whether or not a new election

State Civil Service Commission,
has expired as of February 1. He
is now automatically continuing
in office until he is re-appointed
or a successor designated. Every-
thing in abeyance until the 5-man

With Salary Freeze Achieved, Employees Assn. Move,
To Make Gains in Work Hours, Overtime, Retiremen}

ALBANY, Feb. 7—With major
portions of its program already
achieved or in process of achieve-
ment, the Ciyil Service Employees
Association this weck concentrated
on the task of getting the remaind-
er of its program activated.

The Association has already
drafted bills covering most of its
program, which had been initiated
at a State-wide meeting of em-
ployee delegates last October, In
addition to its own bills, the or-
ganization issupporting othe

Below is a report of legislation
affecting public employees, both

1, BONUS INCORPORATED
BASIC PAY — ALL EMPLOY:

IN
Ss

As part of an agreement reached
with the administration at a ser-
ies of conferences, it was _an-
nounced in the Governor's Bud-
get M » and in the press that
the administration, this ye
would support legislation to in-
corporate the present, emergency

bonus in basic pay. The details
of the entire agreement were set
out in an Association bulletin
dated January 31, 1949

Some of our members have
pointed out with apprehension
that, while the Budget Message
does recommend legislative action
on the bonus incorporation at the
present session, the effective date
of such legislation would be April |
1, 1950.

The Executive Budget is pre-
pared and printed long in ad-
vance of the date upon which it
is submitted and, in fact, had
been printed before the admin-
istration agreed with us to in-
corporate the bonus in the basic
scales. The agreement therefore
presented an extremely difficult
technical problem, particularly be-
cause the budget, as printed, car-
ries the present basic les on
line items for positions allocated
to the items. Re-printing the en-
tire budget was physically im-
possible because the Constitution
requires, in Article 7, subdivision
2, that the budget be submitted
on or before the Ist day of Feb-
ruary each year. Our agreement
was not finally consummated un-
til January 28, 1949.

We are now engaged, with the
administration, in drafting the}

essary legislation, Every mem-

in order to live, but should be
able to do as the word means,

his labor.”

Mr. Swartwood also urged that

Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

President, The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association, Inc., and Member
of Employees’ Merit Award Board.

T. B HAZARD AND T. B. SERVICE PAY

‘HE State has long recognized that unusual hazard is

an element to be considered in fixing pay scales. Until
last year a certain percent of the base salary was added
to the pay of certain employees in the Mental Hygiene and
T. B. Hospitals, where hazard was most in evidence.

The difficulties in accurately measuring degrees of
hazard, the general dissatisfaction of those who did not
receive the extra compensation, or who received a lesser
percentage of extra compensation, or no extra compensa-
tion for hazardous work, led the Director of the Budget
to a decision to abandon the plan, Extra percentage
compensation for extra hazardous or extra arduous work
was declared “out’’.

It was, however, agreed that a classification study
should be made to examine again those positions which
were presumed to involve extra hazard, to set up dis-
tinguishing titles for such positions and to refer these
titles to the Salary Board for study as to the need for
salary reallocations to higher salary grades,

It was further agreed that subject to some minor
limitations, all employees presently receiving this extra
compensation, or more than a nominal amount, should
continue to receive that amount as part of their base
salary, which was accordingly increased by that extent,

The first reclassifications and reallocations have been
completed and announced. In general, the increase in
compensation resulting from the upward reallocation is
as large or larger than the former extra compensation,
Employees who last year had their extra compensation
frozen into their base salary and who have not yet been
reclassified and reallocated, will continue to receive a
total salary that includes the amount formerly received
as hazardous or arduous pay. They will lose nothing
this year or in any subsequent year because of the pay
freeze,

Not Eligible for Extra Pay

New employees who now are not eligible to any extra
pay for hazardous employment will in the future be
eligible to larger salaries if they bear a distinguishing
title indicating T. B. Service.

