Sickness Inde

‘This la the third of a series of
articles explaining the new and
increased benefits given at no ex-
tra cost, under The Civil Service
Employees Association's Group
Plan Accident and Sickness Insur- |
ance.

By E. J. VANDERBILT, JR.
‘The preceding articles explained
the terms “increased and addi-
tional benefits” and “broader cov-
erage.”

In our first article we showed
bow the principal sum was ox-
actly doubled under the Group
Plan Policy without a penny of
additional cost to the policyholder.
In the second article we showed
how it is possible to receive prin-
cipal sum and monthly indemnity
at the same time for injuries re-
ceived in one accident.

No Shackles

In most individual policies of
accident and health insurance, the
payment of any sickness indemn
ity for certain specific sickness
applies only after the policy has
been in force for a certain mini-
mum period, usually one year, Un-
der the Associatio: Group Plan
| Policy, the sickness indemnity for
| all sicknesses is not only payable
as soon as the policy becomes ef
fective, but this indemnity is fur~
ther increased by 10 per cent if
the sickness occur after the policy
has been in force for at least 12
consecutive months and while the
policyholder is under age 60, This
applies to the payment of the
regular monthly sickness indemn-
ity for all sicknesses no matter
how many times they occur under

this policy, Actually, therefore,
whereas some _polic! become
more limited as time goes by, the

Association Group Plan Policy be-
comes more and more valuable.
Under the Association Group
Plan Policy, therefore, if you have
purchased a policy with a month
ly benefit of $150 you will actually
—— $165 a month for all sick-
es that occur after your policy
has been in force for at least 12
consecutive months and before you
reach age 60.
Board Coverage

‘The Group Plan policies will pay
benefits for all sicknesses peculiar
and common to both men and wo-
men, regardless of when the sick
ness began, In relation to the ef-
fective date of the policy, and for
as many times as the sickness is
repeated, except that benefits for
tuberculosis will be paid for an
agerceate of 12 months,

Here again is defined exactly
what we mean by broad unlimited
poverage. Most policies of this kind
will limit the payment of sickness
benefits to specifically exclude
many femald illnesses and eves
certain male sicknesses, or to ex
clude sicknes: that originate
prior to the effective date of the
pollcy. Also, some individual pol-
icles will not pay benefits at all
for hernias, arthritis, heart dis
eases or tuberculosis, We call our
Group Plan policy broad and un-
limited because it will pay bene-
Otc for all female disorders, all
male disorders as well as for all

mnity Broad

In Assn. Group Policy

The Group Plan Policy once
issued wil pay for all sicknesses,
whether they originate before or
after the effective date of the
| policy. Furthermore, the Group
Plan Policy will pay for all cases
of hernia, arthritis, diabetes and
heart disease, no matter how
many times they recur, as long as
you are insured under the policy,
Our policy will even pay benefits
for tuberculosis (12 months in the
aggregate), no matter how soon
after the effective date of your
policy the disease occurs,

cuss another recent liberalization
—the increase of the medical re-
imbursement benefit provision. We
invite questions. Please direct them

The 1951 Lo .gislative Session’ Summarized;
What It Did on Public Employee Matters

By JOHN J. KELLY, JR.
OY Aeentent Counsel,
Civil Service Employees Associotion

THE CIVIL SERVICE employee,
although not having received from
the 1951 Legislature all that he
sought, has reason to feel fairly
well satisfied with the over-all

he made,

Over the lawmakers, during the
session ended March 16, hung an
air of utmost urgency, with the
tempo set in Governor Dewey's
original message. The internation-
al situation, and the old bugbear
inflation impinged upon much
that happened. Their effects were
seen in the legislative emphasis on
civil defense, salaries, veteran
Tegisiation — including action on
dismissats, and approval of two
commissions examining into civil

service — also occupied the at-
tention of the lawmakers, the pub-
lic, and the public employee.
‘Dall’ Session

Nevertheless, the session itself
was characterized by old-timers
as somewhat dull and colorless, A
“typical number of bills — 6,185
— were introduced; an unusually
large number — 1,268 — were
passed. There was the usual con-
troversy concerning the budget,
the-open hearings, the Governor's
civil defense bill which created a
State-wide flurry, but only a few
sporadic marches on the capitol.
Everything seemed, as several old
cynics described tt, “under con-
trol.”

