‘Any Agency Can Fire Any
Employee at Any Time’—Flemmi,

By CHARLES SULLIVAN

Federal Employees: See impor-
tant announcement on page 16.

WASHINGTON — What looked
like the beginning of a drive to
force the Federal Government to
clean house and discharge incom-
petent Civil Service worxers
started in Congress last week. Or
—it may be a wedge leading to a
wide-open attack on security in
jobs.

It started in the House Civil
Service Committee, which cur-
rently is conducting an investiga-
tion of Government personnel
practices.

And there is good reason to be-
Vieve that it is apt to become one
of the most significant Govern-
ment developments of the next
few months,

Flemming Testifies

The Committee Heard Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur 8,
Flemming testify that Govern-
ment workers can be discharged
at any time—with or without
cause. And individual members
expressed deep concern that the
agencies have not acted with
more vigor to weed out incom-
petents.

Mr, Flemming literally blasted
to smithereens the widely-held be-
lief that it is “impossible” to fire
a Government employee. Speci-
fically, he said:

Can Fire Anyhody
~Any agency can fire any em-
ployee at any time,
Although an old rule re-
quires written notice
of the specific causes for dis-
missal, courts have held that a
discharge is perfectly valid even
without such notice.
When an employee thinks
he has been unjustly fired,
he has the privilege of appeal to
the Civil Service Commission. The
Commission, however, cannot re-
instate the employee in his old
job. ‘The best it can do is to cer-
tify the employee for a job in
another agency if the evidence in-
dicates he is qualified,
—Agencies definitely are not
required to conduct hearings,
before they discharge an em-
ployee.

—Civil Service Commission it-

self has ng’ authority for fir-
ing incompetents once they are
appointed, Entire responsibility
‘Fests with the agency,

Public Opinion Only Protection

Flemming told the committee
that the agencies have ‘com-
Piete’’ authority to hire and fire.
“When the head of an agency
wants to fire an employee—that's
final,” he declared,

And Representative Robert
Ramspeck, committee chairman,
made the point that ‘the only
protection the civil service em-
ployee ever has had is public
opinion."

Flemming said that if the agen-
cies fully followed the rules, as
laid down by civil service, they
would take three steps before dis-
charging an employee.

First, they would give the em-
ployer a written statement of the
Teasons for his discharge.

Second, they would give him an
opportunity to reply in writing.

‘Third, they would not make a
final decision until they had made
@ careful study of the reply.

However, he emphasized that
court decisions have held the
agencies can ignore these rules if
they wish. And even if they do
ignore them, the firing stands,

Congessional OK for Post
Bonus Now Seen As Certai

Talk of Veto
By President :

Is Discounted

WASHINGTON—Final Congres-
sional approval of a flat $300 per
year bonus for postal workers ap-
pears likely to come this week.
Moreover, on the basis of the
impressive strength mustered be-
hind the bill when {t passed the
House last week, it looks very
much as if not even a Presidential
veto can now stop the measure,

Senate Committee OK’s $300 Minimum,
Pay Increase for All Federal Employees

1 WASHINGTON — A Modified
Government pay bill, which g
antees Federal a mini-
mum increase of at least $300 over
their basic pay, has been tenta-
tively approved by Senate Civil
Service Committee.

| The bill, whieh probably
will be formally reported out by

work:

new

the Committee some time this
week, provides:

] Overtime pay on the present

| basis—in other words, time-

and-one-quarter for work in ex

| cess of 40 hours per week—instead

of the time-and-one-half proposed

| in the original draft of the bill.

| 2-A flat $300-per-year raise for

workers whose oyertime pay

would not equal that sum,
A flat $300 increase for em-

time, At present, this group gets
® 10 percent bonu:

or other organizations which re-
strict membership on the basis
of race, color or creed, This

amendment was inserted at the
request of Negro groups

Also, and very important, the
committee knocked out a” pro-
posed amendment to pay overtime
only on the basis of “time actu-
ally worked." This proposal,
Sponsored by War and Navy de-
partments, would, in effect, have
partly nullified the leave
leges of per annum employees.
It would have made it impo:
for them to take annual or
leave on Saturdays, without los
their entire overtime pay for this
week,

vy here is exactly what the
proposed new bill will mean to
you, if it passes:

—If your base pay is less than
1 per year, your overtime
pay, which now is probably le:
than $300, will be raised to exact-
ly that amount.

