Yes, It's True;

Harry Fox
DID Win It!

Harry G, Fox continues as
treasurer of the Civil Service Bm-
Ployees Association. He defeated
Vernon R. Davis for the post. The
vote was 11,406 for Fox, 5,855 for
Davis. In last week's LEADER's
tabulation of the yoting, a “1”
was left out of Harry's vote, which
reduced the count to a mere drib-
ble, and the proof reader didn't
eatch it. So here's the correct fig-

ure again for Harry: 11,406.

ALBANY, Oct, 26 — Davis L.
Shultes told employee representa-
tives that a salary survey being
conducted by the State will go far
toward proving the employees"
case for a pay increase.

Mr. Shultes is chairman of the
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion salary committee. His report,
presented at the Association's an-
nual meeting. is of importance to
all State employees. It follows be-
low, in full:

We have all heard of the Gilll-
golo bird that flies backward be-
cause it would rather see where it's
going, It seems to me that some of
my revorts to you in the past years
have been Gilligolooish to some ex-
tent. We have hashed and rehash-
ed the old statistics going back to
1940 and the days when a dollar

or in the allocation of existing
titles to the salary schedule.”

We take this to mean that
recommendations will be made to
bring State salaries for each par-
ticular type of work up to those

id in private industry. The Ad-

hinistration undoubtedly expects
to raise the pay for some titles
more than for others.

Tt Is reasonable to suppose that
the survey may result in certain
related recommendations, such as:
1, A revision of existing 50 grade
salary schedule; 2, an orderly and
equitable method of making ad-
tments in the future as condt-
tions may require removal of
inconsistencies and overlapping in
some promotional series,

4. What advance commitments
have been made?

By the Association: None.

By the Administration: None,

except by implication that needed
adjustments will be mad

The findings of the Civil Service
Department should properly be
the subject of discussion and ne=
gotiation before final action is
taken,

5. What are the findings of the
Association salary committee?

Salary resolution should be pass
ed as submitted.

State salaries are deficient by
about 12 per cent, based on wages
paid in private industry and also
on cost of living studies based om
parity as of April 1, 1946

Salaries should be reallocated to
new grades which will freeze in all
existing emergency pay 3

The Association. must t
opportunity to study the results of
the Administration's salary survey
and to confer with the Adminis-
tration before they are adopted.

6. How will the survey affect thi
year's negotiations?

Inasmuch as the ostensible pur-
pose of the survey is to furnish
the information necessary for the
adjustment of salaries up to the
standard enjoyed by private in-
negotiations can hardly
be started until the survey has
been completed. We have no rea-
son to expect an undue delay ia
the completion of the project,

The Association expects to have
an opportunity to review the s
vey findings as to their validity in
the light of our own studies and
to negotiate as to the best means
of achieving @ sound salary pro-
gram.

In closing, I want to express the
committee's appreciation of the
Association's salary research
analyst, Henry Galpin, during the
past year, He has greatly facill-
tated the work of the committee,
with the assistance of Ethel Fay,
the research clerk. Mr. Galpin, at
the suggestion of the committee,

has be writing a weekly series of
articles for the Civil Service
LEADER, known as e Pay
Window.” These artic together
with the monthly tabulation of
Basic Wage Statistics, are de-

d to keep our membership
informed of current develop-
ts affecting the salary picture,

Chester B. Pond, J. Allyn Stearns,
Dr, Theodore C, Wenzl, Mux
Weinstein, Mildred M. Lauder,
Thomas Conkling, Margaret J.
Willi, Stephen C. Davis, Special
consultants are: Dr, Charles M.

2. Why did the Association ree
quest the Governor to make the
survey?

To remove the stalemate that
occurred last year when the Bud-
get Director stated that no fur=
ther general pay raises or the
freeze-in of existing emergency
pay would be made until existing
inequities within the State salary
structure were eliminated. Uniess
the survey had been started when
it was, the stalemate could have
prevented successful negotiations
again this year.

3. Why is the survey so import-
ant?

Because, if properly conducted
and implemented, aside from the
objectives previously mentioned,
will provide new base pay seal
for each title which, in effect, will
freeze in present emergency pay.

Tt will raise State salaries,

It will establish a definite pars
ity date upon which to base future
adjustments.