It is my understanding that only a beginning has been
made in the study, classification and salary of the jobs
where the hazard is high, There is, as I understand the
situation, no intention to go back on the decisions of last
year, The intention is to go forward to complete those
decisions,

No doubt the employees are right in pointing out lim-
itations and unfair treatment that exist at this time.

Many of the most hazardous jobs receive no recogni-
tion and have had no upgrading,

Differentiation between individuals holding similar
titles and performing similar work is peculiarly difficult,
and in small institutions where work cannot be rigidly
departmentalized, it is not possible to separate the sheep
from the goats,

Probably the unanimous opinion of all most directly
concerned is right as to the high and universal danger
of infection in the T, B. Hospitals,

The Association will be glad to do all it can to help
in finding the right answers to this problem.

ALBANY, Feb, 7—The Rev. Wil-

State Labor Relations Board, per-
sonally went to bat for 25 of his
attorneys when they appealed for
better salaries. The Salary Stand-

down, however, as reported in

on behalf of the attorneys to-
gether with Father Kelley was
William F. McDonough, executive
representative of The Civil Service
Employees Association.

Board's Opinion

In turning down the appeal,
the Salary Board gave as iis
reason:

“Tt is the opinion of this Board
that your present salary grade,
supplemented by the emergency
compensation now in effect, com:
pares favorably with other posi-
tions in State service and bears
proper relationship to salaries paid
by other employers for similar
work,”

Metropolitan Chapter
Armory Employees

State Armory employees in the
New York area, meeting at the
105th Field Artillery in The Bronx,
expressed interest in a number of
bills before the State Legislature.

Near the top of the measures
they would like to see passed is
the 55-year retirement bill.

They also seek an increase in
death benefits, and feel that this
measure would have special ap-
plication to Armory workers, be-
cause when they were transferred
from the City to the State of New
York, the complications were such
that their beneficiaries will lose
the retirement allowances of six
months pay.

Armory employees have been
interviewed by the Classification
Board, and are now awaiting the
results. The group has asked The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion to sponsor a bill altering
the titles of Armory employees
so that those titles will be more
in line with the duties actually
performed. They want to be re-
moved from the jurisdiction of
the Military Law, and given the
same rights and privileges enjoyed
by other competitive employees.
‘They seek titles like “guard” or
“attendant.”

The chapter is interested in a
special sick leave and vacation
bill, improving their condition in
these respects,

‘The members went on record in
support of the Mitchell vet pref-
erence bill, and suggested that all
Armory employees get behind the
measure,

At the Southern Conference
meeting, held on FeFbruary 5, the
following men represented the
Metropolitan Armory employees:
Henry Clarke, chapter vice-presi-
dent, and Frank E, Wallace, exec-
utive secretary.

West 27th Street, NYC, Thursday!

ROCHESTER, Feb. 7—It was a
smoothly -functioning meeting,
with the ideas of employees in
the western part of the State,
their needs and hopes, given a
hearing. The Western Confer-
ence of the Civil Service Employees
Association was in session, in the
Hotel Rochester, on Saturday,
Jan. 29. Staccato-voiced Robert
R. Hopkins, its chairman, pre-
sided. J. Allyn Stearns, genial
4th vice-president of the Associa-
tion, came up from Westchester
to tell the State people about
their relations with county and
local employees. Earl Kelly, State
Classification Director, came up
from Albany to explain the in-
tricacies of his work. Maxwell
Lehman, editor of The LEADER,
came up from New York City to
talk about attacks on the merit
system, and what could be done
to stem them, State Senator
George T. Manning told of his
interest in a better deal for re-
tired employees.

Reports

There were committee reports,
from members of the Conference,
on the plight of part-time workers,
on legislation, on insurance, on
changes in the Conference con-
stitution, Jerry Zugelder, of
Rochester State Hospital, made a
report; Joe Crotty, of the Public
Works. Department and Harry
Schwartz of Mental Hygiene, made
reports. Raymond Munroe, hard-
; working head of the Rochester
chapter, told the assemblage in
the warmest terms of his joy at
the success of the event.

