HowU.S. Withholding Tax
Affects Federal Employees
WASHINGTON.—Here’s a table which accurately shows how
that new 20 per cent withholding tax, which goes into effect July 1,
will affect the semi-monthly checks of Federal employees,
(A table showing the affect of the-tax on New York City em-
ployees appeared in The LEADER for June 15).
All together, it shows the tax rates for 21 different groups of
taxpayers. For example, although Column 3 is labelled as the tax of
single persons with no dependents, the footnotes at the bottom of
the table also show that it covers three other groups, Here is how
the table works:
1—Find your basic salary rate in Column 1.
2—Then set down the exact amount of your semi-monthly pay-
check, whatever amount you receive after War Bond and Retire-
ment deductions have been taken out.
3—Add to it the amount of your Victory Tax as shown in
Column 2,
4—Then, from that sum, subtract the amount of your new with-
holding tax, as shown in Column 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8
5—The new total will represent the exact amount of the pay-
check you can expect after the tax goes into effect.

OPA
Merit Returns
WASHINGTON.—As indicated
in The LEADER, a method of
filling major Office of Price Ad-
ministration jobs outside of
Washington has been ordered by
Civil Service Commission.
In the future, the Commission
has ruled, these jobs will be filled
in exactly the same way as post-
master positions. The new regu-
lation applies 0 all administra~
tive and technical positions at
$3,200-and-up. Here is precisely
how it will work:
1, All jobs subject to the new
rule will be filled by competitive
examination.
2. Exams for jobs in any par-
ticular community will be open
only to residents of that commu-
nity.
3, They will be conducted by
local civil service officials, and
graded by them, without refer-
ence to Washington.
4. The top three names in any
given exam will be submitted to
OPA,
One of Three
5, OPA must then select one
of three—or offer satisfactory
explanation for not doing so.
6. One day after the three top
names have been submitted to
OPA, civil service officials may,
“if desired,” release the names
to the press and the public.
Like Postmasters
This procedure is exactly iden-
tical with the system used in fill-
ing postmaster jobs. Moreover,
the parallel is especially marked
on the matter of permitting pub-
licity for the names of the three
top job candidates. In the case
of all other agencies except Post
Office Department, civil service
enforces a rule of no-publicity.
Civil service high-ups explain
that OPA officials bear much
the same relation to their local
communities as postal officials,
Also, they hope the new system
will result in what they call
“grass root, appointments for
grass root jobs.”
WAR DEPT. .
The Real Facts
WASHINGTON.—War Depart-
ment’s face was very rec this
week,
More than two weeks ago, in
testimony before the Ramspeck
Investigating Committee, Under-
Secretary Robert Patterson pre-
dicted that approximately 100,-
000 employees would be slashed
from the payroll in the next few
months,
Later, however, it turned out
that other department officials,
on almost the very same day had
gone before House Appropria-
tions Committee to request an
increase of 100,000 employees!
As nearly as anyone could
figure out at week's end, the
facts were these:
War Department, which now
has about 1,300,000 employees,
originally planned to build up to
1,500,000 plus during the fiscal
year which starts July 1. Later,
it decided to cut this estimate
by 84,000 civilians and 16,000
military people—a total of
100,000. That was what it in-
terpreted as a 100,000 cut.
POSTAL
Boys Wanted to
Do Man's Job
High school boys over 16, who
are looking for their summer job
may be able to find it at the Post
Office. To help meet draft
losses, the Post Office is taking
on extra help during the next
few months. Men up to 55 are
also eligible for these jobs.
The work will consist of sort-
ing mail in the post office, gen-
eral clerking and mail deliveries,
In addition, there may be some
chance to carry special delivery
letters (when there aren't any
substitutes who get first chance
around) at an extra 9 cents for
each piece delivered.
The rate of pay is 65 cents an
hour. To this is added the 15
percent bonus provided by postal
legislation, and another 10. per-
cent for night work.
Applications should be made to
Postmaster Albert Goldman, at
the General Post Office, Person-
nel Office, 7th Avenue and 33rd
Street.
Boys under 16 may be hired if
they have working papers. Amer-
ican citizenship is necessary, as
is good physical condition.
Subterfuge
The bill now passing through
Congress which raises the pay
of postal substitutes has local
postal circles angry.
“It’s a subterfuge,” they say.
“It's camouflage. “It’s de-
signed to bring more people into
the postal system on a tempor-
ary basis. It isolates our rights.”
The bill provides as follows:
1. A substitute starts at 65
cents an hour.
2. After he has put in 2,448
hours, he gets the same hour),
rate as a postman in the $1.70
class—but the number of houiry
he works a day or week still qe,
pends on luck,
3. Then his hourly rate grady,
ally increases until he gets t),
same pay as the top salarie,
regulars in the department.
Still Unpleasant
“But,” complain the postme),
“the subs still keep all the yn.
pleasant features of their job,
“They never know when they
will be called to work. They
never know what their earning, —
will be.” .
Last Sunday the Joint Con.
ference of Postal Employees of |
Greater New York, and invite
representatives of postal group,
on the East coast had a “sup.
stitute” conference in New York
City, and decided that the only
good “sub” is an “ex-sub,” ang
that the only solution to the sub.
stitute problem is to give aj)
full-time postal employees per.
manent status and end the sys.
tem whereby a man who enters
the service serves an indefinite
term in the vague substitute ca.
pacity, .
They are out to try and in.
fluence Congress to come across
with remedial legislation.

ReporterGoes Woozy From Trying
To Figure How Job-Freeze Works
MEMO TO THE EDITOR:
Dear Boss: When I came back to the office yester-
day I got your note that some City employees had been
jn and had complained they couldn't find out what they
nad to do to get away from their City jobs.
Now that
they've been frozen in their jobs since May 27, they need
a certificate of availability to take any other work. Of
course, they can take a 30-day unpaid vacation and then
another job, but that’s the hard way, I thought.
1 called the people you said I
should, and now I'm going into
the woods for a nervous break-
down. My only consolation is the
fact that I don't work for New
york City.
First, Marsh
Here's what happened:
17 called President Marsh of
the Municipal Civil Service
commission, “Simple,” said he.
“qf a city employee wants to
change his job, he applies to his
department head for a certificate
of availability.
“Then if the department head
denies the request, he can appeal
to Newbold Morris, who is at City
Hall and acts for the Mayor in
these matters,
“Then if Mr, Morris turns
down the request, he can appeal
to the War Manpower Commis-
sion at 11 West 42d Street.”
Thanks,” I said,

power Commission,
SANITATION
Kasoff in CIO
Blubber-headed, loud - mouth-
ed Abe Kasoff, long a hurricane
center in the Sanitation De-
partment, has joined the CIO,
The startling revelation was
made last week, ending a sav-
age feud that had existed be-
tween Kasoff and the State,
County and Municipal Workers
of America over a period of
years, In the course of this
feud, each side had attacked
the other in the harshest terms,
As a matter of fact, the SCMWA
was instrumental in exposing
many of the facts about Kasoff's
operations, and dug up much
of the dirt about goings-
on in the Sanitation Department.
Kasoff, often assuming the role
of spokesman for the Joint
Council of Drivers and Sweep-
ets, ad been a prime mover in
the attempt to prevent the CIO
group from or@anizing in Sa:
tation, Kasoff's own record in
cludes dismissal from the San-
tation Department under seri-
ous charges; then reinstatement
by the LaGuardia regime under
circumstances that have never
been fully explained. Kasoff
has been accused of holding out
moneys from widows, of using
Sttong-arm tactics, of ruthless-
'y crushing opposition groups.
A Kings County grand jury
slashed hard at him, describing
Nis activities with ugly words,
And the manner in which his or-
Banization’s funds were utilized
has been questioned.

