Civil Service
‘The complete text of Governor
Averell Harriman’s civil service
message to the State Legislature
{a presented here this week by The
Leader,
A summary of the Governor's
proposals was reported in last
week's edition. The full text is as
follows:
“This year we will celebrate the
‘16th Anniversary of the establish-
Ment of our civil service merit
system, the first stute system in
the country. Continuing in that
tradition of leadership, one of the
primary goals of my administra-
tion has been to make the State
of New York a model employer for
its dedicated civil service workers.
40-Hour Week
“In my Budget Message, I in-
tend to submit recommendations
for your approval which will com-
plete the job of establishing o
standard 40-hour week generally
for State employees. This I recom~
mended tn my fiest Annual Mes
wage and I* was begun the follow-
Ing year. Only three years ago
over 34,000 State employees were
regularly required to work more
than a 40-hour week. and most of
them were on # 48-hour week.
‘There are still 20,000 employees
working a 42-hour week, and this
should be ended. A $300 across-
the-board salary increase was
authorized in 1956, followed by
wraduated pay increases last year.
Certain tnequities that have de-
veloped call for adjustment
“The last three years have also
aecn a number of other major
gains for our civil service person-
nel. We have established a griev-
ance procedure which has proved
ielf to be practicable and work-
able, New attendance rules pro-
viding a single act of standards
for most State employees have
been installed.
“Last month we Inaugurated a
most comprehensive health tnsur-
rance program for our State em-
ployees, It represents an achieve-
ment also foreshadowed In my
Annual Message of 1955, three
years ago. The Temporary Health
Insurance Board worked effective-
ly in arriving at solutions for a
great many difficult questions and
problems, and {a t. be commended
for ita contribution, Now, with the
Inauguration of the plan, I belleve
that a permanent health Insurance
board should be established, in-
oluding employee representatives
Lack of Hotel Space
Moves Executive Board
Meeting to January 30
Lack of hotel accommodations
in Albany on January 23 has
caused the Civil Service Employees
Association to change tho date
of ite Executive Board meeting
to January 30, it was announced
this week
An engineers convention in Al-
bany on Jan, 23 has taken up
most hotel apace, it was reported.
The Executive Board meeting
Gn Jan. 30 will be held at 6:30
pm, ia the Sheraton Ten Eyck
Hotel,
Harriman's
Message
among its members, and T recom-
mend legislation to that end,
“Consideration should be given
to extending the State's health in-
surance program to local govern-
ments on an optional basis.
“A major achievement during
the last year was the extension to
all public employees of the oppor-
tunity to Join the Federal Social
Security program without damage
to their State or local retirement
benefits.
Retirement Option
“Steps were taken at the Special
Session of the Legislature in June
|to correct certain deficiencies in
the original legislation, and addi-
tional improvements will have to
be made at this Sersion, There is
particular need for legislation to
correct the artificial restraints up=
on entering the State Retirement
System which had to be imposed
upon certain personnel, These
were employees who did not choose
to enter the retirement system but
who, without the artificial statu-
tory prohibition, would not have
been eligible to Join the Federal
Social Security System,
“Legisiation 1s also needed with
respect to the coverage of police~
men and firemen and the eligibil-
ity for Social Security coverage
and retirement benefits of those
who enter the State service In the
future.
“T also recommend certain im-
provements in our own Retirement
System, including the further ex-
tension of last rear’s temporary
provision making the ordinary
death benefit equal to one year’s
Salary instead of six months, and
improving our Retirement System
life insurance loans by increasing
the maximum amount insurable
from $2,000 to $3,000 and extend-
ing the maximum age of members
to whom insurable loans may be
made from 60 to 65 years,
"I also recommend Iegislation
authorizing payment by the State,
within reasonajle Umits, of mov-
ing expenses for employees who
are required to be relocated,
‘There ure many other needed
changes in the State's outdated
Civil Ser Law and I trust that
a major revision will be possible
this year, following the extensive
consultations between your leaders
and the Civil Service Department
which we initiated over a year ago,
Inter-Agency Promotion
“We are constantly in search of
ways to make the State's career
service more attractive to able agd
outstanding men and women, and
to facilitate their recrultment. For
one thing, the Civil Service De-
partment should be permitted to
walye the charging of fees for ex-
aminations, with the approval of
the Director of the Budget, and
legislation should be enacted to
that end, In order to help us to
develop a body of highly trained
men and women in top-level ad-
ministrative positions, I also ree-
ommend legislation which will alk
low the Civil Service Deprtment
to certify a general promotion lat
for filling administrative positions
(arade 14 or higher), without pref-