Following is a rundown of some
of the more important bills af.
fecting public employees which
have been passed by the 1951 Leg-
islature,

Retirement Legislation

‘The greatest victory of the year
for civil servants and retired em-
ployees was in the pissuge of the
Mahoney amendment, Senate Int.
688 Pr, 691. The purpose of the
amendinent is to permit the legis-
lature to increase the pensions of
retired members of public retire-
ment systems. The need for in-
creased pensions has become in-
creasingly apparent during the last
ten years. Due to the inflationary
trend of the past decade retired
employees find that their pension
dollar is actually worth only 550
in buying power, Attempts had
been made to sponsor legislation
to correct this inequity, but they
had always been met by the ob-
Jection that such Iegisiation was

funds nae Tharetore, in eTbAs the 0 rr
honey amendment was first intro-
duced and unanimously passed
both houses. Similarly it passed
the Senate unanimously early in
this session,

Two weeks before adjournment
strong and unexpected administra~
tion opposition to the amendment
was made public, As soon as this
opposition became apparent the
Association, the Civil Service
LEADER and other groups intes-
ested in this legislation swiftly
marshaited their forces,

‘The administration's urguments
were rebutted; the equities of the
Mahoney amendment were ex-
tolled; members of the Assembly
were bombarded by letters and
telegrams from their constitutents
urging passage of the amendment.

The administration offered, as
a substitute, a Rules Committee
Bill, Assembly Int, 3287, Pr, 3647.
This bill would permit needy pen-
sioners who had no outside in-
come to supplement thelr pensions
to a total of $75 @ month, Al-
though the Association supported
this bill beowuse it offered some
possible temporary relief it was
felt that it would be open to grave
constitutional objections without
the support of the Mahoney
amendment,

When the Rules Committee Bill
was passed by both houses the
political dopesters wrote off the
Mahoney amendment, On the last
day of the session the amendment
was laid aside three times. Finally,
three hours after the official time
for adjournment the measure was
brought out on the floor, Both
party leaders spoke against the
amendment and « letter from the
Pensions Commission was read op-
posing the amendment, The de-
bate continued, with members on

sides of the aisle speaking
for and against the amendment,
At the conclusion of the debate a
final tally was taken and the
Measure Was passed by an over-
whelming vote of 112 to 35, [A full
report on this momentous action
Sppears elsewhere in this issue—
Editorl.

The civil servants and the re-
tired employees cannot afford to
rest, however, since the measure
must be approved by the voters
in November before it becomes
part of the State constitution.

lic j adjustment for public hag sey oe
was apparent Jong before
sion convened, The maseocietiod
had been making salary studies
since iast spring and In December
published ite “Case for the 1951
Salary Program,” This was re-
celved enthusiastically by pubtle
employees. It called for « 15% up-
ward adjustment in salary, to-
gether with an additional 3% au-
tomatic increase for ench five
points which the cost of living
shall have risen since April 1,
1950. The administration first of-
fered the Association an increase
of $250, or 8%, whichever was
larger, This was wholly unaceept-
able. The next offer was $300 or
10%, whichever was larger, Nego~
tintions continued ond the final
administration offer was 12% %
on the first $2,000, 10% on the
next $2,000, and 744% on the bal-
ance of salary, with a miniinum
increase of $300 and a maximum
increase of $1,000, This too, al-
though it represented an average
Increase of 12%, was rejected by
the employees on the ground that
it would haye become entirely in-
adequate before the close of the
toming fiscal year.
Association Pay Bills

The Association sponsored
own bills by Senator Halpern and
Assemblyman Wilcox, Sonate Int,
1140, Pr, 1161, Assembly Int, 1674,
Pr. 1704, and additional bills for
the judiciary and legislative em-
ployees, to provide 159 increase
on the first $3,000 of salary, 10%
on the next $2,000, and 5% on the
balance of salary, with a minimum
increase of $300 and a maximum
of $1,000, The Association also
sponsored legislation which would
have provided for automatic cost
of living adjustments, Halpern-
Wilcox, Senate Int, 2288, Pr, 2455,
Assembly Int, 2619, Pr. 2768, De-
spite the strenuous efforts of the
Association, these bills were kiled
in committee; and the administra~
tiom bill, Senate Inc, 2782, Pr. 2972,
embodying the final administra~
tion formula, was passed by both
houses,

Despite failure to obtain the full
adjustment sought, State em-
ployees nevertheless benefited by
& substantial increase over the
original offer,

Increment Credit

The Lupton Law, sponsored this
year by Senator Erwin and As-
semblyman Wilcox, Senate Int,
428, Assembly Int, 805, Pr, 809,
was extended for another your
and was signed by the Governor,
it now ts Chapter 32 of the Laws
of 1951, This provides that in-
crement credit earned as a tem-
| porary or provisional employ
will be retained on permanent a)
polntment to the same or a simi-
jar position,

tor Brydges and Assemblyman
Becker, Senate Int, 1621, Pr, $243,
Assembly Int, 1826, Pr. 3672, pro-
vides, for the first time, a salary
plan with regular increments for
civilian employees in State
Armories,