ment would recognize only the
then-existing AFL organizations
as representing the men in the
department,
Kasoff, at a meeting of the
remnants of his organization,
suggested affiliation with the
SCMWA, At that time, SCOMWA
officials said: “We'll never take
him!"
The Rumors
This week, many rumors were
floating around the department
concerning Kasoff's tie-up with
the SCMWA,
Rumor 1. A deal was made
whereby Kaso// promised to de-
liver 3,000 Sanitation workers to
the CIO union.
SCMWA answer: “We've taken
Kasoff in only as an individual,
No deal was made.”
Rumor 2, Kaso// is about ready
to leave the Sanitation Depart-
ment, He has many debts, and
he'll receive a stipend as an or-
ganizer from the SCMWA.
SCMWA answer: “Kasoff is
not coming in as an organizer,
He'll get no money from us.”
James King, head of the New
York District of the SCMWA,
this week explained the action
in these words: “It doesn't
make any difference about the
past, so long as he keeps his
nose clean from now on. No,
we don't retract anything from
what we said tn the past about
Kasoff. We're organizing the
Sanitation “Department, and
Kasoff can come in just like
anybody else so long as he
abides by the rules and regu-
lations.”
Michael Morro, former col-
league of Kasoff's on the Joint
Council, retorted: “The men in
Sanitation ought to be careful.
Kasoff was suspended from the
AFL for non-payment of dues
before, and it's my opinion that
it will happen again.”
Last week, Kasoff sent a call
out to all his remaining stew-
ards advising them to bring his
membership, estimated at about
200 men, into the SCMWA.
Mail Business
So much mail leaves the of-
fice of the Sanitation Depart-
ment’s Finance Office these
days that it looks as though
they've gone into the mail busi-
ness. But here's what happened.
Harry Langdon, chief of the
office, began writing letters to
the boys who had left the de-
partment to serve Uncle Sam.
Then they began to write in
asking for more news about the
department, So pretty soon he
ple coming around in person: too
busy.)
3. If they deny the release,
you're just out of luck.
4. If they decide you're entitled
to take the other job, they then
have to submit a brief in writ-
ing for a conference between the
Mayor's office and the War Man-
power Commission,
In the meantime, job number
two is probably expected to sit
around and wait until the red
tape is cut. ,
But that isn’t all.
Just to make sure I called an-
other Manpower official, and he
said I had the story right. BUT
they don’t think the system is
working out, so they're going to
hold some conference with people
from civil service, U.S, and City;
from the Manpower Commission,
and with somebody from the
Mayor's office, probably Newbold
Morris. And maybe by next
week, they'll haye a new system
worked out,
Everybody says they're waiting
for Mayor LaGuardia. But one
official told me that the Man-
power Commission could act
without LaGuradia, if it wanted
to.
I know @ nice quiet spot near
Poughkeepsie, if anybody wants
to join me,
“Nope,” they said, “That's not know how you make out. (They Sincerely,
the way it works.”” don't want to be bothered by peo- REPORTER
Carey stating that the depart- found himself issuing regular
news letters.
He tells the boys all about
what's happening around 125
Worth Street and in the field.
He keeps them in touch with
each other by including items
about the service men. And to
make them feel better, he even
tells about the new 20 percent
tax that civilians have to pay.
He's gotten mail from 32
states, Alaska, 7 foreign coun-
tries, and three territories. In
fact, he received 37 letters in
the last 8 days.
And he’s compiled some fig-
ures from his mail about the
former Sanitation men in sery-
ice, Forty-five percent of the
clerical men have become of-
ficers, One grade 2 clerk, Frank
Toscani, has become a major,
and a grade 1 clerk, Lester
Kovar, is an ensign.
Batter Up!
A championship baseball game
between the Police and Sanita-
tion departments will be held at
the Yankee Stadium on Septem-
ber 19. Tickets, already on sale,
cost $1.10 and $2.20, and the
money goes to the Sanitation
Department's Welfare Fund.
CLERKS
New System
For the Grade 1's
There are a lot of people on
the list of those who have passed
the test for jobs with the City
as clerk, grade 1, There are a
lot of City departments which
have vacancies for new clerks.
‘To bring the job and the new
employee together, here's what
the Commission is doing:
A batch of persons from the
top of the list are invited down
to the Commission's offices.
Representatives of the various
City departments meet them
there.
A list of the vacancies is put
on a blackboard, and starting
with the top person on the list.
they are allowed to pick their
department. The department
representative interviews them
on the spot.
This eliminates the confusion
which formerly existed when
people on a list for which they
were many openings had to shop
around from one office to an-
other till they found a place they
thought they'd like. And then,
they'd often get a call from an-
other bureau and want to change
over,
NAVY YARD GAZETTE
This is the fourth of The LEADER'S new column for
Navy Yard workers.
Suggestions, criticisms, and letters
from Navy Yard employees are welcome.
When Americans
Get Going
Very noticeable throughout
the Navy Yard is the large va-
riety of uniforms with the pre-
vious employer's name printed
on the backs. From all walks
of life they come here, and for
a common cause. It's not an
uncommon sight to see a ma-
chinist with “Joe's Filling Sta-
tion” stamped on his shirt while
next to him a burner has “Cur-
ley’s Frozen Custard’ on his.
Ex-WPA workers predominate,
but not far behind are clerks,
chauffeurs, barbers, teachers,
waiters and even showgirls, All
proving that given the oppor-
tunity to learn, Americans are
the most adaptable persons on
earth,
Many are here as the result
of a rapid war training course—
and the lesson we have learned
at the Navy Yard is that pre-
vious occupation is no hindrance
if a person is willing to learn.
The fact that this country is
said to be reaching the peak of
her productive capacity shows
what Americans are able to do
once they have set their hearts
and minds to it, but as far as
this writer is concerned there
can be no peak of production
for Americans, and as long as
they feel that there is yet a
greater effort left in them the
peak will not be attained, This
applies to the N.Y, Navy Yard
in particular because the general
sentiment of the workers is that
production and efficiency can
be increased by a percentage
almost too daring to mention.
Unnecessary
Wastage of Metal
Leading in unnecessary wast-
age of metal is the welding rod.
Practically every metal recep-
tacle has some and most of
them cannot be salvaged again,
Brand new ones lie about the
yard in the most unusual places.
‘There is no excuse for it.. You
and you and you are paying for
them, so won't you be more
careful?
see
There is no doubt about it.
The unanimous opinion is that
our sailors present the neatest
appearance and our marines are
the best disciplined. Any chal-
lenges?
«
Send in Your
Rules and Rhymes
The many new safety rules
and rhymes our safety engineers
have had painted around the
yard are interesting and we
can't have too many of them,
but how about some original
ones from the workers them-
selves? They are the ones who
get hurt, Why not give them
the satisfaction of seeing their
own rules displayed? Send them
in, fellows.
We Throw Around
Some Compliments
It's about time someone com-
plimented the paymaster's of-
fice for always being on time
with the checks come payday,
Good work!
Talking about compliments,