after carefully examining both
the Administrative and legislative
civil service programs for this
year is certain the employees will
be pleased with the positive pro-
posals which they contain for the
betterment of the public service,”
John FP. Powers, Assoctation presi-
dent, declared.
‘The proposals in the Governor's
message are particularly gratify-
ing as they spell out a good civil

tion of the thorny problem of the

sages are silent on the matter, we
are certain the reduction will be
carried out in the same manner
as formerly—by reducing hours
with no loss in take home pay,”
the Association president stated.

message for the adjustment of
existing inequities, said Mr,
Powers.
“There is ample justification
for m salary raise this year,” Mr,
Powers said. “It is acknowledged
by the State's own hiring study
which shows the State's salaries
lagging behind those of industry
by 14 percent at the entrance
level.”
Some Omissions
During the past ye Mr.
Powers declared, there has been
a definite inflationary trend. With
every step upward in the cost of
living seale, the salaries of the
public worker were reduced just
that much in real value, The
State salary level was below the
Industrial salary level on April 1,
1957. It la further behind now,
the CSEA chief snid.
“We also noted in both mes-
sages the omission of any refer-
ence to the problems of vesting
of retirement allowances or of
the State Police, Wa are as-
suming that during the session
there will be legislative proposals
dealing with these two important
areas of public employment,” Mr,
Powers sald,
Report Finds More
| Teachers Needed At
West Coxsackie
ALBANY, Jan. 13—The State
Correction Commission has recom-
mended additional teaching per
sonnel be hired for the State Vo-
cational Institution at West Cox-
suckle, The institution houses
some 782 Inmates, most of whom
are under 21 years of age.
The commission, after an oM-
clal Inspection, reported that the
personnel turnover at the cor-
rection institution “continues te
be a problem of serious propor-
tions.”
Staff turnover also was said to
constitute an “obvious obstacle”
to a well rounded and unintere
rupted training program for the
inmates,
The report also noted: “Recom-
mendations have been made that
every consideration be given to
the need for additional teaching
and instructor positions to pro-
vide relief personnel when regue
larly assigned ersonnel are absent,
“According to the superintend-
ent, these positions have been re+
| quested on several budget occa.
sions but never approved. ‘There
will be no change in the general
situation in the immediate future
Inasmuch aa any like requests
have been omitted from the 1987+
58 budget on the basis that more
pressing educational personnel
needs of other institutions should
have priority,”

LEFKOWITZ CLARIFIES
LAW ON FIRE
The amendment to the State
Labor Law, establishing maximum
hours that firemen may work, ap-
plies also to officers, in the opin-
fon of Attorney Gexeral Louis J.
Lefkowits.
The law provides that the stated
maximum allowable hours shall
apply to firemen appointed from
& civil service list who are uni-
formed members of a paid fire)
Mr, Lefkowitz con-
department
atrues the word “firemen” as its
generic sense, not ac lUmited to
the title or grade, hence includes
officers, But he appears to hold
that the beneficiaries must be
actively engaged fn fire-fighting.
Potter Raises Isoue
Charles W. Potter, counsel to
the Joint Legislative Committee
on Pire Laws, wrote the City fire
chiefs, stating that some munici-
palities construed the law as ap-

