ts the tests which will be included in the commission’s January
ries, though it stated that the schedule is still tentative.
Complete requirements for these exams will be announced soon, are reannouncements from previous series.

tate Employees Face Hatch Act
Senator Hatch, author of the act bearing his name, which curbs political activities of gov-
ernment employees, plans to introduce an amendment extending its provisions to State
employees working in agencies supported in part by federal funds. Many New York State
workers will be affected. Details in “On the U.S. Civil Service Front,” page 6.
A number of the tests are being held to establish lists for posi-
tions in the Independent-City Owned Subway System. Nearly 2,000
positions are expected to be filled from these exams and others for

Uncover U. S. Job-Selling Racket
Files of the U. S. Civil Service Commission reveal a neat racket
which helps candidates to be placed in federal jobs before persons
ahead of them on eligible lists, The crux of the matter is for
pressure to be applied to the higher eligible so that he will with-
draw, thus allowing the lower candidate to take the job, At times
even bribery has been used to push the “withdrawal.” The com-
mission watches it all with an eagle eye so as to protect those
who finish high on Civil Service lists. Full details, page 2,

that because of three adverse
court decisions—in the Wexler,

A New Year’s Wish
HE staff of The Leader looks back on this
year with a feeling of profound gratitude
to the thousands of people all over the State
who have given us support and encouragement.
We could never have succeeded so well without
this cooperation and help,
As 1940 begins, we say again, as we said
in our first issue: ‘We have no axe to
grind, political or otherwise. We are tied
to no organization, And in all matters,
we will try to be fair and impartial.
To all our readers we extend our sincerest
thanks, and the hope that 1940 is a most happy
and prosperous one for them,
A Year of Progress
Ts, throughout much of the
world in 1939 were calamitous and grim
destroying lives, property, governments and
the ideals of progressive public administration
of states and nations—in the United States, i
may be said with confidence, important
were achieved,
Civil Service profited greatly. Not only
has the service expanded, but the merit
system philosophy has spread, and in the
city, State and federal branches of govern-
ment, important strides have been made.
For example, in New York City the com-
petitive class was increased until today 108,000
employees are in that category, Only 500 re-
main in the exempt 5,000” (mostly
nurses) in the non-competitive class, and 7,000
in the labor ¢ 5
Standout achievement of the year was the
transfer of 12,000 Sanitation jobs from the
labor to-the competitive class, and the begin-
ning of the first competitive exam ever held for
these positions,
‘There were other achievements, Progressive
and successful examinations brought thou
sands of able applicants for city jobs, During
the year an ambitious in-service training pro:
gram was developed; the first experiment in
joint city-State tests was tried, paving the way
for a permanent policy, ‘There were other
marks of progress, af course, and some mis-
takes as well, But by and large, Civil Service
in New York City moved forward.
In the State, in-service training for em-
ployees was started. A commission named
by the Governor, and headed by Assembly-
man Emerson D. Fite, began the system-
atic study of methods to extend the Civil
Service rules to nearly 200,000 employees
of cities, towns, villages, and other juris-
dictions, The successful culmination of
this job promises to be one of 1940's high-
lights. In addition, another group ap-
pointed by Governor Lehman, and headed
by Miss Grace A, Reavy, president of the
State Civil Service Dept., has tackled the
job of transferring thousands of State em-
ployees from the non-competitive to the
competitive class,
On the U.S, Civil Service nt, the year
produced many gains, An executive order from
the President brought 000 new positions
under the classified (or competitive) service,
Meantime, the powerful Reed Committee was
formed to improve the whole U, S. Civil Sery
ice; the Hatch law, prohibiting political ac
tivity of federal office-holders, was enacted,
During the whole year, Civil Service
grew in popularity. At the same time, the
number of employees in all branches of
government increased, and in most cases,
reached an all-time high.
‘The year, indeed, was a good one for the
merit system. And 1940\promises to be even
Deiter.
events
letters
and who remain
according to the
Sir; State employees, who are covered by the Feld-Hamilton Act
uch until they receive their maximum salaries
hedules, suffered five suspensions of increments
and not the one suspension which was declared by the Legislature
last. session.
Strange as it sounds, it is a
truth. It is more surprising
when we look back and remem-
ber that no such argument was
forthcoming from State employees
when the threat arose, The State
economized by about $5,000,000 and
not the $1,000,000 figure so popularly
declared,
When we consider that the average
difference in time between the mini-
mum and maximum salaries for most
employees is five years, and that the
majority have that much more to go
before they arrive at the maximum,
and that during each year henceforth
for the next five years each employee

cannot escape that conclusion, Each
employee, on the average, will stand
to lose five times the amount sus-
pended, providing he remains in the
service,
It would have been far better to
receive the increment and pay back
a certain percentage of the salary to
enrich the State treasury by $1,000,-
000, which claimed to be sorely
needed, However, that was not done,
and it is important that the State
employee be brought to the realiza-
tion of what actually occurred so
that no such action ean be practiced
in the future, ‘The loss to each indi-
vidual is more than trivial
It may be that a good many of the
legislators, who voted for the suspen-
sion, never intended so drastic a cut.

