WASHINGTON—Faster promotions for Fed-
val employees?
Apparently, the answer is going to be Yes —
t least so far as Mead-Ramspeck automatic pro-
hiotions are concerned.
That, certainly, is the week’s best news for
federal Civil Service workers, Here is the situation:
The Administration apparently has made up
its mind that Mead-Ramspeck automatic raises are
ich too slows Therefore, it has its semi-official
ouncil of Personnel Administration working on a
hew system,
Eventually, it is indicated, this system, will be
* submitted to Congress with Administration backing.
So far, the plan is merely tentative. Undoubt-
edly, it will be subject to change later. Here, how-
ever, are its principal features,
1—A one step, automatic within-grade promotion
every 12 months for employees with efficiency
ratings of Excellent,
2—A one-step raise every 18 months for employes
with efficiency ratings of Very Good.
3—A one-step raise every 24 months for employees
with efficiency ratings of Good.

EFFICIENCY
34 Points
WASHINGTON —Two major
changes in Federal employee ef-
ficiency rating rules are in the
offing:
FIRST—Civil Service officials
are considering a new regula~
tion which will give every em-
ployee the right to know exact-
ly how his rating was deter-
mined
SECOND — Civil Service has
practically made up its mind to
abandon the so-called optional
system, in effect the last two
years, which gave agencies the
right to use a short-cut effi-
ciency rating plan,
Ordinarily, you have to be
rated on up to 34 different effi-
ciency facto! Your rating is
extremely important because it
determines your chances of pro-
motion, Therefore, it should be
made as carefully as possible,
For the last two years, how-
ever, the Commission has per-
mitted the agencies — those
which so desired—to give you
merely a final rating, without
Scoring you on the various fac-
tors individaully. Most of War
Department followed this plan.
So did Agriculture, and several
other major agencies,
All Factors
A new announcement, expect~
ed in the next few we prob-
abily will require a return to the
peacetime formula of rating on
all 34 factors,
The major proposed change
in the rules, however, is the one
having to do with letting the
employee know more about his
rating.
At present, if you work for
the Government, you never see
your full rating form, All you
ever get is the final rating.
Ciyil Service Commission offi-
cials"believe that if you saw the
rating form itself, you would get
a much better idea of your own
strong points—and weak points.
You would know why your su-
pervisor graded you down—and
how you might get a better
grade next time,
PAY
Govt. Worker
Gets Hit Again
By CHARLES SULLIVAN
WASHINGTON — Don't look
now-—but the pay raise for John
L. Lewis’ miners was anything
but good news for Government
workers,
Perhaps you don’t see the con-
nection between mine pay and
Government pay. But it’s a real
ont nevertheless. Here's how
Washington officials figure it
ou
~—Now that the mine workers
have won raises, other union
groups almost certainly will seek
increases, too.
—If they get them (as can be
expected), then you'll see a very
definite increase in the cost of
living.
~—By the time the cycle has
run its course, it could be that
you: own living costs will go up
two, or three, or five or 10 per
cent.
Meantime, however, there is
very little chance of raises for
Government workers (white col-
lar workers, at least), unless liv-
ing costs sky-rocket completely
out of sight.
Always Behind
that white collar
lag behind skilled
labor rai: That's one factor,
More than that, however, Con-
gress is always extremely re-
luctant to give increases to
Government people,
Therefore, if the mine workers
raises actually DO set up a new
increase in the cost of living, the
chances are you'll find yourself
caught in the squeeze.
Federal employee unions here
recognize the fact, And accord-
ingly, they plan to launch a new
campaign for raises,
Tt is doubtful, however, if even
the unions expect their drive to
bring fast concrete results, The
results, if any, will come only
after the squeeze on Civil Serv-
ice workers has become well nigh
intolerable,