Veterans Legislation

‘The Halpern-Becker Bill, Senate
Int, 118, Pr, 118, Assembly Int. 60,
Pr. 60, has been signed by the
Governor and is Chapter 14 of the
Laws of 1951, This law extends
the provisions of Section 246 of
the Military Law, to persons who
have entered military service since
World War Il, The Association
drafted the original enactment of
Section 246, and is pleased that
the Legisiature and the Governor
saw fit to act on this important
logisiation ao early in the session.

Anti-Subversive Legislation
An administration sponsored bill
was introduced, by the Rules Com-
mittee, Senate Int. 2799, Pr, 3053,
Assembly Int, 3246, Pr, 3502,
which authorised the Civil Service
Commission to determine “security
agencies" within the state service

and to refuse appointment and to
dismiss or transfer cfficers or em-
ployees found to be of doubtful) the
trust and reliability, The legal bill
presents many serious problems,
and its enactment in that form
was opposed by the Association,
which recommended that the
bill should be amended to become
operative only In the event of a
declaration of war or actual
emergency. Now that it is a law,
the Association's policy will be
determined by the Board of Di-
rectors at its meeting this week,

Dismissal Legislation

Four major measures were ap-
proved by the Legislature which
are of interest to all civil service
employees,

‘The Manning-Wilcox Bill, Sen-
ate Int. 1818, Pr. 3154, Assembly
Int. 2124, Pr, 3462, would empower
the Civil Service Commission to
order the reinstatement of @ dis-
missed employee if the dismissal is
found unwarranted on appeal to
the Commission. Under the present
law, & serious defect exists in that
the Commission can only attempt
to transfer such an employee or
give him preferred list status even
though his dismissal is found to
unjustified,

Senator Manning and Assembly-
man Cusick’s bill, Senate Int.
994, Pr, 1688, Assembly Int, 877,
Pr, 1821, would give all employ-
ees in the competitive class the
right to a hearing when charges
are preferred, with a right to
counsel and to summon witnesses,
At the present time only veterans
and exempt volunteer firemen
have the right to a hearing.

Civil Service Legislation

$75,000 was appropriated for
the purpose of a management
study of the Civil Service Depart-
ment and State personnel prac-
tices, as a result of the W. J. Ma-
honey - Ward Bill, Senate Int, 285,
Pr, 285, Assembly Int, 602, Par.
604. This bill has become law and
is now Chapter 101 of the Laws
of 1951.

‘The Commission to recodify the
Civil Service Law was extended
for another year by the P. J, Ma-
honey - Preller Bill, Senate Int,
1118, Pr. 1133, Assembly Int. 1380,
Pr. 1399, and is now Chapter 81
of the Laws of 1951. The Associa-
tion is hopeful that the ensuing
year will see the commencement
of the Commission study,

Adi nal
Retirement Legislation

The 55-year retirement plan
was reopened until September 31,
1951 by the Halpern-Noonan bill,
Senate Int, 2623, Pr, 2791, Assem-
bly Int, 2460, Pr. 2579. This meas-
ure Is now on the Governor's desk
and his signature is confidently

pected,

Two bills were passed which
would permit retired employees to
supplement their retirement by
earnings in public employment,

ate Int, 2442, Pr, 2610, Assembly
aie 2457, Pr. 2576, would

it law gp tg retl
employees to earn $750 in public
employment if their rwarensen ale
lowance does not exceed $1500.
Assemblyman Reid's bill, As=
sembly Int, 2192, Pr, 2272, ts
slightly more liberal and would
allow retired employees to receive
a total of not to exceed $2500
from their combined retirement
allowance and earnings in public
employment,

The Mitchell-Lupton Bill, Sen~
ate Int, 1631, 07, Assembly
Int, 1017, Pr.’ 1980, would exempt
all retirement benefits from New
York State inheritance and estate
taxes, It was vetoed.

The Cooke-Noonan measure,
Senate Int. 2455, Pr, 3088, Assem=
bly Int. 2711, Pr. 2860, would per+
mit retired members who reenter
service all service credit, both
prior and subsequent to retire-
ment, for computing the ordinary
death benefit.