25-75’ Pension Plan

Perhaps the biggest single item
of conversation was the proposal
of Robert F. Wagner Jr,, favoring
the extension of the “25-75” re-
tirement plan to all City em-
ployees. This plan is now enjoyed
only by members of the Police and |
Fire Departments. Under it, the
employee's contributions into the
Retirement System are cut by
half. Today, the employee pays 50
per cent itno the retirement fund,
and the City pays in an equal!
share, The new proposal , woul@|
provide that the employee would|
pay in only 25 per cent, and the
City 75 per cent. The net effect
would ,of course, be the equivalent
of a substantial pay raise. City
employees have sought this ad-
vance for the past four years

changes were approved for eigh-
teen State Division chapters and
four County Division chapters dur-
ing the past year. Several revisions
are still pending before the com-
mittee — one County and three
State (St, Lawrence, Middletown
State Hospital, Marcy State Hos-
pital, James E. Christian Memorial

During 1952-53 year, charters
were granted three State Division
chapters (Mental Hygiene Central

NYC and Suburban Area) and two
County Division chapters (Living-
ston and Essex), There are now
135 chapters in the State Division
and 39 chapters in the County
Division, a total of 174, Two State
Division chapters were lost as of
September 1, 1953. Champlain
College chapter was discontinued

Board of Estimate

acted last Thursday, and the new

schedules will go into effect as of January 1. It is too bad
that the action had to await the heat of a political cam-

paign; but an important advance has been accomplished
and in this case “better late than never” holds good,

The idea of a salary chopped into two parts is basi-
cally repugnant. The practice creates a continuing anxiety
for employees and at the same time constitutes a subtle
threat — the threat that the bonus part might easily be
removed.

In NYC, the employees also suffered another negative

aspect of thi

angement. No contributions were paid

Question,
Please

THE U. S. Government, under
certain conditions, grants veteran
preference to wives and widows.
Does New York State or NYC do
likewise? C. E. P.

Answer—No, The State law ap-
Plies to exams for jobs with the
State or local governments, and
contains no such secondary pref-
erence provision,

IS THERE a minimum pension
law for New York State or NYC
employees? L. C.

Answer—Jt 1s assumed that by
“minimum pension” you mean that
anybody who retires receives at
least a certain fixed minimum
amount. Last year, when a law
was passed to provide some aid for
pensioners whose allowances were
pittances, some confusion arose in
the public mind that this guaran-
teed a minimum pension, The ad-
ditional amount granted in these
cases is small, and rigid require-
ments must be met, before the
extra pension money is eranted.

U. S. employees, but the main question is, How soon? |

There is a division of opinion among the U. 5. Civil Servee Com-~
missioners about when the project should be undertaken, but ag
Chairman Philip Young feels that taking care of displaced career
employees comes first, that’s the way it will be,

The solution, when it comes, will be large-scale, affecting perhaps
300,000, The whole idea is to put an end to what is close to a tempo-
rary hiring basis, when incumbents are filing regular, permanent joba,
In other words, the Jobs are permanent, but the occupants are not,

though they passed the same kind of competitive civil service teste
that the careerists did. %

The Commission unanimously recognizes the anomaly, notes that
it was something not of its own creation, and says it's anxious te put
the Federal civil service as a whole on a career basis, except for Jobs

State Engineers Have
A Just Grievance

ngineers in the State Department of Public Works

have a legitimate grievance, and the State ought to
act at once to rectify the situation. The facts are these:

A departmental employee who travels on State busi-
ness gets an allowance of $11 a day. When, however, an
engineer works on construction more than 25 miles from
headquarters, he may choose between $3.20 a day travel
expenses and $3 subsistence allowance. No travel re-

imbursement goes with the subsistence—the engineer pays

his own transportation, Often the men are far too distant
from home to travel back and forth; and the subs
cannot possibly cover their cos

stence

It is our understanding that the Superintendent of

Public Works is in sympathy with the aims of the en-

rinee and has asked that an upward revision be made
in the allowance.

The engineers seek an increase to $8 from the present
$3.75, This is not unreasonable. ‘
volved in straightening out this
straightened out will remove an i

tating inequity.

The amount of money in-}
tter is small. Getting it

happy working

The biggest boom to recruitment
would be a five-day week, so that
we, the forgotten members of the
civil service unit, could feel and
live like human beings. No lay per-
son can quite understand the tre-
mendous strain on human energy
exerted in caring for those of
broken minds and bodies. If offi-
cials could only spend one day in
a mental hospital, living side by
side with these ‘disturhed, dis-
traught people, they would surely
know it is impossible to maintain
good nursing care when one has
so little time as 24 hours a week
away from the stress and demands
of the job.

