Plans for a Fireman (F.D,) test next November or

in completing a number of major examinations on

be retained.
For a time it appeared that the Commission would
not be able to fit a Fireman test into its schedule which
was stalled by the zero per cent disability issue. Now the
Commission feels that the preference dilemma, that held
up promulgation of lists and increased the work load,
Dewey Weighs a Raise
For State Employees
‘ALBANY, Oct. 13.—Governor Thomas E. Dewey was reported by members of his
official family to be giving close attention to the State salary situation. He was in-
formed of the request of The Civil Service Employees Association for a raise of at least
25 per cent. While no actual figure or method has been decided on, even tentatively,
it was stated that the governor is weighing the State employees’ plight.
Men close to the Governor say that he will recommend to the Legislature a defi-
nate plan for an increase.

Member of the Employees’ Merit
Award Board.
Annual Report of The President
ALBANY, Oct. 13.—The Report of President Frank L. Tolman
to The Civil Service Employees Association at the 37th annual meet-
ing follows:
It is the privilege of the President to report on the happenings
of the last year to the Association,
This js the first opportunity I have had to look back on 12
eventful aonths. These months have been so full of a number of
things, that I have seemed to live them over again in recollecting
them. I will not report in detail as that would tax your patience.
I will recall some of the dramatic and (to me significant) high lights
ef the Association year.
You remember that special meeting of Delegates in the State
office Building on February 8th. You remember I attempted then
to bring you up to date on what appeared to me to be a well con-
ceived attempt to put the sociation into a straight jacket, or as
you M.H, people might prefer to phrase it a camisole. (M.H. people
know far more about the art of official restraint than do I.)
As our good counsel J. T. DeGraff, Jack Holt-Harris and I re-
ported somewhat fully to you then, and as our remarks were printed
in the State ployee, I shall hasten over those months,
A Forward Decision
At the time of the last annual meeting of the Association matters
of internal policy were the chief questions at issue. Should we adopt
a new forward-looking policy of expansion and growth, revise our
Constitution, and extend membership to civil service employees of
cities, counties and other local subdivisions of the State, (except
New York City).
Your decision was to go forward, A field representative was
appointed for the County Division, and we have with us today,
delegates from many County Chapters, the first fruits of your
decision.
T
order of Association business after the Annual Meeting is
preparation of bills to be introduced in the legislature to carry out
the resolutions adopted at the annual meeting. Our counsel attempted
first to get the widest possible agreement from the various depart-
ments concerned as their official opposition would generally be fatal.
A very large variety of important bills were prepared and intro-
duced early in the Legislative Session. The control of legal action
by the lative leaders was tight, and the passing of bills was
unusually difficult, In view of the situation, our record was good—
far better than that of any other employee Association.
‘The Governor in his Annual Message and in his Budget message
indicated that his salary policy for the year would be one of salary
adjustments rather than of general salary increases. He relied on
the Salary Survey together with subsequent action by the Salary
Board to correct inequities in the salary structure, He agreed that
the War Bonus should be incorporated in the basic salaries, and that
ne ry overtime over 40 hours should be paid for at straight time
More than $30,000,000 and certain unexpended balances were
case, of the employees of the State ws, the State of New York, or the
DeMarco suit.
The Deferred Increments
When I first heard by the grapevine that the State would not
all increments
lary adjustments long
overdue and made effective as of April 1, 1947. To my mind made
effective means what these words have always meant in the Feld-
Hamilton Law—it means they are paid on or as of that date.
This question is a question of good faith on the part of the
State. Suppose you
beginning April Ist but that you have to make up your accounts
first and some bills will not be in until October, so on October ist
you will give him the extra allowance he would have received if he
had been paid the increased allowance regularly each week since
April lst. This is good for him because Xmas is coming. Then you
tell him a bit later that as he has been paid an allowance each
month he hasn’t anything coming to him and besides that as the
extra allowance becomes effective April Ist, it can’t begin until next
April comes around, for thet is the earliest April there is. If he
lives long enough he will receive the same total allowance because
you will never pay him more than a certain maximum amount.
Could you put that over on your kid? We think the Courts should
decide the issue.
Some of the Successes Listed
The Association was active and successful in obtaining pay for
authorized and required overtime over 40 hours weekly. There have
been unconscionable delays in paper work and in pay checks. The
Association is active in securing prompt action and the widest in-
clusion of eligibles.
The Association was active and successful in establishing longer
vacations for institutional workers, shorter work hours for employees
not regularly required to work and paid for overtime in extending
the 5 day week and in revising attendance rules to fit new conditions,
The Association has been successful in protecting promotion