able assistant, Miss McWilliams,
are doing a terrific job handling
all those new applications since
the beginning of the war, so
when you new employees think
back on that first sickening day
of red tape at the Labor Board
office, remember that the em-
ployees at the Board have it
every day.
That Slice ,
In the Paycheck |
It's an unfortunate coincidence
that most of the yard should go
on an eight-hour day about the
same time those extra income
taxes are to be taken out. We
know that the idea of working
only eight hours is a welcome
one, but when one thinks of the
Slice in that weekly paycheck it
is rather discouraging. We know
that as a result of this there is
a lot of talk about cutting oub
those war bonds—but remember
that every dollar you put away
in bonds today will be worth
more when the time comes to
collect. And as for what those
war bonds mean to your govern=
ment, you don’t have to be told,
In the Master Shipfitter’s recent
message concerning war bonds a
complete list is published show-
ing what each salary category
should put aside weekly for
bonds. What Mr. O'Connor
doesn’t seem to realize is that
it isn’t possible to publish such
a list with any degree of ac-
curacy because if one shipfitter
has twice as many expenses as
another he is not going to pur-
chase as many bonds,
Nothing to Joke About
There seems to be a standard
joke about the 90 day wonders
(graduated ensigns) who make
constant tours around the yard
endeavoring to become familiar
with all phases of naval life. AU
you who make disparaging re-
marks about them should con-
sider that they are offering their
lives for their country as well as
their skill,
If those excursion boats come
any closer to the yard as they
pass up and down the river it
will be possible to charge them
admission for sightseeing.

Wonder Wh
They Do It
Some persons are getting into
the habit of borrowing a bicycle
that they see lying idly about,
and using it for their own
transportation without permis-
sion, after which they leave it
near their destination. Mean-
while the owner has to spend
much time trying to locate the
bike and if he doesn't find it
he has to answer for it, How

Admiral’s House
Makes the Movies
With permission of the Navy
Department, an admiral's resi-
dence that is situated in the

ling In The Dark,” featuring

that Red gets into an awful lot
of trouble in that house. It's
too bad he didn’t think about

duty outside the house, to help
him out of his difficulties,

Here’s How the Gasoline Situation Hits
Employees in the N. Y. City Departments
While other departments are
crying about the gasoline situa-
tion, the Manhattan Borough
President's Office has sat down
and tackled the problem.
No trucks of the office will
run on Fridays.
For the emergency, the hun-
dred granite paving block men
and concrete laborers have
agreed to work a longer four-
day week instead of the pre-
vious five days. This, and the
use of muscle power instead of
the power operated buckets to
clean sewer catch-basins, have
resulted in a 46 percent savings
PUBLIC WORKS
They Test Value
New York City, next to the
Federal Government, is the larg-
est purchaser of building mi
terials in the country.
And not only the people who
work for the City, but also the
materials have to pass their civil
service test. The Material Sec-
tion of the Department of Public
Works, with a staff of eight en-
gineers and architects headed by
William 8. Elliott, who sits in a
corner of the office surrounded
by his engineering diplomas,
makes sure that fireproofing ma-
terials won't burn. They know
that when the City buys a girder
it will hold up a building and
that when they buy a mirror, it
will be clear.
And to make sure that the en-
gineers and architects who work
for the City don’t have to depend
on the sales talks of manufac-
turers when it comes to picking
out materials, they have set up
their own offices as an exhibit of
all the different types of ma-
terials and office furniture which
the City can buy.
They Got "Em Showing
The floors are covered with
sections of all the different types
and colors of floor covering, The
walls change every few feet to
show the different types of pan-
els and wall materials which are
in the market. Even the ceiling
is a display of various sound-
proofing coverings.
And thanks to manufacturers,
they have a collection of modern
office equipment which would be
the envy of many departments,
but a lot of the stuff is out for
the duration.
And the effect of the war on
offces is apparent. The windows
show a collection of different
types of black-out screens, and
one exhibit is a black-out lamp
brought over from England.
For post-war plans, the City
has outlined a $700,000,000 build-
ing program, and this agency
will assure that the money will
bring the best value in the
market, Representatives of the
bureau also visit factories and
check the production of material
which the City buys. After it is
purchased, they test it at the
Jaboratories of the Borough
President of Queens.
CORRECTION
New Organization
Stating that approximately 50
percent of the 400 civilian mem-
bers of the department are on
their roster, the Civil Employees
Association of the Department of
Correction is drumming for more
membership.
At an organizational meeting
held last week, the following
members were chosen as officers
of she group: James Stack,
president; Robert Walmsley, 1st
vice-president; Miss Rose Comte,
2nd vice-president; William Her-
lan, treasurer; Dugald A, Wade,
reqording secretary; Harris Per-
lis, publicity secretary, and An-
thony Buonomo, sergeant-at-
arms; Miss Marjorie M. Cassidy,
John Muller and James E, El-
liott, trustees.
The stated purpose of the
group is “to work for the better-
ment of the civilian employees
in the department.”
in gasoline without affecting the
emergency repair service of the
department. And with their
next paychecks, these men will
get a note from the Borough
President thanking them for
their cooperation with the war
effort.
Not For Parades
Hospitals, Health, Fire, Hous-
ings and Buildings, and the
Comptroller's Office, and school
relief, have not been cut. All
other departments were slashed
according to the essentiality of
their service, City gas won't
be used for any future parades
Civil Service
Casualty No. 1
John P. McLean of 31 West
99th Street, New York City, is
@ civil service casualty of the
war and it happened like this:
Last December, McLean was
given a “duration appoint-
ment” as an elevator operator
and was assigned to the State
Capitol. He was on the regu-
lar civil service list for per-
manent appointment and had
qualified by competitive ex-
amination, but the best op-
portunity that came along
was the one calling for a sub-
stitute for an operator who
had been drafted.
So McLean took it.
Then the list expired, after
four years.
Then the man whose place
McLean was filling by “dura-
tion appointment” came back
trom the war. He was one
of the “over-age’ fellows and
returned to state service be-
cause state service was con-
strued by the War Manpower
Commission as an “essential
activity.”
So McLean was notified he
was through,
During the months that all
this was taking place, several
vacancies occurred in elevator
positions, They were filled by
the Superintendent of Public
Buildings by appointment of
“provisionals” for the dura-
tion. But McLean, although
once having qualified by
examination for the job, and
after having filled it in a sat-
isfactory manner for several
months, can't get an appoint-
ment now.
Civil service offictals say:
“There's nothing you can
do about it. The list expired.
The duration appointment
ended when the regular oper-
ator returned, McLean is just
out of luck.”
So McLean, an innocent by-
stander, is a civil service
casualty of the war.
TAXES
Seizing Your Pay
ALBANY.—If you are a State
employee and get into a broil
with Uncle Sam over your Fed-
eral income tax return, you may
find your pay seized and held by
the State Comptroller until such
time as the amount equals what-
ever the Federal government
claims is due. This might serve
as a precedent for New York City
employees,
That's the gist of a decision by
the Attorney General placed in
the hands of the State Comp-
troller, It advises the Comp-
troller to hold up the pay—all of
it — of any employee against
whom the Collector of Internal
Revenue has filed a notice of
levy,
The question arose as the Fed-
eral government moved in, for
the first time, to seize the pay of
an employee for alleged delin-
quent income taxes, The Comp-
troller wanted to know what he
should do and the Attorney Gen-
eral told him to play safe and
hold up the employee's pay. The
Department of Audit and Con-
trol now makes many deductions