Tense Situation ds Two Postal
Groups
Square Off for Bitterest Fight Yet
By FRANCIS KELLY
The New York City branch of the Railway Mail
Association is being attacked on a new front. This time
it’s a quiet, underground attempt to break up the organi-
zation, On another flank, this same branch is engaged
in a fight through the courts—with the help of New York
State—to take in members who are eligible as civil serv-
ice employees—without regard to color. The national
office of the organization says No, you can’t take in
Negroes, even though they work side by side with you,
earn the same money, perform the same duties, suffer
the same difficulties, The na-
tional organization just doesn’t
want Negroes—and has written
a clause into its constitution to
that effect, On the other hand,
New York State law forbids any
labor union to discriminate
against prospective members be-
cause of race. The New York
City branch says it cannot obey
the national RMA constitution
and New York State law at the
same time, W. R. Mitiguy, Presi-
dent of the New York branch,
asked the State's Attorney Gen-
eral for an opinion in this dilem-
ma, The opinion said flatly
that the organization must, un
der ‘Section 43 of the Civil
Rights law, admit Negroes to
membership, And six Negro
railway clerks were taken in,
Went to the Cotirts
Then, the national body went
to court trying to upset the At-
torney General's opinion on the
ground that the Railway Mail
Association is not a labor union,
but a social organization! This
despite the fact that the RMA
is an affiliate of the American
Federation of Labor, and does
everything a labor union usually
does, and participates in joint
economic action with other AFL
unions.
A Supreme Court ruling
handed down by Albany Su-
preme Court Justice Murray,
confirmed the national office—
but that ruling never even came
to a discussion of the constitu-
tional questions involved. It was
based on the judge's view that
labor unions ought not to exist
among civil service employees,
and that the RMA, though af-
filiated with the American Fed-
eration of Labor, is chartered as
a fraternal organization,
‘The State is taking an ap-
peal from that decision,
New Group Formed «
Meanwhile, the flank attack
comes to the New York City
branch from an outfit calling
itself the Long Island Branch
of the Railway Mail Association.
And the evidence at hand would
seem to indicate that the real
purpose of this organization is
not to organize Long Island rail-
way postal clerks—who are al-
ready organized in the existing
locals—but to break up the New
York City branch, which had the
courage to stand up and say
that there's no place for Negro
discrimination in civil service,
The sudden flowering of a new
branch looks like dual unionism
of the lowest kind—with the
blessing of the national officers,
While the new branch presents
itself as a Long Island organiza-
tion, with one John M, Buerkle,
of LaGuardia Field, as chair-
man, it looks as though its or-
ganizers are far from Northport,
Great Neck, L, I, or even Queens
Plaza, The first organizers in-
clude Matty Williamson, who
Was to try to organize the Grand
Central T, O.; Dick Billings,
who works at Penn Terminal;
Thomas Dewhurst, Penn T, O,;
James Shanahan, West Side
Terminal; John Hines, West
Side T. O.; W. Willis McNett,
Office. The Civil Service LEADER
has in its possession photostatic
evidence that certain members
of this Long Island group have
approached Manhattan em-
ployees and members of the New
York City branch and tried to
induce them to join the Long
Island branch. Add to these facts
that Wallace Douglas, one of
the original organizers, is still a
member of the executive board
of the New York branch, Talk
about dual unionism!
Another Name
Now let's add anovher name
to our story—Frank Fleming, of
187 State Street, Bloomfield, N,
J. Before telling you about Flem~
ing, we must describe broadly
the way the Railway Mail Asso-
ciation is organized, There are
15 divisions in the nation, each
division covering a large area,
New York is part of the Second
Division, which takes in also
New Jersey and part of Pennsyl-
fania. Frank Fleming is Presi-
dent of the Second Division,
When Fleming made’ his run for
the post he based his campaign
in large measure upon an at-
tack on the New York City
branch, and upon Mitiguy, whom
he accused—as though it were
an evil thing—of having inaug-
urated the movement to take
Negroes into the RMA. Protest-
ing his own love and affection
for the Negro, Fleming said at
the time: “The negro is but a
pawn in the game. Fortunately
the overwhelming majority of
colored clerks now. eligible to
apply for membership (this was
after the Attorney General had
handed down his decision)
realize this and will have
nothing to do with it.” Fleming
is particularly angry because
Mitiguy, at a convention of the
Second Division, introduced a
resolution to admit Negroes, and
“The debate lasted for four
hours, kept the convention in
session until 2 A.M. and cost
the Division Association over
$700 of additional hotel expense
and substitute hire for the dele-
gates.” That $700 was more im~-
portant than full disoussion of
one of the gravest issues facing
our time!
While Fleming admitted that
Attorney General of New York
State had ruled Negroes may
not be denied membership on
account of their color he says
blandly that “I believe questions
affecting the character of the
Railway Mail Association should
be decided within the organiza-
tion itself.”
Supports New Branch
Now in a letter which Flem-
ing wrote to Mitiguy on Septem-
ber 6, 1943 he stated that he had
not known about the new branch
which was starting up, but now
that he did know about it he
would support the request of the
new branch for a charter, The
issue came up before the 15 divi-
sion presidents and the 4 na-
tional officers of the Railway
Mail Association, meeting in
Washington,

physical examination will be re-
quired of candidates,
They turned down the petition
for a new charter, on the ground
that there was no need for an-
other branch in the territory.
Fleming wrote Buerckle a letter
that he should go back to the
New York City branch. But
Buerckle continued his activities
without public protest from
Fleming, and on the following
Saturday, October 23, both
Buerckle and Mitiguy were call-
ed to Washington, This time, the
new outfit was granted its char-
ter, This time, too, there could
be no doubt that Jim Crow ruled
the meeting, Nevertheless, the
officers were so shame-faced
about what they had done that
they passed a resolution saying
their action was not to be con-
strued as a precedent!
Why a New Group?
When a LEADER reporter
asked Mr, Fleming whether it
was permissable for one branch
of the Railway Mail Service to
raid the members of another
branch, Fleming replied: “We
discourage membership piracy.
We don't want it, No, the Long
Island branch isn’t taking mem~
bers away from the New York
City organization.” Informed
that The LEADER had definite
evidence that in fact the Long
Island organizers were approach-
ing New York branch members,
Fleming then replied: “Well, I
don’t know whether they’re or~
ganizing in New York City. But
a, member of the Railway Mail
can join any branch he wishes,
I don’t know why they're ap-
prehensive in New York, We
welcome the idea of a new
branch.”
Asked why there is need for
another branch, Fleming an-
swered that “it would be easier
for men who worked in Long
Island to get to meetings.” He
gave no more cogent reasons,
Incidentally, it is easier to con-
verge from all Long Island points
at Penn Station than anywhere
in Long Island itself.
Joint Conference
Meanwhile, it appeared prob-
able that the powerful Joint
Conference of Postal Employees,
consisting of all the AFL postal
unions, would stick by Mitiguy
and the New Yorkers. Abe
Shapiro, Publicity Director of
Joint Conference, predicted that
the organization will “stick with
Mitiguy, as a brother member.
We have no desire to get into
a controversy between two
groups, but this is different.
Moreover, we are not in the
least anti-Negro.” An officer of
Local 10, National Federation of
Postal Clerks, told The LEADER:
“We're definitely behind Mitiguy,
all the way through.”
Everett Gibson, President of
the conference of postal groups,
indicated that his organization
would stand solidly with Miti-
guy. ‘We have no use for anti-
Negro sentiment among our
postal organizations” he said.
Now, the situation has all the
elements of a piece of concealed
dynamite, The New York City
branch of the Railway Mail As-
sociation has no intention of
sitting by while the new group
raids its membership,
Watch for the explosion, It’s
due soon, It'll be big!

