State Employee Representatives Pledge Full
Resources to Campaign for Higher Wages;
Statewide Drive Is Already Under Way

ALBANY, Jan. 26 — In an at-
mosphere of tense determination
representatives of State employ-

ees have pledged an all-out battle}
to obtain salary increases, The|
board of directors of the Civil

Budget Director's Letter
s Full of Holes

The State Budget Director has offered a case against pay)
raises in a lengthy letter to the Civil Service Employees Association, |
The trouble with his letter is basically this: It is the sort of thing
that ought to be brought up in negotiations rather than placing
& period upon negotiations. If the material in that letter had come|
before the negotiators, it would have been torn to pieces, and the
astute Mr. Hurd is surely aware of this.

The facts and figures are the sort which look awesome until
one looks closely. You can get two economists to scan the Budget's|
figures and come up with two different answers; three economists
Would come up with three different answers. Even the Budget office's
own figures give different answers, 2 answers selected ai
those which add up to no pay incr And the word * ted”
the correct one.

Depending on the source, Mr. Hurd cites a difference of five per-
cont on “average State salaries.” A difference of five percent on a}
$4,000 salary is $200, which is money in any employee's language,

He Disavowed His Own Survey

Of particular interest is Mr, Hurd’s disavowal of the salary survey
made precisely for this negotiation by the State Civil Service Depart-
ment. This survey shows that as of last October the pay of employees
in private industry was 6.7 percent ahead of the pay of State workers. |
‘That provides a powerful argument for bringing upward the pay of
State employees, But no! The Budget Director now says that the
survey, made at the suggestion of the Governor, by a State agency
specifically qualified for that purpose, is no good, Now we get a
glimmer of the reason why that survey has been kept secret from the}
public, There might be defects in the survey, but suppose it had

shown an opposite movement of wages, would it then too have been|
rejected?

68% Is Not 116%

No one could have been more surprised than were State em-
ployees when they were told that their salaries had risen 116 percent
since October, 1942, What are the facts? It is worthwhile to glan
at a group of typical titles, see what the pay was in 1942 and in
1952, and the percentage of increase

A janitor earned $1,300 to $1,700 in 1942; $2,180 to $2,984 in 1952
That means he has gone up 68 percent at the minimum, 76 percent
at the maximum.

A groundsman earned $1,200 to $1,700 in 1942, $2,180 to $2,984)
in 1952. His increase at minimum was 82 percent, at maximum 76
percent.

A carpenter earned $1,800 to $2,300 in 1942; $3,001 to $3,891 in
His percentage increase is 72 and 69.

In the same way, it will be found that a graduate nurse has gone

up 76 percent at maximum; a senior clerk, 70 percent; a junior civil

engineer, 63 percent; a junior statistician, 68 percent.

There is no 116 percent in these figures. And the State employee
who has to raise a family at present prices and pay present taxes
knows it well. Would the Legislature be interested in learning that
more than one out of two State employees is compelled to hold a
second job or to have another member of the family working? That)
is a fact

Or perhaps in reaching the 116 percent figure, the Budget Di-
rector Included the sharp jump in the miserable pay of Mental Hy-
giene employees a decade ago. If this is the case, it is the height of

Jesse B. McFarland, pr
of the Association, read letters and
telegrams from employees in all
‘ts of the State which indicated
explosive feeling about the issue.

There is deep resentment about
the report that the administration
deems employees to be apathetic
about @ raise.

The vote to wage an all-out
campaign was unanimous and
board members expressed them-

selves as ready “to pitch in and
do whatever must be done.”

State Figures Disputed

Mr, McParland said: “We can-
not accept the reasoning of the
Budget Director that there is no
ed for pay raise at this time.
The statement that State em-
ployees have received an increase
116 percent is definitely mis-
leading, as pay checks so plainly
show. The cost of living has ad-
vanced 90.7 percent since 1940.
State salaries have advanced much
less than the change in the cost-
of-living. A composite index shows
that salaries in business and in-
dustry have advanced more than
the cost-of-living.

“We are anxious also that the
public know that fringe benefits,
as to leaves granted State em-
ployees, ate not substantially
greater than those in effect in pro-
gressive private employment. In
fact, the State still continues the
48-hour week for more than 20,000
employees.”

handed.” He estimated that the

cost of a pay increase could be|

financed without raising State
taxes if costs were trimmed in
other directions. It has been ob-
served in this respect that Budget|
Director T, Norman Hurd has not
pleaded poverty as a reason for
denying a pay raise.

In the meantime, the 180 local
units of the 56,000-member Civil

Service Employees Association
were rapidly getting into action,

For Running State

proposal to reorganize the State
Civil Service Commission was
expected to reach the Legislature |
this week. Hammered out after}
months of work by the staff of
Senator Walter J. Mahoney's
Commission on Coordination of
State Activities, the new bill will
apparently represent an attempt
to accomplish two objectives

1, Meet the Governor's expressed
desire for swifter, more efficient
personnel action;

2, Meet objections which de
feated last year’s attempt to re:
organize the State's Personnel
Board.