—If your base pay is between

$1,889 and approximately $4,375,
probabilities are that your salary
checks will remain unchanged,
If your base pay Is between
5 and $5,000, you will get
$628.32 in overtime pay—instead
of just enough to raise you to
5,000 at at present.

—If your base pay is above $5,-
000, you will likewise get $628.32

It is

in overtime pay—instead of noth-
ing, as at present.

—And, finally, if you are now
ketting 10 percent bonus, instead
of overtime, you will lose the per-
centage bonus, and get a flat
$300 instead,

Here's what all this means:

Your parting gift from the City
in the form of vacation pay is
figured this way:

For each month of service you
get one day sick leave, and one
day vacation time, The official

You get this money on the next
Payroll after your induction or as
soon as your department files the
necessary information with the
Comptroller,

If you have accumulated sick
leave you don’t get any money
for it, but it will wait till you get
back from the wars.

The men who join the Merchant
Marine are not in military sery-
ice according to a ruling of the
Corporation Counsel and they
they don’t rate their parting va-
cation pay.

Mayor Issuel Directive

This is all.in accord with a di-
rective issued by the Mayor in
1941 to apply to men drafted un-
der peace-time selective service
regulations and has been carried
over to meet war-time conditions.
However, the Comptroller's Office
states that this method is not
used in every department.

The matter of vacation pay is
still at the discretion of the de-
partment head, and some employ-
ees may, fare better than others.

How Manpower
Situation Hits
A Department

An analysis of the manpower
situation in the Department of
Sanitation office clearly outlines
the problems faced by a City de-
partment in operating under wars
time conditions and suggests a
solution

According to
pared by an official of the de-
partment, this summer the de-
partment will be under-staffed by
ahout 30 percent, because of mili-
tary leaves, vacancies and vaca-
tions.

‘The report also states that any
requests to have military vace
cies filled by war substitutes must
have the approval of the Mayor,

Complicated payroll procedures
add work to the clerical staff, but
requests to add more help have
not been approved by officials

The following was suggested as
a possible means of straightening
out the situation:

‘The appointment of provisional
women employees to clerical jobs
at $4.a day. The department has
saved in military accruals over
$612,000, which could be used for
this purpose,

What Every Cop and Fireman Should Knoy

Study Aids for the Forthcoming New York City Police-Fire Examination

The following questions, first of a series to run until the
exam is given, are designed to acquaint the candidate with type of
material he may face on the actual examination, Study the questions
and answers not with a view to memorizing a lot of facts, but rather
to acquaint yourself with the kind of thing to expect when test-day

rolls around.

You won't be tested for the amount of knowledge

you have—but for your judgment, reasoning ability, and capacity

to act with common sense.

QUESTIONS

1. A man, shabbily dressed, was
walking along the street at about
3.30 a. m, He was carrying an un-
covered typewriter, Upon being
halted by a patrolman and asked
what he was doing with the type-
writer, the man said, ‘I'm taking

it home. I found it down the street
a way.” The man’s reasons for
having the typewriter are most

fairly described as (a) entirely ade-
quate; (b) quite reasonable except
that the typewriter is not covered;
(c) ridiculous, but not warranting
further investigation; (d) quite
reasonable, except that the man's
clothes constitute grounds for sus-
picion; (e) ridiculous and warrant-
ing further investigation,

2. During the summer a large
dog that is frothing at the mouth
runs among a group of children
playing on the sidewalk and bites
three of the children, Of the fol-
lowing, the first action taken by
the patrolman should, if possible,
be to (a) shoot the dog; (b) gather
in a group of the children who
were not bitten so as to avoid fv
ther injury; (c) call for the aid
of another patrolman; (d) rush to
a hospital and request an ambu-
lance to be sent to the scene of
the accident (e) determine the own-
ership of the dog.