LOUIS J. LEFKOWITZ
plying to firemen only, not offi-
cers,
Mr, Potter himself gave the
word ‘firemen a broad interpre
tation:
“I believe,” he wrote, “the defi-
nition includes all line officers
(chief, deputy or assistant chiefs,
n=
ants, ete), as well as firemen.
It is not clear, however, whether
the expression ‘uniformed mem-
ber? would include other person-
nel, such as superintendent of
fire alarm, telephone operators,
HOURS
mechanics, drivers, etc, where un-
| der t he provisions of a municipal
charter or ordinance, or under
| fire department rules and regula-
tlons, such other personnel are
uniformed members of the force.”
Light on Cloudy Point
Mr. Lefkowlts agrees with Mr.
| Potter on the Jack of clarity on
the particular provision but doubts
that the “other personnel” are
included:
"While it seems clear that the
| term ‘fireman,’ as used in section
| 168-a, tneludes the line officers
and firemen . there is @ ques-
tion whether it Includes other
| personnel, even though they are
|members of the uniformed force
under the city ordinance.”
Mr. Lefkowita's opinion, in the
form of a letter to Chairman Har-
| old L. Peet of the joint committee,
| continued:
“The Governor's memorandum |
(issued when the bill was signed
last year) appears to construe the
law as being applicable to uni~
formed members of paid fire
| department who devote their prin-
cipal efforts to fire fighting. I am
unable to provide any further
clarification than that contained
in the statutory definition and in
the Governor's memorandum.”
' Two Negative Answers
Mr. Lefkor also said that
local governments cannot adopt
laws setting fire hours in excess
}of what, the amendment permita,
and “firemen” cannot waive the
benefits.
In New York City the amend-
ment is inapplicable because the
working hours are les than the
maximum permitted by State law

The Public Employee—An Economic Goat? |
The 1958 Legislature is in session and the legislative and ad-
ministrative leaders have announced their programs. Once again
State salaries have become an tssue—not because of what has been
said but because of what has not been said. While the program of
the legislative leaders was silent on the question, the Administra-
tlon’s program did indicate a concern by stating “certain inequities |
that have developed call for adjustment.” |
During the past few years, both the Legisiature and the Ad-
ministration have made good progress toward
salaries into line with thelr
bringing the State
However, at
ho one point in the successive budgets was parity between priv
and public salaries over established. ‘The civil service waa always

e
when Governor Harriman signed the salary bill,
mpanying it made note of the existing Inequitics
and promised correction In the next budget,
A Peculiar Condition
‘The State started the 1957-58 budget year In arrears to the pubic
employees, Prom the start of a new fecal year until the present, there
has been a peculiar economr condition. It has defied exact analysis
but has been deseribed as a period during which business has slack-
ened but price rises have continued. Steadily, during the months,
the cost of living has edged upward. For only one month was there
& period of no change. During this time, also, while State salaries
remained fixed, industrial salaries were being advanced to compen-
sate for the cost-of-living rise. These facts are established. A study
made by the State testifies to this,
The Siate employees did not enjoy parity with industrial em-
ployees in April and fell further behind by winter. It is in the
common interest of everybody that this sltumtion be corrected, If it
is true, as some think, that the future direction of our economy ts
uncertain then certainly the public and private employees should
face the tomorrow on equal footing. Public and private employees
alike are part of the great working force of America, They are
both contributors—equally—to whatever {s good and prosperous in
the nation, They are both necessary for its survival. They both should |
share equally of its good and of its fils, Unicss the public employee's
salary is brought up to the level of his fellow worker he |s being
asked to meet the future with an economic handicap, This cannot
but be detrimental to 90,000 State employees and their families. It}
will not only affect thelr purchasing power but also add to their)
anxieties and lessen thelr morale and efficiency,
Some Federal Proposals
In his annual message this year, Governor Hatriman expressed
his desire to make New York State a model employer. In a Con-
gressional document on a personnel program for the Federal service,
the author advocates that Government adopt a liberal wage policy
comparable to the best wages paid in industry. "To pay a wage com-
parable with the best concerns in industry” he says “is to follow n
practice which can be defended against those who charge extraya-
gance. The Government necds a wage level high enough to draw its
Applicants from the best workers available.” And, to further his
argument, he cites a leading economist who had addressed a per-
sonnel classification board as follows;
“My own belief is that Government should be a model employer,
paying its employees according to the best standards of outside in-
dustry and determine this from time to time by surveys. By a model
employer I do not mean a Utopian employer setting standards
which bear no relevance to outside employment, but an employer |
who goes as far as he can in advance of the best existing standards,” |