The new bill, which had not

A _newbeen drafted in final form as this

was written, will probably contain
these principles:

1. The three-man bipartisan
Civil Service Commission is con-
tinued.

2, The president of the Commis-
sion is designated by the Governor
rather than elected by the com-
missioners themselves, as at pres
ent.

3, All three commissioners serve
full time. The pay of the Com-
mission president will be set to
equal that of other top department
heads, and he will become a mem-
ber of the Governor's cabinet. The

More State Exams
Held in 1952

ALBANY, Jan, 26 — The State
Civil Service Commission held
more examinations and filled more
permanent positions in 1952 than
in any year in its 70-year history,
Commission President J. Edward
Conway revealed this week.

pite the tight labor market
and recruiting difficulties in some

occupations, Mr. Conway said,
there were more applicants for
positions under the State's merit
system than in any recent year

except 1949.
In 1952 there were 1,054 exam
inations for positions in State and

| local governments, for which there

were 64,462 applicants, Examina=
tions completed during the year,
including some held during the
latter part of 1951, numbered
2,021, breaking another record.
Of the 1,954 examinations held
during the past year, 696 were for
State positions, The rest were for
various counties, cities, towns, Vike

Insurance Fund Employees
Bitter Over Turndown
Of Pay Increase by State

‘The following letter of comment
on the State pay situation has been
Prepared by William Price, presi-
dent of the State Insurance Fund
chapter, Civil Service Employees
Association:

“Now is the time for the PARTY
to come to the aid of every good
man.

“The above switch of a well-
known phrase universally used in
typing practice is apt and appro-
priate since Governor Dewey is
again overlooking the forgotten
People—the civil servants. During
the recent Presidential campaign
he Was apparently aware that civil
service personnel were having
tough financial sledding, as the fol-
jowing quote from the New York
TIMES edition of November 3, 1952
would indicate:

“Most people in public life can-
not meet their obligations on their
salary.

“The situation has not changed
for these people from then ‘til now,
except possibly for the worse. If
the Governor was sincere at that
time, and not merely bidding for
civil service votes for Mr. Eisen-
hower, why doesn’t he hold out
some hope by proposing a proper
salary adjustment for the State
employees? He should do it now,
so these workers will not be on a
teeter-totter during the legislative

session.
Salary Lag

“The Consumer's Price Index
shows an increase of 88.7% since
1939, State salaries were adjusted
for the first time in 1943—this lag

equity in our present law. It is
absurd to follow the elaborate ma-
chinery for reclassification and to
obtain agreement that a position
should be assigned to a higher
grade and then to delay the effect
of such a reallocation for periods
ranging from three to six years,
Reallocation is based upon present
duties and responsibilities, Once it

worthy of a higher salary, there is
|no justification for delaying the
benefits which should accrue im-
mediately. There is no reason to
deprive the employee of the full
salary which his duties and posi-
tion concededly warrant.”

Third Bill

A third bill, jointly sponsored by
Senator Halpern and Orin S. Wil-
cox of Jefferson County, provides
that members of the State Employ-
ees Retirement System with at
least ten years of service who sep-
arate from service by reason other
than death or resignation may
elect to leave their contributions
on deposit with the system so that
they can receive a retirement al-
lowance when they reach the age
jat which they had elected to re-
|tire. “Many retirement systems in
private industries and the Federal
|Retirement System permit the
|procedure provided for in this
bill,” Senator Halpern pointed out.
“It is particularly important to
give this protection to civil service
employees because they are not
eligible for Social Security cover-
age during the time that they are
employed by the State. Thus, an
employee separated from member-
ship in the Retirement System
after many years of service, but
before he was eligible for retire-
ment under the present law, has
accumulated nothing toward his
retirement either to the State
system, or under the Federal So-
cial Security system.” +

Credit For Leave

Another measure introduced by
Senator Halpern—this one co-
sponsored with Assemblyman Leo
Noonan — would permit employees
who are on a leave of absence with-
out pay to obtain member service
credit if the leave is approved for
retirement purposes at any time by
the head of the department and
Comptroller, Under the present
law, such approval may be obtained
only before the leave commences
and it may be denied because there
is inadequate evidence of the seri-
ousness of the physical condition
which leads to such a request,

All four of these bills were intro-
duced at the request of the Civil
Service Employees Association, Inc,

Bill Seeks More Equitablo
Benefits in Upgradings

ALBANY, Jan, 26 — Senator

the new grade. continues:

“Hundreds of State employees| “If the Budget Director approves
have suffered, and others

will) an upward reallocation, to be ef-
Wilson (R.), Westchester, are) suffer, unless the section is|fective on the following April 1,
sponsoring identical bills to cor-| amended,” said Mr, Mosher, “I| persons who were at the maximum
rect an inequity whereby State em-

sincerely hope, on behalf of all
State employees, that the bill will
be enacted,”

Cites Typical Case

As a typical case, Mr. Moser
mentioned the senior hearing
stenographers, who were doing the
same work as principal hearing
stenographers, and who finally,
after years of effort, were up-
graded. Both are now in Grade 15,
| as hearing reporters. He points out
that some former hearing stenog-
raphers, with short length of ser-|
vice, even recent appointees, went
from minimum to maximum, an
increase of $1,000, but hearing
stenographers appointed 10 to 15
years previously, who were at
grade maximum, then G-10, and
therefore had received no incre-
ments for several years, upon re-
allocation received a proportionate
increment of only about $140, be-
cause they, too, went only to the
minimum of the new grade.