ANSWERS

Typewriters, like automo-
bites, have 2 good exchange or re-
salo value and very seldom are
thrown out, The patrolman was al-
ready patrolling his post for about
three hours. If the typewriter was
In the street he would probably
have observed it while performing
his tour of duty,

(a), (b) and (d) are wrong be-
cause even the most inexperienced
person in the detection of crime
would be suspicious of these cir-
cumstances,

2. (a) The dog is apparently
rabid. The facts leave no doubt
about destroying the dog in that
they state, IF POSSIBLE, shoot

not followsthe dog. This means there ts little

danger of injuring anyone in pre-
venting the dog from biting others
and it would result in preventing
the spread of the dreaded hydro-
phobia or lyssa, However, the dog
should be taken alive, if possible,

(b) is wrong because the dog may
be in such a place as to make it
impractical to shoot without caus-
ing injury or death.

(a) is wrong because that can
be determined after all preliminary
action is taken care of, whether
or not the dog is dead,

3. (d) No matte the crime
was or who is affected by the erim-
inal act, third degree methods are
unlawful, Sec, 246 of the Penal
Law provides when the use of force
is not unlawf
clude assaults which are associated
with third degree methods.

and (b) are wrong because
whether or not a uniform is worn
it is unlawful,

(c) is wrong because no matter
what the crime was or upon whom
it was committed, the constitutions
of the State and of the United
States provide that a person can-

not be deprived of life or liberty
without due process of law, In the
application of third degree meth-

ods the victim is deprived of the
right to defend himself.

4. (c) No matter what your color,
creed, religion, or feelings are,
when assigned to police duty of

Stuck Till 1947,
They Request
Change of Title

Assistant Attendance Officers of
the Board of Education, claiming
that they are performing the

ne duties as regular attendance
office petitioned the
d of Education to change
their status to “Attendance Offi-
cer." '

Over the signature of Timothy
McCarthy, president of the As-
tant Attendance Officers Asso-
ciation, the petition lists reasons
why the changes should be made.

Here are their arguments:

1, They get a maximum of $1,-
820, Attendance Officers $2,350.

2. They are performing exactly
the same duties as the others and
have been rated on the same
basis,

3. By a legal technicality, they
will not be eligible until 1947 for
an opportunity for advancement.
Half were appointed in 1929 from
a list for “Attendance Officer,”
the other half toak an examina-
tion in 1930 for the ‘‘Assistant’’
jobs.

4. The rise in the cost of living
emphasis the inadequacy of their
present salaries,

Welfare Firing
Case in Court

The case of Yetta Barman, for-
mer investigator in the Depart-
ment of Welfare who was dis-
charged from the department in
November, 1942, on charges of in-
competence, was heard in the Su-
preme Court last week where the
is on appeal,

According to Saypol and Kotler,
attorneys for Miss Berman, her
dismissal “is a result of discrimi-
nation following her resignation
from the SCMWA.”
inally appointed an investi-
gator in 1984, the former Welfare
employee's appeal states that she
had received satisfactory ratings
prior to her leaving the union,
and that since 1939 her supervis-
ors have constantly undergraded
her, finally costing her the posi-
tion.

‘The case had originally come be-
fore Ellis Ranen, then Industrial
Relations Director of the Welfare
Department, and now an AFL of-

ficial, Mr, Ranen had substant!-
ated the original charge against
her,

this kind you must always be neu-

(a) If the strikers are not doing
unlawful acts, you would be mak-
ing false arrests.

(b) If you ignored all the acts of
the strikers you may be allowing
them to commit some unlawful
acts.