TO THE EDITOR
SOME TAX EXEMPTION
ASKED FOR PENSIONERS
Baitor, The Leader:
A move has been started in
Niagara Falls by pensioners, some
of whom are on Social Security,
others on other pensions. They
have asked for State legislation
to exempt thelr personal homes
from real estate taxes on up fo
$5,000 of assessed valuation.
During the last few years many
retired persons have been living
in poverty because their horse-
and-bugey-days pensions stay
the same but the cost of living
goes Higher than the Russian
sputnik,
All retired or soon-to-be-retired |
are requested to get in touch with
thelr Assemblyman and State
Eyes on Legislature Now
ROGRAMS for State employees have been issued by
Republican leaders and by Governor Harriman which
reflect the probable stand both parties will take on public
worker legislation during the current 1958 session of the
State Legislature,
We found Governor Harrviman's platform a forward-
looking one and congratulate him on the many definite
measures outlined in his message to the Legisture. His pro- |
gram calls for increased promotional opportunities, re-|
cognition of superior work by cash awards, a definite
40-hour week with no loss in take-home pay for some
20,000 institutional employees now working 42 hours a
week, and what the Governor terms “wage adjustments
where inequities exist.”
In addition, the Governor has proposed elimination of
two “gadflys” that have long been irksome to State work- |
ers—the burden of moving expenses of transferred em-|
ployees, and some restrictions in amount and age for in-
surable loans.
These measures are bound to improve the outlook of
the State’s merit system and we do not forsee any oppo-
tition to such a straightforward and legitimate program.
We hope that this preliminary report by the Governor
will be further strengthened by a positive, affirmative at-
titude toward a general wage increas vested pensions,
and general improvement in retirement progranis,
In comparison to the vigor shown in legislating for
public employees in 1957, the 1958 GOP program was
somewhat disappointing and we hope it will undergo some
improvement at this session,
Last year, the Republicans pushed through a pay
raise for nearly all State workers and granted a two-hour
work reduction for institutional employees when all hope
on these scores was at a low ebb. GOP boldness in 1957
certainly led public employees to expect a more positive
Republican program than was announced last week.
It was disappointing to note that no definite commit-
ment was made on GOP support for a 40-hour week for
institutional employees—although we are sure such sup-
port vill be forthcoming, No mention of salary conditions
was made at all, except for a reference to last year in-
treases,
All in all, the GOP statement struck us as being
too much a remembrance of things past.
This is not to say that the proposed Republican plat-
form was without merit. We were pleased with proposals |
on improving the Retirement System and willingness to
wrestle with the thorny problem of parking for workers |
in the Capitol district,
Too, we were happy to see the GOP seeking to in-
sure inclusion of more police and firemen in the Social
Security program this yoar,
There is plenty of time for Republican legislators to
put more flesh on their publie employee program and we
pray that the GOP initiative shown last year will be re
vived again before the current session ends,

Condon-Wadlin Law Heads for Amendment
PUBLIC OFFICIALS of both parties were hoping that the
Condon-Wadlin anti-strike law would not become an issue but events
having made that impossible, the law is to be amended.
Since the law relates only to public employees, the public ts
the real sufferer from # strike, sometimes on a large scale. Industrial

including the performing arts in or outside the commercial theatre,

Employee Groups Differ
The law, suy some of these leaders, deprives public employees

| discriminatory, making second-class citizens of public employees
when it ts the boust of our democracy that there ave no degrees of
citizenship. This ts an unconcealed bid for the legal right to strike
and declaration of intention to strike Wf circumstances: warrant.
Lenders of other employee, groups like The Civil Service Em-
ployees Association, agree that public employees should not strike
oppose statutory prohibitions, and favor voluntary declaration of
no-sttike policy, The CSBA has a no-strike clause in its constitution.
Section 22-a of the State Civil Service Law forbids employees of
|the State and its communities from striking, Any violator "shall
thereby abandon and terminate his appointment or employment and
shall no longer hold such position, or be entitled to any of the riehts
or emoluments thereof, except if appointed or teappolnied” under
conditions whereby his pay shall be no more than it was when he