“I believe,” Mr, Mosher added,
“it would be just and proper at
least to have the old-timers p@t in
the maximum of their G-15 grade
immediately.”

He would want benefits made
retroactive,

of the old grade receive one an-
nual increment on April 1 and
another annual increment on each
April 1 until they reach the new
ceiling. Persons who were below
the new minimum will go, on next
April 1, to the new minimum, re-
gardless of how many increments
it may require to accomplish this,
Persons who on next April 1 would
be between the new minimum and
the old maximum, continue to go
upward by regular increment steps
until they reach the next maxi-
mum, and therefore get no imme
diate monetary benefit from the
reallocation.

“If the Budget Director had
electec to make the reallocation
before next April 1, all those be-
low the new minimum would go
immediately to the minimum; all
those who did not get an increment
Jast April 1, because they were at
the maximum, would get an incre-
ment immediately, and the others
would get nothing except a new
ceiling to work towards.

“That, I believe creates a grossly
inequitable situation.

“Tt is only fair that when a re«
allocation is approved that the in-
cumbents of the position should

Ployees, upon upward reallocation,
do not get the corresponding sal-
ary benefit that should go with
such action, and even employees
with short service records get big-
ger increases than those who have
been in the job much longer.

‘The measure would amend Sec-
tion 39B of the Civil Service Law,
which sets forth the method for
reallocation of titles, but contains
some ambiguous language that the
employees feel is being used in-
equitably-against their interests,

Widespread Effect

Sol Mosher of Brooklyn, an em-
ployee of the Division of Alcoholic
Beverage Control, has been ob-
taining support for the bill. He
helped to prepare the measure for
the Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation. He is departmental repre-
sentative on the Association's
board of directors,

‘The bill provides that, upon up-
ward reallocation, the occupant of
a title thus raised would go to the
corresponding salary step in the
higher grade. Those at the top of
the old grade would go to the top
of the new grade, those in in-
between steps would occupy a cor-

ees were registered at a meeting

chapter, CSEA, held Wednesday
ing, January 21

Director, informing them of th
z sentiments aroused by Mr
i's action.
ent also to State Sena-
s C, Desmond, and A:
Cc. Van Du
urged that Ne
et an example for
other states in recognition of the
needs of its civil servants.

Mr, Hurd, Middletown chapter
members said, had failed to con-
sider that many State employees

must work 48 hours a week to earn
a living wage, without the benefit
of time-and-a-half for overtime,
standard practice in private indus~
try. Other state workers must take
outside jobs to supplement their
income, the employees pointed out,
adding that New York State should
have the best civil servants, but too
many are discouraged because sal-
aries of many State jobs are low.

‘New State
Loyalty Bill
Introduced

ALBANY, Jan. 26 — A new State
‘loyalty law" has been introduced,
carrying forward the security law
which had originally been spon-
sored by the administration in 1951,
The act, on a year-to-year basis,
provides for dismissal or transfer
of employees who are found to be
subversives holding “sensitive” gov-
ernment posts.
| This year's bill includes a change,
giving an additional safeguard for
employees who may be caught up
in the stringencies of the act—the
right to be represented by an attor-
ney before the Civil Service Com-
} mission and to present evidence.
| Significant is the fact that since
enactment of the law two years ago

not a single employee has been
involved under it, The law provide
for dismissal or for transfer of an
}employee deemed a “bad risk” in

}a “sensitive position.

The bill was introduced by Sena-
tor Austin W. Erwin and Assembly-
man Orin 8. Wilcox.

While the original measure en-
countered strong opposition, the
sed| Dill is expected to be passed this
right, | Year without any trouble. Its pro-

visions apply to local as well as to
State employees.

Hiring Bill

Senior employment interviewers
and employment interviewers in
the NYC office of the Division of
Employment, State Labor Depart=
ment, have indorsed a bill to rem=
edy defects regarding indefinite
Ls ohne in the insurance ser«
vice.

On behalf of the new State Em-
ployment chapter, NYC and Sub«
urbs, Civil Service Employees As«
sociation, Al Reinhart and Theres
Kay Armeny studied the bill, and
reported to the membership on
questions raised concerning it.
They attended a meeting in Ale
bany at which the bill was dise
cussed.

The main objects of the group
are to obtain more mor from
Washington and to provide a bet-
ter job basis, in view of the ups
and downs of caseloads.