or demonstrations, and a lot of
commissioners will have to re~
learn the art of getting from
one place to another by subway.
Mr. Edwin A, Salmon, fuel
and gasoline administrator for
the City, reports that before any
gas cuts were made, the de-
partment was consulted to make
sure that the cut in gas allow-
ance wouldn't make it sneces-
sary to drop any workers.
The biggest cut was made in
those big private cars with the
NYC tags on the back.
And cars are being pooled to
assure the maximum use of
each gallon of gas.
cent of the pay check.
But Uncle Sam is going to grab
all—until his debt is paid, and he
has found a way to do it.
The Attorney General held
that if there is any dispute it
must be settled in court between
the government and the em-
ployee.

ally by appointment of John A.
Ruskowski, pending the exam-
ination and establishment of a
list.

Limited Service Explained
I've been asked to explain about “Limited Service” in
the Army.
This phrase refers to those Army jobs performed by
men who can’t take on full combat duty.
Men who appear at the Selective Service Induction
centers and have minor physical handicaps which pre-
yent their performance of full military duty, but which
are not serious enough to warrant their deferment, are
accepted for limited service. y
Then the Army attempts to find places for them in
its setup. Limited service men are generally assigned to
clerical or administrative work. Numbers of them find
themselves in the Quartermaster Corps, the Adjutant
General’s Department, and in the newly organized
Transportation Corps.
No Soft Berth.
But the fact that the new inductee is classified as
“Limited Service” does not mean that he will find him-
self a soft berth in a camp or Army office in the United
States,
Limited Service men are being sent overseas to
handle the numerous jobs necessary to assure that the
fighting men will have their supplies, and to organize
the huge mass of paper work which is necessary in the
Army.
Men who are classified as “Limited Service” are not
now being accepted by the Navy or the Marine Corps,
though they may be before the end of the year. The
Marines, however, have a group of class “4” men, gen-
erally former Marines who are over the active age limit,
but who have rejoined the force in non - combatant
capacities,
The fact that a man has been assigned to limited
service does not bar him from attaining officer status.
Men Over 35
The official booklet of Army regulations on Officer
Candidate Schools provides that qualified limited service
men, and men over 35 years of age will be given prefer-
ence for enrollment in the Army Administration Officer
Candidate School. Commanding officers are instructed
to exercise special care in selecting applicants who be-
cause of age, physical condition, experience or training
are better qualified as administrative officers than as
combat leaders. _
College training will also help you get into O.C\S.,
4s will your past experience in the business world which
is considered by the board of officers who interview you
when your O.C.S. application is being considered.
Men with experience in business administration,
transportation, personnel management, industrial engi-
neering, public utilities, or any administrative field will
lind that their qualifications are needed.
But, the rate at which officers are being trained is
decreasing. Several Administration Schools have already
been closed down. There is still some chance, however,
that the men inducted now will wear the bars of rank.
Basic Training?
And the other question which limited service men
ask, “Will I have to undergo basic training?” To that
the answer has to be yes and no. Some men are assigned
to duties directly from the Reception Center (Upton and
Fort Dix in this area.) Others are sent to camps where
they can take their basic training.

Nothing Yet
One of the outcomes of the
difficulties between the Board of
Transportation and its employ-
ees was the suggestion that a
new deputy commissioner be ap-
pointed in the Board to have
charge of labor relations,
In the mysterious way that
such things happen, soon every-
body knew that City Magistrate
Edward C. Maguire would get
the spot. His office is ready for
him. All the legal technicalities
have been complied with. But
nothing is being done about
moving him into the office which
has been readied for his use.

Some employees of the Board
of Transportation are mutter-
ing that life in the transit sys-
tem isn’t a bed of roses,
Here's their latest cry.
They're getting the pay raise
on July 1, which makes them
happy.
But they've just been notified
that they won't get as much
overtime work now as they did
formerly.
It isn't a plot of the powers-
that-be to cut down their pay-
check. In summertime, there is
less platform work because
school is out. Then, some women
have been hired recently, and
other help has been taken on,
So the whole picture adds up to
Jess need for overtime hours.

WhatCityEmployees Think
AboutCouncilInvestigation
The Council investigation of
the administration is a pretty
leading subject of conversation
arouna the Municipal Building,
and this seems to be about the
concensus of opinion, as gathered
by a LEADER reporter from civil
employees.
J —The Council investigators
won't get much on the
Mayor. He's too smart or too
honest. They'll have to give
him a clean bill of health.
(This opinion is not universally
shared, however.)
Q—But in some of the depart-
ments they will find mat-
ters to criticize and will probably
be able to make some sort of a
splash in the papers about in-
efficiency here and there, and
cases of nepotism.
—And here is the danger
which City employees fear:
When the irregularities (prob-
ably no worse than could be un-
covered in any business as large
as New York City) are made
public, then some underpaid City
employees may be made the
“fall-guys” and will be expected
to take the blame for things,
seaving the higher-ups lily-white,
Employee organizations so far
won't talk for the record about
the investigation.
Members of the Council's in-
vestigating committee sounded
cockily confident. Chairman
Walter Hart said: “I'd rather
have it thought it’s a fishing
expedition. Then we won't be
bothered so much and we'll be
able to really show up the rotten
mess in the administration.
Hart looks upon the Mayor
as a sly, dangerous foe. “We're
fighting the entire City adminis-
tration,” he told The LEADER,
“all the departments. The Mayor
has unlimited funds. He has the
power to frustrate the investiga-
tion. Our foes will stop at nothing,
and they have no fear in their
make-up.”
Councilman Louis Cohen, com-
nenting on aspects of the probe
“other than our actual informa-
tion,’ stated emphatically that
“we're not interested in little
things. If we wanted to go into
small matters, we have more
than 1,000 letters of complaints
from City employees with re-
spect to civil service matters
alone. We have big things on
the fire—bigger than Mayor La-
Guardia or Commissioner Her-
lands realize. I can tell you
this,” he added significantly, “if
they interfere with witnesses or
tamper with papers, we'll send
them to jail!”
Cohen said that Sanita, the
Sanitation Department's summer
home, is “only a drop compared
to what we've really got on that
department. And, what's more,
not after the little fel'o
There are too many big fish in-
volved. Sanitation is only a be-
ginning.
PROMOTIONS
How They Work
In general, promotions in the
City service are made on a de-
partmental basis.