union leaders steer a middie course, They any that, tn
the right to strike should not be denied to public employees,

and fire depattments are always included. and always fest.
Some
Harriman Wants Panel Named
How to reach a conclusion that, if it cannot reconcile these
conflicting views at least can offer # tolerable compronie, is a
problem for the Legislature. Governor Harriman favors the appoint-
ment of a panel of Impartial experts, and representatives of labor,
business, and government, to weigh the problem and make recom-
mendations to the Legislature.
‘The problem is complex, even if one agrecs that strikes by public
employets are intolerable.
So long as public officials turn a deaf ear to the just grievances
of employees, the dunger of strikes in the State government, and the
communities of the State, will always exist, whatever the law may
provide, and whatever may be the experience in the Pederal govern-
ment where the deaf ear ls found as often. The real responsibility
for some prohibited strikes therefore lies deeper than the public
may realize,
An excellent labor relations program ts as good a strike antidote
| as amendment of the Condon-Wadiin law, but government hesitates
to provide its employees with means of redress equal to that pre-
vailing in private industry. In some instances there ls no grievance
Procedure at all, as in police departments; in oshers pgylovunces are

right, hence not invariably,

recently,
The problem of conMict of organisations does not exiss in the
State government because the CSHA almost saturates the potential;
outside of New York City it has large membership in i's County

is Daniel Bell, who was a career
federal employee until he became
prosident of the American Security
and Trust Company, Washington,
D, C. He !s a member of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National
Civil Service League, a fact that
fits well into the celebration, since
the original draft of the federal
Jaw, as well as of the state and
clty civil service Jawa that went
into effect in the same year, was
prepared by the New York Civil
Service Reform Association, pre~
cursor of the Nationa) Civil Serv-
lee League.
The association now functions
as ® New York adjunct of the
league; In the old days the New
York League also functioned na-
tionally. Much of the coordination
of the natfonal and New York
eventa is the work of Thomas R.
Watson, executive director of the
CSRA.

Headquarters
ALBANY, Jan. 13—The State
Correction Commission has re-
commended more modern deten-
ton facilities be constructed for
police headquarters in Manhattan.
After an inspection, the eom-
mission has reported of present
detention quarters at 240 Centre
St:

Not seem unreasonable to conclude
that the outmoded type of cell
construction with {ts attendant
difficulties, combined with an ob-
vious inadequacy ta properly cope
with the number of prisoners to
‘i be detained and processed are
factors which point up the need
for the eventual provision of an
enlarged and more modernly con-
structed detention unit in con=
heetion with headquarters’ opern-
tions.”

HYGIENE MEMO
: By A. J. COCCARO
Pay Talk
In dealing with state employes pay problems we often talk in
millions of dollars, Whenever millions of dollars are discussed we
should also bring up the fact that our state employees have lost
millions of dollars in the “salary lag." Our raises have been too
little and too late,
Some of the problems our employees face are:
Salary; Attendant working day shift, small child 3 years old,)
wife working. He has 10 years service and is finally promoted to
staf attendant. Because of his promotion he has to accept a night
ahilt, he has difficulty sleeping now. Take home pay; less than §60.00
& woek
Salary: Attendant, nine years service, ateady, sober worker, he
has five dependents, works on the side. Last Christmas he found a
basket of food and clothing for his children on the doorstep, He was
aclected by a charitable organization us a needy family. Take home
pay: $57.00 a week,
Retirement: Nurse, 35 years old, stopped by with his problem,
He has worked with mental patients for 17 years and must work an
additional 20 years before he can retive, He doesn’t feel that he can|
take the strain of 37 years with this type of patient. If he leaves
service 19 years from now with 36 years service, ha loses all pension
Tights,
Classification: Print Shop Foreman—32‘4 years service was of-
fered a higher starting salary at the V.A, hospitals than his maxi-
mum ry in N. ¥. State Service. He is titled industrial shop |
worker and a sufferer of improper classification, If they called him
® painter his salary would be more in line with his work. U.S, Govt.
ts now offering a printer-proofreader $3.13 an hour, $3.60 for night
work, Our printers take home pay less than $62.00 a week
Classification: Boss man in shop, State pay grade 10, his as-
sistant State pay grade 11. Inequalities such os these hurt morale
Sonsiderably. There ore other similar examples,
Take Home Pay: The cost of living went up in 1054, 1956, 1956,
1957 and is expected to go up in 1958. Our attendants have not had
® raise in take home pay since 1954. Their standard of living has
gone even lower in 1957 than In 1954—Same money, higher prices,
Retirement: Employee 15 years State Service retired on pension
of $49.00 a month. He was advised to apply for welfare,
Turnover: One of the most costly items our Institutions face
(eday ts the great turnover of personnel, One of our hospitals alone
had 585 employees leave service in one year.
NEEDED: Fair salaries, promotional
@lassification and improved pension plan.
These are real live cares and real live problems, They are nob
feolated cases.
Tt Js important that Governor Harriman and the State Legls-
lature take a good look at them, weigh the situations and then con-
wider what would be fair. We don’t want high salaries, We don't
Want the taxpayer to go broke, But in all fatrness to the State em-|
ployee they should not be expected to subsidite the taxpayer by
Rocepting sub-standard salaries,