(d) and (e) Partiality would be

(a) Animality pertains to animal
life or nature,

(e) Criminology is the science of
crime and its perpetrators,

6 A plea takes place before or
during a trial, not after. There are
three kinds of pleas to an indict-
ment: 1. A plea of gullty; 2. A plea
of not guilty; 3. A plea of a former

(a), (b), (da), and (e) are the ac-
tions generally taken after trial,

7. (c) The patrotman need not
know how to instruct, However, it
would do him no harm to acquire
this technique. It would help all
concerned.

(a) To know the different parts
of the revolver will help one to
know the action and result of each
part separately or collectively,

(b) and (d) If hazards are known, |,

precautions can be taken against
them, Proper handling, to prevent
cidents, would result,

(e) Like any other mechanical
instrument, if neglected it will not
produce results, and if carelessly
laid around or neglected, rust will
depreciate it,

8 (b) It is a method whereby
the criminals generally work in
pairs, One usually places his arm
around the victim and clamps a
hand over his mouth, while the
rifles the victim's pockets,

(a) and (i) may be what some
people refer to as mugging but
the question calls for “police par-
lance."

Prior to November, the SCMWA,

Today the SCMWA reports a
membership of close to 500 park

worked up through personal con-

the formation of first aid classes.

indicate that most of the park

claim, voiced especially by John
Hughes, that the Parks Depart-

Hospital Health Lists
Begin to Show Action

The list for X-ray technician, es-
tablished March 16, has had 11
names certified to the Depart-
ment of Hospitals for permanent
positions in all boroughs of the
City at $1,500 per annum without
maintenance, and $1,260 with
maintenance. Seven of these
names were certified to the De-
partment of Hospitals for perma-
nent positions outside of the City
at a salary of $1,500 or less. Six
people were certified from this
list for serology work in the De-
partment of Hosiptals at $960 per
annum.

Seventeen names were certified
last week from the list for Lab-
oratory Assistant (Bacteriology),
promulgated March 16, The ce:
tification was made to the De-
partment of Health for permanent
postions at $960 a year. The first
17 names were certified.

The Department of Hospitals re-
ceived the first nine names from
the recent list of Medical Social
Worker, Grade 1. The positions
are on a permanent basis and pay
$1,500 per annum.

24 Names Go

To Fire Department

The NYC firemen list was care-
fully seached for additional names
this week. Twenty-four names
were certified to the Fire Depar
ment for permanent positions at
$1,320. The last number reached
was 1997.

(uiet Struggle Taking Place
for Control of Park Workers

or city officials on the parks
question. Charges that foremen
have been ovetly active in pro-
moting the Parks Department per
annum bill have been made,
Foremen have allegedly been dis-
tributirs postcards which employ-
ees have been requested to sign
and mail to City Council members
expressing approval of the bill, ac-
cording to Mr. Hughes.

3 Officials Mum

Park officials are loathe to talk
about the problem of labor rela-
tions in the department. It is
known, however, that they are
not too kindly disposed to em-
ployee groups, and are probably
displeased with the introduction
of SCMWA organizing in the
Parks Department family. The
SCMWA, on the other hand, is
withholding its approach to the
department officials until its
membership is built up to more ef-
fective bargaining strength, and
has made no direct demands to
the department up to the present
time.

Here are demands
SCMWA will make:

1. Wage increases.

2. Per diem employees on an
annual basis.

3. Settlement of job grievances,
fines, suspensions, petty acts of
foremen, ete,

4. Grievance machinery to im
prove industrial relations in the
department.

‘The Civil Service League, inter-
ested in the attendants, will work
for salary increases, a satisfac-
tory per-annum bill, better promo-
tional opportunities, and uniforms
to be provided by allowances.

The GNYPEA president has
been reported as saying that he
didn’t want to fight witn anybody.

The struggle for control’ of the
park employees has gone on with-
out fireworks, and the partici-
pants have so far conducted their
fight on a gentlemanly level. One
interesting angle is the curious
preblem involved in reaching park
employees, distributed in more 1o-
cations than the employees of any
other depar‘ment.

Little Chance Seen For
State Pay Raise Bills

ALBANY-State employee rep-
resentatives here have about
given up any hope for a passage
by the Legislature this year of
any general pay rise bill to meet
the mounting cost of living.