In Unity, Strength

Mr. Stearns’ theme was: “In
unity there is strength.” He went
into the history of relationships
between State and county em-
ployees, admitted frankly that the
original tie was not without some
apprehension among certain State
people. The county employees
were seeking guidance, he pointed
out, and they might look for im-
provement in many of their con-
ditions from the tie with State
workers, in such matters as re-
tirement.

Power of Organization

He told the assemblage of the
power of organization at the local
lével, detailing how Westchester,
Schenectady, Chemung and cer-
tain other counties had made
major gains after organizing the
employees. He dwelt with em-
phasis on Westchester, explain-
ing the forward-looking policies
which have placed employees in
that county far ahead of others.

What the Counties Offer

“We of the counties gain from
our association with you of the
State,” he pointed out. “But we
offer you a lot, too. We offer our
excellent local contacts with legis-

“We're all
he declared,
of interest.”
Why He's in It
Stearns told of the motivation
behind his own interest in the
work,
“I've been interested in organ-
ization. I react against trespass on
the rights of individual: And
I want to see us strong so that
our civil rights may be secure.
That is how I think, and that is
something I want to work for.”
What's Classification?
Mr. Kelly set out to describe
what the word classification means.
“It is a grouping together of like
things,” he explained. ‘The gro-
cer will put all the cans of to-
matoes together, all the peaches
together. He not only does that,
but puts them together by brand.
Classification is a grouping to-
gether of positions that are so
alike in their duties, their re-
sponsibilities and also in their
rates of pay, that you can know
them by one title. Therefore you
can adopt standard recruitment.”
He explained the benefits of
classification to the employee, and
told of the mess in which em-
ployees often found themselves
before classification was intro-
duced into the State service. He
indicated the barriers that often
arose when persons felt they

Mr. Kelly told about the huge
job his division does, sometimes
classifying more than 5,000 new

Lehman on Merit System

Mr. Lehman gave instances of
the manner in which the merit
system is being systematically un-
dermined. He cited such instances
as the rise in exempt jobs, the
failure to classify Correction De-

Political pressures, timidity in civil
service commissions. He pointed
to the need for a “watch-dog” at-

THE WEEK'S HONOR ROLL

To Paul Fitzpatrick, head of the Democratic State

BECAUSE, although a politician with a politician’s

more than any other single measure will help preserve the

No. It was on the basis of a single letter, from a former

a State-wide smear upon public employees.

Wi ont Repeat This

(Continued from Page 1)
ent situation, the Condon bill no
longer has a chance,

Reasons:

1, The “good politics” of the
controversial situation lie with
the Mitchell bill.

2. The moral and human argu-
ments lie with the Mitchell bill.

3. It is demonstrable that the
needs of properly functioning gov-
ernment cannot be met through
the Condon measure, but .only
the Mitchell one.

4, The State Legislature is not
yet ready to make hash of civil
service.

5. Most of the people involved,
yeteran and non-veterans, want
the Mitchell bill.

Right and Necessary
The politician who must vote
on Mitchell vs. Condon sees the
issue now, more clearly than he
did Jast year, this way: the Mit-
chell bill appears right, necessary,
‘and even good politics, As a man
with some responsibility to the
State and to his community, he
cannot abdicate his judgment.
The Republicans

The hard facts are these: aides
of Governor Dewey are quietly
working for passage of the Mit~
chell bill. Advocates of efficiency
in government, they have seen the
facts presented to them by high
departmental officials, showing
how the present vet preference
law has operated to the detriment
of efficiency. TheCondon bill con-
geals the very defects of the pre:
ent law which are causing ope!
ating officials to tear their hair
in frustration.