Affects Temporary Hiring

The bill which is to be intros
duced in Albany does not deal witht
the money question, but with tems
porary hiring, at present limited
to six months. The mor quese
tion will be taken up separately
and would concern directly the
hiring of enough temporaries to
cope with sudden caseload rises,

The bill applies to unemploye
ment insurance personnel only—
not the employment service—and
no other department of the State
would be affected by it,

One contention presented by
some members was that the bill
would permit a reduction in the
number of permanent positions,
This the two who studied the bil}
deny, Also, they report that it
would be unsound personnel prace
tice to authorize any such reduce
tion to favor temporary hiring,
To be written into the bill, theres
fore, will be a provision for annual
review of the number of permae
nent and indefinite positions,

Use of Eligible Lists

The indefinite appointments, by
the terms of the bill, are to be
made only from certified eligible
lists, This is to eliminate political
influence, at least so long as there
is an eligible list. The committee
advised that exams be held free
quently enough to make sure that
there Is always a list.

Another provision to be put into
the bill is that next lower permae
nent employees be promoted to
mporary promotion titles before
any indefinite appointments be
made to such titles,

A preferred list for indefinite
employees laid off, as distinguished
from @ permanent employee pree
ferred list, would be establishedy

and those on permanent lists
would be offered reemployment
first. Places on a permanent pre=

ferred list would not be lost
through acceptance of a tempore
ary appointment. There would be
@ separate promotion list for ine
definite employees,

Permanent employees are fully
protected in promotion, job tenure
and in layoffs, the committee ree
ported.

The bill was described as “ree
solving one of the two major probe

Ridgewood 27| lems affecting unemployment ins
Long Island City 6] surance operations.”

The act would expire June 30,
1958,

HOW DO YOU Justify the state-
ment that the U. 8, government
encourages interration of private
pensions with Social Security?

income tax exemption allowed to
the employer when prior Treasury
Department approval of the pen-
sion plan has been obtained,

lic employees have to take a re-
tirement allowance instead of the

public jobs at levels as low as $3,100.

There you have a reason — the main one — for the
present recruitment difficulties being experienced by the

State Civil Service Department at the professional en
trance level. The same troubles, and for the same reason,

are evident at the clerical level. These two levels are the
most clear-cut and reliable bench-marks for evaluating
the adequacy of any wage structure. Is it the belief of the
State administration that high-grade personnel can be

recruited for $500 to $2,000 less than the going rate?

U.S. Income Tax

With Special Analysis

By H. J. BERNARD

TAXPAYERS who don't mind
putting in a little Lime to prepare
their U. S. income tax returns in
nearly all instances will be able to
Rave money by itemizing their
deductions. This would require
using Long-Form 1040, and listing
on Page 3 of contributions, inter-
est, taxes; losses from fire, storm
or other casualty, or theft; medical
and dental expenses and miscel-
Janeous. The miscellaneous items
would include employee organiza-
tion dues, cost of uniforms not
suitable for ordinary wear, any
equipment needed for a job, and
safety devices, such as shoes with
steel-jacketed toes that some em-
Ployees wear at work,

‘The standard deduction is 10

xcent, or not more than $500.

¢ additional benefit arises from
the fact that the listing of actual
deductions may exceed 10 percent.

WHEN 4 retired NYC employee
takes a job with the State or
returns to City employ, and it
pays $1,800 or more a year, his
pension — the part paid by the
City — is suspended, but his an-
nuity — the part he buys with his
own money — goes on, But is this
true also, in regard to retired State
employees, who go back to work
for the State or for an employer
member of the State Retirement
System? O, J.

Answer — As to retired NYC
employees, who go to work for
the State or a local government
within the State, that is true. As
to retired State employees, full
retirement allowance may be sus-

pended, even for $1 of ineome,
Only jobs with the Federal
government or private industry

IN THE auto-engineman test |
that NYC is to open, probably in
March, what is the next promo-
tion step from this job? L. M. N.

Answer — The job is in the un-
graded service, hence there are no
trades that represent a promotion
“ladder,” Increases in pay are ob-
tainable, however.

existence prior to January 1, 1951,
and on discharge from the armed
forces find that others lower down
on the list, and with lesser prefer-
ence, have been appointed, What
happens in my case? L,W.
Answer—In the case of lists in
existence on January 1, 1951, if
persons lower down on that orig-
inal list, and entitled to the same
or lesser preference than you, were
appointed prior to that date, your
name should be placed on a spe-
cial military list, without the addi-
tion of preference points, But the
veteran status will be indicated
on the list by the Civil Service
Commission (NYC or State), and
retroactive seniority, equal to that
‘of the next lower eligible appointed,
would be accorded you,

MISSOURI has the highest travel allowance, $14.25 a day, and
employees of other States, and of the Pederal government, are trying
get their own allowances raised, because the allowance doesn't
over actual expenses, While the excess of cost over reimbursement
may be deducted from income for tax purposes, that still leaves the
average employee paying about 75 percent of the extra cost out of
Ais own pocket, ... The reclassification of NYC jobs gets started,
now that everything's set, under the Municipal Civil Service Com-
mission, which in annual reports has been pointing out the difficulty
of recruitment because of the low salaries offered by the City.