Another Cig Noonan Bill,
Senate Int. 2443, Pr. 2611, Assem=
bly Int, 2458, Pr, 2577, would ox-
tend until July 1, 1953 the privil-
ege of contributing 50% in excess
of the requized normal rate to pur=
chase increased annuity,

The Brydges-Noonan Bill, Sen-
ate Int, 2244, Pr. 2401, Assembly
Int. 2455, Pr, 2574, allows an em=
ployee to withdraw his accumu-
lated contributions until age 60
instead of until first eligible for
retirement, This bill would also
Provide that those whose annual
retirement allowance is less than
$300 may withdraw their accumu-
Inted Cag oes pe a retirement,
man Noonan collaborated on a
measure, Senate Int, 2382, Pr,
2539, Assembly Int. 2456, Pr. 2575,
which would permit members of
the System to borrow from the
= while absent on military

uty.

Senator Erwin and Assembly~
man Noonan sponsored the
Senate Int, 2381, Pr. 2538, Assem-
bly Int, 2463, Pr, 2582, which would
permit members of the Retire-
ment System to borrow from the
System until age 65, Another re~
tirement bill, is the Erwin-Noonan
Bill, Senate Int. 1785, Pr. 1866,
Assembly Int. 2157, Pr, 2237,
which would extend the date af-
ter which a Cornell employee may
elect to become a member of the
Retirement System,

Summary

Hundreds of measures affecting
the merit system, retirement bene-
fits and working conditions of pub-
He employees were introduced,
Most of these died in committee,
some passed in one house only to
be killed in the other. A few ob-
jectionable measures were passed
and wiil be opposed by the Asap-
elation,

A final legislative report will ie

Techniques of
Labor Relations

HE vitality of the victory which public employees won

in the Legislature grows

as one contemplates it: the

victory of the pension amendment. It demonstrates what
ean be accomplished by maturity of approach, and perhaps
maturity is the word that best characteristizes the actions
of the public employees, and the cooperation of their organi-
zations, in getting through this humane piece of legislation
in the face of powerful opposition. .. .

Signal Job By The Association

The pay rise for State employees, while not up to the
Jevel which the employees had sought, nevertheless repre-
sents a signifivant victory of another kind, a victory based on
hard, strong, fact-packed negotiation. Had it not been for
the strength shown in negotiation, the raise would surely
not have reached the point it had. An over-all increase of
perhaps 8 per cent might have been won. As it was, the final

formula wrested from the negotiations is higher than any |joaa

pay raise granted by any other government jurisdiction
within New York State, and possibly in the entire United
States. The Civil Service Employees Association performed
a signal job in winning this much—even though the formula
is below the final compromise which the Association deemed

acceptable. In New York City,
increase was offered, a figure

» only a $250 across-the-board

so far below the State figure

that active unrest in employee circles has resulted. . . .

Basis of Organizational Strength
On the State level, techniques of employee activities in

relation to the employer are advancing. Diff

nt situations

require different techniques. It is an intelligent resiliency,
# flexible ability to deal with any situation in the terms best
suited to it, that makes for organizational strength. We may
add that mature employer-employee relationships in govern-
ment makes for better government. It is a lesson that all
jurisdictions of government—including some martinets in
certain local areas—could well take heart... .

COMMENT

WANTS PERMANENT
EMPLOYEES KEPT IN DPUT

aan , The LEADER:

you are rer there has
wen & succession of lay-offs in
the Insurance offices of the Divi-
sion of Placement and Unemploy-
ment Insurance, which have be-
come a weekly occurrence, be-
cause our claims load is steadily
of course, is a

the “stuatio
Although the situation reflects
the prosperity of the country, it
has @ devastating effect on the
employees of this division. Unfor-
tunately, monies appropriated for
the functioning of the insurance
oMfices are determined by the
actual office loads, This may be
sound practice tal employees
hired on a_ tempor basis are
dismissed, However, "the dismissal
of permanent employees has re-
sulted and has now reached into
the veteran employees.
Plight Deseribed

No figure has been established
whereby the Administration ¢an
decide upon an appropriate mini-
mum by which it can keep @
trained staff for a sudden reversal
in the economic conditions, Tt is
this plight that concerns all the
permanent employees in_ the in-
surance offices of the DPUI. In
the past, monies were appropriat-
ed by Washington for overall ad-
ministration of the various place-
ment and insurance offices, money
is now appropriated into cate-
gories: so much for placement
and so much for insurance, The
New York State Administration
therefore can only use insurance
money for insurance personnel.
We in the insurance offices feel
that the offices should be staffed
Yoo seu Permanent personnel whose
job security should not be threat-