tights and promotion lists. The Civil Service Commission recently
amended the regulations to reduce the term of eligibility of promo-
tion lists from four to two years, This seriously reduced the pres-
ent promotion opportunity of thousands of State employees and
would adversely affect all employees in the future.
The Association appeared before the Civil Service Commission
to request that all cancelled promotion lists be reinstated, and the
term of eligibility be restored to four years. The Commission has
amended the regulation as requested by the Association. Thanks
are due the Commission for promptly changing its collective mind,
Since the enactment of the Feld-Hamilton Law, the Association
has never asked for a general salary increase, properly so-called,
We have asked for many reallocations of underpaid positions.
We have asked for emergency bonuses.
To keep your house at an even temperature, you need more
heat in the cold winter days. To keep even in salary, you need more
and more dollars as the dollar buys less and less. We have asked
for enough dollars in salary to buy what our fewer dollars bought in
pre-war years. We have not asked for any increase in real dollars
or purchasing power.
‘No Monkey Business for Us’
We believe that, if fairly and properly administered the Feld-
Hamilton Law would act as a thermostat to fairly adjust salaries to
changing conditions. The Salary Board decreed otherwise. They
openly ignored economic and wage changes until compelled to make
one long overdue salary study. They went outside the State service
hurriedly and briefly to spy out the land and feel the temperature
in private industry, and hurried back and made a report so contrary
to fact and so lacking in sound statistical method that we were com-
Ppelled to demonstrate the fundamental falacies,
It is silly for anyone to suppose they can convince the thousands
of State employees that they, by some magic of statistics, have
received far more than appears on their paychecks. We know bet-
ter. We refuse to be fooled. We will not let the public be fooled
if we can help it. No monkey business for us.
You decide today on the future policy and program of the As-
appropriated or authorized for the purpose, ‘sociation. You elect your new officers. In my opinion the Associa-
The Governor stated that if the cost of living continued to
climb, he would be constrained to recommend general adjustments
to the next Legislature.
In conferences with the Director of the Budget, the Governor's
nd the Governor your officers and counsel made the strong-
ible argument and appeal for a temporary bonus in addition
to what the Governor offered,
In particular, attention was given to the Budget Bill which in its
original form would have substituted the so-called Burton plan for
the Feld-Hamilton career plan.
Here again the Association put its full strength behind an effort
to write into the Administration Bill the most essential principle of
Feld-Hamilton establishment and protection of the minimums for
skilled positior ry increased in proportion to advancement in
Promotional series, limitation of possible salary decreases,
The Three Major Objectives
The Budget Director arranged a conference with representatives
of the Civil Service Commission, Salary Standardization Board and
Attorney General at which many of our proposed safe-guarding
amendments were accepted. Before this discussion, a special meet-
ing of the delegates was called February 8 to consider the dangerous
situation confronting the employees,
The delegates stood firmly as one man behind the officers in
their major objective
A
lary Bonus
A Real 40 Hour Week
Safeguards in the new Salary Law
Following the special meeting of delegates came the campaign
for the cost of living bonus. Time was yery short, but the members
rallied to support our bill. The bill never came to a vote in the
Legislature, Had we had a bit more time, the story might have
been different.
The Conlon-Wadlin Bill was amended, supplied with a set of
formidable teeth and rushed through the Legislature as an adminis-
tration bill. The bill prohibited strikes in public employment. The
Association has always pledged its members not to strike. The bill,
however, also carried provisions which would have made the lockout
and discharge of employees very easy and which could be used to
nullify much of the essential features of the Civil Service Law,
The Proposed New Labor Board
The Association proposed to the Goyernor, a bill modeled on
the Fair Employment Practice Act, to safeguard the Civil Service
rights of employees, We were told that nothing could be accomp-.
lished in the dying days of the Legislature but that the matter
would have the attention of the Governor. The Governor has asked
the Pewsonnel Council to study the problem and to report to him,
A special committee of the Association has been very active and
has drafted, with the assistance of our Counsel, @ proposed bill to
establish a Public Employment Labor Relations Board with Em-
ployer-Employee committees in all levels of State Government. The
services of the Board are made available to local subdivisions of
the State
You have received a copy of the bill and heard the committee
on its objectives and its importance, To me it represents the em-
bodiment into law of the essential methods and ideals of our As-
sociation, namely: the reaching of decision through full and fair
conference between the parties involved.
Next came the sequence of events that lead to the famous law
tion is stron; and closerknit than at any time in the past, It
will not be ony to win all the benefits you want, but I believe the
Association has demonstrated that it is not afraid to fight in a
just cause. Together we can win—not everything, but much, To-
gether let us go forward.