Instead of recruitment improv-
ing, we find even old timers giving
up and getting jobs elsewhere at
40 hours a week

It is always a puzzle to us, the
attendants and nurses at the hos-
how quick the visitors are to
find fault with the care given to
their loved ones, yet even two
hours of visiting leave the callers
leary to be left alone.

We ask little, Industry country-
wide has adopted the five-day work
week. What business demands
more alertness than does the care
of the mentally ill?

feel they have made some inroads
}on the path of advancement for
Armory employees. The four men

a Ochab and Mary Rauch; |

represented the Metropolitan
Armory employees at the annual
meeting of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association in Albany.

‘The four attended the general
meetings of the CSEA and also
participated in the Conference of
Armory Employees. They say:
“The outcome of these meetings
was quite satisfactory.”

A full report on the activities
will be made at the next regular
meeting of the chapter, which will
be held at the 107th Infantry
Armory, 643 Park Ave, (at 66th
Street), NYC,

The framework for prospects of
the immediate future will be the
main topic of discussion. It is im-
portant that all Armory employees
attend if they are interested in
their future. The meeting will be
most informative.

Tickets will be distributed for
the 6th annual awards dinner-
dance, to be held December 5 at
| the Oak Room in the 7lst Divi-
sion Armory.

The chapter extended its grati-
tude to the Civil Service LEADER

with Commissioner Newton Bige-
low resulted In a mutually satis-
fying airing of problems and ex-
change of views, according to a

int announcement by Dr. Bige-
low and Frederick J. Krumman,
president of the association, The
meeting, an informal round-table
discussion, took place in Albany.

“While no immediate solution is
oa for many of our prob-
lems,” Mr. Krumman declared,
“the committee feels that much
has been gained through this op-
portunity to clarify the issues, ar-
rive at a common uhderstanding
of difficulties, and in some in-
stances lay the groundwork for
future improvements.”

The committee raised several

questions of long stand, among

‘The request that farm hand be
reclassified to farmer received the
Commissioner's support. This, he
said, has been recommended by
the department, but the final de-
cision rests with other departments
of the State,

A protest against the definition
of serious iiIness in the Immediate
family of an employee as repre-
sented in Item 9 of the attendance
rules was registered by the com-
mittee, Dr. Bigelow indicated that
a change in the definition might
be desirable. If, as the committee
laimed, the application of the new
rule is causing hardship, he said,
he will be glad to have supporting
evidence to transmit to the Civil
Service Commission,

Commissioner Bigelow reported
substantial progress on questions

made through the Award Board's
departmental committee.

Mrs. Wenger is secretary of the
Capital District Conference of the

Among these were uniform re-

provision for a time and place for
employees to smoke. All of these,
he said, have been taken up by
department committees and action
is expected shortly. Discussions
were continuing with the Division
of the Budget, he said, on the mat-
ter of required meals for resident
employees.
Extra Pay for Hazards

Extra pay for hazardous work
was requested for the small per-
centage of employees working in
tuberculosis units who do not now
receive it. The committee said that
these employees were subject to
certain hazards not reflected in
their pay scale. Dr. Bigelow prom-
ised that the department would
take immediate steps to examine
the reported hazards and see if
any can be eliminated. The ques-
tion of additional pay, he said, is
one that the department cannot
handle independently, since the
problem cuts across several State
agencies. He indicated, however,
that he would be glad to take it
up with other departments involv-
ed on the basis of any new in-
formation that might be submitted

established, The question of au-
thority of police officers was also
discussed and the committee was
asked to submit additional mate-
rial to support its belief that
the police officer's authority is
inadequate,

The committee requested re-
evaluation of the classification of

rsons driving motor yehicles. Dr.

igelow indicated that he was not
satisfied with the present classifi-
cation and would ask his person-
nel staff to take it up with the
classification division. The titles
involved are motor vehicle opera-
tor and truck driver, The commit-
tee also presented material to sup-
port a request for salary realloca-
tion of nursing positions, which
the Commissioner promised to
study for submission to the divi-
sion of classification and compen-
sation, He pointed out that the
matter of keeping the classifica-
tion program current calls for ad~
ditional staff in the State agencies
dealing with classification,

committee questioned the advis-

Dr, Bigelow’s letter to Mr. Moses

“This is in reply to your letter

“The following is a digest of the
contents of this department's Cir-
lar Letter on the above subject.