Although two measures are now
in the Rules Committee of the
Assembly, with companion
measures in the Senate, there ap-
pears no likelihood of either of
them passing unless Governor
Dewey has a change of heart be-
fore the Legislature adjourns next
week.

Reprosentatives of the employ-
ees conferred with GOP
legislative leaders, who last year
initiated and aided in the pas-
sage of such legislation, but while
they ave sympathetic, they offer
no assurance that this year's pro-

posals wil! pass.
Governor Dewey is represented

as not disposed to listen to any
pay bills that would add to the
cost of State government during
the new fiscal year, He has given
mental hygiene institution em-
ployees a $100 raise, has raised
the minimum of some 2,000 cleri-
cal workers to $1,200, and has
approved a proposal to pay over
time at straight rates for mental
hygiene attendants,

But There's Still Hope

His spokesmen say that he
thinks he ought to stop there for
this year, but the employee rep:
resentatives intend to press for
passage of their two over-all bills
anyway and will seek further con:
ferences next week, ‘hey hope
to got from the Governor at least
some encovragement that he will
study thelr problem later this
year with a view to enacting some
remedial legislation next year,
The pay-raise bills which eni-
Ployees are concentrating on, in-
clude: ‘The Halpern-Barrett meas-

ure which provides a cost-of-liv-
ing “bonus” of 10 per cent on the
first $2,500 and 5 per cent on the
next $2,500, with a iainimum of
$120 and a maximum of $375, ef-
fective April 1, this year.

The other is tne Harpern-Bar-
rett bill providing for a long-
range salary adjustment plan un-
dev which salaries would be peri-
odically adjusted to correspond
with changes in the cost of living.
This also provides for a 10 per
cent adjustment on the first
$2,500 and 5 per cent on the next
$2,500, with the same minimum
and maximum, ‘The adjustment
plan is the same as provided in
last year's bill which the Legis
lature passed but ‘which was
vetoed by Governor Lehman, If
last year's bill, which provided
the adjustment would be made
when living costs had risen 20 per
cent, had been signed by the Gov-
ernor, the employees would have
gotten the pay raise provided in
the measure.

What’s to Be Done After

' Creedmoor

With the investigation of Creed-
moor Hosptal in progress and
conditions in other branches of
the State Mental Hygiene Depar
iment under unofficial scrutiny, a
condition against which The
LEADER has long been cam-
paigning is finally on the way to
being cleaned up. What next?

A letter from Patricia Helbig,
the president of the Creedmoor
local of the SCMWA offers some
practical suggestions for improve-
ment of the department.

Here’s the letter:

“Now that Governor Dewey has
finally seen fit to expose what you
have so aptly referred to as the
“Hospital Mess," we believe that
a constructive program should be
adopted—one that will, instead of
just glossing over, be an honest
beneficial reform,

“Our everyday contact with this
work, our proximity to the feel-
ings and opinions of the em-
ployees and the doctors of the
Mental Hygiene Department, qual-
ify us to submit a program that
we believe will merit considera-
tion by the Moreland Act Investi-
gating Committee now studying
the conditions of the aospital at
which I have worked for over s!x
years.

“Phe program is as follows:

“, Employees should be given a
livable wage with a $1,200 mini-

should house no
more than 50 patients at any one
time,

New Bills Would
Ease Soldiers’
Pension Problems

ALBANY.—A bill introduced in
the State Legislature last week
would velieve members of the
civil service system serving in
the armed forces from the
burden of making pension pay-
ments while on military duty, The
bill would permit the state po-
litical subdivision which employs
them, {o meet the employees’
share of the payments,

The existing military law allows
employees serving in the armed
forces full pension rights. Under
the existing law the employee is
allowed to continue his contribu-
tions either while in military sery-
ice or to pay them up over a
period of five years after he re-
turns from the service, Mean-
while, the State or City is re-
quited to continue its contribu-
tions in his behalf,

Another bill recently introduced
would enable an employee in mili-
tary service to borrow one-half
his accumulated contributions in
the retirement system,

Is Probed?

should be present at all times, 24
hours a day.

