to hire people for poli-
tical considerations. I can tma-
gine few things worse than ex-
empting some of these employees
from the Civil Service system,”

“I object in the strongest pos-
sible manner to this recommen-
dation that the prison industrial
division employees be stripped of
the Civil Service status,” stated
Dr, Wenzi, “I agree with Com-
missioner Preiser that employees
should be hired and promoted
on merit and that we must not
allow a return to the old spoils

Prison Worker CS Status
ls Defended By Dr. Wenzl

ALBANY—A recommendation by a private consulting firm that more than 200 em-
ployees of the prison industrial division of the State Department of Correctional Services be
stripped of their civil service protection has drawn “the strongest possible objection” from

ple of trying to make civil serv-
jee employees the scapegoats for
problems, if there are any, which
are administrational and internal
to the department involved,” he
said,

‘The consulting firm's study,
which reportedly cost $80,000,
recommended “that s very severe
overhauling of the entire system
and practices with prison indus-
tries be undertaken,” including
removal of the Civil Service pro-

Judiciary Hikes

MANHATTAN — About 40
members of the Civil Service
Employees Assn. who are
employed by the State Judi-
clary Department received annu-
al salary increases totaling nearly
$40,000, according to Ethel P.
Roas, Judiciary representative to
the CSEA Board of Directors.

John Sheehan, of the Office
of Court Administration's per-
sonnel office, said the increases
came about when the State Leg-

chapter of the Civil Service Employees Assn. display a chapter charter granted July 10 by the OSEA

Directors and officially presented by Howard Cropsey, member of the OSEA non-teaching
officers

tection for employees.

The decision on which aspects
of the firm's report to imple-
ment, if any, reportedly will be
left to the new Democratic ad-
ministration which takes office
on Jan. 1, Mr. Preiser told a
newspaper reporter that he al-
ready has notified the incoming
Carey Administration of his op-
position to the proposal relative
to removal of Civil Service status
for the employees.

Some Salaries

islature dropped a salary provi-
sion enacted in 1972 which had
forbidden any employee from
receiving more than two incre-
ments at the same time, even
though the employee's wages
were below grade.

“Some people received more
and some received less,” Mr.
Sheehan commented, “Basically
it was a third-step adjustment,
so that all who were on board
in ‘72 are now at thelr third step
where they would have been had
the limitation not been written.”

Ms. Ross said the increases of
which she is aware range from
$24 to $6,668 and payments were
made between Oct. 16 and Nov.
13. She added that the lat of
salary changes supplied CSEA
did not include all known CSA
employees and did not include
the amounts received by non-
member employees, Therefore,
she noted, the total amount of
all increases is unknown at this
time.

Ms, Ross sald the CSEA has
several salary grievances filed in
1973 on behalf of its Judiciary
members and that these are cur-
rently being scheduled for arbi-
tration, A number of these relate
to interpretations of the various
subsections of Judiciary Law 210
enacted in 1972, under which
many Judiciary employees were
assigned salary grades for the
firet time,

cial questions bearing upon the