For Women,
Not So Good
The Board of Transportation
is trying to get women workers
to help meet the loss of men to
the draft and to private industry.
Their trouble is that the State
Labor laws require special treat-
ment for women in such matters
as private rest rooms, etc., and
when the subways were original-
ly laid out, the designers didn't
plan for co-ed employees.
And the women who are being
taken on are being hired on a
temporary basis for the duration,
with little prospects at present
for advancement or for perma-
nent jobs.
Jobs Open
One job open at present is for
Maintainer's Helper at 75 cents
an hour, to clean, test and check
electrical equipment. The Board
requires some knowledge of ar-
ithmetic, algebra, trigonometry,
and physics for these jobs, about
five of which are open at the
53rd Street Building of the
Board. Application should be
filed in person at the Employ-
ment Office, Room 1, 250 Hud-
son Street.
Other jobs for which applica-
tions are being accepted from
women are:
Railroad Clerks (change boths)
63 cents an hour.
Porters, 6242 cents an hour,
Streetcar Operators, 80 cents
an hour.
Car Cleaners, 65 cents an hour.

The Army base in Brooklyn
still needs more laborers and is
in the market for 50 men over

in 1-A who haven't yet received
their Army induction order.
The work is pretty heavy, and
men who apply will get a phy-
sical examination to make sure
that they can handle the jobs.
‘The salary is $1,620 a year. The
base is working on a six-day 48-
hour week, with time and a half
for overtime after forty hours.
The appointments come under
civil service, and the jobs will
probably last for the duration
for those men who aren't

nmanced from current revenues.
Docks, subways and water sup-

percent of the five years’ aver-
age assessed valuations. This
limitation excludes certain items
such as water supply, transit,
etc.

mal day to day expense of run-
ning the City is fixed annually
in the City’s Expense Budget.
This budget is prepared as fol-
lows:
a. Each department submits
to the Budget Director its re-
quests for personnel, supplies
and equipment for the coming
fiscal year.
b. The Budget Director and
the Mayor on the basis of these
requests and money available
make ur the Executive Budget
for the entire City.
c. This then goes to the Board
of Estimate which, after a pub-
lic hearing, can make changes
and adopt it.
d. It then goes to the City
Council where, after a public
hearing, it may be reduced but
not increased,
e. It is then returned to the
Mayor, who can veto any cuts
made by the Council. The veto
can be overridden by a three-
quarter vote of the Council.
Changes in the budget during
the year within a department
can be approved by the Budget
Director. Other changes by the
Board of Estimate.
2. Capital Outlay Budget
This is the budget for the
construction of buildings,
bridges, docks, tunnels, etc.
This budget is prepared by the
City Planning Commission which
prepares a budget for one year,
and a program for six years.
The Mayor, on the basis of the
Comptroiler’s advice, fixes the
amount of money to be spent.
The City Planning Commission
prepares a budget and holds
public hearings. It must then
be adopted by the Board of Es-
timate and the City Council

THE JOB MARKET
By MRS. MATILDA B. MILLER
The Job Market 1s designed to
help readers and jobs get to-
gether. The positions listed are
gathered from advertisements
of all the newspapers, periodi-
cals and communication with
personnel managers. These
jobs are analyzed and arranged
in categories which will be
most helpful as a basis for se-
lection. However, it is wise to
read the entire column rather
than limit yourself to any one
item.
It is impossible to investigate
thoroughly each position nor is
it always possible to foretell how
soon they may be filled. We
suggest that you mention The

any of these positions.

Tuesday, June 29, 1943
Off Our Chest
Es, two weeks, the State Civil Service Commis-
sion issues a progress report on examinations for
which the lists haven’t yet appeared, A reading of
this report seems to indicate that something is seriously
wrong. Let’s take a look at the current listing. The
Motor Vehicle License Examiner test was held on Febru-
ary 14, 1942—nearly a year and a half ago—and still
there’s no list on it. Eight thousand two hundred and
sixty persons took that test, and they're waiting. A pro-
motion test in the title of Assistant Typist, Assistant
Clerk, and Assistant Dictating Machine Transcriber, De-
partment of Taxation and Finance, was held September
19, 1942; a promotion test for Kitchen Keeper, Depart-
ment of Correction, was held March 27, 1942. A number
of tests held more than a year ago aren't even mentioned
in the progress report.
What's the reason for these lengthy delays?
ONE SOMETIMES WONDERS whether it is callous-
ness, inefficiency, or sheer stupidity that actuates certain
public officials in their dealings with employees. This
sour reflection is brought about by the situation that
New York employees are completely strait-jacketed by
the job-freeze—in a manner that no other employees
are. And since May 27, when the job-freeze went into
effect, Mayor LaGuardia, Newbold Morris, Harry Marsh,
and officials of the War Manpower Commission have
meandered around accomplishing nothing to clarify the
matter. As this newspaper has reported, the City em-
ployee desiring a “statement of availability,” or release
to take another job, gets nothing but a runaround. This,
despite the fact that a good functional system of clear-
ing appeals on releases has been established for Federal
employees and for those in private industry.
- Last week, the officials finally patched up a make-
shift arrangement by which a City employee unable to
obtain a release from his department could go to the
War Transfer Unit of the Federal Commission for appeal.
If the U.S. officials O.K. the appeal, however, Mayor
LaGuardia still wants veto power What's more, out
of four officials directly concerned, who were inter-
viewed by The LEADER, four different versions came
out describing the manner in which the plan would
work. “And,” one of them added, “it will probably all
be changed by next Tuesday, anyway.”
Ah, the pleasure of working for the City!

Liquor selling at burglar-
prices in places like Buffalo and
other New York State war plant
centers is worrying Governor
Dewey plenty. The inside word
is that he’s told State Liquor
Chief John O'Connell to watch
what's happening on liquor
prices and bootlegging. Reason:
A liquor scandal in NY State
might arouse a howl from the
drys, which might have a dis~
astrous effect on a Prospective

THE NEWS that New York
City is blessed with an “avail-
able supply of labor” and is
thus in line for additional war
contracts, comes straight from
Joseph O'Connor, pleasant, gray-
ing assistant director of the
War Manpower Commission for
the New York area.
It is up to Mr. O'Connor and
his staff to ease situations in
critical areas and to steer war
production to regions better able
to cope with problems such as
housing, transportation and
training of incoming employees.
Second in command under
Mrs. Anna M, Rosenberg, Mr.
O'Connor must tackle labor
shortages in ingenious ways.
Recently, in Buffalo, he dis-
tributed questionnaires to women
residents concerning their avail-
ability for war work, This
naturally brought up other prob-
lems — child-care, and employee
training facilities. Should addi-
tional help have to be solicited
from outside areas, adequate
housing would have to be pro-
vided in advance, Thus Mr,
O'Connor must shoulder an end-
less cycle of responsibilities
upon which hinges the entire
manpower setup in New York
State.
City Still O.K,
At present, however, no criti-
cal situation exists in this city.
There is adequate housing and
manpower to meet the demands
of incoming war contracts.
Most of the problems arising
here, Mr. O'Connor points out,
are linked to the non-essential
industries, currently suffering a
labor shortage because of lower
pay, inferior conditions and the
general trend to switch over to
defense work, Conferences held
with representatives of these
and other industries tend to iron
out difficulties wherever pos-
sible.
When a production area en-
ters the critical stage, many in-
dustries once termed “non-
essential” become reclassified as
“necessary.” Thus, a laundry in
New York City is not considered
necessary, while in Buffalo it is.
By conforming to certain mini-
mum WMC standards regarding
wages and hours, a formerly
non-essential industry will be
able to retain its employees in
a critical area, where it was once
unable to do so.
What to Do
In general, Mr. O'Connor sug-
gests that employers cooperate
of the week. Now comes the
final straw. We will be the first
ones to lose our jobs,
If The LEADER fights for
justice, as it usually does, this
seems to be a good case to
work on. L. D
Many opinions have come in
as a result of The LEADER'S
article of last week on post-war
civil service. The one above is
typical. There is no question
that a problem of enormous di-
mensions is presented here—and
no one has even begun to give
the right answer.—Editor.