nday night, October 6, Presi-
int Frank L, Tolman told the
ociation delegates “there al-
ys is and always will be a cris-
in Civil Service.” He substan-
ved this by quoting from a
fpaign speech denouncing the
ate Civil Service Commission
‘de by Thomas E, Dewey, then
pandidate for Governor against
rbert H. Lehman, prior to the
ng election, adding, “The evils
) State employees whereas then

1, specificially mention the
me of the candidate he quoted.
“We have more temporaries and

ter of pressures of all kinds,
we must depend on the ‘re-
m groups. ‘The employees
st wage the fight for civil serv-
and for the merit system in
pperation with these organiza-
ns of the citizens we serve.”
Two Discuss Crisis
Irhe crisis was discussed by two
akers who have given close
dy to civil service—William F.
Donough, Executive Represen-
of the Association, and its
st President, and Mrs, Robert
internitz, of NYC, a member of
fe Ciyil Service Reform Associ-
fon and of the League of Women
McDonough stated the crisis
the low-ebb condition of the
system and called for a
far’ relentless campaign to

ved support from Dr, Tolman,
ho added that the subject would

ment of Public Works, Rochester,
Last week the history of the Cox-
sackie Chapter, by James J,
Walsh, was published.
Ray Brook State Hospital was
founded in 1904 and was the sec-
ond public institution in this
country founded for the treat-
ment of Incipient Pulmonary Tu-
berculosis. It is located in the
heart of the Adirondacks, be-
tween Saranac Lake and Lake
Placid, and has an altitude of
1,600 feet.
For many years, employees of
the hospital had been members of
The Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation, but had seldom taken a
very active part in its affairs.
In January, 1945 it occurred to a
small group that the formation
of a Chapter would assure the
members of a direct contact with
the parent organization in Albany
and provide means for various
types of entertainment and re-
laxation. With these motives in
mind, Emmett J, Durr, Chapter
President, wrote Clifford C, Shoro,
then President of the Association,
for information on forming a
Chapter, and the possibility of
obtaining a Charter for the group.
Subsequently, with the aid of Mr,
Shoro and Wallace F. McDonough,
Executive Representative, the
Chapter was formed.
Mr. Durr canvassed every em-
ployee, and not only reached the
required quota of 50 signatures,
but increased the membership to
175, who became the charter
members of the Chapter. Formal
presentation of the Charter was
made at the inaugural banquet on
June 6, 1945, by Mr. Shoro,
Doing a Good Job
The Chapter in its 2% years
has been chiefly concerned with
self-organization, but has not
failed to support the Association’s
entire program in every way with-
in its power, The various com-
mittees are functioning smoothly
and doing a good job. Particu-
larly important is the Sick Com-
mittee who's chief interest is in

and achieved 100 per cent, Other

feels that its members have he-

have an opportunity to get to-
gether more frequently,

Boundaries Discussed
By Southern Conference
ALBANY, Oct. 13—Uncertainty
about the boundaries
Southern Conference of the Civil
Service Employees Association will
probably be cleared up at the
next meeting of the Association's
board of directors. This was an-
nounced at a meeting of the Con-
ference held last Tuesday after-
noon, as part of the annual ses-
sion of the Association in the De-
Witt Clinton Hotel,
Francis A, MacDonald, of War-
wick State School, Chairman of
the Conference, who has been
elected Representative from the
Social Welfare Department on the
Association’s State Committee, ex-
plained that Columbia and West-
chester counties were excluded
from the Southern Conference so
as to permit him to remain on
the board as representing the
Southern Conference,
MacDonald's Statement
Legally, Mr. MacDonald told
the meeting, the Chairman of a
Conference may sit on the board
only if his group has affiliated
with it at least 50 per cent of all
eligible chapters. The Southern
Conference, he continued, with a
potential membership of 20 chap-
ters in nine counties, had a mem-
bership of only eight chapters, or
40 per cent, However, the Board
of Directors asked him to join
them nonetheless; then, to legal-
ize this action, they removed from
the Southern Conference the
‘ounties of Columbia, with
chapter, and Westchester,
three,
of the}
\
Since that time, Mr. MacDonald
went on, he has received the
promise of six additional chap.
ters to join the Southern Confer-
ence by January 1, 1948, and he
will therefore ask the Board of
Directors to return Columbia and
Westchester counties to his group.
Another opinion on the futur
boundaries of the Southern Con-
ference was offered at the meet~
ing by Angelo J. Donato, Presi-
dent of the Palisades Interstate
Park Chapter, who was likewise
elected as a member of the State
Committee, from the Conservation
Department, He suggested that
boundaries of the conferences be
re-zoned according to “conveni-~
ence,” adding that some portions
of Westchester and Rockland
counties might logically fit within

tary, were present,

that “the next three years will

hardest-working men at the the responsibilities that had been
annual meeting of The Civil Serv- | placed upon it. The job was com.
touching event at the annual
meeting of The Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association occurred just
prior to the final business meet-
ing. “Special presentation to Pres-
ident Tolman,” was the scheduled
event,
It was the enjoyable responsibil-
ity of the First Vice-president,
Jesse B. McFarland, to make the
presentation. It turned out to be
a handsome quarto scroll, beauti-
fully illuminated, attesting to the
abilities and courage of Dr, Frank
L. Tolman, who was about to fin-
ish his first term as President of
the Association. A later event on
the program corroborated every-
body's certainty that he would
succeed himself.
$1,000 Gift Refused
Mr. McFarland rose, spoke
glowingly of how Dr. Tolman had
endeared himself to the hearts
of the membership, and read the
text of the scroll. The wording
was that of a resolution adopted
by the Board of Directors of the
Association on motion of Victor
J, Paltsits, Banking Department,
seconded by Arthur J. Gifford.
Mental Hygiene Department.
The resolution also called for
the presentation to Dr. Tolman
of an honorarium of $1,000, par-
ticularly as he served without pay.
Mr. McFarland reported Dr. Tol-
as having said that it was
right to draw up the check,
but that there was no need to
sign it, as it would not be ac-
cepted, although the appreciation
of the sentiment behind the offer
of the honorarium was deeply ap-
preciated.
An Artistic Skill Detected
‘The depth of Dr. Tolman’s feel-
ings were evident when he r to
respond to the gift, He was very
proud of its magnificerve and
he.d up the scroll for a'l to see.