Phe Democrats
Politicians of the Democratic
Party, ears close to, the ground,
have felt'the impact, of public sen-
timent; and the groundswell of the
almost fanatical Mitchell senti-
ments is not lost on them. They
too, and quietly too, are prepar-
ing to vote for the Mitchell bill.
Don't Repeat This cannot now
name names, although it knows
them; but this column can report
that some of the highest of Dem-
ocratic authorities in the State
are now convinced that the Mit-

to suppor and they, together
with the lesser politicos of their
party will support it,

A straw showing the way the
political wing is blowing was the
incisive endorsement of the Mit-
chell bill made over the weeken'
by Assemblyman George W. Foy
of Albany, member of the power-
ful Rules Committee. (The state-
ment appears elsewhere in The
LEADER.) The Foy words rep-
resent the thinking of many of
his colleagues, and was not made
without careful thought given to
all the political factors.

Thus, beneath the controversy
raging around the veteran pref-
erence issue is a paradoxical calm,
an unusual amount of unanimity
between the two parties. This
calm, this unanimity, may be
hidden for the moment, but when
the time comes to vote it will be
made evident, At this moment the
Condon adherents cannot corral
sufficient support to appear im-
pressive. They might yet do it,
but the likelihood is slim,

Who's for Mitchell Bill?
The legislators are aware of the
mathematics of support, the
counting of heads,

Item; All major civil service
employee organizations who have
taken a stand are on record for
the Mitchell bill,

Item; 19 civic and good govern-
ment organizations are on record
for the Mitchell bill.

Item: Several veteran organiza-
tions, and a number of posts of
the American Legion (including
Post 930, the largest) officially
favor the Mitchell bill,

Item: A survey of its readers
by the New York World+Telegram
brought this result: 44 to 1 in
favor of the Mitchell bill.

Item: A ballotting of its read~
ers by the Civil Service LEADER,
State-wide, shows them, so far,
better than 20 to 1 for the Mit-
chell bill,

Who's for Condon Bill?

And for the Condon bill? A
split and rent American Legion,
Whose executive board repudiated
the findings of its own subcom-
mittee set up to examine into
veteran preference. That com-
mittee, consisting of six prominent
legionnaires, submitted its find-
ings: 5 men for the Mitchell bill;
only one for the Condon measure,
The subcommittee on preference

had heard veterans testify, had

heard them say they would be ir-
revocably injured if the Condon
measure should become law; had
heard more veterans — Legion
members — testify for the Mit-
chell than for the Condon bill.
And that committee, with courage,
suggested that the Legion alter its
stand, and throw in with those
supporting the Mitchell bill.
Scheiberling

One member of that committee
was Edward Scheiberling, He did
not appear at its final meeting,
Scheiberling is a formidable and
persuasive personality, and he was
able to swing the Legion's execu-
tive board his way, causing them
to accept his own minority in-
terpretation as more valid than
that of his five colleagues,

Scheiberling has much power
in Albany. He is liked and re-
spected by many liegislators, But
the truculence of his stand cannot
wipe out in the eyes of the Legis-
lature that hé is nevertheless one
man; that he has not a united
Legion behind him; that the
strength of Legion support and
sponsorship last year has not
fixed a determination in legion-
naires to accept the Condon bill;
that Legion posts have openly de-
fied the official Scheiberling stand.
The legislators know that on this
issue the Scheiberling approach
is palpably a hollow one, and
cannot claim the clean, sincere
support of a united body of le-
gionnaires,

