and turnover figures, plus the increased use of special devices to aid

Here's What Happened

‘The Teachers Retirement Board
in 1946 revised its mortality tables,
| which determine the retirement
annuities derived from teachers’
contributions. The effect of the
revision was to reduce the amount
of the annua! annuity by spread
ing payments over a longer_period
of life expectancy.

The board's action has been up-
held by the Supreme Court and
the Appellate Division, and now is
bofore the Court of Appeals

suit, Mr, Birnbaum con-
tends no commercial annuity pol-
ley reduces the benefits after the
contract has been signed.

In Albany, a representative of
the New York Insurance Company

has agreed the Birnbaum conten- |

tion is true.

The Supreme Court, however, in
upholding the board ruling stated
that the language of the Retire-
ment Law was “unequivocal.” The
court said a tencher’s annuity
should be fixed when he retires,
not when he joins the retirement
system. The court differentiated
between a teacher's pension, to
which his employer contributes
and which {s guaranteed by the
Constitution, and the teacher's
annuity,

‘The court said the annuity, fi-
nanced by a teacher's contribu-
tions, was the Retirement Board's
responsibility, The decision later
was upheld by the Appellate Di-
vision.

Mr. Birnbaum Disagrees

Mr, Birnbaum, however, cites

this section of the Constitution: |

The State Teachers Association
contends it expressed concern to
the Retirement Board in 1946 be-
cause it felt changes in the re-
tirement system should apply only
to new members and should not be
made retrometive. Since then, the
association says, the board has
rendered no retroactive decisions.

Lined up in support of the re-
tirement board position ts the
State School Boards Association,
The Empire State Teachers group
contends the school board's action
{s because they would be obliged
to make up the back payments in

Canal Aides

Win $$ For
Efficiency

ALBANY, Deo, 30 — More than
$1,500 in cash awards will be din
tributed to employees of the State
Barge Canal System, {t has been
announced by John W. Johnston,
state superintendent of Publio
Wor
| The awards go to employees

whose locks were judged best in

terms of operating efficiency dur-
ing the past year,

Mr, Johnson said $904 will be
divided by 17 employees of the
top three locks. An additional
$614, on hand from past years,
| will be divided among the low
prize winners.

Winner of first prize in the 42nd
annual prize competition was
Lock 15, Erle Canal, Fort Plain,
Ranked second for efficiency of
operation was Lock 4, Cayuga-
Seneca Canal, Waterloo. Third
prize went to Lock 32, Erie Canal,
Pittsford,

Seven employees at the top-
rated Lock 15 will share $480;
four at the second-place lock will
divide $224 and six at the third
ranked Jock will split $200,

Honorable mention was received
by the following ten locks: Locks
| 8, 13, 22, 24, 25 and 26 Erie Canals
Locks 7 and 9, Champlain Canal
and Lock 2 and 5, Oswego Canal.

The first three-prize winning
locks were rated 98.9360, 98.6922
and 98.5219. Only four of the 55
locks on the system earned less
than a 90 per cent rating and the
lowest rating was 87,

Awards were based on frequent
inspection trips by a committee
headed by Edward C, Hudowalskt,

Broadened Range of Duties

“Many employees who gained

“A like condition occurred sev

Stenographirs, typists, and similar

Pay for Overtime Just

HE IDEA of working employees overtime, and not pay-

ing them at all for it, is original with government, Pr
yate industry woulddn't dare attempt such a thing. New
York City thinks nothing of it.

The policemen worked long hours overtime during the

recent transit strike. As the situation stands, they get |
nothing for the extra effort. Of course the policemen will

not take that kind of treatment lying down, Protests have
been lodged, Conferences will be held. .Up will come
something that amounts perhaps to compensatory time off.
That means time off, hour for hour, for the overtime
worked. Nothing about premium rates for overtime, as is
required in private industry, The Federal and the State

governments pass laws requiring private industry to do |

what they themselves fail to do. New York City is differ-
ent only that it doesn't have the authority to pass such
laws regarding industrial wages. Otherwise it probably
would do so,

Quite a Sacrifice

The 24,100 policemen were on constant duty for 12 |

hours and more during each day of the strike. They lost
their regular days off. They are to get not even a bonus,
as things stand, Policemen who couldn’t get a vacation
when they wanted it most, in summer, and sadly settled
for some time in December, had to cancel their vacations.