orere is no lack of work for
these particular employees. If the
reaches n certain minimum,
the staff could be assigned to
other details, namely # concerted
relation Meld visit program,
assigning of staff to aid in
placement work, the collection of
over-payment accounts, the stud-
fes of pro} d legislation, such
as & ie base year; a new
merit rating system for use by
employers; the payment of bene-
fits in local offices and for many
detailed studies which this Divi-
sion {s called upon from time to
time,
Wants Ald from Washington
During the past war, the insur-
ance offices suffered the same
fate and upon cessation of war
were without trained staffs to
man these offices, The public was
not. properly serviced for some
dime. It would appear
Administrative polnt of view that
the only logical way to administer
the unemployment insurance pro-
gram would be to keep a minimum
trained staff. The destruction of
the morale by the anticipated Iny-
offs has mate great invoads upon
an efficiently trained staff,
Probably the only solution to
this is to apprise the Social Secur-
ity Board in Washington of the
problem. Efforts to present our
case in Albany, up to now, have
met with no success: This problem
should be brought to the adminis-
trators in Washington, who are
responsible for the success of Bo-
cial Security administration.

TR EMPLOYEES INDIGNANT
AT KILLING OF BILL
Editor, The LBADER:

The employees here at Edge-
wood ure not only disappointed
but highly indignant because the
Legislature killed the Graves-
Noonan (8, 1046 - A. 1027) bill
granting T. B. pay to all employees
jn_T, B. Institutions,

We had all the employees here
sign appeals for reclassification,
Then came the first hold-up —
4. Bari Kelly was in Rome. Then
the employees received notices
from Mr. Kelly that their appeals
had been denied, We all felt that
this was extremely unfair inas-
much as Mr, Kelly could not
understand conditions without
seeing them.

This division of Pilgrim State
Hospital is a separate unit for the
care of T, B, patients, That, in tt-
ool, is a hazard, On top of that,
the patients are all mentally i)
and not responsible for personal
habits, Our maintenance men are
employees tn this unit eight hours
® day working on the wards, in
contact as much as the ward per-

from an)

sonnel which receives the extra
pay. We also feel that the kitchen,
lnundry, garbage disposal, office
employees and other personnel
fre in contact and are therefore
entitied to the extra salary,
No Hearing Granted
Our particular grievance at this
time is that Mr, Kelly would not
even grant these employees a

Assn. resolved to haye the bill
introduced and then the Legisla-
ture killed it. IT am sure that these
men were unfamiliar with the cir-
cumstances and seem to show little
concern with bills that are ex-
tremely important to civil service
employees. By that, I mean bills
such as T. B. pay, vested rights
(retirement), accumulated sick
time and vacation on retireme.t
or death, the need for better re-

Civil Service Rights

P

Me. Weissberg,
former Deputy As-
sistent NYC Cor-
perotion Counsel
ead euthor of the
book "Civil Serv.
ice Rights,” con

‘THE NEW YORK State Consti-
tution and the Labor Law both
provide that Jaborers, workmen or
Mechanics engaged on public
works shall be paid not less than
the prevailing rate of wages for
their work. The courts have held
that this applies not only to em-
ployees of private contractors do-
ing public work, but also to la-
borers, workmen or mechanics in
the civil service, who are engaged
in the construction, operation,
maintenance or sepair of any pub-
lic works,

Whe Is “Laborer, Workman,

Mechanic?”

‘The courts have interpreted the
words, “laborer, workman oF me~
chanic” to mean a person whose
work Is “predominantly physical
in character, with atvendant
risks.” Among those heid to come
within this definition w a ram~
mer employed on a city’s streets,

a foreman of riveters on a city’s}
bridges, a structure maintainer on)
[paid in private

& city's subways, & lineman-elec-
triclan, a pipe caulker in the Wa-
ter Supply Department, and a
stationary engineer in public
buildings, But uniformed members
of a fire department, janitors in
public buildings, and laundry
workers in a city’s laundries have
been held not to be~ laborers,
workmen or mechanics engaged
on public works

In NYC, @ resolution of the
Board of Estimate adopted in 1920

provides that foremen shall be
Paid $1 a doy or $300 annually
above the prevailing rate of the
laborers, workmen or mechanics
whom they supervise. The fact
that the position of a Jaborer,
workmen or mechanic is classified
in the competitive class, or is in
a particular grade, does nov de-
prive him of the right to the pre-
Vailing rate of wages for his work,
the employees contend.

What Is A Prevailing Rate?