Knowing this, the legislators
equate the potent Mr. Scheiber-
ling against the support of other
legionnaires, of certain leaders of
Veterans of Foreign Wars, of the
Jewish War Veterans, the Ameri-
can Veterans Committee, and
other veteran units, They add in
the scales against Mr. Scheiber-
ling all the other support that
has gone for the Mitchell bill,
and the intensity of that support, |

and the strength of the arguments
behind it,
Agaist this array Mr. Scheiber-

ling, for all his potency, cannot

stand,
At the Polls

Another significant fact; Ex~-
perience shows that the Condon
bill would have grave difficulty if
it ever got to the polls, Whichever
amendment wins must go to the
people in a referendum, In 1945—
much closer to the war—the pres-
ent vet preference amendment
won by only a slim margin, We
are farther from the war today;
and it would be infinitely difficult,
probably impossible, to pass a
measure like the Condon bill at
the polls—a measure which
would be publicized as hurting the
chances of non-disabled veterans,
women, young people desiring to
enter the government, and those
now in the civil service. A fair
measure like the Mitchell bill—
which gives a point advantage to
disabled and non-disabled veter-
ans, at the same time leaving hope
for appointment and advancement
to the non-veteran, would meet al-
most no opposition at the polls,

Assemblyman
Foy Cites Case
For Mitchell Bill

ALBANY, Feb. 7—State Assem-
blyman George W. Foy of Albany
this week announced his un-
qualified support of the Mitchell
veteran preference bill. His state-
ment followed a cascading of legis.
lative endorsement for this bill,
which appears to be assuming
“bandwagon” proportions. Mr,
Foy declared:

“I intend to support the Mit-
chell amendment because I be-
lieve it is clearly the better of
the two proposals. It provides
for more equitable preference for

Its adoption would end for all
time the constantly recurring
controversy concerning veteran
preference in civil service. I be-
Meve that the other members of
the legislative delegation from
Albany County will also support
the Mitchell measure.”

The Albany delegation includes
Assemblyman Peter J. D’Alessan-
dro, a Congressional Medal of
Honor winner.

For Postal Substitutes

The United National Associa-
tion of Post Office Clerks has re-
newed its efforts to remedy the
unrest among Substitute and
Temporary employees at the New
York, N. Y, post office, The un-
rest resulted from a department
order, issued nationally, restrict-
ing rates to those of the final
quarter of last year, even though
the receipts of the New York,
N. Y. post office exceeded those
of any previous year.

Foremost on the UNAPOCS leg-
islative program for the past
decade has been the elimination
of Substitutes. The aim is to have
every clerk appointed as a Regu~-
Jar, and thus abolish the Sub-

stitute system. A bill to eliminate
the Substitute system will be in-
troduced in Congress on behalf
of UNAPOC, It will conform to
a resolution adopted at the last
national convention

At the instance of Andrew 'T.
Walker, president of Branch 1,
William C, Ambrust, the natjonal
president, and others, national
officers conferred with post office
officials on problems of the New
York, N. ¥. post office. They were
sured of every possible con-
sideration.

The efforts of the national and
local organizations of UNAPOC
are continuing, in the hope ef
obtaining @ solution at any early
date.

| SIDELIGHTS

When Bruce Bromley, distin-
guished lawyer, was appointed by
Governor Dewey to the Court of
Appeals, there was speculation at
the NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion, where Judge Bromley’s wife
is the minority (Rep.) Commis-
sioner. The Commission has been
doing only fairly well, regarding
cases against it, appealed to that
court. The appointment sounded
like getting a friend at court, the
hard way. But with a member
of his family on the Commission,
Judge Bromley would be dis-
qualified from hearing Commis-
sion cases and, besides, wouldn't
do it even if the rules allowed.
Either a six-man court would sit
or, in a pinch, an Appellate Di-
vision Justice would be assigned
as Court of Appeals Judge, to re-
place him, for one case.

Right to Trial
Of PBA Election

(Continued from Page 1)

ed by Mr, Donovan in sup-
port of hi a that an early trial
of his chi be held, since if he
wins his case the one-year tenure
might remain unchanged.

‘What Appellate Court Held

The Appellate Division in a
memorandum said:

“Order appealed from unanim-
ously reversed and proceeding re~
d to trial before an official

sferee, on the ground that the
petition indicates that there may
have been irregularities in con-
nection with the election,

“Though allegations involving
these claims huve been denied by
the respondents, the issues thus
raised should haye been tried,
(See matter of Workmen's Bene~
fit Fund 265 App. Div, 176).”