New Housing

Governor Harriman reported «

erence to departmontal lists or
eligibles holding lower grade post~
tions In the Individual department
in question.
“This will facilitate the creation
of a state-wide administrative
service and afford greater oppor~
tunities for advancement to sev-
ra! hundreds of employees in the
Personnel, budgeting and manage
ment fields, At the same time it
will reduce the number of promo-
tion examinations which are in
effect non-competitive because of
the scarcity of eligible persons, It
will be a desirable step In the di-
rection of the more flexible pro-
motion practices followed by the
federal goverment in which em-
ployees may move more easily
from one agency to another. I am
sure that this procedure will con~
tribute to efficiency in State gov-
ernment.
“One of our pressing needs is to
devise a means by which superior
accomplishment can be encour-
aged and rewarded among employ-
ees who for various reasons, most
often the limited number of posi-
tlons above them, cannot expect to
be promoted or to recelve further
salary increments, An Interdepart-
mental group is developing a pro-|
gram of cash awards for superior
| service which I expect to be able
to announce In the near future, |
“The recent subway strike in
New York City again brings vividly
before us the problem of the re-
lationship of government with its
employees, I have consistently
stated that strikes of public em-
ployees cannot be tolerated and at
the same time that grievances of
employees must be dealt with fair-
ly and equitably. In 1955 in my
first annual message to the legis-
Inture, I stated:
Harriman’s Civil Service
Message Given In Full
“ ‘By very reason of the fact
thas strikes by publie employees
cannot be tolerated, such employ~
ees should have the right to have
thelr grievances presented by rep-
resentatives of thetr own choosing,
‘Ther grievances should be consid-
ered and mutually adjusted in an
amicable manner, consistent with
accepted principles of collective
bargaining, There must also be ef-
fective mediation procedures for
resolving critical disputes.’
“Again in 1956, in my annual
message, I stated:
“Since all are agreed that gov-
ernmental employees may not
strike, It is all the more important
to devise means of settling the in-
evitable differences between man-
agement and workers with Justice
to all parties, including the public.
“A strike against government,
including public authorities, is f1-
legal, and our law should be com-
Pletely definite om that potnt.
Yet it has been my opinion, and
Still is, that the rigid penalties of
the Condon-Wadlin Law are im-
Practical and unenforceable. Any
unenforceable provision of a law
does more damage than good.
Thus I believe that these unwork-
able provisions should be repealed.
It is high time that this entire
subject be taken out of politics,
and that sober consideration be
Given to the manner in which this
problem so vital to the public and
employees alike can be effectively
and fairly dealt with. Appropriate
legislation should be enacted to
these ends. The advice of impartial
experts, oa well as representatives:
of labor, business and experienced
government officials should be ob-
tained.
“I Urre that your Honorable