PLANS for the reorganization of the Federal Government are
further advanced than the public has been informed, The committee
that President Eisenhower appointed, headed by Nelson Rockefeller,

The answers to the second and

Plan for U.S.

of the most necessary reforms in
Federal employment, said James
P. McGranery, upon his leaving
the office of U.S. Attorney Gen-
eral, is to make a career service
of the legal jobs in the Depart-
ment of Justice, which he headed.
He has been succeeded by Herbert
Brownell Jr, who is studying
a 76-page report that Mr. Mc-
Granery wrote about the admin-
istration of the department, in-
cluding proposed improvements,
Mr, McGranery said that the
Attorney General himself should

94 U.S, attorneys from competitive
eligible lists, and that they should
thereby acquire status which en-
ables them to serve anywhere in

that practically all of the Federal
attorneys carry on private law
Practice, too, as it is permitted
now. He issued an order prohibit~
ing such practice after 1953, His
successor could cancel the bamg
but probably won't.

Present attorneys told Mr, Mes

to continue in Federal service une

merit system would afford, and @

Chautauqua

AT THE recent meeting of the
Chautauqua chapter, CSEA, min-
utes of the previous meeting were
read and approved, followed by
a report on membership growth.

Wage freeze, and vacation and
sick leave were the subjects under
discussion. The vacation and sick
leave request of the Highway As-
sociation was read, and the vaca-
tion time revised to read 12 days.
Mr. Solinger, president of the
group, suggested that the proposal
be thoroughly checked before it
was submitted to the supervisors,

George M. Stiles, chapter presi-
dent, mentioned that a suggestion
had been made to have refresh-
ments or a dinner at each meet-
ing. Roy Stoeltzing proposed that
money in the treasury be used for
that purpose. Mr, Solinger made
the motion that the chapter pay
@s much as possible of the price
of tickets for the annual dinner

A ‘etter from CSEA president
Jesse B. McParland, concerning
membership, was read, Mr. Stiles
urged that everyone help to in-
crease the number of members of
the organization,

DR. ROBERT AXEL, associate
director of the Bureau of Research
and Statistics, State Department
of Social Welfare, was honored
upon his retirement, after 21 years
of State service, at a party held
in Albany on January 15 in the
Bureau offices. About 120 present
and former employees of the De-

Informal talks felicitating Dr,
Axel on his retirement and prais-
ing his record of service were
made by Commissioner Robert T.!
Lansdale, Deputy Commissioner
Byron T. Hipple, Jr., and Research
Director Dr. David M. Schneider.
A three-piece set of leather lug-
gage and a fountain pen and pen-
cil set were presented to Dr. Axel
as gifts from his associates.

In an official communication
read at the party, Commissioner
Lansdale made the following com-
ments on Dr, Axel's record in the
Research Bureau:

“Your impending retirement
from State service after 21 years
of association with the research
program of this Department leaves
& gap that will be hard to fill. You
have been one of the pioneers in|
the application of research meth-
ods * the public welfare field.

“During your

years of service, |
public welfare activities have|
grown both in scope and com-|
plexity, requiring greater empha-|

sis upon the systematic collection,|
analysis, and interpretation of
facts pertinent to our operations.
The
your devotion to duty, and your

workers represent the highest |
standard of public service, This|
legacy of performance will be a

No Maximum Ag

e Limit

For These Federal Jobs;
Men, Women Past 700.K.

Under new regulations of the U. S, Civil Service Com-
mission there are no upper age limits for the following
jobs, among others, for which exams are now open.

The former maximum age of 62 has been rescinded.
Even persons of 70 or older may be appointed, but any-
body in that particular group would receive only a temp-
orary appointment, renewable on an annual basis, if work
Proves satisfactory.

Exams for which there were specific maximum age
limnits in the past — for instance, clerk-carrier, 50 — will
continue to have maximum age lim even though these
m+ry be changed, ther upward or downward. In prac-
tically all other instances, the upper age limits are off.

Jobs requiring physical agility or exertion, or fast
work under pressure, do have age limits, and will con-
tinue to have them. However, thousands of jobs are now
opened to those who are over age 62, even on more than
a temporary basis, if the applicants are under 70,

It's Difficult to Get

‘Straight’

Figures in Pay Negotiation

complex than most private em-
ployers, if for no other reason than
the sheer size of the employer,

A question that cannot be cate-
gorically answered is the number
of people who work for the State of
New York, The Department of
Audit and Control regularly issues
figures showing the number of
State workers, These figures show
that there are more than 60,000
State workers.

Another source of similar ma-
terial is the Division of Personnel
Research of the State Civil Service
:| Department, The Division of Per-
sonnel Research figures show that
there are 70,000 State workers.
Both figures are undoubtedly quite
| correc’ and can and have been rec-
tified and simply reflect different
groups of employees,

What's ‘Average Salary’?