Flat Feet
noticed in The Leader the
“The city commission |
long ago ruled that flat feet are not |
necessarily unsound feet and hence
do not disqualify,” I have long de-
nied myself opportunities to compete
in Fire and Police exams because of
flat feet. |
This ent in The Leader
sounds encouraging, but I would
like a little more information on the
subject. In my case, the flat feet
were inherited. My father, brother
and myself have them, Some in-
heritance, eh what? The feet have
never bothered me. I've played
semi-pro baseball and basketball and
never had any trouble with them,
My college medical card reads “sec-
ond degree flat feet.”
It apparently isn't my fault that
T have flat puppies, yet I was led to
believe this would disqualify me.
Furthermore, I don't walk like a
flatfoot. A. P,
Ed. note: the Civil Service
Commission reports that for
many years, rejections for flat
feet have been extremely limited.
Mere flatfootedness does not dis-
qualify. There must be some im-
pairment or disability present to
cause a candidate's rejection,

MERIT MEN
Cost of State Economy?
LEO GEORGE
“.,.The Postmaster General became heartily
sick of seeing me...”
Ix a 14-room office, behind one of the heayjey
laden desks in Washington, a bespectacieg
soft-spoken man of 50, named Leo E, George.
directs the destiny of one of the largest proups
of federal employees—the National Federation
of Post Office Clerks.
Today his union supports a comfortabje
Washington office with some 22 employees, anq
counts a compact membership of 48,000.
Fired for Union Work
In his day George has seen government |abor
organizations change and grow immensely, |
Back in 1920 he was one of 11 Clerks fired from
the Chicago Post Office on orders of Postiaster
General Albert Sidney Burleson, They \
charged with belonging to a union, and, more. |
over, with having asked for higher salaries
They were reinstated in 1921 by Burleson's
successor, Postmaster General Hayes,
George entered the federal service in 1906,
the year the six-year-old organization of postal
clerks affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, It was the first group consisting ex-
clusively of government employees ever to
affiliate with a national union.
The young organization's first big battle, and
perhaps the one which has meant more than
any other, was the passage of the Lioyd-
LaFollette Anti-Gag Law in 1912.
T. R. Barred Unions
In 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt pro-
hibited federal workers from petitioning Con-
gress for salary increases, barring specifically
any representation by employee organizations.
T. R, amplified this in 1906, and President
Taft extended it in 1909 by forbidding «m-
ployees even to supply information to Congress,
The Lloyd-LaFollette Act was the answer, lt
guarantees the right of petition.
During his years as head of the N.FP.OC.
George has succeeded three times in liberalizing
the law on retirement for Postal Clerks; and,
among other things, has achieved higher sala-
ries; a five-day, 44-hour week; a wage differel-
tial for night work; higher rates for overtime)
liberalization of sick leave and injury compel
sation; and recognition of the seniority prii-
ciple in promotions,
Even more important, George and the wien
have made the merit system “stick” in the
Postal service.
Today George's job is largely that of a wa!
dog of the merit system. He must make
that whenever, in an obscure office in the
the spoils system tries a comeback and *
tronage appointee bids to steal the job !r0m
meritorious employee, the effort is stopped.
Clashed With New
George's relations with the Post Office Dé
partment are cordial these days, And only 0"¢
did he run into difficulties. A
“I found out that Postmaster Genera! Ne
(in President Coolidge’s Cabinet) had issité
orders that no one but himself was to speak !@
me or other officers of the union, All request
for interviews were referred to him.
“There was only one thing to do,
camping on his doorstep, not once a day
often two or three times.
“Pretty soon the Postmaster General decal
heartily sick of seeing me. He began to bag
me off’ to other officials. After a while zs
order was conveniently forgotten, We've ”*
had any trouble since.”
George's job is hard and time-cons!!
But he likes it, “I've been doing it fo
and I guess that’s about all I have time ‘°! as