"4. One doctor should be limited
to a 200-case load.

“5, Boards of Visitors should in-
clude Negro members,

“6, Provisions should be made
to establish better working condi-
tions and to reduce staff turn-
over to a minimum,

“7, Establish right to redress of
grievances through employee or-
ganizations,

“8, Time-and-a-half pay for all
volunteer overtime work,

“Your effort over the past three
years has been splendid, we trust
they continue until the ‘mess’ is
cleared away and we can all say,
“That's a job well done.’”

‘The LEADER believes that the
probe of Creedmoor must be ex-
tended to include all State hos-
pitals, There can be little ques-
tion but that in other hospitals
there is much scurrying around
to do some surface cleaning. Now
is the time to go in and find out
what's what,

After the probe, a constructive
program must be worked out.
‘This newspaper believes that
those persons who have been close
to the situation—the actual em-
ployees themselves, should help in
this program, What suggestions
have you? If you're an employee
of the State Mental Hygiene De-
partment, we'd like to hear from
you, Write State Editor, Civil

What Goes On
Up in Albany?

Dine rumors are emanating from Albany. They say

that civil service will shortly be hit so hard that there will

be nothing for it but that the merit system must lie down and
be buried in Potter's Field.

We're waiting to see how things really shape up before accept-
ing this rumor. As shown by his steadfastness in pushing through
reapportionment, Governor Dewey seems to want to carry out
his campaign pledges. And the Governor has said too much in de-
fense of the merit system to let it die now. These are the excellent
words he uttered on October 27, 1938, during his first campaign
for the governorship:

“To the people of the State I pledge the restoration of the
merit system in the government of the State. Its workers shall be
protected in their tenure. They shall be chosen by merit and not
by politics.

‘he fine body of our civil service employees can be assured
that merit will rule. ‘The people again can know that their public
affairs will be conducted by a body of public servants free from
the fear of removal by every job-seeking politician.”

That is a good sentiment. As good in 1943 as it was in 1938,
On the other hand, firings in State departments have already started.
In some cases, civil service employees with 15 and 18 years behind
them are suddenly out on their ears, with no redress, nothing but
the ephemeral comfort of having their names placed on preferred
lists. And we're not referring to, nor do we intend to protect,
political appointees.

| That's not so good, Mr. Governor,

Some of the bills now before the Legislature aren't so good,
either, for the, merit system. They don't jibe with the sentiment of
those 1938 words. We assume Mr. Dewey is not behind them, We
assume that if they pass he won't sign them.

The 5,000,000 civil service employees of the nation will be
carefully watching what happens to the merit system in the Empire
State under Governor Dewey.

Civil Servant:
Aren’t Draft Dodgers

N: civil service employees aren't draft-dodgers. The current

campaign of certain Congressmen to smear the men who do
government work can be characterized by a single ad-
jective—dirty,

It is true that the Selective Service setup, as it affects Uncle
Sam's employees, is a deep welter of unfathomable mud. There've
been committees at work to untangle the situation, although nobody
can yet tell you precisely who may and who may not be deferred,

But this situation is not the fault of employees. Men who
make snide inferences about the patriotism of government workers
—and those who, as Congressman Costello did last week, try to
draw a line of hatred between our soldiers and our government
employees—your own judgment can supply the correct noun to
to characterize such activities.

SAMUEL ROSS.

MISS MERIT MAN this week is
Miss ‘Information Please of New

York City.” Seated at her desk at ~

the Municipal Reference Library,
22 flights up in the City building,
she’s the gal who has to know all
the answers or where to find
them, and she says that she cer~
tainly gets the questions.

“Today I got a call about
whether it’s permitted to keep
bees in New York City from
someone who thought of a good
way to save sugar; then I got an
inside call asking me to get the
mortality tables, so I know that
someone is interested in doing
something about pensions.”