eral employee, place the LEAD-

City Employees Finally Get Procedure
Governing Unfreezing From Positions
EXCLUSIVE “5 2
It’s taken a long time, and many New York City
employees have suffered because of the frustration and
confusion, but now, finally, there are straight, clear.
cut
answers to the questions: Is the City employee frozen
into his job? How can he get unfrozen, if he wants to?
How long does it take? Who can get unfrozen—and
how is it done?
Here are the answers:
First—Every City employee is
now frozen into his job. The
War Manpower Commission rec-
ognizes City employees as essen-
tial. And you who work for Pa
Knickerbocker are now governed
by the provisions of the Employ-
ment Stabilization Program for
the New York City area, This
means that—
If you leave your job without
receiving a statement of avail-
ability, you may not be employed
in any other capacity for a pe-
riod of 60 days. The phrase
“statement of availability” means
a release, or permission allowing
you to accept another job.
There are four reasons for
which a statement of availability
may be issued to a City em-
loyee:
1. If he is discharged.
2. If he is laid off for seyen
or more days.
3. If undue personal hardship
exists.
4. If he is employed at less
than full time or below his high-
est skill,
Experience has shown that
number 4 is the most important
of these reasons for the major
proportion of those desiring to
transfer to other jobs, In mak-
ing a request for a release under
the fourth reason, you should
feel reasonably sure that the
new position to which you are
going will contribute more ef-
fectively to the prosecution of
the war than the post which
you are currently holding. The
mere fact that another position
will pay you more money bears
no weight.
This brings us to the next
question. If an employee desires
to leave his employment with
the City in order to accept em-
ploym elsewhere, what are
the steps open to him, Here is
how it’s done:
—He requests a statement of
availability from his depart-
ment head. If that is denied,
then—
—He requests a review by the
Offce of Mayor LaGuardia, It
is known tlfat LaGuardia jeal-
ously guards this power of review
and is: likely personally to ex-
amine many—if not all—of the
requests, Should the Mayor also
deny the request for a release,
then—
3-—The employee may appeal to
the War Manpower Commis-
sion. Now follow the remainder
of this paragraph carefully. Au-
thority for the purpose of this
appeal has been delegated by
the War Manpower Commission
to the Regional Review Board,
Second United States Civil Ser-
vice Region, Room 520, 641
Washington Street, New York
City. Remember, at this point
it isn't the City Civil Service
Commission which takes over—
don’t go there wth your appeal,
Now, if the Regional Review
Board should turn you down—
\—There is still another avail-
able appeal, this time to the
Area Management Labor Com-
mittee of the War Manpower
Commission. The address is 7th
Floor, 500 Fifth Avenue, New
York City.
How about the time you have
to wait while going through
these processes? The War
Manpower Commission, assures
that the WMC will ‘expedite
every case. If the employee
feels at any point in this process
that he has waited a reasonable
time but isn’t getting anywhere,
he has the right to call the WMC
(CHickering 4-8800) and ask
that action be speeded up. Rea-
sonable waiting time is three
days to a week. The City cannot,
under the law, prejudice the
rights of any employee by hold-
ing up his application for a re-
lease.
The procedure ts thus
definite, and decisive. It may
be that “bugs” will appear in
the actual functioning of the
plant, If they do, every endeavor
will be made to fix them. The
plan results from long negotia-
tion between the Mayor and the
WMC.
clear,
Mayor La Guardia personally
deserves high praise for his co-
operation during the negotia-
tions, say the War Manpower
officials who worked with him,
Especial credit was given by
WMC officials to Mr. Saul Mills,
CIO representative on the Area
Labor - Management Committee,
for his part in helping to put
through the procedure finally
adopted. And Mr. Mills revealed
this week that the repres
tive of a city employee or
tion, James King, of the State,
County and Municipal Workers,
will act as his alternate on the
Labor - Management Committee
when employee appeals are up
for consideraion.
There are no exceptions, no
exclusions, to the plan as it now
stands. Any City employee has
the right to request a statement
of availabiliy, and to make full
use of the procedure set up,
which goes into effect as this is
printed.

Answers Are Disputed by Candidates
Taking Grade 4 Clerk Promotion Test
by JEROME YALE
“The test was fair, maybe a little tricky in spots, but
on the whole it w.
n’t bad”: That w.
s the comment of
City employees after taking the first part of the promo-
tional test to Clerk, Grade 4, held on Saturday, Novem-
ber 6.
Those who know civil service
tests say that the Civil Service
Commission must haye done a
good job, After some of the
former clerical promotion ex-
aminations, it was nothing un-
usual for candidates to come out
shouting “murder”, and a mo-
tion to lynch the Commission
could have been carried more
than once.
Protests Coming
However, candidates have until
November 19 to file their objec-
tions to the key answers, (which
appeared in last week’s LEAD-
ER) and a large number of
those who took the test are plan-
ning to voice their protests
against certain of the questions.
In general their plaint is as
follows: Many of the questions
required answers which were
matters of personal opinion,
Candidates believe that the an-
swers proposed by the Commis-
sion are wrong in some in-
stances; in others that two of
the alternative answers are
equally correct.
Question 5
For example, a number of the
clerks feel that the answer to
question number 5 on the ex-
amination is open to contest,
This is the question:
Suppose you have a provisional
stenographer working for you.
She is an excellent stenographer
and has rendered highly satis-
factory service for four months.

City employees in the armed forces are worried

hat their jobs will be waiting when they get back, and
Hye each received a pretty little card signed by the
y\yor which reassures them of that. But an examina-

Excellent Appointment Chances for
Men who Placed on P.D. Lieutenant List
When the
Police Department came ou
body as
Lieutenant
promotion roster for the
last Wednesday, it hit every-
1 complete surprise.
Frankly, not even Harry
W. Marsh, President of the Civil Service Commission
had expected it, and informed our reporter it might not
be out until Christmas.
“How come?” we asked the
Civil Service head. So he wrote
us this letter:

how it happens that the Police
Lieutenant's List is published at
this time, I have to advise you
that the publication of this list
as it appeared under the ap-
proved matters of the calendar
today was a surprise to me, I
understand from the Examining
Division that the congestion
there was such that it would be
several weeks before the rating
of the papers could be completed.
I am sorry if I misled anyone
as to the time it would take to
complete the rating of these
papers.”
The examination h d_ been
held on January 9, 1943, and the
interval of 10 months is not con-
sidered too long before the
time the list is published, The
preceding Police Lieutenant
exam was held November 18,
1939, and the list published Sep-
tember 11, 1940—-about the same
interval of time passing.