Teachers Guild
Seeks State Aid
In 1940 Demands
A five-point legislative pro-
gram, flanked by six “minor”
recommendations, was _ set
forth this week by the New
York Teachers’ Guild as its
minimum demands for edu-
cation in New York State
during the coming year.
The program
1, Legislation
immediate restoration
State aid.
2, Legislation preventing dis-
missal of satisfactory kindergar-
ten teachers or any satisfactory,
r@gularly appointed teachers, li-
al assistants, lab-
oratory ants, and shop
maintenance men.
3. Legislation making tenure
@ contractual obligation.
4. Support of legislation to
place unsound city pension sys-
tems on an actuarial basis by
July 1, 1940, with protection to
rights of present incumbents,
5. Repeal of the Coudert-
Goldberg dual-job law.
The minor program has the
following planks:
1. Opposition to any attempt
to interfere with the rights of
married women,
2. Opposition to efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce and other
groups seeking to violate separa-
tion of state and church.
3. Legislation to extend the
right of teachers to appeal to the
courts and to grant them certain
rights when summoned before
the Board of Superintendents—
statement of charges, copy of
minutes, right of counsel.
4, Ratification of Child Labor
amendment.
5. Opposition to legislation
undermining the merit system.
6. Opposition to waste or un-
sound expenditures of public
funds.

Deficiency Funds
Asked by Union
A deficiency appropriation
to cover either all or part of
the funds eliminated from
State aid to schools in the
1939-40 budget was urged by
the New York State Federa-
tion of Teachers Union this
week in a letter to Governor
Lehman.
Expressing confidence that
Lehman will fight for full
State aid in the coming
budget, the letter continued:
“As we tabulate the effects
of the cut in State aid upon
the schools for the fiscal
year, 1939-1940, we find that
even if full State aid were to
be restored by July 1, 1940,
the effect of the loss of funds
for the preceding year will
have left permanent scars on
the educational system.”
22 Are Licensed
For Junior Highs
Twenty-two licenses to
teach eight different subjects
in the junior high schools

To Need Degree
Under Rule Change
Additional opportunities for
college graduates came from
an unexpected source this
week, when Dr. Harold G.
Campbell, Superintendent of
School, announced that stiff
requirements will be recom-
mended for all applicants for
attendance officers.
The Board of Education will
vote upon the changes to the by-
laws at an early meeting, possibly
when it reconvenes next month
following the Christmas recess.
In accordance with Civil Ser-
vice procedure, present members
of the city’s force of 350 attend-
ance officers will not only remain
in their positions, but will be
given promotion opportunities
witnout meeting the new require-
ments, Vacancies, however, will
be filled by candidates fulfilling
severe qualifications.
These new regulations call for
a college degree, with courses in
child development, behavior
problems, social case work, and
laws of child welfare and com-
pulsory education. Present qual-
ifications merely include a high
school diploma and eight semes-
ter hours in special work.
Assistant attendance officers
will have to show two years’ col-
lege study, with sociology courses
included. Supervisors of districts
will face the additional require-
ment of a year’s work beyond the
college degree,
17 Given Status

Fifteen women and two men
have received licenses to teach
Music in the junior high schools,
according to an announcement

iners. Mildred R, Landecker, 64

By CHARLES SULLIVAN ————_

OX
selves, according to an exhaustive bulletin on the subjeq
issued last week by the U. S. Civil Service Commissio;,
$———
The pamphlet, issued in antici-
pation of the 1940 election, is the
first revision in three years of the
commission's regulations and rulings.
Containing, as it does, the added pro-
hibitions of the Hatch Act, it is the
most stringent and far-reaching ban
against political activity by Govern-
ment employees ever to be issued in
this country.
Can’t March in Parade
Besides the general prohibition
against political activity —running
for office, holding office, campaign-
ing, soliciting funds, helping get out
the votes or exerting the influence of
a Government position—the docu-
ment includes detailed injunctions
against even giving a friend a lift in
an auto to the polls, or being politi-
cally active through a wife or hus-
band.
Civil Service employees are for-
bidden to express their opinions on
political matters in letters to a news-
paper, to march in a political parade,
bet on an election, or even take an
active part in campaigns “concerning
the regulation or suppression of the
liquor traffic.”
By implication, indeed, the Wom-
en's Christian Temperance Union is
seen by the commission as a political
organization.
Party Contribution OK
A federal employee, classified or
not, may not solicit, receive, “or be
in any manner concerned in soliciting
or receiving” political assessments.
He may, however, make a voluntary
contribution to a political party, but
is expressly forbidden to contribute
to the person or fund of any candi-
date for elective office.
The effect of the Hatch Act, in gen-
eral, is to extend to the non-classified
employee almost all the prohibitions
that already applied to his Civil Ser-
vice brother, About the only differ-
ence, as far as political activity is
concerned, is that the Civil Service
employee may express his opinion on
a political matter only privately; the
non-classified employee may speak
his mind in public. Even he, how-
ever, may not do so as part of an
organized political campaign,
No federal employee below policy-
determining rank may take active
part in political conventions or polit-
ical clubs, He may be a member of
the latter, or attend the former, but
may not hold office or take an active
role in the conduct of affairs, At pri-
—<
mary and regular elections he mig
avoid “offensive activity.” He mq
not hand out cigars, help markt,
lots or act as election offici
can vote, and that's about a]