They were even called back if they were out of town vaca- |

eationing, During the overtime periods the policemen had
to eat extra meals outside, at their own expense.

What the Policemen Ask
The police ask, and justifiably, for overtime pay in

money, at regular rates, which is modest enough, since in- |

dustry pays premium rates for overtime. The average pa-

trolman worked 50 hours overtime. That would entitle |

him, at $2.62 an hour, to $131 for overtime. He should
wet it.

Policemen are paid on the basis of a 40-hour week,
but as they work two hours extra, they are paid at regular

rates for that, The City recognizes the justice of paying
for normal overtime, so how can it deny the justice of

paying for abnormal overtime, such ‘as served in an
emergency like the transit stsrike, when the police put

in crushing hours under conditions of nervous tension |

even to the point of physical and mental exhaustion?

A bill will be introduced in the Council to pay the |

policemen a bonus and compliment them for the fine work

they did. But no bonus must be less than normal rate for |

each hour of overtime worked.

The rate really should be time and a half.

The public is watching how the City Administration
reacts to the policemen's proposal,

LETTERS
TO THE EDITOR

FINDS NO ROOM FOR
ARGUMENT AGAINST GROUPS
Editor, The Leader:

Manuel Andiamo is doing fine
in his running fight in your Let-
ters to the Editor column regard-
ing the value of being a member
of an employee organization,

Mr. Andizmo speaks up for such
membership in incontrovertible
terms. In essence he says that a
Jone employee has little lkellhood
of accomplishing any gains for
himself or anybody else, and that
group action is needed.

The opposition, represented by
One of the 90,000, referring to

memberehip, The employee organ-
izations, the opposition complains,

bers, but not for non-members,

Something for Nothing?
| Where is the controversy? Is it
between those who want some-
thing for nothing and those who
want nothing for something?

Is a public employee to sit by
and expect his fellow-employee to
| pay the freight, while the re-
fralner blissly enjoys benefits of
gains?

In New York City the unions
have accomplished much for their
members, Their achievements in-
clude salary iereases,

I don’t think it's too much to
say that the employer, in effect,
pays the dues, The salary increases
have been larger by more than the
amount of dues than they would
have been without the expert re-
search and powerful presentations
of the unions.

In the State government, and
in Jocal governments outside New
York City, the situation ts the
same, with the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association practically
saturating the State field, and
| having sizeable representation in
the so-called County Division.

Why do you give room for argu-
ment for which there is no room?

ALPHONSE BOUCICAULT

EXPLAINS WHY HE QUIT
MEMBERSHIP IN UNION
Editor, The Leader:

Manuel Andiamo, in a recent
letter criticized “One of the 90,000"
New York City employees who had
written you a letter stating why
he refused to join a union,

When such a large segment of
employees still remains wnorgan-
ized, and so many union members
remain inactive in this union-
minded City, it Is an indictment
of unions’ ineffcotiveness or of the
unwillingness of union leaders to
put their heart into changing
| these conditions,

Admits Union Won Gains

There js truth in Mr, Andiamo’s
claim that unions should be cred~
ited for gains achieved in the
past. However, employees do not
Join on the basis of past victories.

I recently resigned from one of
the principal civilian City unions
after 10 years of active member-
ship. My decision was reached only
after many disiilusioning experi-
ences which led me to the con~
clusion that the union leaders
were primarily interested In mem~
bership, not members.

campaigns ago the Mayor prom~

SOCIAL SECURITY At) P. Cc. Are Fully Insured

OF THE POPULATION under
65, there were 65.6 million in
sured under Social Security at the
beginning of the calendar year
1956. Some 26.3 million of these
were permanently insured —that
is, whether or not they continue
to work In covered jobs they will
be eligible for benefits at age 65
and their families are assured of
Protection in the event of their
death. The remaining 39.3 million
were Insured but would have to
continue in covered work for an
additional period to make their
insured status permanent, Nine
out of 10 of the mothers and
young children in the nation were
assured that they would receive
Monthly benefits in case of the
death of the family earner,

Of the almost 14.4 million per-
aons aged 65 or over in the United
States in December 1965, about
$4 percont were eligible for bene-
fits under old-age and survivors
insurance. Forty-three percent
were actually receiving benefits,
and 1! percent were working, The
percentage of aged persons who
ure eligible is expected to rise to
69 percent by 1960.