ies of appointment from the

cause the Comptroller's Office

on the list} but there has been
no word from the Commissioner
on this yet.
The list as a whole contains
398 names. How many of these
men may reasonably anticipate
appointrient during the four-
year life of the roster? Well,
Jet’s compare it with some of #he
older lists. The September 11,
1940, list contained only 203
names. it appointments from
that list were made September
26, 1940, when 74 Sergeants were
appointed to the higher rank,
The final appointment was made
July 11, 1942, less than 2 years
later, and the final eligible's
number was 203. In other words,
every man on that list got an
appointment in a period of one
year and 10 months.
Assuming that the present list
moves with the same rapidity
as the former register, there is
reason to hope that every man
on the list wili obtain a
lieutenancy, Moreover, if the
manpower situation should be-
come such as to permit the re-
tirement of a lot of the older
men who want to retire, it
means a general upward sweep
through the department, with
the men from the new list prof-
iting thereby. So, boys, there's
room for enthusiasm, if you're
on the new list.
The List
An examination of the list it-
self reveals some interesting
facts about the men who par-
ticipated in the test, First, al-
though seniority and _ record
received a comparatively high
rating (50%), a surprisingly
large number of the men who
made the list are “new” men—
that is, with minimum seniority.
The last 16 names are all such
men. And as you go through the
seniority and record rating,
you'll find 91 names with a sen-
jority rating of 80,000. That's
minimum, and an unusually
high number, If you step up the
niority and record to 83.00,
you'll find 124 men—nearly one-
third of the Sergeants who pass-
ed—on or below that figure.
Kreidmacker, number 1 man,
made the phenomenal grade of
90.4 on the written test, and a
seniority and record rating of
Examined
92,00, His total was 91,20, His
runner up, W. H. Reimels, had
the same seniority but was 5.4
below Kreidmacker on
the written test. An interesting
fact about the top three men is
that their seniority and record
achievements include no cita-
tions. They got it all the hard
way!
Of the newer men, Philip J.
‘Walsh, John M. Bou, and J, W.
Flynn made the best grades on
the written test, earning 88.60,
84.2, and 89.4 respectively.
Kreidmacker remains the only
man to have passed the 90
mark on the written test. That's
some going! The last man on
the list, J. J. McEnery, Jr,
squeaked through with the min-
imum on both counts—70,00 on
the written, 80.00 on seniority
and record.
May Examine Papers
As is usual, men who com-
peted on this examination and
think they should have higher
grades—or those who failed and
think they should have passed—
may have the opportunity to
check their papers at the Record
Room of the Civil Service Com-
mission, 96 Duane Street, New
York City. Here the Sergeants
will find @ listing of answers
prepared by the examiners of the
Commission, against which they
may compare their own answers.
(Those papers are all waxed, by
the way, to make sure that no
alterations can be accomplished
in them.) Men who feel that
they deserve a better grade, may
file an appeal with the Com-
mission's Committee on Mani-
fest Errors. But your appeal
had better be good, and but-
tressed substantially with au-
thoritative sources, for the Com-
mittee on Manifest Errors
doesn’t very often grant these
appeals,

w RATINGS IN THE NAVY
HERE ARE NEW RATINGS—and that means new opportuni~
in the Navy. In a far-reaching reorganization of the Navy
tructure, 17 new ratings and many new subdivisions of
been established for enlisted men,
tirely new types of ratings have been set sp—Special
iicer, Auship Rigger and Ship's Service Man, and 14 new
jes Have been set up for ratings now available, ‘This means that
you ave now in the Navy, or if upon induction, you should be
si to the Navy, there are 89 special fields of work into which you
y enter. Only @ year ago, there were 49 such groups. The new

himself in a field of work which he likes,
rhe new grades for ratings already established are these:
Metalsmith, 3rd Class
Chief Molder
Molder, 3rd Class
Chief Painter
Buglemaster, 3rd Class
Chief Musician
Musician, 3rd Class
What this listinss means Is that new grades—both higher and
er than the existing ones, haye been added. Thus, until now,
(op rating for a Musician was Musician First Class, paying $114
hn, ‘The new rating, Chief Musician, makes it possible for
ed man to earn $138 a month. On the other hand, the
ss ratings, mostly in the Artificer branch of the Sery-
blished as part of a general rearrangement of the
i this branch, Previously, the artificer equivalents
. had been Fireman, Third Class; Seaman,
had been Fireman, Second Class, and Petty Officer,
d been Firemen, First Class, Under the new system,
Class and Second Class, will become equivalent of

SANITATION
Overtime Pay
Pleasant Hope
Overtime work in the under-
staffed Department of Sanita-
tion is common, Overtime pay
is still a pleasant hope. In an
effort to bring the hope to
reality, Local 333, State, County
and Municipal Workers of Amer-
ica, CIO, has taken the matter
of overtime pay up with
Commissioner William F. Carey
of Sanitation, and the Mayor.
In its plea for overtime pay,
the union presents the following
arguments:
]—Sanitation today has less
men than at any time with-
in the last 15 years. Hundreds
have resigned, over 1000 are in
the armed forces, replacements
« haven't been made,
Overwork in the depart-
ment is resulting in an in-
crease in absenteeism due to
sickness. Morale is at a new
low.
As a solution, the union pro-
poses passage of the City Coun-
cil bill to grant overtime pay for
work over eight hours and for
Sunday work, and holidays off
with pay.
Sanitation Crafts
Form Joint Group
Sanitation employees enrolled
in AFL craft unions have
formed a joint committee to
work with the American Federa-
tion of State, County and Mu-
nicipal Empioyees in matters af-
fecting the members of the de-
partment staff.
Following are members of the
Joint
body, composed of pr
of the AFL locals: Er
International Associa-
tion of Machini: Matthew A.
McConville, International Union
of Operating Engineers (port-
able and hoisting)); Michael D.
Connors, Internetional Union of
Operating Engineers (station-
ary).
6,000 Expected at
Holy Name
Eleventh annual entertain-
ment and dance of the Holy
Name Society of the Department
of Sanitation will take place in
the Grand Ballroom of the Ho-
tel St. George, on Saturday eve-
ning, November 20,
A program of 12 acts featuring
stage, radio and screen artists
will be offered. Six thousand