The problem as far as the figure,
the “average State salary,” is
‘| equally complex. There are several
sources for this figure, too. In the

past, both the administration and
the Association have had the
“average State salary” available.

In wage negotiations, one of the
problems that confronts both sides
is a determination of the rate of
change of the wage level from one
period to another and also the ac-
tual wage or wages themselves.
How is this done in New York State
service? This question cannot be
angwered categorically or simply,

The problem of the wage level of
New York State service is more

3} why
-| “average State salary”

«| use of this figure pointed out above,

The Association has always felt
strongly that the use of the “aver-
age State salary” told too small a
portion of the story to warrant its
use. This {s one of the major rea.
sons why, for two years running,
the research staff of the Civil Ser-
vice Employees Association has
conducted its job-title comparison
studies, It feels strongly that this
provides an accurate figure as to
what happens to a stenographer,
clerk, attendant or any other job
from one period to another. The
Association feels that the signifi-
cant consideration in the problem
is what happened to the Job itself.
The occupation of carpenter now
and five years ago is the same oc-
cupation, and how much the pay of
the title carpenter has changed
from any given time is the im-
portant thing,

Increments Not a Pay Ratse

Average State salaries reflect the
effective increments, Increments
are not a pay raise in the custom-
ary sense and are given on the
basis of merit. The administration
is receiving greater value for its
money.

If it is decided to change the
Staffing pattern of an institution
so that there are more doctors in
relation to nurses, surely this co!

yet, it would be reflected in the fig-
ure, the “average State salary.”

+] An examination of the figure, the

“average State salary,” shows

,) clearly that during the years when

no general increase was given State
workers, there was still an upward

{) movement of the “average State

salary.” How can State salaries in-
crease without a pay raise?

‘These are some of the reasons
the Association feels the
should not
receive too much consideration in

;| evaluating the State salary prob-

lem.
No Year-by-Year Figures
In addition to weaknesses of the

another serious handicap is the
fact that there is not available a
consistent year-by-year figure to

»| use. To soundly evaluate trends,

any technician knows that consist-
ent figures are necessary; yet dur-
ing the past twelve years, there are
only seven reliable “average State
salary” figures available, To con-
sider as a prime factor the “aver-
age State salary,” as has been done
by the administration during the
current negotiations, means that a
serious and unnecessary blind spot
has been created.

supplemental pension act for an-

other two years.

The act covers employees who
were members of the State Re-
tirement System or the Teachers

ployers elected to join the supple-

mental plan.

Under this program such retire
workers who receive less

adopted the supplementary pension
plan to run until the end of March,

would retain the present formula,
which is added pension, and not a
“relief payment.

William MacKenzie, chairman of
the Assembly Ways and Means
Committee, and Walter J. Ma-

To Take Public Jobs as Clerks

ALBANY, Jan. 26 — Women
whose children have grown up and
left them with time on their hands
for productive work are being
urged by the State Civil Service
Commission to apply for 2,000 per-
manent civil service jobs as office
workers in all parts of the State.

Examinations will be held on
March 21 at 66 different loca-
tions, Applications must be filed
by February 9.

Mature Women Excellent

“We want to encourage women to
take this examination if they are
available for full-time permanent
employment,” Commission Pri
dent J. Edward Conway said.
have found that mature women
make excellent employees, even
though they may come to us with-
out training or previous office ex-
perience. There are hundreds
throughout the State service whose
accuracy, patience with detail work
and good judgment make them
prized members of office staffs.

“One of our own Civil Service
Department employees portrays
metamorphosis from housewife to
civil service employee in one of the
television shorts now being com-
pleted for us by the State Depart-
ment of Commerce for statewide
distribution next week. She is Mrs,
Miriam Livingston of Albany, who
came to work for us in 1948 while
her sons were in military service,”

It’s a Career

Adding a word from the woman's
viewpoint, Mrs, Livingston had this
to say:

“TI think any woman who wants
to start a new career should take
this exam, Who knows—she might
even be lucky enough to get a job
as interesting as mine, Lots of
women are timid about looking for
a job after years of housekeeping,
especially if they're on the far side
of 40, but they shouldn't be. Look
at_me—I'm a grandmother.”

Mrs. Livingston presides over the
busy civil service information office
in the lobby of the State Office
Building here. Last year, according
to Mr. Conway, 21,159 visits were
made to this office by residents of
the Capital District to get exami-
nation announcements, file appli-
cations or get other civil service
information

Provisionals Must Qualify

About 1770 provisional State
clerks must pass the clerk exam-
oad March 21 to hold their
jobs,

The State expects to fill about
2,000 jobs from the clerk series of
exams. Titles are clerk, account|
clerk, file clerk, statistics clerk
and mail and supply clerk,

There are not now 2,000 per-
manent vacancies, but as of De-
cember 1, 1952, there were 766 pro-
visionals and 249 unfilled jobs.
Another 1,000 vacancies are ex-
pected through promotion and
normal turnover by the time the
exam results are known. The re-
sults cannot be expected before
July, based on past performances.