We. overheard a cotiple of pa-
trolmen the other day, discuss-
ing the pros and cons of the
wiform as a crime deterrent.
One of them, a young fellow,
stoutly insisted there was noth-
ing like a uniform to create re-
spect for law and order, Why,
the mere presence of an of-
ficially clad officer of the law,
he said, was enough to put
the fear of God into the heart
of a would-be lawbreaker.
He was “told off” though, and
by an elderly chap—one who'd
vaced the uniform for many
a year—that records proved ar-
ts made by men in mufti were
more important than the run-
of-the-mill type. Often caught
by men o”* duty, criminals were
taken unawares, because of the
absence of the uniform. The
older patrolman suggested that
the presence of men in civilian
clothes throughout certain sec-
tions might preyent crime be-
cause of the wrongdoer’s ignor-
ance as to “who was who.”
There may be more to be said
for both points of view. Let's

Appeal’s summer schedule, it
may be several weeks yet be-
fore a decision is reached.
ergeants Speak Up
The last regular meeting of
the Sergeant’s Benevolent Asso-
ciation for the 1942-43 season
will be held in the Chelsea
Room, third floor, Hotel Gover-
nor Clinton, 31st Street and
Seventh Avenue, Manhattan,
Thursday evening at 6:60 p. m.,
July 2.
We received this interesting
bit in a letter from the Sergeant's
Association.
“The Sergeant's Association is
an organization run on demo-
cractic principles. You do not
have to be a delegate to attend
the regular meetings, Any mem-
ber in good standing can voice his
opinion and vote on all matters
brought to the attention of the
organization.
“The Sergeant's Association
played an important part in the
Police and Fire Conference's ac-
tion in preventing legislative
matters that were detrimental to
the rank of Sergeant in the Po-
lice Department, being passed by
the Legislature at Albany.
Among them was the bill per-
mitting temporary policemen be-
ing appointed to all ranks and
another which would have per-
mitted promotion without Civil
Service examination.”
All Sergeants who took the
last Civil Service Promotion test
to the rank of Lieutenant are
asked to attend the Thursday
meeting to learn about the Civil
Service Commission's ruling on
that examination.
Not Many Want
Duration Cop Jobs
The City Civil Service Commis-
sion is still accepting applica-
tions for the duration jobs as
policemen and firemen at its
96 Duane Street office.
Meanwhile, men who passed
the previous written examina-
tion are being called in for their
medical and physical tests,
which are being given at the
Commission's offices,
The Commission hasn't yet
decided when it will give tests
to the men whose applications
are being taken now, or whether
it will give the written or the
physical tests first.
And the men who are filing
applications for these jobs aren't
the 38-45-year-old group which
is being sought.

jective civil service news, written
in simple understandable style—

OVERTIME
For City People?
One complaint of City employ-
ees has been the fact that they
do not receive overtime pay for
overtime work. The system calls
for time off, but with the man-
power shortage some employees
have been piling up overtime
work for months without oppor-
tunity to take the time off. And
they have been jealous of private
industry workers who can count
on overtime pay to help meet
rising costs of living.
At last week's Council meeting
@ bill to allow overtime pay for
City employees was introduced
by Council members William
Carroll and Dorothy Byrnes.
The bill provides for overtime
pay at time-and-a-half for:
1, All work over 40 hours a
week.
2, All work over eight hours in
any one day.
3. Work on legal holidays.
And as is usual in such cases,
the bill was referred to the
Council Committee on Civil Em-
ployees where it may share the
fate of many other bills intro-
duced for the benefit of public
workers and die a slow death.
But the State, County and Mu-
nicipal Workers of America, CIO,
which says it was instrumental
in having the bill introduced, in-
dicates that it will start a cam-
paign to have the bill brought up.
CALENDAR
Conductors Can't
Be Patrolmen
Here are some actions affect-
ing government employees and
eligibles, taken by the Municipal
Civil Service Commission on its
calendar last week:
Decided not to use the eligible

men.
OK'd the list for Cement

ments for maintenance men at

Transportation to take the ex-
amination for promotion to

Plications to take the test pend-
ing determination of their. ap-
peals with respect to classifica-
tion.
The City Housing Service has
also been reorganized by the
City Civil Service Commission.
The Commission action reclassi-
fying the positions provides that

By ARTHUR LIEBERS
Welcome to
New York
Greetings to all you new-
comers to Veterans Administra-
tion. This reporter who spends
his time writing about the Vets
and their troubles and joys
hopes that you'll be very happy
in the Big City.
But here are a few words of
advice garnered from the old-
timers who have learned from
experience all the ins and outs
of life at 346 Broadway:
—Get yourself a good supply
of bicarbonate of soda. You'll
have a half hour for lunch. Un-
til you Jearn to push your way
into an elevator, you'll spend
five minutes waiting. Then
you'll finally find a place to
grab some food, and while
you're eating your conscience
will be bothering you because
there will be people standing
behind you waiting for your
seat. And in the end you will
probably join the “bottle of soda
and piece of candy and apple”
luncheon club on the lower level.
2—1f you have any gambling
instincts, you can join the
penny pitching tournament on
the Leonard Street side of the
building.
3—B5uy a good comfortable pair
of shoes, You'll spend a
good part of your life at Vets
dashing down stairs to get in
line somewhere before everybody
else, or joining the stampede
from the front doors to the
elevator.
4 M's Possible
here. A lot
to” enjoy life
of people are
happy. To get the most out
of things try to get acquainted
with your fellow-workers and
don't get frozen in a little clique.
5—Prepare to imagine that you
are back in public school.
Lots of the supervisors are for-
mer school teachers, and they
live by the rule book.
6 —Femember the “no smoking”
rule except on the lower
floors.
—(Ady.) Read The LEADER
each week to keep in touch
with what's happening.