Firemen To Get
Back Pay
An Appellate Division verdict
last week upheld the right of
1017 firemen to a_ starting
salary of $2,000, and the back-
pay difference between that
amount for their 6 month pro-
bationary period and the $1,200
which they were paid, Each of
the men would get approximate- |
ly $400, (recently the police in |
a similar case—the Schneider |
case—won this amount). |
The catch is here: When
large sums of money are in-
volved the City invariably ap-
peals decisions of the Appellate |
Division, This means the case
goes next to the Court of Ap-
peals for another legal battle.
Alfred J. Talley, Attorney for
the Uniformed Firemen’s Asso-
ciation, is handling the matter.

Shoving The Boys Around
ah
HE veterans of World War II are beginning to
return in large numbers.
to find many questions about their rights and
privileges in a state of confusion,
And they’re returning
The status of
the veteran is something which must be cleared up fast,
or else it’s going to throw the whole civil service set-up
into a turmoi
Moreover, the present woozy situation
works definite unfairness on the returning men.
It may
be added, in passing, that despite the holy-holy assur-
ances to the boys that everything would be done for
them, the truth is that everything is not being done for
them, and in some cases they are getting an awful kick-
ing around,
Thus, in New York City we have returning
soldiers and sailors who were ass
red their jobs would be
waiting for them, The jobs are waiting, all right, but
the salary is $1 a year!
There is confusion confounded
in interpreting what happens to veterans on promotion
lists, on preferred lists, veterans who missed exams they
might have taken, veterans whose jobs have been elim-
inated,
Now, it’s perfectly true that it wasn’t possible to fore-
see every situation that would arise.
But though the
problem may be complicated, it shouldn’t prove too dif-
ficult to solve, if we start with the premise that every
veteran who was a Government employee or an eligible
on a civil service list before entering service, deserves the
right to the same status which would have been his had
he remained a civilian,
It might perhaps not be a bad idea for a committee
of New York City, New York State, and Federal adminis-
trators to set up a special unit for the purpose of dealing
with veterans’ problems.
Let's stop shoving the boys around!

These Girls
Deserve a Salute
Sirs: The Navalettes are a
group of Federal employees at
the Naval Receiving Station and
Navy Yard, Brooklyn, N. Y., a
group with friends and relatives
in the armed forces and a group
which understands this war,
Though we may not wear uni-
forms we're a group doing a
swell war job,
Last April, we girls decided to
do something more than our
daily war job for which we are
paid, Fifteen of us donated our
blood to the Red Cross. We then
adopted a Navy Destroyer for
whose crew we knit, send pack-
ages and subscriptions to maga-
s. We write to the men reg-
y and last June we spon-
sored a very successful dance
for the crew at the Hotel Bos-
sert. Since then we have given
another affair and held our third
dance on November 15th, at the
Plaza Caterers, Flatbush Ave,
Extension, Brooklyn,
We have just submitted a list
of twenty volunteers to the Red
Cross Blood Bank.
One of the most important
yveasons for our desired publicity
is to encourage other groups of
women to direct their efforts to-
ward helping the armed service
as we are doing.

understand why I have never

filed my application in New
York City and Washington more
than six months ago. I write let-

except an acknowledgement sev-
eral months later, A visit to 641
Washington Streets brings no
better results.

There are many reasons why
you may not be appointed,
Among other things, it is prob- |
ably that departments to which
your name has been submitted

Employees Wanted
Sirs: I enjoyed the article in
this week's LEADER on “How
Civil Service Can Be Improved,"
But it brings one question to my
mind, As a civil service em-
ployee, I'd like to know how the
civil service worker's lot can be
improved. There should be some
plan to make us feel like human
beings, not just machines per-
forming routine hum-drum tasks
day after day in surroundings
of red tape and regulations,
What about the people who
work in the framework of civil
service, has Mr, Kaplan any an-
swers to our need for improve-
ment?

Why Girls
Leave Vets...
Leading excuse for girls leay-
ing Vets is this: “I'm off to join
my husband in the Army (Navy,
Marines or Coast Guard),’’
Second leading reason is this:
“T can't stand the eyestrain.”
Then, quite often, Vets get
a letter from another agency
that the ex-employee is back in
the Federal service, and will
Vets please send them a copy of
her record.
Another Reason
But I've just learned another
reason, There's a little place on
the corner of 10th Street and
Third Avenue which is popular
with some of the Vets (female)
lately. Its a laboratory which
takes tests and tells the cus-
tomers whether or not they're
on the way to being a momma,
Seems that last week a quar-

of the “Dewey team,” meaning
the key-players in the State ad-
ministration, The notion seemed
to click with the voters, for they
voted ‘‘to keep the team intact”
by electing a Republican as Lieu-
tenant Governor,
There's another team on Capi-
tol Hill in Albany and it con-

Association of State Civil Serv-
ice Employees, the captain and
quarter-back of which is soft-

old John Fisher, who has just
been elected for his third term
as president of that organiza~
tion.
Fisher, now finance officer in
the State Department and in di-
rect charge of the collection of
fees, licenses and income from
such activities as the corpora-
tions bureau, real estate 32: 2ers,
private detectives, and the fi-
nancing activities of the State
Racing and Boxing Commissions,
began as a page boy in the Sec-
retary of State's office just 32
years ago. He started working
for the State in the era when
pay raises depended on whom
you knew and how many wires
you were able to pull. He has
watched the progress and devel-
opment of the merit system and
the actuality of “career possi-
bilities in public service,”
“We recognize progress both
in the elevation of State stand-
ards and personnel and of career
opportunities, but we are not
satisfied that the highest goal
has been reached,” he said,
Fisher always uses the pronoun
“we”, symbol of the team-work
of the group he heads,