The prevailing rate of wages is
the amount, of rate of compensa-
tion paid in the same city, town
or Village to the majority of per-
sons in a particular trade or oc-
cupation, or compensation paid to
at least 40% of such persons If
there is no majority pald at the
same rate, or the avers: ate of
wages paid to persons in the same
trade or occupation, if less than
40% of
paid at the same rate, The pre-
valling rate of wages is to be
computed and fixed on the basis
of a legal day's work, conaisting
of eight hours, Vacations and pen-
sion benefits allowed to civil ser-
vice employees may not be de-
ducted from the prevailing rate
of wages, Where laborers, work~
men oF mechanics in private in-
dustry are paid “shife differen-

tials,” or more money per hour
for night work ox Sunday or noli~

such persons are being)

day work, such extra payments
are the prevailing rates of wages
for the less desirable shifts and
must also be paid to laborers,
workmen or mechanics in. civil
service. Where laborers, workmen
or mechanics in private industry
receive substantial sums in tips or
gratuities, and both the employer
and employee take these into ac-
count in fixing the employee's
wages, such tips or gratuities if
reasonably ascertainable, must
also be considered in fixing the
prevailing rates of wages of In
borers who do similar work in the
civil service,
Procedure For Hates

The Labor Law provides that
prevailing rates of wages for la~
borers, workmen or 6 in
the employ of the State shall be
set by the State Industrial Com-
missioner and by Comptrollers or
like “fiscal officers" of cities,
counties or towns, for all other
laborers, workmen or mechanics
in the civil service. Upon his own
initiative, @ fiscal oMecr may, and
‘upon the filing of a written veri-
fied complaint by a laborer, work-
man or mechanic or by a con-
tractor upon public works, must
conduct an investigation of the
Prevailing rates of wages for such
trade or occupatiqn in his city,
town or village,

The fatal officer usually senda
Investigators to private businesses
and other organizations in the
community for information as to
the compensation currently being
Industry for work
in ® particular trade or occupa-
tion. For this purpose, the fiscal
officer may examine the books of
any private business or organiza.
tion and he may subpoena wit
nesses and examine them under
oath, A written report is made of
the information obtained during
the investigation and that report
must be furnished to the laborers
or contractors who filed the com-
plaints, Such laborers or con-
tractors then have the right to a
hearing before the fiscal officer
| at which they may offer evidence
contradicting or explaining the re-
Port and to cross-examine each
other's witness

When the hearing is ended, the
fiscal officer makes a determina-
tion fixing the prevailing rate of
wages for the trade or occupation
in question, Copies of that de-
termination, with notice of its
entry and Ming, must be furn-
ished to the Inborers and con-
tractors who filed complaints, Any
laborer or contractor who is not
satisfied with that determination,

has thirty days from the Ming

Plicants to fill stenographer and

to any high school in Washington,
D. C., where there are 25 appli-

will be in addition to the regular
examining program.

take advantage of the on-the-spot
exams, Also, typewriters in the
schools will be used: if not numer-

ous enough, provision will be made
for obtaiffing additional ones.

it told of a girl who'd be willing
to be examined in school, but not
otherwise.

she complained,

in the regular course, and to date
about 1,200 are on hand. Bxam-
ination of high school and com-
mercial school seniors ig being

IN CIVIL SERVICE
candidates are sometimes r
on what they say instead of on
what they write.

In the rating of training and
experience, the candidate may be
given an oral interview during
which he is urged to elaborate
upon the statements made in his
application. He may be asked

Disabled Vet Loses
Suit for Promotion .

The NYC Civil Service Commis-

jon, which refused to certify a
disabled voteran for promotion to
Lieutenant, Fire Department, was
upheld by Justice Benedict D.
Dineen in New York County Su-
preme Court.

In the case of Connolly versus
Monaghan, the court held that
while a disabled veteran ts not
disqualified because of his disabil-

ity, he must be able to perform
the duties of the position. He held
that the Commission's action was
substantiated by the record and
was not arbitrary, capricious or
unreasonable, hence should not be
disturbed.

Police Lieutenant Joseph J. Re-

a circular letter to the members
of bis organization, asking them
to write or wire Mayor Impellit-
teri, emphasizing the unconstitu-
tionality of the two Council bills
affecting the police Department.
He said that the bills also were
unfair and violate a contract.

The unconstitutionality argu-
ment, expected to be presented in
court eventually, concerns the
guarantee under the State Consti-
Vution that pension benefits shal!
not be diminished or impaired. If
applicable in the police cuse, the
argument would apply also in the
other cases, lawyers said.

Elected by Buffalo State
Hospital Employees’ Vote

BUPPALO, March 26—A 15-
fame grievance machinery panel
set up in Buffalo State
Hospital. It is one of many such
panels currently being established
in State agencies under the Per-
sotinel Relations Board set up by
sxecutive order of the Governor.