Overtime Pay
Suit Begun by
Rome Employees
UTICA, Oct. 13. — Four em-
Ployees of the Rome State School
have started a suit against the
State for overtime pay in the
Court of Claims, Utica. They are
James C. Tully, Supervising At-
tendant at the Green Colony of
the Rome State Schoo] in Green-
way, seeking $492.90; Mrs. Jane
Tully, his wife, Staff Attendant at
the colony, $471.70; Walter R.
Van Horne, Staff Attendant at
the institution’s colony in Frank-
fort, $450.50; and Mrs. Eleanor C.
Van Horne, Supervising Attend-
ant at the Frankfort colony, $477.
The claimants seek a total of
$1,492 for overtime work from
March 1, 1945 to August 15, 1945.
The suits are based on the con-
tention that Section 168-A of the
Labor Law permitted the pay-
ment of overtime to the claim-
ants,
More Claims Possible
If the suits are successful more
extensive claims are expected
from 65 to 70 Rome State School
workers employed at colonies cov-
ering more than three years—
from February, 1943 to March 31,
1947. The claims would total be-
tween $256,000 to $400,000.
W. Cullen Stevens and James T.
Griffin, of Rome, are attorneys for
the employees,
Representing State
Representing the State are As-
sistant Attorneys General Edward
R. Murphy and Walter Conway.
In a statement to the court, Mr.
Murphy described the claimants
as the House Fathers and the
House Mothers at the colonies
and said any overtime that they
worked lacked proper authoriza-
tion.
He said that the only employees
at the Rome State School who
were paid for overtime were at-
tendants assigned to specific
shifts, and who were authorized to
extra hours.
State Workers Told They
Must Act for
ALBANY, Oct. 13—State em-
ployees were warned last week
that although the bill which
would establish a Labor Relations
Board for the State service
amounted to a “Magna Carta for
State employees,” its chances for
Passage were completely depend-
ent on the pressure exerted by
the State employees themselves.
“Neither this bill nor any sim-
ilar bill will get through unless
every member of the Civil Service
Employees Association gets be-
hind it,” stated Andrew C. Doyle,
mediator for the Labor Depart-
ment, at a panel meeting of the
Association’s Committee on Labor
Relations in Government held as
part of the annual meeting at
the DeWitt Clinton Hotel. He
specifically urged Association
members to contact their local
representatives in the State Leg-
islature.
The bill, written by a group of
which Mr. Doyle, of the Labor
Department, was Vice-chairman,
would set up a Public Employment
Labor Relations Board within the
Civil Service Department, in many
aspects similar to the State Labor
Relations Board which has juris-
diction over private employees.
The Board would be comprised of
three members appointed by the
Governor .at an annual salary of
$10,000.
Proposed Functions
The functions of the board
would be two: to hear appeals on
personnel matters unregolved by
joint employer-employee commit-
tees set up at various govern-
mental levels by the same propos-
ed legislation; to hear appeals of
‘Magna Carta’
employees discharged under the
provisions of the Condon-Wadlin
no-strike act passed at the 1947
session of the Legislature.
The 50 Association delegates
present at the discussion express-
ed unanimou approval of the bill,
and a resolution urging its pas-
sage by the Legislature was pass-
ed by the entire delegate body of
the Association.
Mr. Doyle stated that “State
employees” rather than “public
employees” would be covered, at
least at first, by the proposed
legislation. “If we had included
all public employees,” he explain-
ed, “we would have been too bog-
ged down by complications. We
have limited experience in this
work for, remember, no state in
the union has anything like this
legislation.
John F, Powers, State Insurance
Fund, Vice-President of the As-
sociation, was Chairman of the
committee that drafted the leg-
islation but was prevented by ill-
ness from attending the session
in Albany, His absence was deep-
ly regretted and wishes were ex-
pressed for his speedy recovery.
Other members of the committee
were?
Charles H. Foster, Executive
(Budget); Charles R, Cox, Health
DDept.; Steven C. Davis, Labor;
Victor J. Paltsits, Banking; An-
gelo J, Doneto, Conservation;
Gordon 8. Carlile, Mental Hy-
giene; Theodore Becker, Curl

and Dr. A. A. Thibaudeau, Ros-
well Park State Hospital.

ing the unprotected government service, I can only
say that it is a fascinating but dangerous trade, that the
rewards are few but the satisfactions many, that you must
play according to the rules of the game even if they may
seem unfair or obsolete, that the chances for individual
brilliance are fairly good, although teamwork is essential
and that lawyers can best afford the risks because they
have something to go back to,