Fisher has been active in affairs
of the Association for 13 years,
dating back to 1930 when hy
became a member of the 1."¥

No matter what you thought,

Feiegates were to tell PBA offi~

asco, That was the day of the
PBA delegate meeting.
‘The attendance at the meet=
was unusually large, Every
Helegate Who could get there at-
ended. Never were there so
many patrolmen (non-delegates)
present.
By an unfortunate misde~
meanor of fate the usual meet
ng hall was not available. In-
tead of the large, roomy, com-
fovtable meeting place the dele~
ates and visitors were shuttled
into a couple of small adjoining
ooms which, together, were
ne-fourth the size of the usual
all,
The crowded room prevented
the expected oratory from flour=
hing. There was simply no
toom for a speaker to wave his

und that they had to keep

ut when Pat got through
praking there was no responsi-
ity left for anyone present to

accept. Pat conipletely absolved
himself, other PBA officers, and
PBA advisers from all blame by
proving conclusively that the
fault was the Court’s, “Show me
one word in Section 19-A”, Pat
thundered defiantly, “that pre-
vents us from amending the
Charter in the manner that we
have attempted!”
One delegate commented on
Harnedy’s legal treatise: “We
lost because we didn’t have a
couple of more legal experts like
Brae on the Court of Ap-
peals.’
So it’s plain as day, fellas, No-
body made a mistake except you.
Popular Vote Beaten
Discussion of the bonus boner
consumed so much time that
there was little time left for any
other business, But as if to
prove that nothing makes any
difference, the proposed amend-
ment to the by-laws providing
for popular election of PBA of-
ficers was again defeated. Noth-
ing daunted, Donovan dropped
an identical amendment into the
hopper at the meeting. That will
bring the matter up again at
the next meeting,
New Drive Launched
As long as the present system
of the election of PBA officers
continues there will be brave
and hardy souls who will try to
change it, A new group is or-
ganizing for that purpose right
now. Reacting as the ordinary
cop to the bonus fiasco, with the
spirit of “Dammit, now's the
time to strike,” these men are
preparing a new campaign for
popular election of PBA officers
and annual election of dele-
gates. At their request we print
the following letter;
TO MEMBERS OF THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT:
We have just been deprived of
@ $450 wage adjustment, The re-
cent referendum fiasco was the
culmination of a long series of
mistakes made by the leaders
and delegates of the Patrolmen’s
Benevolent Association,
The rank and file members of
the PBA did all that was asked
of them. They worked willingly
at the arduous task of securing
the necessary signatures and
creating the essential good-will
for the success of the plan. The
responsibility for the selection
of this plan, that was pre-des-
tined to fail, lies squarely on the
shoulders of those who should,
but do not represent us.
This one act simply highlights
a condition that has existed far
too long. Under the present sys-
tem the individual member has
no chance to express his wishes,
It is clear that our present rep-
resentatives need the stimulus
that the annual test of popular
election would afford.
If the members of the PBA
are not to continue to suffer
from the inept leadership of
their representatives, two simple
reforms are essential:

placement Schedule Plan, Here's
how it operates:
Marital Status. As a rule,
married men are scheduled
for more time than single men of
equal employment status, Sim-
ilarly, married men with chil-
dren are scheduled for more time
childless, married men,
However, men married subse-
quent to Pearl Harbor are con-
sidered the same as single men,
and men having children con-
ceived on or after September 15,
1942 are given no extra defer-
ment. Single men, over 25 years
of age are given more considera-
tion than younger single men of
equal employment status. How-
ever, married and single men are
given equal consideration in the
professions and in those higher
supervisory positions requiring
‘unusual skill, training and ex-
perience, such as those of Lead-
ingmen, Quartermen, Progress-
men and Planners and Esti-
mators,
Skill, All employees, regard-
less of skill or length of em-
ployment, are given some con-
sideration, other things being
equal, Generally speaking, for

Promotions
On the promotional side of
life, things look equally bleak
for the service men. A steady
stream of men in uniform is ap-
pearing at the offices of the
Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission to inquire about promo-
tional examinations they missed
because of service in the Army
er Navy. They fill out a form
and are told they will receive
@ special examination, “When?”
That's still unanswerable. No
special exams for returning serv-
ice men have been given or are
scheduled at the present time,
‘Take the case of Walter Hoff-
man, clerk, grade 3 in Depart-
ment of Sanitation, He got his
discharge and returned to the
City about one week before the
Clerk, Grade 4 examination was
to be held, He was told by the
Commission to take the ex-
amination on the regular date.
‘With no chance to study for the
test, away from the job for a
long time, he may feel that he
isn't getting too good a deal.
Many other ticklish problems
come up on this point, and the
only word around the Civil Serv-
ice Commission is that the law
is vague on this business of
service men’s promotional rights,

(Continued from page 9)
laborers married before Pearl
Harbor and haying children born
prior to Sept, 15, 1942, are given
an excellent “break.”
Reopening of Cases. The Se-
lective Service Regulations re-
garding the filing of appeals
within the ten-day period pro-
vided for that purpose, have not
-been changed; but they have
been modified to permit the em-
ployer the right of appeal for
employees included on an ap-
proved Replacement Schedule,
regardless of how long they may
have been in Class 1-A and re-
gardless of whether or not this
classification was given by an
Appeal Board. It is compulsory
upon the part of Local Boards to
reopen cases of employees in
whose behalf claims for occupa-
tional deferment are filed by the
Yard under an approved, Re-
placement Schedule, The Local
Board must then mail the regis-
trant a second 1-A card, if he is
continued in 1-A, There is the
same right of appeal within ten
days to this second 1-A classifi-
cation. The Local Board may is-
sue induction orders whenever
it pleases, but no such induction
orders are legal if effective dur-
ing this ten-day period.
‘The “Critical Occupations”
The Navy Yard employee has,
possibly, more to worry about |:
from his own actions than from
the Replacement Schedule. For
example, he can speed up his
own induction very easily in the
following ways:
1, Failure to promptly notify
his Shop Personnel Supervisor of
his Draft Board physical, 1-A
classification or induction or-
ders,
2. Failure to immediately fill
out forms that he is given to fill
out. Tnaccuracies often cause
considerable delays,