Must Apply Agai

Examination Director Tflomas L,
Bransford has reminded personnel
officers to tell their provisionals to
apply for the test. Applications
made by provisionals at the time
of their employment are not valid
for the exam, because no fee was
paid at that time, and because a
different form is used,

As the Civil Service Department
explains it, unless a new applica-
tion were required at the time the
exam is announced, there would
be a great deal of difficulty in
keeping records on provisionals.

11,090 Appointments

During the year 11,090 perma-
nent appointments were made to
positions in the competitive class
of the State service.

An additional 982 appointments
in localities whose personnel pro-
grams are administered by the
ion are reported, Other
ppointments made from lists
gibles resulting from exami-
nations held by the Commission
are not reported to it.

The large number of permanent
State appointments has reduced
the number of “provisional” ap-
pointments from 17,864 on De

. New Plan to Reorganize State Civil Service
Commission Takes Shape; Drafted to Meet
Objections Which Defeated 1952 Measure

Budget Director Hurd
States His Case: ‘State Pay
Outstrips Private Wages’

ALBANY, Jan, 26 — Arguing
t&at State salaries have “out-
stripped” the cost of living and
pay in private industry, State Bud-
get Director T, Norman Hurd last
week defended his rejection of a
pay raise to State employees.

Clearly stung by cirticism in a
letter from Jesse B, McFarland,
President of the Civil Service Em-
Ployees Association, the Budget
head stated the economic case of
the administration in denying the
pay rise, It was deemed of interest
that the facts and statistics cited
by Mr. Hurd in his letter were the
kind that normally would be sub-
Ject to weighing and counter-argu-
ment in a negotiation, Negotiations
have, however, been broken off by
the administration's spokesman,

Denies He's ‘Ilogical’

Mr. Hurd denied the charge that
the administration's attitude is
“based solely upon the illogical
idea that the 6 per cent salary in-
crease granted state employees
after our negotiations last year can
be considered an offset to the de-
ficiencies which have accrued dur-
ing the current fiscal year.”

He asserted that “the need for
ry adjustments cannot be
ed solely upon any single fac-
tor but rather upon consideratior
of numerous factors and indic

‘No Satisfactory Information’

Considering arguments advanced
in favor of another general pay
increase this year, Mr. Hurd said:

“There is no satisfactory in-
formation available on average
state salaries for 1940. For this
reason it is obviously impossible to
compare average wages in private
industry with a hypothetical figure
for state salaries.”

A figure used by the civil serv-
ice association on 1940 state wage

New Title
Sought for
Interviewers

ALBANY, Jan, 26 — The Divi-
sion of Employment has applied
for reclassification of all positions
of assistant interviewer, grade 6,
to senior unemployment insur-
ance claims clerk, grade 6. In sup-
te of the request, it was stated
that:

1, The proposed title is more
descriptive of functions per-
formed.

2. The assistant interviewer title
is inaccurate, since incumbents do
not assist anyone nor is the inter-
viewing of @ professional caliber.

3. The prime function of incum-
s is the taking of routine in-
formation from claimants, a work
essentially clerical,

If these positions are recl:
fied, the Division of Employment
proposed that thereafter they will
be filled by promotion from among
clerical employees in grade 2 or
above, thus increasing the promo-|
tional opportunities for permanent
employees,

, the Division of Employ-
ment has the Civil Service Com-
mission's approval for one more
promotion examination for assist-|
ant unemployment — insurance
glaims examiner, Thereafter, va-

cancies for assistant UT claims ex-
aminers will be filled by open-
competitive examination, In thi
forthcoming promotion exam, as:
sistant interviewers with three
months of permanent service in
that title would be eligible. Cer.
tification from the resulting eli-
gible list would be confined to
candidates who have served for a
period of six months as assistant
interveiwer,

Before action is taken on the
Proposal, hearings will be con-
tucted, as follows:

In Albany, on Wednesday, Janu-
ary 28, 10 AM, Hearing Room
No, 2, State Office Building
Tn NYC, on Tuesday, February
10 A.M,, Room E, 6th floor, 270

levels “overlooks completely the
effect of reclassifications, realloca-
tions, increments and promotion,”
Mr. Hurd said. He asserted that
factors of this nature were re-
flected in the average wage figures
for private industry used for com~
parative purposes,
Price and Wage Indexes

“Since October, 1942, the first
year for which information on
average state salaries is available,
the consumers’ price index has in-
creased 60 per cent, the New York
Federal Reserve Bank index of
clerical and professional wages has
increased 80 per cent and the
composite of all wages and salaries
has increased 94 per cent,”

“The average state salary dur-
ing this same period has increased
116 per cent, based upon figures
compiled by the division of per-
sonnel research in the Department
of Civil Service,

Cost of Living Increases

+ “Compared with October, 1945,
the cost of living in October, 1952,
has increased 48 per cent, the index
of clerical and professional salaries
had gone up 53 per cent and the
composite index of all wages and!
salaries had increased 64 per cent. |
Average state salaries increased
52 per cent, based upon figures
compiled by the Division of Per-
sonnel Research and 57 per cent
based on the state Controller's
payroll data during this. period,