A Word to Legislators
On State Pay Raise
ET’S get one thing straight—an upward revision in the
pay of employees is a MUST on the agenda of New
York State.
The question ean’t be confused or befuddled by such
issues as prevented a raise last year.
As for this newspaper—we intend to “stick with it”’—
to hammer and to thunder and to present the facts and
to use our influence in every possible way—until that
necessary revision of pay is achieved,
As for State employees, the time to begin work for an
upward revision of pay is now—not when the Legislature
convenes,
Not in years have the employees had so thorough, so
solid, so incontrovertible a case, As Dr. Frank L, Tolman
has succinctly put it: ‘“Let’s stop calling this thing we’re
asking for a pay increase. It’s not an increase, We're ask-
ing simply to be brought up to the level of what we earned
before the war.” :
Shocking Mr. Legislator? You didn’t know that State
employees earn less today than they did before the war?
Odd, Mr. Budget Director, when you know that various
additional sums have been added to the pay envelope in
the past few years?
Shocking, yes. Odd, yes. It illustrates in part the tre-
mendous strength of the employee's case. Here’s the
fact: While the cost of living index stands at 161, pay
is 25 points to 48 points below the index, with 1939 as
the norm.
This mean The State employee who earned $1 in
1939 now ear 1.14 to $1.36. But the food, clothes and
shelter which cost that employee $1 in 1989 now cost him
$1.61. Moreover, that’s in terms of the official index.
Everybody knows that actual living costs are higher even
than the official index reveals.
That's why the average State employee is able to buy
less for his family today than he did in 1939,
This is only one of the facts, It shows how powerful
is the case for a pay raise at this time,
State employees, through their organization, have re-
solved to put in a request for a 25% across-the-board
upward pay revision,
Mr. Legislator, if you grant this—the State will still
be getting away cheap! The employees are showing them-
selves moderate. That 25% is not a “bargaining” figure—
it doesn’t even bring them to their 1989 position. More-
over, the situation is so acute that legal means may have
to be found so that the new pay scales can be made retro-
active to October 1. Employees point out that nothing
in the economic picture indicates a coming reduction in
prices and they can’t wait until next April 1, when the
new pay scales would normally go into effect.
(Note: Every New York State legislator will receive
a copy of this editorial.)

The following is another in-
stalment of a series of articles on
the founding, growth, policies,
principles and achievements of
The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation,
¥ October 6 and 7, The Civil
Service Employees Associa-
tion held the largest and most
important annual meeting of its
37-year history,
The 1947 meeting recalls
October, 1929, “when the Associa-
tion was almost as ‘low’ as the
prices on Wall Street” which be-
gan their fateful depression drop
during that same month,
‘The decision of the Association
in 1929 to begin a militant cam-
paign for better personnel admin-
istration and to expand its mem-
bership—up to then confined to
the Competitive Class — marked
the beginning of a remarkably
helpful era for State employees.
At that time, the Civil Service
Commission listed 26,619 State
employees classified as follows:
Competitive, 11,688; Non-com-
petitive, 10,259; Exempt, 617;
Labor, 2,838; Unclassified, 1,217.
The Association's membership
today, of 36,000, is considerably
greater than the total number of
employees in 1929.
Since 1930, the Association has
opened its membership to all
classes of State employees and
College

ough, President; Beulah Bailey,
Vice President; Walter M. Bate,
Recording _ Secretary; + Loretta
Bowers, Financia] Secretary;
Frank O. Bauer, Treasurer; Wil-
liam M, Thomas, Special Agent,
Joseph D. Lochner was chosen

ability and energy and devotion
to the Association have contribu-
ted greatly to its success,
There was also chosen a Gen-
eral Committee of thirty-one,
drawn from the different State
departments and -agencies, The
names of that Committee con-
stitute a roster of as able men and
women as ever served the State
of New York. Here is the list:

Quick Progress
The first act of the 1930 As-
sociation administration was to
outline to the Governor, Franklin
D. Roosevelt, and to the Legisla-
ture the need for additions to the
Civil Service law to bring pro-
cedures in line with progressive
advances in personnel administra-
tion. The Association sought par-
ticularly the adoption of a com-
prehensive classification (salary)
promotion plan for all State
service,
In that first year of reorganiza-
tion, the Governor and Legislature
were so impressed with the fair-
ness of the requests of the As-
sociation representatives that they
approved salary adjustments total-
ling nearly $1,000,000—a huge
amount in 1930,
But more important than the
wage increases was the appoint-
ment of a Legislative Civil Service
Survey Committee under a resolu-
tion offered by Senator Charles J.
Hewitt, This Committee was com
posed of Assemblyman Eberly
Hutchinson, Chairman; Senators
John W. Gates, Bert Lord and
William T, Byrne and Assembly-
men Louis J. Lefkowitz, John P.
Hayes, and Richard B, Smith. The
Committee was given a prelimin.
ary appropriation of $35,000. The
Committee employed Griffenhag-
en and Associates, Inc, to accumu-
late the facts necessary to a sound
classification and salary plan,
‘This Committee did not finish its
work until 1932, Altogether, more
than $100,000 was expended in the
study of State service. The sur-
vey was one of the largest con-
ducted up to that time.
Politics Creates a Peril
It was inevitable that with a
Governor of one political party
and a Legislature of another par-
tisan politics should arise. On the
need for salary reform there was
no doubt, however. Governor
Roosevelt admitted that State sal-
aries were “chaotic”, Chairman
Hutchinson said they were fixed
“by guess or ‘by God’ ”—meaning
that on the one hand there was
no scientific classification of posi-
tions or equitable pay scales and