Donovan's Charges Listed

The charges made by Patrol-
man Donovan, as presented be-
fore the Appellate Division by his
attorney, Jac M. Wolff, of 37
William Street, included:

Fraud and coercion practiced
‘on the voters.

Failure to distribute ballots.

Violations of by-laws of the
PBA regarding the holding of
elections.

Rumpus
At His Door

President Joseph A. McNamara,
of the NYC Civil Service Commis-
sion, played the leading part in
an impromptu drama outside his
very own office, on the seventh
floor of 299 Broadway, which one
of a group of protesters entitled
“So This Is America.”

Returning from lunch, Mr. Mc-
Namara was informed, before he
entered the building, that a large
delegation was waiting outside
his office to see him. He hurried
to the scene and found about a
hundred filling the corridor, They
didn’t recognize him, so he strode
in their midst and announced
boldly:

“I'm President
What do you want?"

“We want to see you about the
clerical reclassification,” a spokes-
man replied,

“We held a public hearing on
that,” Mr. McNamara returned.

“Well, we have some additional
facts to present. We asked you
for an*interview and you refused,”

The defendants are the PBA,

John C. Lang, as treasurer, and
John F. Harnig, as recording sec-

new election would be held for
all five offices,

The hopes and ambitions of
NYC employees are reflected in a
survey of what's been happening
during the past year in the NYC
Employees Retirement System, of
which Ralph L, Van Name is
secretary.

‘The replacement of provisionals
has resulted in a considerable in-
crease in membership in the sys-
tem. Provisionals may become
members, but only a small per-
centage elected to do so; competi-
tive employees must do so
promptly.

Biggest Year

‘The system has had the biggest
year in its history in all save
retirements. Thousands of

em-

Thousands Won't Retire;
Waiting for Bigger Pensions

ployees are holding off retire-
ment as long as possible in the
hope that the bonus will be
merged into base pay and thus
increase the pension, With mem-
bers of the uniformed forces of
the Police and Fire Departments
this consideration is even more
important, although they
their own pension systems. For
them it would now add about $375
@ year to the pension.

Deaths have been heavy, es-
pecially among Board of Trans-
portation employees. About 45 per
cent of the deaths have occurred
in that department, which has
35 per cent of the system’s mem-
bership.

A conference was held by NYC
Civil Service Commissioners and
Samuel H. Galston, director of
examinations, on the next Sani-
tation Man (Class B) examination
and agreement reached to hold it
as speedily as possible, 2

The speed-up action was taken
after the Commission already had
ordered the examination, but fol-
lowing receipt of a letter from
Sanitation Commissioner William
J. Powell, stressing the urgency
of getting a new list out fast, so
that he would not have to ap-
point provisionals again.

The existing list will be used
up in a few months, it is esti-
mated. If that does occur, there
may be a short gap, during which
there is no list, but during that
period it is expected there would
be no need for appointments.

The new list would afford jobs
just as soon as it is promulgated.

Reason for Change

3,000 Jobs in Four Years

The Commission does not de-
sire to produce an eligible list
with a limited number of names,
but with as many names as prac-
ticable, so that it won’t have to
hold large examinations at such
short intervals. It had to repeat
the Sanitation Man, Patrolman,
Fireman and Social Investigator
tests last year or this, and would
like to have a Sanitation Man
list this time that would be sufii-
cient to fill the expected 3,000
vacancies during the four-year
maximum legal life of the list,
President Joseph A, McNamara,
of the Commission, is heartily in
acoord with this policy.

The pay of a Sanitation Man
(Class B) is $3,090 @ year, or
$59.42 a week.

Probable Requirements,

ten test, with a score of 70 per

Candidates must be not less than