How many boys from
Civil Service
won't come back?
NOBODY knows the exact number. Nobody. But—
The number who do come back—on their own two
feet instead of in a flag-draped box—will be in exact
proportion to the job we do here at home.
For every minute that we can help shorten the war ‘will
mean more lives saved. ‘(213 Americans were killed
in the final day of the last war, and 1,114 were wounded
before the 11:00 o’clock Armistice took effect. )}
Now one way all of us can help shorten the war is to
tighten our belts and buy more War Bonds. _Yes, still
more. And.» »
If you think you’re Buying all the War Bonds you are
able to, imagine—for a minute—that it’s after the
war ees
+» « you're standing at the station . » » a bunch of
home-town boys, still in uniform, climb off the train
+ +» one of them kisses his wife and grabs his kid in
his arms » » »
« « » and then he turns to a young woman beside them,
a girl who looks like his wife’s sister, and you overhear
him say . s+
“Catherine, I don’t know how to tell you how sorry I
am... it’s such a shame about Joe . . . it makes
me sick all over when I think how he’d be here today,
if the war had only ended a week sooner.”
Think it over, Can’t you buy a few more War Bonds
to help end the war that week or month sooner? Sure,
it may mean giving up something, but what’s that
compared to what they’re giving up? And remember,
always—The money you “can’t spare” may spare a
soldier’s life!

MENTAL HYGIENE
Probation Time
Now Nine Months
ALBANY: Governor Dewey’
has signed a resolution adopted
by the Civil Service Commission
at the request of Mental Hygiene
Commissioner Frederick Mac
Curdy extending the probation~
ary period for attendants and
nurses in ward service in mental
hygiene institutions from three
to nine months,
In all other departments and
agencies, as heretofore, the pro-
bationary period remains at
three months with the proviso
that any probationer may be dis-
missed any time after the first
month for unsatisfactory “con-
duct, capacity or fitness.”
The order affecting new em-
ployees (attendants and nurses)
in. mental hygiene is now in ef-
fect. In response to such ques-
tions as: Since permanent ap-
pointment for these probationers
will not occur now until nine
months of service, how will that
affect their increment status?
Is it fair to retain an employee
for nine months before inform-
ing him that his services are un-
Satisfactory? Why is an excep-
tion being made in the duration
of the probationary period for
mental hygiene employees?
What is the purpose of the nine-
months probation period and
what are plans of the depart-
ment with respect to this per-
sonnel?—Dr, Mac Curdy made
this statement:
“Under the prevailing set-up
we employed attendants at a
salary, say, of $1,200 to $1,600.
Most of these recruits are un-
trained and may indeed be oth-
erwise unsatisfactory to handle
human beings as patients,
New Approach
“We are tackling this situa-
tion from a new approach, Af-
ter a recruit has been taken in-
to the service he will have a
month to adjust himself to the
routine of the institution,
“Then he will begin a formal
course of training, This will now
be compulsory. It will be a six
month’s course. As recruiting
wicks up—and we hope it will if
@ let down comes in the indus-
trial field, esp»ciaily among the
smaller plwits—we will switch
from individual training to
classes where instruction will be
designed to establish a higher
standard of nursing care. There
will be a uniform course for all
institutions and we are now pre-
paring the textual material.
To Watch Progress
“After completion of the
course we will have a couple of
months to watch the candidate's
progress before making a per-
manent appointment. This en-
tire nine months give us a peri-
Od of elasticity to observe the
attitudes and aptitudes of our
recruits.
Our responsiblity—the state's
responsibility —for the welfare
of the human beings entrusted
to our care makes it absoluteiy
compulsory that we obtain the
Proper personnel for their care.
A probationary period of three
months may be adequate to de-
termine the capabilities of a
stenographer, typist or clerk.
Those occupations deal with im-
material things, but our attend-
ants are engaged in dealing with
human beings. Three months is
not adequate to disclose the fit-
ness or unfitness of an untried
recruit in the work of handling
helpless human beings. We think
nine months will give us that
needed period of elasticity.
Start At Minimum
“Under this new plan recruits
will start at the minimum of
their grade, as usual. If they
make good within the probation-
ary period and are appointed
permanently they will be entit-
led to the first increment when
that comes due.
“Another thing to bear in
mind is that if a recruit should
lose out it does not mean that
he must leave the service, He
needn’t lose his status and the
advantages of such training as
he has acquired, for every effort
will be made to bring about his
reclassidcation into some other
job, for which he may be fitted,
providing there is no personality
disqualification.
No Dead End Job
“And still another thing to re-
member is that the job of at-
tendant is not a dead-end path,
We intend to help every compe-
tent employee to help himself to
go up the ladder, if his educa-
tional qualifications and train-
ing and so on are promising
we hope to see him go on up
into the practical nursing
bracket, the grade above,
“We have asked the budget
director, in our budget request,
to provide us next year with a
director of nurses, a new posi-
tion. The director would have
general supervision of our 17
schools of nursing and would be
in charge of the in-training
course for attendants and
nurses.”
And there is Dr. Mac Curdy’s
story.
ANSWERS
Grade 3
Clerk Test
Below is a set of unofficial
tentative key answers to the
Clerk Grade 3 examination held
on Saturday, November 13, The
answers have been prepared by
three experts. The consensus of
opinion among these men is that
in several respects this examina-
tion is one of the most tricky,
stupid, poorly-constructed test-
ing instruments devised by the
Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion in recent years. They say
that many of the questions are
badly worded; others are sus-
ceptible to 3 out of the 4 possible
answers given; still others are
provided with alternatives all of
which are crude or far-fetched,
The last four questions (77 to
80) had to be stricken out be-
cause the examiners neglected to
provide all the necessary infor-
mation. The experts agree that
this test is not designed to do
what it purports to do— select
the personnel who will most ef~
fectively function as Grade 3
clerks, The answers provided
below are not guaranteed to be
in every case those which the
Commission's examiners, in their
wisdom, would like. Go over
them, compare them with your
own.