May Extend Rules
There is a high degree ot
ability that these stringent ;
tions will be extended within «
months to State employees w!
for agencies that spend or adminjy
ter federal funds.
More State agencies are in thiy
category than one might think. sy
road administrations, public «
ance and unemployment comp

sities, for instance.
Extension of the federal bor
these State employees—not«
more active politically than
workers—is expected to be

Of supreme importance to candidates for Sanitation Man is the phy-
sical test, which will count 100 percent in the final rating. Qualify-
ing written and medical tests must be passed first.
Candidates are warned in advance to train themselves to pass such
tests as lifting a 45-pound weight in each hand (80 pounds in one hand
and 75 pounds in the other will score 100 percent); lifting a 20-pound
weight held behind the head, from a position lying flat on their backs
(50 pounds for 100 percent); running 100 yards while carrying «
weight; and competing in a barrel lift.
To test their agility, the candidates may be called on to do the fol-
lowing consecutively: run 10 yards, jump nine feet, run 10 yards, jump
a three-foot hurdle, run 10 yards, scale a 7!-foot perpendicular fence,
go five yards hanging by the hands from a horizontal ladder without
missing a rung, 1 ladder, run five yards, vault over
a four-foot obstacle, and run five yards to the finish line.
The test, which will be given next Spring, will be patterned after
that given last Spring to police candidates.

On Pension System
In the face of a strong de-
nunelation by the Merchants
Assn., supporters of the police-
fire pension settlement prepared
this week for a final conference
before a bill embracing the 5-6
percent system is introduced into
the City Council.
It is understood that the
bill-drafting committee, headed
by Council vice-chairman John
Jashmore, has just about finished
its work, Within the next few
days, representatives of the Po-
lice and Fire departments will
hold a last-minute conference
with Mayor La Guardia. The
Council will get the bill, probably
early 1940 session,
The Merchants Assn. main-
tained that the proposed settle-
ment offers no relief to the tax-
payers, and announced that it
would again support the Bab-
cock-Seelye bill. Postponed last
session, this bill would put pen-
sion systems throughout the
State on actuarial sound bases.
Last year, Mayor La Guardia
joined representatives of the Po-
lice and Fire departments in
fighting the bill. This year they
will be urging an, amendment
eliminating the two departments
from the bill's provisions, basing
their plea on the claim that they
have “set their house in order.”

Service Reform League in its*
annual council report just
issued.
Stating that the Ramspeck Bill “is
the only practical plan for the ex-
tension of the classified service which
has been endorsed by the platform
of both the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties,” the report declared
that “its adoption will prove a boon
to both parties in relieving them of
the pressure of patronage claims
which neither party can ever hope to
satisfy.”
‘The need to extend the Civil Serv-
ice is shown, the report declared, by
the 16 percent increase in the num-
ber of public employees in the past
six years and the 25 percent payroll
increase.
The League commended Congress
for the passage of the Hatch Act and
the amendments to the Social Se-
curity Act which sought to reduce
political activity in federal and State
administrative uni
Among the setbacks to Civil Serv-
e during the past year, the report
listed; 1) the failure of the President
to recommend to the Census Bureau
that it make no appointments “with-
out ard to the merit system”;
2) the failure of Congress to provide
{ additional funds for the
of Civil Service in
administration”
Los Angeles and the State of Colo-
do, and the repeal of the Civil
Service law in Arkansas.
‘The League report urged that 3,000
attorney positions, now exempt from
Civil Service rules, be placed on a
met is. It challenged the “pop-
ular fallacies” that the nature of at-
torney positions makes political ap-
pointments necessary, It sought the
cooperation of the President's Com-
mittee on Civil Service Improve-
ment, leaders of the bar and the Civil
Service Commission in developing an
“effective means of selecting attor-
neys which will eliminate personal
favoritism.

Firemen’s Association. For 10
years Kane and his association
have worked to speed the day when
firemen would work straight eight-
hour shifts and the force would be
expanded enough to provide ample
protection for a city of 7,000,000.
As a result of the completion of

City’s Fire Department is rated the
in the world; it has gained a

Vincent J. Kane was elected presi-
dent of the Uniformed Firemen's As-

the struggle for the eight-hour day.

islature approved the system and
submitted it for a referendum vote.
The people approved the three-
platoon system in 1936, and provided
that at midnight, December 31, 1939,
it should go into full force.
In the last three years new Fire-
men gradually have been added, un-
til today 4,000 more are on the force.
The final victory for the three-

a ball in Madison Square Garden by