Her other inquiries range from
“Where's a good place to eat?”
to “What does the City Seal of
Yonkers mean?" She had the
answers to both, She has broad-
cart over WNYC on ‘ating
Places in New York,” and she
found out that the Yonkers seal is
a man in a wig who looks like
George Washington, but was
named Phillips.

Who Can Pay?

She thinks that people who sud-
denly find themselves paying new
taxes may have her to blame.
‘Whenever the City finds itself a
little low in the pocketbook it
calls up the library and asks it to
find something else that ean he

the
State and other cities are always
getting in touch with her when
they want some information that
no one else seems to be able to
find—and she usually gets it.

The most popular question is

enough tc keep her busy,

“Where cnn I get a birth certif'-
ente?” After spending a day tell-
ing callers to go to the Board of
Health, she sometimes wishes
there weren't so many people in
the world.

to accept a dollar from these

Once Again—
Endowment

Organizations

On February 16th we said in con-
neetien with the subject of the Po-
lice Department's various endow-
ment organizations: ‘We wonder
whether the best solution for such
organizations is not to compel
an acluarial survey to be made ot
their aseets and labilitles and to
distribute their assets among their
members upon an equitable basi:
Someone might be stuck under
the present unsatisfactory set-up
and the attitude of many contrib-
uors, as they tell it to us, is—they
feel it's throwing good money after
bad, but they're afraid to stop
paying after having made such a
large investment."

‘As though to prove our asser-
tions, the officers and members
of the Patrolmen's’ Endowment
Organization of the City of New
York met on March 15th and, af-
ter a heated discussion over which
the shadow of Commigsioner Her-
lands seemied to loom, decided to
disband the organization and dis-
tribute the assets,

‘The assets are not very great.
The organization has gone
through some very tough days
and suffered some severe losses
1n its investments and securities,
As a result, when it pays its out-
standing death Mabilities there
will be little left of {ts $1700 cash
and $2500 securities to divide

Most of the members pay from
$2 to $3 monthly, Benefits for
retirement or death after 25 yoars
should be $600, Members, includ-
ing the many who haye continued
thelr payments for more than
thirty years, will be lucky to get
back a few months dues.

that no suspicion attaches to any

not blame them for the organiza-
tion's plight.

No doubt members of the de-

how much money they have lost,
They might console themselves,
however, with the knowledge that

ruary 16th?

“This is one place the Mayor or
the Commissioner can poke thelt
respective fingers into without be-
ing subject to criticism.”

Plaincl-----men

We know we are very indelicate
to bring up the subject again, but
at the risk of boring no cop we
have spoken to on the subject, we
would like to add some remarks
to what we have already said
about the use of the Sergeant's
list for plainclothesmen,

We learned recently that about
January 19th a Department
order was issued for the replace-
ment of all plainclothesmen by
patrolmen on the Sergeant's list,
‘This order was quickiy modified,
under extreme pressure, to cover
only those plainclothesmen work-
ing in commands that have not
already been shaken up—the Po-
lice Commissioner's Office, the
Chief Inspector's Office, the vari-
out Borough Headquarters, the
8rd Division, the 6th Division, ete,

Following this order a number
of replacements were made pur-

suant to this formula. Since the
issuance of the order not one
piainclothesman was appointed

anywhere unless he was on the
Sergeant's list. Requests by In-
spectors for approval of the
appointment of plainclothesmen
who were not on the list have
been vejected by the Commis-
sioner,

We have frequently picked on
the Commissioner for the way he
has handled this entire matte
Now that we learn of his attempts
to correct the condition we hasten
to congratulate him for this in-
telligent and forthright step, It
is not as all-embracing as we
would like, but it is cettainly in

1942, to use the list as Amen rec-
ommended,

We would like to suggest to the
Commissioner that the joh, now
begun, be finished. Since the be-
ginning of February there has
been no replacement of plain-
clothesmen, even in those com-
mands ordered to do so, The
process of stalling is now being
used by commanding officers to
maintain thelr present men as
long as possible,

Give them a gentle reminder,
Commissioner.