How Can Civil Service Be Improved
The article which follows below is the second in a ser-
ies of important pieces written by an outstanding civil
service expert. It goes deeply into the various aspects of civil
service and government personnel problems, and attempts
constructive suggestions for improvement, While discussing
the New York State civil service system, the principles and
conclusions cited may well be applied to municipal civil
service in any community, and has bearing on the Federal
scene as well. This is recommended reading for every ad-
ministrator and every employee in a supervisory position,

vice Reform Association,
The Job
What is the real job of a mod-
ern state personnel agency? It
is not solely to recruit and ex-
amine for positions, It should
@ssume the management of per-
sonnel affairs from the initial
point of attracting talent to the
service, through the processes of
selection, training, promotion,
and until separation from the
service, And through all this
period attention must be given
to every phase of personnel
management, from working con-
ditions of employees to privileges
of appointing officers and oper-
ating department heads,
The personnel agency must be
made strong in the sense that it
must exercise leadership and as-
sume the initiative in the man-
agement of personnel affairs, It
must not continue to be a mere
passive recruiting or examining
agency seeking only to find rea-
sonably qualified persons for
public employment. It must
strive to make the service at-
tractive enough to persuade the
most talented persons to seek
careers in the State service.
There is no good reason why we
cannot have in our State service
more employees of the type of
John Savage, of the U. S. Re-
elamation Service, designer and
builder of the Coulee and Boul-
der Dams; John C. Garand, in-
ventor of the Garand rifle, and
Isidor Lubin, of the U. 8. Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics, one of
the world’s leading statisticians,
These are exceptional individ-
uals developed in spite of the
short-comings of the merit sys-
tem as now practiced. The public
should become aware that per-
sonnel management is not the
task of amateurs and politicians
(not even that of technicians en-
grossed in the detailed machin-
ery of civil service practices and
procedures), but demands the
services of top-flight executives
of demonstrated capacity for
formulation and direction of
personnel policies and adminis-
tration. We have not been too
fortunate in securing that re-
sult,
The Director
The actual administration di-
rection, as distinguished from
executive control and policy-de-
termining functions, should be
vested in an able mangger or
director. He should be respon-
sible for recommending and
carrying out personnel policies,
His responsibility should be to
see that the work of the person-
Clerk Questions Disputed
(Continued from page 3)
Recently however, when an
emergency arose, she refused to
remain overtime to help com-
plete a special job. When you
discussed her insubordination
with her, she stated that she
was willing to work very hard
between the hours of 9 a.m, and
5 p.m., but that she would posi-
tively not remain overtime for
@ny reason whatsoever, Her
reasons for this attitude are not
Such as would entitle her to
special consideration. A compli-
eating factor is that efficient
Stenographers are very difficult
to secure during present condi-
tions. Of the following, the best
action for you to take is to
A. give her a chance to resign
informing her that if she does
not do so, you will be forced to
recommend her dismissal.
B. make her situation at the
office vefy uncomfortable so
that she will resign.
C. Permit her to continue to
work at her own terms,
D. Recommend her dismissal
immediately on grounds of in-
subordination,
‘The Commission gave “A” as
the correct answer.
Dissenting employees are of
this opinion; It is manifestly
unfair to expect a provisional
employee to work overtime for
which she will not receive any
extra payment. If she is perform-
ing satisfactory work during
regular office hours that is all
that can be expected of her.
While permanent employees who
pitch in and work overtime may
be rewarded with higher effic-
iency ratings, she has absolutely
nothing to gain, being a pro-
visional,
Number 9
Number 9 is another with
which some employees disagree.
This reads;
You are given a new assign-
ment and are put in charge of
a@ reproducing unit in a large
department, Many expensive re-
producing machines are used
in your unit. Upon study of
your breakage reports, you note
that serious breakages are con-
stantly occurring, You believe
that the employees may not
realize the expense involved and
have a tendency to be careless,
Of the following, it is best for
you first to:
A. up on charges the
person or persons responsible for
the wi
eccur,
B. call a staff meeting and
reprimand strongly the individ-
uals responsible for the break-
ages,
C, gradually turn your staff
over by transferring the old em-
ployees out and bringing in new
People,
D. put a small plate on each
machine giving the cost of the
machine, such as, “This machine
costs $2,100. It’s careful use
will be appreciated,
Here, the Commission says D
is the correct answer,
“Ridiculous,” is the comment
of the dissatisfied employees,
“Any dope,” says one candidate,
“knows that reproducing ma-
chines cost money. Putting on
@ tag like that one is a joke, A
staff meeting might be of some
help in correcting the situation,
About a Salesman
The next question, number
10, is also the subject of some
dispute,
Dealing with the problem of
handling a visiting salesman, the
question reads:
An office appliance specialty
machine salesman who calls
very frequently of late, is an-
nounced by the receptionist who
is located at a booth in the cor-
ridor, You feel that you should
see him, but at the same time,
you are quite busy and cannot
spare more than a few minutes,
To make it easier to get rid of
him under these circumstances,
you should:
A. Invite him into your office
for a chat,
B. Invite him into your office,
but act distantly and coldly
toward him,
C. Walk out to the corridor
@nd speak to him there,
D. fuse to see him,
the Commission says is
correct. “Wrong”, say some of
those who took the test. It's bad
business policy to hold talks in
the corridors, He should either
be invited in, or told you can’t
see him, by the receptionist who
should add that you are looking
forward to seeing him on his
next visit.
Part 2 Awaited
While waiting for the results
of the examination to appear,
those who took the test are
anxiously awaiting the second
part which will deal the work