‘ommenting on the request of
Local of the International
Association of Machinists, which
you mentioned in your } ir, at-
tention was drawn to the f. that
this relates to time of to vote for
persons on shifts of duty which
would overlap the hours during
which the polls are open. So far
as the institutions of this depart-
ment are concerned, it would ap-
ply to employees on the midnight
to 8:00 A.M. shift, who, in view of
the opinion of the Atterney Gen-
eral, must be given time off to
vote between 6:00 and 8:00 A.M.,
and the evening shift re: g for
duty at 4:00 in the afternoon
would be entitled to two hours to
vote between 4:00 and 7:00 P.M,
The foregoing is based on the
assumption that the polls open at

00 A.M, and close at 7:00 P.M,
Such allowance of time is given
to the employce alter proper no-
tice is given to the employer of
the former's desire to be absent
for the purposes of voting during
the time specified.

“Obviously the patients In the
institutions must receive adequate
care, If a substanticl number of
employees request time off to vote
at either one of the above-men-
tioned times of day, the only alter+
native left to the Director ls te
require other employees to work
overtime to provide for necessary
coverage. In this case compensa~
tory time would be allowed off at
£ time convenient to the institu.

Bob Wagner Says—

™ It’s COMING!
THE 25-75 RETIREMENT PLAN
FOR ALL CITY EMPLOYEES

“| favor the extension to the other City services of the 25%
employee and 75% City contributions which have been given
to the employees of the Police and Fire Departments”

AND T

ATS NOT

ALL

Bob Wagner has worked out the most comprehensive program
for New York City civil service employees in history.

Here it is! Read it in full! It means more money
in your pocket, better working conditions,

increased opportunities for you.

T am convinced present salary
rates for New York Civil Service
workers are inadequate. The May-
or’s Management Survey Commit-
» found this to be so, and I fully
ee with their finding. To deal
mprehensively with th
lems of New York
§ » workers, I propose the fol-
lowing:

1 Create immediately new pay

* schedules in line with the cost
of living indices, and in line with
pay for similar work in private
industry.

2 Last week I helped to freeze

* the cost-of-living bonus, mak-
ing it a permanent part of salary.
Next step: the city should make
salary adjustments so that there
will be no loss of take-home pay.

3 A definite pay plan should be

* set up to take the place of the
hodge-podge system of pay in-
creases now in existence,

4. Provisions should be made for

systematic annual increments
so that a city employee's pay will
xo up by several regular increases,
so long he performs his task
with igence and competence,
He should not be left to the favor
of his superiors for pay increases.

There should be set up a mod-
ern job classification, and this
uld be put into effect immedi-
I know that nearly all em-

VOTE FOR ROBERT F.

ployee groups now want this done.
The setting up of a proper job
el fication would make possible
the set-up of a modern wage struc-
ture with logical promotional lines,

6 There should be set up a per-

* manent Classification and
Wage Board to which any em-
ployee could appeal when he felt
that his salary was out of line with
his work,

7 There have been grave abuses

* in connection with the admin-
istration of Section 220 of the
Labor Law, the so-called pre-
vailing rate provision. I will do
everything in my power to see that
public officials live up to the spirit
and intent of this law.

8. Our pension systems have had

careers much like Topsy—they
have just grown. They should be
re-examined with a view to equali-
zation and uniformity.

I favor the extension to the
other city services of the 25% em-
ployee and 75% city contributions
which have been given to the em-
ployees of the Police and Fire De-
partments.

I believe in a clear-cut proce-

* dure for handling labor r
tions with the City’s employees.
Such a procedure should apply uni-
formly to all city departments and
agencies and should fix the broad
outlines for processing complaints.

It should include the voluntary
check-off of union dues for those
employees who request it. There
should not be any more tation
or delay about accomplishing this,

1 The merit system has been

the subject of many attacks
in recent years, There are some
who believe it has outlived its use-
fulness and should be abolished. I
am not one of these. In my view,
we should strive to strengthen the
system, but at the same time make
it conform to modern standards
and adjust it to the needs of a
streamlined era,

The answer lies in the adoption
of up-to-date personnel methods. I
shall bend all of my efforts as
Mayor to the achievement of maxi-
mum efficiency in government with
the least possible burden on the
tax-payer,

Throughout my political career,
I have not hesitated to call for ac-
tion by the Board of Estimate, City
Council or other appropriate bod-
ies to meet the needs of our city
employees. I have fought for sal-
ary raises, the five-day week, lib-
eral vacation and sick leave, and
other benefits. This is all a matter
of record, established long before
my present candidacy, | intend to
keep on fighting for these things
because I believe in them,