DeGraff Cites Disparity
Mr, DeGraff iashed out particu-
nly at “errors” in the Salary
andardization Board's original
port—errors which, he main-
ined, had given the Governor &

foyee’s real salary He referred

ch had led the Governor to
ert that “the average salary
1946 is 45 per cent above 1942,
i 61 per cent above 1938,”
In this report, Mr, DeGraff dis~
ned, figures for maintenance
id rtime are included in the
46, but not in the 1938 and
42 figures. The attorney cited a
se to show how serious this
yor is in practice,
John Jones and Bob Smith
“Suppose,” he illustrated, “an
ee named John Jones re-
ved in 1938 @ salary of $1,500

somewhat the same way sbcut the
Salary Standardization Board’s
report.”
Charles Armstrong’s Charts
Mr. Armstrong, using two large
simplified wall-charts, 3et out to
prove that “in terms of the cost
of living, State employees have
taken a big cut in salary since
1939.” Mr, Armstrong’s charts
showed that the State employee
is from 24 per cent (in the lowest
brackets) to 48 per cent (in the
upper brackets) worse off today
than he was in 1939.
“What's happened to wages in
private industry?” Mr. Armstrong
asked, and then gave some statis-
tics. The average weekly earning
in New York State manufacturing
in 1939 was $27 a week. In 1947,
it was up to $53 a week. Total
income of all people in the State
is double what it was; the State's
income from taxes is double. Only
the State employee has stayed
behind.
“In one year, from July 1947,
the cost of living has, advanced
17 per cent.” he said.
“The cost of living index now
stands at 161, and is still going
up.”
It was also pointed out that
even though some categories of
State workers may have gotten as
much as 45 per cent increase in |
have been at the entrance level,
thus penalizing those family men
who have been longest in the serv-
ice and have assumed the greatest
personal responsibilities.”
His chart showed that low-
salaried employees are about 25
per cent of getting a full salary
adjustment in terms of pre-war
pay. Highest-paid employees are
short 45 to 48 per cent,
Other members of the Salary
Committee made the point that
the State is extremely slow in
costs. “Nor are we near of the
top of the rise in costs now. It
looks as if high prices are no
short-term situation.’
Effective When?
The question came up as to
whether a salary adjustment
could be made effective as of
October 1, so that employees
wouldn’t need to wait until April,
1948, for increases. Dr. Frank L.
Tolman, Association President,
gave it as his interpretation that
such action would be possible. He
showed where moneys could be
found to make this adjustment,
and cited legal methods by which
it could be achieved.
Dr. Tolman then said:
“I object to the statement that
| we are asking an increase in liv-
ing costs. What we're asking is a
wage based on the purchasing
pay, that doesn’t help the em-| power of the dollar. We're asking
ployee who has gotten only 14) the same salary we received in
per cent,
pre-war years.”
‘The assemblage went on record
as recommending a 25 per cent
“across-the-board” increase in pay,
with’ the alternative of a “sliding
scale” setup, whereby wages
would advance or recede with the
cost-of-living index.
State Slow to Respond
A curious fact about the dis-
tribution of pay raises was
brought out. It’s this: the greatest
percentage pay increases in one
department surveyed has gone to |

‘WASHINGTON, Oct, 13.—Fed-
eral officials who illegally fire
veterans were threatened last
week with criminal action by the
American Legion, Legion officials
here decided to bring the matter
into the courts after observing
that certain supervisors showed no
intent to comply with veteran pre-
ference laws.
The Legion now is preparing a
test case under a provision of the
1912 Veterans Preference Act
which provides that violators shall
be summarily removed from office,
and fined not more than $1,000 or
imprisoned not more than one
year,
cies were given until Wednesday,
October 8 to comply with the
order.
The order is part of the Com-
mission's program to get tough
with agencies which continue to
refuse to replace tempcrary em-
Ployees with permanent people
who have reemployment rights,
The Commission has ordered
that three temporary employees
be fired for each permanent status
employee an agency fails to rehire.
jectives,
President Walters said that the
Association has 11,400 members
and that it expects to increase
this number very materially. He
spoke glowingly to members of the
aid that The LEADER had ren-
dered to Mental Hygiene employ-
ees in their efforts to remedy
abuses and of the value of the
statewide civil service news dis-
seminated promptly and accurate-
ly by The LEADER.