The Violent Vets softball team
met the Internal Revenue squad
and won a, bitter battle, 6-1. In
their last match, the Tax boys
mopped up the Vets, but there's
a story behind that.
The Vets figured that if they
scheduled a game right at the
end of the tax collection period
they would have easy pickings.
But somehow the boys who get
the Money for Uncle Sam came
out on top.
And about that challenge
from the Gals, the boys say
it’s all a bluff and the girls
haven't even got a team.
Well Gals, if you want to
show up the male sex, here's

Complaint Bureau
Out of the mailbox comes let-
ters from Vets who aren't happy
about something, and here is
this week's selection:
From Miss Prince's Section 4,
I hear that when a typist has to
leave the room, she has to sign
in and out. When reviewers
and examiners have to leave,
they merely nod at the super-
visor on the way out. The typ-
ists are pretty annoyed by what
they consider kindergarten tac-
tics. Maybe the girl who called
the Section “a concentration
camp” put it a little strongly,
but they're not happy there.
Jottings
One of the messengers created
a minor sensation t’other day
when he pushed a handcart
right through Mr. Harley's of-
fice without batting an eyelash.
He’s the gentleman known to
his friends as “Cupid.”
There was a nice turnout of
Vets at the recent “Negro Free-
dom Rally” at Madison Square
Garden, and a contribution to
the cause from the employees of
Vets was announced over the
loudspeaker. . . .
The other hot Sunday a gang
from Mrs. Peaks section on the
4th Floor, took a ride up the
Hudson River and stopped at
Indian Point. They danced, and
swam, and speedboated, and
rowboated, and all fifty of them
had a grand time. .. . Might be
a good idea for some of the
other sections to get together
and do the same thing . . .
Muriel Gold and Lottie Newman
sponsored this trip.
I hear that one gal in Pre-
liminary Operations calls Mr.
Reichert a “hunny bunny”. .
but not when he’s around,
Paul Strum, the big boy who
used to manage the softball
team is now working for our
mutual uncle. He was in the
enlisted reserve and got his
call.
T've been promised a very
funny story in a few weeks, All
about how a man became an
ex-Vet.
More Winners
For the benefit of the new-
comers, this column had a little
contest to select the gals with
the most of everything, and
here are a few more selected by
the votes of their friends at 346:

I'm really sorry to see that so
many of you kids have joined
the “button up your lip” associa~
tion. The supervisors may not
enjoy having their little antics
appear in print, but in lots of
cases, after this corner printed a
note, then conditions improved.

WELFARE
Present,
But Absent
qghe recently issued summer
gcnedule of the Welfare Depart-
“ent calls for a skeleton staff
work on Saturdays during the
gmmer months. But according
fo the latest notice to come down
about these Saturdays, you can
te off on the day that you're
supposed to be off, and still be
qnarged for a day’s absence.
Here's how it works:
yf you're absent for more than
three days in one week, you're
charged with a Saturday ab-
gence
staff members who are absent
on the Saturday that they are
gneduled to be on duty are
tnarged for the day’s absence
iseems fair enough).
Employees absent on a Friday
gnd the following working day,
gre charged for the Saturday ab-
fence—whether or not they are
seneduled to work that day.
Absence for sick leave or per-
wnal business just before a va-
fation will include the Satur-
day between the absence and the
beginning of the vacation.
Comments among employees
indicate that the Welfare staff
jn't too enthusiastic about this
jalest administrative gesture.
Ratings Revised
The City Civil Service Com-
mission has granted the appeals
fo two employees of the De-
partment of Welfare from their
savice ratings. Louis Rakens-
berg, 8 bookkeeper, grade 1; and
Nichols Lea, typist, grade 1, had
their rating revised last week,
Who Gets Credit?
Like birds in the nest, the dif-
ferent employee groups in the
Department of Welfare do not
agree
They had a meeting in Com-
missioner Leo Arnstein’s office
last week to discuss how to di-
vide credit for departmental em-
ployee contributions to the Labor
War chest,
The Commissioner was in
Suanac at the time. First Dep-
\ly Commissioner Edward Early
Rhatigan opened the meeting
with a few well chosen words
and beat it,
Director of Staff and Commu-
nity Relations Edith Alexander
was also absent.
ms they were on the way
{0 agreeing to divide the credit
for the contribution according to
the number of employees in each
ganization, Then came the
Muestion of exactly how many
Members each group had, and
the meeting dissolved slowly. No
decision was arrived at.

HEALTH
W hat Goes On?
“There are at present from
twenty to thirty provisional em-
ployees working in the Health
Department's Bureau of Records
who have on many occasions
been given preference over reg-
ular civil service employees when
it came to making assignments
to the desk job," a civil service
employee charges. “While the
provisional employee is able to
sit down and do his work, the
regular civil service clerk must
do the more arduous tasks, such
as searching,” the complaint
continues,
Asked to comment on the
charge, Dr. Frank A. Calderone,
Deputy Commissioner of the De-
partment of Health, explained
that the job of searching is one
of the most difficult and special-
ived in the department. It is
absolutely just, he said, that
the experienced employee should
do this kind of work, because
it is beyond the capacity and
knowledge of the provisional
man,
However, employees at the
Health Department's Bureau of
Records insist the job of search-
ing does not require particular-
ly specialized training.
Issuance of Orders
Another charge against the
department states that orders
have been issued by a “Chief
Clerk” of the Bureau of Rec-
ords rather than by the City
Clerk, who, according to the
rules and regulations of the
City department, must register
all orders before they are is-
sued,
Accusing the complainant of
being absolutely unreasonable,
Dr. Calderone pointed out that
the highest source for issuing
orders usually designates certain
people to make his provisions
public. It is understood that
no order is issued without the
necessary authority. Titles given
these designated individuals,
such as “Chief Clerk" are mere-
ly office titles and do not in-
dicate that the order emanates
from them.
Out of Title?
Most striking was the state-
ment by an employee that
“there is in charge of the Bu-
vreau of Records a 2nd grade
clerk who is designated as Chief
Clerk of the Bureau of Records.
At the same time there are men
working in the bureau who haye
higher titles, such as 3rd, 4th
or even 5th grade clerks, who
have been in the department
many years before the present
‘chief clerk.’”
Dr, Calderone did not deny
the fact that such a situation
existed, He hinted simply that
the department had to work
people out of, title.

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER
WASHINGTO!
SKETCH |
WASHINGTON—War Produc-
Board has a new idea. As an ex-
» periment, it plans to place small,
three-minute hour glasses on the
desks beside telephones in sey-
eral divisions to encourage em-
ployees to make their long dis~
tance calls as brief as possible.
The idea originated in WPB's
Philadelphia office. Officials say
that if every WPB call could be
limited to three minutes, Uncle
Sam would save $750,000 per
year.
« Civil Service Commission is
considering revising its separa~
tion system for Federal em-
ployees. The big question: How
much weight to give to experi-
ence, and how much to give to
lency ratings and other fac-
... An unprecedented log-
jam in appropriation bills pend-
ing before Congress has Federal
agencies badly worried. Some of
them may have a hard time
meeting their forthcoming pay-
rolls. . . . Here's one you prob-
ably didn’t realize: That the Gov-
ernment has 169,390 employees
who serve at a dollar-a-year or
without any pay whatever!
* That new withholding tax
won't increase your taxes—at
least not immediately. The in-
crease will come next March 15
when you have to shell up 12.5
percent of one year's taxes. That
represents one-half of the por-
tion of your taxes which. was
NOT forgiven. . . . Incidentally,
don’t expect the new tax to be
taken out of the very first pay-
check you get in July, In most
cases, it will first be deducted
from checks paid July 15 or
later, . Here's the explanation:
‘The law says the tax can be de-
ducted only from checks cover-
ing pay periods beginning on or
wwsatter July 1.
Out of 150 lawyers who have
been appointed to Federal jobs
trom the new Civil Service reg-
ister of attorney candidates, 52
were over 40; 65 were 32 to 39;
and only J4 were less than 32.
In other words, the older lawyer
is beginning to get a break in
Government. . . Incidentally,
Board of Legal Examiners ap-
pears to be in a bad way. Most
officials think it has done a
bang up job, But there's grave
danger that Congress will let it
expire without a new appropria-
tion,