The 15 members of the panel
were chosen by popular vote from
a ballot containing 6$ names, The
institution's personnel roster num-
bers approximately 700 employees,
The regulations call for one unit
panel member to each 50 em-
Ployees. Announcement of the |
panel was made by Dr, Harry
Paver, assistant director at the
institution.

The panel members are well
seattered in various departments
of the hospital, but some em-
Ployees feel that too few attend-
ants and ward employces are rep-
resented on the panel. This com+
plaint was aired at a monthly
meeting of the Civil Service Em-
ployees Association,

|

The ward employees, constitut-
ing over 65 per cent of the total
personnel roster, elected only one
member to the panel, This appar-
ently has bgen the major cause of
complaints stemming from ward

Police Check

9,400

Fingerprints in Rush,
Speed up Eligible Lists

Two months ago the NYC
Civil Service Commission had the
fingerprints of 10,000 candidates
at Police Headquarters for check-
ing. ‘Today the number is below
600. The rapid checking of the
9,400 prints resulted from the full
co-operation of Police Commis.
sioner Thomas, FP. Murphy, said
James 8, Watson, President of the
Civil Service Commission.

Civil Service Commissioner Paul
P, Brennan agreed that Commis-
sioner Murphp had shown a splen-
did example of teamwork. Mr.
Murphy assigned Inspector Frank
Phillips, in charge of the Police
Department fingerprint bureau, to
the Commission's problem and the
Inspector hurried after the Co:
mission had explained the neces~
sity for rapid action because of
veteran preference claims, When
Inspector Phillips return to
Headquarters he trained some po-
licemen and put them to work on
| ghe fingerprints as aids to the
seawar fingerprint technicians,

Th e¢ huge tusk was accomplished
by_day and night work.

The Commission selected for
immediate action lists which could
be brought out if only a re stivoly
small number of fingerprints was
cleared. The Police Department
concentrated on these first, A
schedule was adopted, by agree-
ment with the Commission, and
was strictly followed.

The fingerprints of veterans
were particularly necessarp to
in conneo-

| kee their identities,
fon with preference claii
The processing of such claims is
now going ahead smoothly, the
Civil Service Commissioners said,
and there hasn't been a complaint,
from a single candidate, The only
case even related to the subject
was that of a candidate who,
though otherwise entitled to pref.
erence, hadn't filed his claim in
time, He may use the preference
in another test, even a promotion
one if he gets appointed from his
present open-competitive list,

Commission's .

Quarters Get

First Paint Job in 12 Years

A painting and renovating job
at the offices of the N¥C Civil
Service Commission is under way,
The separate offices of President
James 8, Watson and Commission

Pino have been repainted. The
President selected grey for his
walls, the two others green, Chairs
reno-
vated, all now glistening,

The job is being done by the
Department of Public Works, The
Commission hopes later to improve
the appearance of the board room,
where public hearings are held,
and have other rooms painted,

President Watson and his fel-
low-Commissioners feel that the
bright, new appearance will en-
hance the Commission's work,
President Watson thought the
change was consistent with the
dignity of the Commission's oper-
ations and would give the public

a better impression.

Walls that hadn't been painted
since 1938, when the Commission
moved into the quarters at 299
Broadway, took on the new look,

Expected to Remain There

Some new carpets have been
laid. The three Commissioners’
offices, now adjoining one another,
plus the room occupied by Séc:
tury Prank A. Schaefer, have been
spruced up generally. Formerly
Dr. Schaefer was sandwiched be-
tween Commissioners Brennan
and Pino,

Other rooms on the seventh
floor, where the Commissioners
hold forth, still have cracks in the
walls, holes in the floor and tatter-
ed_and heavily dusty rugs.

The Commission occupies quart-
ers on several Hoots of the bulld-
ing, 57,000 square feet in all. The
renovation was taken as in indica
tion that the Commission expecta
to remain in that location,

Council Set to Vote

NYC Council will report favorably,
at the Council meeting on Tues-

ment which would make retire-
gent compulsory for members of
the uniformed force of the Police
Department on reaching age 63.

Association conducted @ poll in
which the members voted against
the project by a majority of more
than 200, said President John E.
Carton.

The committee held a hearing,

president of the Lieutenants
Benevolent Association, eligibles
on the lut for promotion to ser-
geant, and others favored the bill,
which was introduced by Counctl-
man Edward Cunningham.