ALBANY, Oct. 13—The report
of the Resolutions Committee of
The Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation follows:
Preliminary study and analysis
Was made of all resolutions sub-
mitted. Committee action was
then had, and advice of Counsel
was requested on many items.
The Committee has approved
for presentation to you, only those
resolutions bearing upon the Gen-
eral Policy of the Association for
tlee coming year, for all of which
we feel the Association can de-
velop legislation which will stand
when introduced for action in the
Legislature. It is not, and would
not, be honest procedure for your
Committee to accept all resolu-
tions, and then be in the position
of introducing “Token Legislation”
which would have no chance of
ever being acted on by the Legis-
lature.
We have had conference with a
number of you to determine the
thought which engendered the sub-
mission of the resolution and in
many instances it has resulted in
a better understanding and the
withdrawal of the resolution or

Reaffirm Association Salary Stand
WHEREAS, the careful techni-
cal analysis by the Association of
the Survey Report of the Salary
Standardization Board shows:
1, failure in general to compare
jobs in the public service
with the jobs in industry;
2. that the samples used were
not properly representative
of positions in the state
service;
that the data collected was
not properly analyzed or in-
terpreted;
that there was and, since the
report was issued, there has
been no general recognition
of the rapid changes in wage
rates in the postwar period,
particularly in the last eigh-
teen months; and
WHEREAS, the general conclu-
sion of the salary analysis was
that the Report would not stand
up to critical analysis, that it
fails to compare like jobs, that
its samples pre frequently inade~
4.
quate, and that its statistical
methods are unsound; and that in
view of its defects no member of
the Legislature, no state employ-
ee and no responsible citizen who
examines the Report can safely
put any faith in its findings,
‘THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLV-
ED, That the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association, through its
duly elected delegates from all
parts of the state, reaffirms the
action taken by the delegates as-
sembled in convention on Febru-
ary 8, 1947 in adoption of a reso-
lution similar to the above, and
further, again charges the officers
of the Association with the re-
sponsibility of publicizing the
truth about the Survey and to
bring its fallacies and failures to
the attention of the Governor, the
Legislature and its committees, to
the Press, and to the people of
the state, and to do everything
in their power to cause to bring
about the necessary changes in
the viewpoint, methods and op-
erations of the Salary Board in
order that a fair Salary Stand-
ard may be established in this
State.

tion urge upon the State Civil

Moore Wins
Song Contest
ALBANY, Oct. 13—One of the
pleasant highlights of the dinner
meeting on Monday night, Octo-
ber 6, of The Givil Service Em-
ployees Association was the judg-
ing in the original song contest
among Association members. The
contest was won by Robert Moore,
State Insurance Fund, NYC office.
The winning lyric, a parody on
If I Had My Way,” earned a $26
war bond for Mr. Moore, which
was accepted for him by Michael
L. Porta, President of the NYC
chapter, The song follows:
dear, forever
“If I had my way.
there'd b
An increase or
salary,
A thousand and one
would do
Just for you, just for you, just for
you.
If I had my way, dear, I'd make
you feel proud
To be state employees each day,
You'd retire without fears
After twenty-five years
If I had my way.”
Other Winners
Honorable mention went to
Stewart Anderson, Treasurer of
the Binghamton chapter, for
lyrics for “When Johnny Comes
Marching Hom George Hayes,
Tax Departmen’ for “Reuben,
Reuben"; Peg O'Connor, Social
Welfare, for “Stardust”, and Hel-
en Sutin and Ida Cole, Social
Welfare, for “There's Long,
Long Trail”
Robert J. Shillinglaw, Public
Works, led the singing of 21 en-
tries in the song-writing contest
at the dinner, with public acclaim
one of the factors in judging. Sev-
eral of the numbers were rendered
by a chorus comprised of Kenneth

nated a committee of interested
members to lay the groundwork
for the ballot on preferences as

ted, They are:
The “3 and 3” system.
Six-8's and 48.
9's and 15's.
A fourth choice is a negative

An explanatory circular is to
accompany the post card ballots,
which will be signed by the mem-!
bers and returned to the UFOA
from the firehouses.
Chief Wittekind also delivered
a report to the Executive Board
of his visit to Fire Commissioner
Frank J. Quayle, accompanied by
Secretary James Quinn of the

NYC Promotion Jobs
To Be Filled Quickly
The jam of NYC examinations
appears finally to be broken, The
NYC Civil Service Commission
will begin certification of eligibles
on the Fire Lieutenant,
Sanitation Foreman and
man eligible lists probably
|
late
this month or early in November.
This action will be possible if
the Veterans Administration com-
pletes within two weeks its share
of the paper work which will be
the basis for granting disabled
veteran preference to eligibles
with zero per cent disability rat-
ings.
Names of all eligibles with zero
per cent disability ratings have
been sent to the VA for reinvesti-
gation. The VA has been asked
to decide whether a disability ex-
ists now and if it is service-con-
nected. Eligibles who meet these
qualifications will be granted dis-
abled veteran preference.
How Lists Now Stand
Such action was decided upon
when the VA and Commission
two weeks ago approved a new
certificate for disabled veteran
preference. The certificate elim-
inates the term “zero per cent
disability,” thus dodging the dis-
pute now in the State Supreme
Court.
The Fire Lieutenant promotion
eligible list already has been pro-
mulgated, but no certifications
have been made. The Assistant
Sanitation Foreman promotion
list has been published. It will be
promulgated as soon as the new
certificates are returned by the