‘The Coverage of the Program

About 69 million workers were
covered by old-age and survivors
insurance during the course of
the calendar year 1956, An addi-
tional 1'4 million people employed
in the railroad industry earned
Social insurance protection under
what, In effect, amounts to Joint
covernee of the railroad retire-
Ment and old-age and survivors
insurance programs. Altogether,
cluding State and local govern-
ment and nonprofit employees for
whom coverage is avaiable on @
group clection basis and members
of the Armed Forces, over nine-
tenths of all persons in paid em-
ployment in the cdhtinental Unit-
ed Stat were covered or could
have been covered by old-age and

survivpes inourance fy June 1996.
“intend

of the ned Forces
were ¢ don the basis of gra-
tuitous wage credits of $160 a
month for service before January
1, 1957, effective date for
regular contributory coverage for
them)

Of the workers not eligible for
» by old-age and survivors
insura: about one-third were
covered by other public retirement

Programs—Federn « or local.
The remaining two-thirds—6 per-
cent of the nation’s paid employ-
ment—were not covered by any
public retirement program, Those
without retirement protection, un-
Jess under some private sy m

consisted principally of self-em-
ployed persons whose annual net
earnings were less than $400 and
of domestic and farm workers who
did not carn sufficient wages from

any one employer to meet the
minimum coverage requirements
of the law

Better Pay Still Recruitment Answer

Shortly « new examination will be given for State Correction
Officer, The Inst exam given about ons year ago remulted in a lint of
124 names. Please remember that this is a statewide examination,
Widely advertised and with many existing vacancies. In 1940 this same
examination resulted in 4 liet of over 5,000 names. What has hap-
pened in the past decade to make this Job so unattractive?

Let's take @ look, Working conditions have certainly improved, the
work week has been red from 48 hours to 49 hours, with newly
Bppointed officers working 49 hours per week. Fringe benefits have
Jeon added: partial paid health plan, Social Security, longer vaca
Mons, personal business days off, and a more enlightened approach to
labor relations between the Commissioner's office and the uniformed
personnel, What then ja the answer?

Nothing Replaces Adequate Pay

Money, or rather the lack of monvy is the answer, Fringe benefits
also help a little but nothing can take the place of adequate salary, A
Bowly appointed officer's starting salary ie $4,080 per year with an
annual increment of $104 per year for five years, At the end of 3
years’ service, this mun caches the magnificent pay of $4,662 per
year, In New York City, the police and firemen get $6,008 at the end
of 3 years. New York City ection officers reach $5,785 ‘wt the end
of 3 years, Sanitation wor n New York City get over 65,000; bridge
and tunnel officers $5,200, a3 rs. Consequently we find that

all
present fists for Sate Correction Officer are strangely devoid of New

York City residents, Of course the State is not concerned with the
@eogtaphical setup of its eorployees, but these higher salaries paid in

New York City practically eliminate that area for recruitment for
Btave Correction Offi
Private Industry More Attractive .
In recent years, large corporations like 1.B.M,, Scintilla, etc,, have

@milarged thelr opern upstate New York. With decent salaries
and fine pension s companies have attracted many young
man, further cutting the potential available for State correction work.
The building of dams, and roads in upstate New York, with
ealaries running from 610) $200 per week, has attracted many small
town young men who might have turned to correction work for the
so-called security offered in State employment.

‘The State Civil Service Commission can give examinations every
month for correction officer and will still find itself unable to fill
existing vacancies at the present salary. April 1, 1957, the 42-hour
Week wont Into effect In State prisons, About 60 per cent of these
officers are still working 44 i's per week — can't get help.

Forgive me if during this Holy Season I sound a little like
“@orooge” but money, more money, is the only answer,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