Licutenant Regan said that the

re of & policeman’s work
places the accent on youth, that
rior to 1940 the Commissioner
iad authority to retire men over
60 years old, and that the 63-year
limit is logical,

“Such Hmitation,” he added, “is
in effect in the police departments
of other big cities and has pro-
duced good results, The bill is
definitely in the public interest,
would boost morale by enabling
periodic promotions, and erhance
the eMolency of the department.”

The Council is expected to pass
the bill, The Board of Estimate
and the Mayor would have to ap-
prove, before it would be enacted,

How Mahone

y Resolution

Adoption Was Achieved

(Continued from Page 1)
though it had not previously tak-
en a stand in the two years since
the issue hod originated: Raiph
L, Van Namo, secretary of the
NYC Employees Retirement Sys-
tem, and a member of the Com-
mission, dissented. The whole
Commission approved a hastily
@rawn bill providing for a $900
minimum pension, Mr. Van Name
called it a pauper’s bill but went
along with it on the theory that
it was better than nothing, This
bill_ts now before the Governor.

When it became obvious that
the McGovern opposition was
meaningful, there was an unusual
mobilization of activity among
civil service employees and teach-

ors,
Editorial Hits Objections

An editorial in The LEADER
dated March 6 sharply answered
Comptroller McGovern’s objec.
tions. "We believe,” that editorial
read, “the Comptroller has not
fully thought through the implt-
cations of his viewpoint, and we
hope he may be persuaded to
withdraw his objections, . . . ‘The
Assembly should pass the Ma-
honey amendment at once, and
let the people make the final dect-
sion when the measure appears
at the polly.” One by one, the edi-
torial took up the Comptroller's
Points of objection, and argued
that they were without real merit,

The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, which had for years
actively campaigned to get such
&n amendment on the books, put
the full power of its 50,000
members behind the bill, Local
Jegislators, the Assembly leaders,
the Governor, began hearing from
the “grass roots.” The barrage of
letters on the issue, many of them
containing stories of the hard-
shipa suffered by pensioners, was
clearly effective. The legislators
Were showing signs of restiveness
over the opposition of their lead~
ers to the amendment.

Political Factor

Moreover, there was a signifi.
cant point that wasn't talked
sbout publicly. Many of the leg-
islators had written to their con-
stituents saying they would vote
for the amendment. Now their
leaders were asking them to go
back on their promise, Tt was a
tough thing to ask, and the as-
semblymen didn’t take kindly to
the idea.

Another political factor took
hold also on the final two days of
the session, The Assembly lead-
ers, not infrequently
their Senatorial counterparts, be-
came aware that they were being

made the onus for killing the
amendment e Senate had
passed the amendment unani-
mousy; they, on the Assem-
biy side, © being asked to bear

the brunt of responsibility for
killing what was obviously a hu-
mane piece of legisiation, No one
will ever know how much this
rivairy influenced the final deci.

y at odds with |

ual data prepared by the employee
groups. The State Teachers Asso-
Ciation prepared such material.
Jesse B. McParland, president of
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation, forwarded to the assem-~
biymen and to the administration
several broadsides attacking the
matter from many points of view.
He pointed out that the desperate
pensioners “were promised ... a
ension plan which would care

‘or them in their old age. This
promise has not been kept.”

Van Name Enters Campaign

Ralph A. Van Name, secretary
| of the New York City Retirement
Systeny, lent his voice to the cam-
Paign, MoGovern's objections to
the bill, said Yan Name, were
“hollow.” It is known that Van
Name considered the approach of
the Comptroller doubly injurious
because, according to the NYC
pension’ chief, the State official
was to meet with him before any
opposition action was taken, Mr.
McGovern’s statement of opposi-
tion was issted before his sched-
wed mecting with Mr, Van Name.

Brueck Enters Fray

Philip B, Brueck, of the Gov-
ernment and Civil Employees Or-
ganizing Committee in New York
City, took an active hand in the
fight, Wiring the logisiative lead-
ers, he demanded: “Why was his
opposition withheld until the clos-
ing hours of the session? Where
has he been for the past two
years? Must the pensioners starve
for three more years?”

Then, on the final day of the
session, MoGoyern’s objections
were struck a staggering blow. A
memorandum prepared by John
T. DeGraff, counsel to the Civil
Service Employees Association,
coolly dissected every objection
made by the Comptroller, and
concluded that every one of Mc-
Govern's points were erroneous
The memo’s effect on the legisia~
tors was obvious from the fact
that they talked about ft, quoted
it, and were clearly shaken by it

‘On this day, Friday, March 16
lust day of the session, there was
& coalition of teachers and civil
service organizations working har.
moniously for passage of the