These Are the Issues Behind
~The Firemen’s Election Campaign
By FRANCIS KELLY
When the ballots are in and counted on July 14, the members
of the Uniformed Firemen’s Association will have the results of one
of the really unique election campaigns in the history of that or-
ganization,
For one thing, the incumbents
are opposed by an organized
group of candidates, acting un-
der the name or “Committee for
the Improvement of the UFA.”
For another thing, a certain con-
fusion in the names of candi-
dates—as well as the large num-
ber of candidates—gives this
year’s compaign a character that
previous campaigns have lacked.
And for a third, the two sides—
Vincent J. Kane's and William
J. Reid’s—are battling it out on
the issues, and going straight to
the men for support.
Kane vs. Reid vs. Reid
Now let's take these matters
up one by one.
Tough, hard-thinking, labor-
politician Vincent Kane has
headed the UFA for close onto
13 years, He “has a way” with
the men, and even those who
have in the past opposed his
policies admit that his personal
charm carries weight. Moreover,
Vince goes in heartily for those
personal amenities which are the
trademark of clever politicians.
He has-the ear of Fire Commis-
sioner Walsh, and this fact has
evoked two kinds of comment
among the men. Some say that
it’s a good thing for the organi-
zation head to be able to ap-
Preach the commissioner (and
the Mayor, too), on a personal,
friendly basis,..Others say the
attitude is too friendly, and a
union leader should not play
along with the administration as
much as Kane has. In any case,
Kane's slate of nominees are, in
effect, Vincent J. Kane. It’s a
one-man show.
The Committee for Improve-
ment of the UFA, which op-
poses Kane for re-election, is far
from a one-man show. Its can-
didate for President, William J.
Reid, (Hook and Ladder 116),
like Kane an old-time AFL mem-
ber, was a longshoreman before
he came into the Fire Depart-
ment, and an official of the In-
ternational Longshoremen’s
Union. He has been in the de-
partment some 6 years, and is a
Notre Dame graduate.
In addition to Reid, however,
other nominees on this commit-
tee stand out as spokesmen, par-
ticularly quiet, articulate An-
thony J, Tini, candidate for fi-
nancia! and recording secretary,
who looks like a college profes-
sor without his uniform.
There's a third candidate for
the presidency—also named Wil-
liam J. Reid.
Campaign Issues
Kane's side is campaigning on
the record, They point out that
and has grown that way under
the Kane regime, They point
to substantial gains made under
this regime—among them the
shorter working week and the
present referendum for a pay
rise. They point to the prestige
of the firemen and to their suc-
cess in dealing with the adminis-
tration.
Reid's side disputes these
claims. Say they: “Actually,
Kane's regime is one of lethargy.
The present officers have done
the least they could do for the
m not the most they could
do.
Reid and Tini are particularly
incensed over the V-duty squab-
ble early this year. Says the
Committee: “They allowed the
commissioner to take slay after
slap at the men. The total re-
sult of that quarrel was to make
a loyal group of Americans look
unpatriotic in the eyes of many
Americans. The V-duty issue
Was never properly presented to
the people of this city from the
fireman's point of view.
Referendum Background
As to the referendum for the
$450 pay raise, Tini maintains
that the idea originated in
March, 1942, when John Cully
of the Bronx asked Kane to go
ahead with the idea, (Cully is
now a candidate for trustee on
the Reid ticket). Kane refused.
‘The administration's answer to
this, however, is that Kane tried
every possible means to obtain a
salary increase for the men, both
in Albany and New York, and
only adopted the referendum
idea—and they don’t admit it
originated with Cully—when all
other efforts for a pay raise
failed.
To which the Reid side re-
torts: “That's right—they failed.
Other organizaticns succeeded.”
Entrance Pay
A third*issue brought up by
the Committee for Improvement
of the UFA is the payment of
$2,000 entrance salaries to tem-
porary firemen, whereas the per-
manent men come in at $1,320.
‘They argue that the present of-
ficers were lax in permitting
“low entrance salary, which
means a man hocks himself for
life.”
Pensions
Still another issue brought up
by Reid is the differing systems
existing in the department. The
older men pay in 6 per cent. The
younger men pay in an average
of over 9 per cent, If the younger
men want additional protection
to their widows in case of death,
the sum they pay in can+go up
to 15 per cent. Tini mainains
LISTS
Grade 1 Clerks
Thirty-five names were certi-
fied to various City departments
#from the clerk, grade 1 list prom-
ulgated on May 12. All positions
are permanent and carry @ sal-
ary of $1,200 per annum,
The clerk list, grade 1, for Sea
View Hospital and Farm Colony
lts
in Staten Island, also saw re:
this week. Sixteen names w
submitted for permanent, and
seventeen for temporary appoint-
ment at $1,200 a year, and $960,
respectively. The last number
certified for the permanent posi-
tions’ was 26; for temporary, 41.
See also story on page 3 tell-
ing how these clerks are hired.
Physicians
‘There are seven vacancies fo
physicians (clinic) in the De-
partment of Parks. Forty names
were submitted from the City
medical officer, the police sur-
geon medical officer, and medi-
cal examiner lists, The appoint-
ments are temporary (seasonal)
and pay $1,500 per annum. No,
67 was the laSt one to be certi-
fied.
Fuel Inspectors
Two new lists saw action this
week. The list for inspector of
fuel, grade 2, established May 22,
was certified to the Board of
Education for permanent ap-
pointment at $1,800 per annum,
Numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 9 were
submitted.
Twenty-one names were sub-
mitted to the Department of
Public Works from the list for
stationary engineer, promulgated
on May 22. The salary is $9 per
diem, and the appointments will
be permanent. The last number
reached was 28,
Enginemen
2,401 is the last number cert.-
ied from the list for auto en-
gineman, Twenty-six name.
were submitted for temporary
appointments at $1,500 or less to
the Department of Hospitals,
that these differentials cause a
cleavage in the department be-
tweenghe younger and the older
men ‘h shouldn't exist.
Those Names
As for the curious business of
two men named “William J.
Reid” running for the office of
president, the Committee for
Improvement of the UFA say
openly that they consider it a
put-up job to confuse the men
so that they won't know for
whom they're voting. They argue
that the whole thing was
planned in advance by the pres-
ent officers. The second William
J. Reid, of Engine Company 97,
f running as an independent.
Members of the Improvement
Committee have appeared at En-
gine Company 97 and openly ac-
cused the second William J. Reid
of running “as a stooge for
Kane.”
Anothes possible mixup in
names arose from the similarity
in the names of Anthony J. Tini,
and Anthony Cifuni, both run-
ning for the same office, Tini as
a member of the committee, Ci-
funi as an independent. Tini
maintains that the case here is
the same as with the two Reids.
The situation of the names has
occasioned deep bitterness, and
the Improvement Committee is
using it as an issue, telling the
men that it is a deliberate at-
tempt to mislead them.
Nominations and voting in
the UFA—unlike the situation in
the Patrolman’s Benevolent As-
sociation—is open to all mem-
bers. Anyone can nominate; and
all members are eligible to vote.
The ballots are sent out to the
men; who mail them in, and then
they are counted.