- No Patronage
In Quebec City;
Mayor Glad of |
t
By HERMAN J. BERNARD 7
QUEBEC, P. Q., Canada, Oct. 13. — There are no
patronage jobs in the civil service of the municipality of
Quebec, d Lucien Boine, and there won't be any as
long as he is Mayor, He took pains to emphasize that
he’s not a politician,
He proudly told me that the permanent employees
have security, pensions at two-thirds pay and gocd promo-
tional opportunities,
While he gave the impression that Quebee City was
Well ahead of some American cities and States, and even
the United States government in many civil service matters,
he did admit that he was using outside expert assistance
in checking his new position classification, When I told
him New York City hadn’t had a reclassification in 30
years, he smiled diplomatically. Yet there is much he
admires about the NYC government and its Mayor, Wil-
liam O’Dwyer, whose greetings I brought him, in addition
to an invitation to pay an early visit to NYC, He will,
but not until after October. He has to run for re-election
now. Se is a Conservative. The race against the Liberals
is usually close, but he’s managed to win twice and lacks
no confidence,
| _ How Civil Service Is ‘Administered
| The civil service administration is different in this city
than in the United States, A committee, functioning under
the Director of Services, conducts the examinations. The
head of the department for which the test is held is a
member, so there is a shifting of one member, because
employees oppose city-wide examinations. Open com-
petitive tests are therefore departmental, just as promo-
tion tests are.
“Once you have a job with the municipality of Quebec,
you have real security,” the Mayor told me. “A permanent
employee can’t be dismissed without a two-thirds vote of
the Council.”
_.. ,The Council consists of elected ‘Aldermen, two from a
district—one representing the owners and one the tenants.
“We have a collective convention of employment on
an annual basis, with the Association of Civic Employees,
establishing wages, hours and working conditions,” Mayor
Boine continued. “Each year it is renewed without dif-
ficulty, but if there is any disagreement, it is finally settled
by arbitration. We have no strikes, no threat of strikes
and never expect to have any, either.”
“Civic” employees means municipal workers; “civil”
employees are those who work for the Dominion (federal)
government, Also “collective convention” means contract.
_ ‘The employees have a good measure of participation
in policy matters. They have one of their own ranks
as a member of the Civie Service Committee, The other
members are a public accountant from the “outside,” the
Recorder, who acts as judge, and the department head.
It’s a nice job, running the Canadian showplace and
preserving its Old World charm-with zoning laws. You
can’t change anything on a building within the limits of
the old French walls without a special permit.
_ The Mayor gets $8,000 a year, or $1,000 less than the
Director of Services, but his entertainment expenses are
paid by the city,
Income Tax Doesn't Reach Pensions
The job has its headaches, too. Not as many as Mayor
O'Dwyer has, but they’re real enough. The Police De-
partment and the Fire Brigade pension funds are non-
actuarial, a polite way of saying insolvent, The city will
have to bail out the funds, and the uniformed forces will
probably join the Dominion pension system,

“A recent press release that has
to do with the revocation of cer-
tain forms of insurance policies
for a number of companies, one
of which was the Commercial

N. J,, had nothing to do with the

The inside story of the Social
Investigator eligible list, the ap-
pointment of Chaplains, the cov-
ering-in of employees of private
charities when NYC takes over
and Patrolman exams was told by
Acting President Joseph A. Mc-
Namara in an interview with a
LEADER reporter,
The Social Investigator rating
has ended, Commissioner McNa-
mara asserted, but it will be
weeks be‘ re the list is out. The
Commission had laid off some of
its temporary readers, When the
full force is working, some 30 are
on the job, and he said that
short-answers papers could be
rated with amazing swiftness, and
accurately, too,
A reader can do 140 papers a
day, he added, and with 30 read-
ers the ratings can be completed
at the rate of 4,200 a day, speed
enough for even the largest writ-
ten examinations of that type.
The Commission has approved
the appointment of four Chap-
lains in the Department of Sani-
tation, to be chosen non-competi-
tively, the same as in the Police
and Fire Departments and in the
N. Y¥. City hospitals, All these
are paid by the City, One man’s
objection, that such appointments
violated the principle of separa-
tion of Church and State, was
overruled by the Commission. The
Fire Department has four Chap-
lains, the Police Department six.
The pay is $1,980 to $2,640 for all,
Children’s Center Employees

ing employees of the Children’s
Center, recently taken over by the
city from private charities, Shall

they be covered in? The present
plan, pressed by Commissioner Es-
ther Bromley, is not to cover them
into city employ, because of the
relative recency of their appoint-
ments (four years or less), but
to make them compete in an open-
competitive examination, There
is no firm and final stand yet
on the part of the Commission
as a whole, but Mrs, Bromley
seems to be on the way to suc-
ceed,
‘The question is of more import-
ance than appears from the fact
that the Children’s Center has
relatively few employees Its Child
Counsellors may be covered into
the non-competitive class, but the
others not. However, Youth House,
on East 12th Street, and the
Children's Camp, on Welfare
Island, may be similarly taken
over by the city. The pattern of
covering-in or not, applied to the
Youth Center, would be expected
to obtain in ths other instances,
if the acquisitions take place.
Those jobs not covered in would
be put in the competitive class.
Mr, McNamara visited ma-
chine shops of the Board of
Transportation, where practical
tests are being given in the Main-
tainers’ exams, and was much im-
pressed with the scope and quality
of the work which these shops
perform.