“Phen you take the rest and
give them average marks, hoping
the whole result will please the
boss, so you won't get called on
the carpet.’"

We told the sour fellow we'd
be much too virtuous to grade

clerical work they have to do,

4, However, tae agency is not
required to go through the for-
mality of written statements un-
less it wants to. There's nothing
you can do about it,

5. If the agency wants to, it
can also grant you a formal hear-
ing—but it is not required to do
50, :

6, Veteran's preference, which
may have helped you get your
job, cannot keep an agency from
exercising its right to fire you
if it wants to.

7. If you think you have been |
unjustly fired, you can appeal to
Civil Service Commission.

8. The Commission, however,
cannot reinstate you in your old
job, or your former agency. The
most it can do is to certify you
to another agency, and give that

agency an opportunity to hire
you,

9. In such a case, you retain
your civil service status and
tenure.

10. In the case of employees still
serving probationary periods (all
those appointed since June 30,
1942, serve probations of one
year), a statement of reasons for
discharge is never required under
any circumstances, All that is
necessary is-a notice of dismissal.

the status of a number of em-

How to Present

A Grievance i

Here’s the recommended pro-
cedure:

1. Take the matter up with
your immediate superior. Be diplo- |
matic, sure of your facts, and
show the same tolerance that you
want to receive. In cases where |
the superior is unwilling or un-
able to act:

2. Bring the grievance to the at-
tention of your local, Explain the |
case completely, making sure that |
you nave the correct facts and fig- |
ures, names, dates and places.
Make the case concrete so the
local will have something to
work on.

3. If the local can’t arrange to
straighten out the situation, it |
will bring the matter to the atten-
tion of the national organization |
which will study the case, and if |
it seems legitimate take it up|
with the department,

What Not to Do

Here’s what you are advised not
to do:

1. Do not write a general reso-
lution, Rather submit definite
facts and figures about a specific
condition,

2, Don't try to do too much
yourself, Your union is there to
help you.

3. Don’t expect the others to do
all tae work of adjustment —
sume part of the job as your own.

One of the biggest series
of firings ait on St, Pat-

in at the Motor Vehicle Bureau
offices and told it's all over, as.ot
April 1, ‘They protested that they
were bona fid 1 service work-
‘ers, some in for close to 20 years,
But that didn’t help.

Many Aro Hit
The Motor Vehicle Bureau was

affected in all its branches—Al-
bany, Manhattan, Brooklyn,
Queens. In Manhattan, for ex-
ample, six referees were fired.

The job pays $3,500 to $3,900 a
year. Nine motor vehicle license
examiners, earning approximately
h, were knocked out.
clerks were included in
, two of them earn-
ing approximately $1,000 a year,
and one earning around $1,600.

the job 1814 years,
Volume Going Up
Does the volume of business

done by the Motor Vehicle Bu-
vreau warrant these firing: Again,
to look at Manhattan as an ex-
ample, it was way down in Janu-
ary of this year, when few peopl»
were driving cars. The last week
in February was markedly rushed
because the rationing boards were
about to take away the coupons
of persons who didn’t renew their
registration, Now it's up to 76
percent of the 1942 business, and
by mid-summer officials expect it
to reach at least 90 percent of
last year's volume.
Still a Chance

There ta fst the barest possi-
bility that these particular firings
may yet be withheld, A supple-
mentary budget is scheduled for
prcsentation this week, and this
may permit such a reshuffling of
the bureau as to allow retention
of the employees.

Should the firings hold, how-
ever, the names of those laid off
will go on a preferred list for pos-
sible use in titese jobs should they
open up again,

Immediate affect of the firings
was to electrify the offices con-
cerned into a state approaching
domoratization, as other employ-
eos feared for their jobs, Com-
(x were heard indicating that
employees felt the protections
and privileges of civil service were
falling to pieces, ‘The attitude is
bound to spread as firings begin
to hit other State offices,

The LEADER will keep State
employees informed of firings in
other departments,