“Since our discussion we have
reviewed the pertinent salary and
other information using your rec-
ommendation of October, 1946, as
@ base. Here is what the figures
show with respect to increases
since that time:

“Consumers price index up 28
per cent, clerical and professional
salaries up 37 per cent, hourly
wages in manufacturing up 50 per
cent, weekly wages in manufactur-
ing up 53 per cent, composite of all
wages and salaries up 45 per cent,
average state salary (personnel
research) up 47 per cent and aver-
age state salary (state controller)
up 55 per cent,”

The Cost Is Up

Mr, Hurd's letter observed that
last year's general pay increase
was costing more than had been
anticipated and that it would cost
even more in the next fiscal year,
which starts April 1,

“I do not believe,” he concluded
“that I would be justified in chang-
ing my previous decision to recom-
mend no further increase in emer-
gency compensation for state em-
Ployees, It is apparent that state
salaries have outstripped both the
cost of living and ‘outside’ salaries
since 1946.

“Furthermore, few private em-
ployers provide (a) eleven paid
holidays per year, (b) twelve days
sick leave per year with pay cumu-
lative to 150 days, and (c) four
calendar weeks of vacation with
pay each year.”

(Continued from page 1)

say of the other two commissioners
will be $10,000 or $12,000,

4. By leaving the law with re-
spect to local civil service com-
missions as it is today, the State
Civil Serfice Commission retains
its present powers over municipal
personnel bodies. The Commis-
sion also retains full rule-making
power to hear appeals In discl-
plinary proceedings, full power
over veterans preference appeals,
and exclusive jurisdiction over ap-
peals on discrimination,

5, All other functions, the
“housekeeping” duties, such as
certifying eligible lists, certifying
oayrolls, determining qualifications
of candidates, and other adminis-
trative acts, are vested in the
president of the Commission. How-
ever, his powers are subject to
modification, reversal, or affirma-
tion by the full Commission upon
appeal by any aggrieved person,

Six-Year Terms

‘The term of office for the Com-
missioners is six years, The right
of appeal to the courts from Com-
mission actions remains as at
present.

‘Phe proposal was arrived at
after many previous plans had
been explored. The Governor was
firm in his desire to have a re-
organization of the Civil Service
Commission. At the same time he
did not wish a resumption of a
battle with employee organizations
and local civil service groups, such
as defeated last year's Mahoney
proposal. That plan would have
created what its opponents called
a civil service “czar” supplemented
by a weak rubber-stamp Com-
mission.

‘The Civil Service Employees As-
sociation, which had been In the
forefront of last year's fight
against the bill, was called in on
the conferences which resulted in
the 1953 proposal. The Associa-
tion's board of directors last week
expressed the view, which it had
held traditionally, that it does not
oppose any step which would make
civil service more efficient, but it
is in vigorous opposition to any
weakening of the merit system,

Principles Indorsed

‘The Association expressed en-
dorsement of the cardinal princi-
ples in the latest proposal that (a)
certain specific powers are re-
served to the Civil Service Com-
mission ; (b) either the president
or the Commission can initiate ac-
tion, provided the Commission re-
tains at all times the power of ap-
peal; (c) continued opposition to
the Mahoney proposal of 1952,

‘The Association endorsed no spe-
cific proposal, and reserved the
right to take a further stand when
the details of the new measure are
worked out,

The Most Incredible Argument

Possibly the most incredible thing about the Budget Director's
letter was the endeavor to include reclassifications, increments and
promotions as salary raises. A reclassification is not a pay increase;
it is simply giving the duties of a job their proper grade and title.
An increment is not a pay raise; it is simply part of the original wage
contract. Salary comes in a range, not a single figure. A promotion
is not @ pay increase; it is higher pay for a more responsible job,

is not a pay increase. Some people
the State's attitude toward overs

Negotiation

The Budget Director also makes the point that State aides have
Hberal holiday, sick leave, and vacation arrangements. Is Mr, Hurd
suddenly asking that the employees pay for these privileges? Is he

Even in this sphere where public

employees have done relatively well, private industry is coming for-
| ward, The Bureau of Labor Statistics has found, for example, that
65 percent of all office and plant workers in the New York area have
nine paid holidays. Moreover, these people get time-and-a-half for
overtime. If Mr, Hurd wants to argue fringe benefits, then he should
be reminded that hospitalization, health insurance arid pensions paid
entirely by the employer are pyramiding in private industry. No, he
had better not resort to that kind of argument.

The letter written by State Budget Director T. Norman Hurd to
the State's employees is full of holes. The best that can be said for it
is that it has some talking points for purposes of negotiation. The
Civil Service LEADER recommends that negotiations resume and

continuously as possible, until &

proper meeting of the minds is reached. The alternative is a bitter
fight, which the employees have already decided to undertake, which
would last throughout the legislative session, and whose repercus-
