O'Dwyer Career Plan

Praises Mayor's

Choice of DeGraff

By MAXWELL LEHMAN
Mayor William O’Dwyer’s
Career and Pay Plan was
strongly endorsed by Herbert
H. Lehman, who, as Governor,

was responsible for the Feld-
Hamilton Law which provided
job reclassification and pay
standards in the State service.

Mr. Lehman stressed the ben-
efits to thousands of City em-
ployees that could result from the
improvement of the present NYC
job structure, including oppor-

Raymond Monroe
Is Elected New
Conference Head

MOUNT MORRIS, July 4—Miss
Louise C, Gerry, State Civil Serv-
ice Commissioner, came up with
an idea that had the employees
cheering. Speaking to the West-
ern Conference, Civil Service Em-
Pployees Association, she said:

“You should have in every
chapter a person who will study
the civil service law, so that you'll
know what you're operating
under.” Expanding on this theme,
Miss Gerry pointed out that with
such knowledge at their disposal,
the employees would be in a much
stronger position to handle their
problems,

Political Strength

Then she reminded the assem-
blage of the political strength
inherent in public employees:

“If you know what's in the law,
and you know what's good and
what’s bad about it, and what
you want changed, you'll sit down
with the legislators holding aces

in your hands, With 62,000 -votes,
you'll have the legislators in your
pocket,” she grinned,

To Contact Supegvisors

Recommendations by a com-

were adopted to send a letter to
each member of the Board of
Supervisors, asking immediate
action to stop the $75 a year pay
cut proposed for July 1. Also
adopted was a proposal to
‘solicit the active support of more
than 75 other public employee
organizations in » Westchester
county, excepting any which might
be subject to subversive influ-
ences.” A suggestion to ask the
support of some 135 other em-
ployee groups in Westchester was
referred to the Board of Directors
for study, Other proposals from
the floor were for each County em-
ployee pesonally to contact his
local Supervisor; to enlist the sup-

The split shift causes many dis-
appointments and heartaches in
State institutions. Under this plan,
instead of the employee comple
ing consecutive hours of a day's
work, there's an interruption of
of continuity, with resultant “long
day.” The interim doesn't even
mean time-off, necessarily, but
often remaining on duty. The ac-
tual working hours are increas-
ed, but not the pay.

12 Hours’ Work, 8 Hours’ Pay

Here's a_ clinical complaint
about 12 hours’ lapsed time,
though pay is for eight hours:

Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

President. The Civil Service Employees
Association, Inc., and Member of Em-
ployees’ Merit Award Board.

Civil Service Goes to the People for Judgment

One of the most illuminating and horrendous paragraphs of
the State Constitution is Article 5, Section six relating to Civil
Service appointments and promotio:

In one long paragraph are three distinct parts or strata which
record the progressive degradation of the merit and fitness plan of
recruiting the employees of the State who serve the people,

The first and oldest part of the Section contains the original
great principle that grew from bitter and tragic experience with
the spoils system. It reads as follows:

“Appointments and promotions in the civil service of the State
and all of the civil divisions thereof, including cities and villages,
shall be made according to merit and fitness to be ascertained, as
by examination, which, as far as practicable,

This is the heart of the merit system. It is in essence what

has appeared in the statutes or the Constitution since 1883,
Special Exemptions and Privileges

The next addition represents the first major debasement of the
fundamental first part just cited. It relates to special exemptions
and privileges granted disabled veterans who served in any major
wars including both World Wars. It defines a disabled veteran as
one who is presently disabled as a result of his military service in
war and whose disability and the extent thereof is certified by the
U. S, Veterans Administration. Such a disabled veteran must be
appointed or promoted before any other appointments or promotions
are made without regard to his or her standing on any list from
which appointments or promotions may be made.

Much can be said in favor of real preference for veterans
seriously handicapped by wounds incurred in the defense of their
country. The fact is that the really disabled are helped very little
and the nominally disabled reap most of the benefits. The courts
are congested with contests growing out of the looseness of the
language of the Constitutior

Confusing to Adminis:

‘The third addition following World War II and adds a preference
(after Disabled Veterans) for all other yeterans for a period that ex-
pires December 31, 1950 except that all veterans are given preference
for a term of five years after honorable diseharge, ‘This provision may
man that every veteran of any war past, present or future has
preference for a five year period. This period will expire on December
31, 1950 for the majority of World War non-disabled veterans, namely
those discharged on or before December 31, 1940, As the World
War II is still legally in being, new veterans will still be honorably
discharged and may have preference for some time.

So much for the present law. It is hopelessly vague and un-
certain, The administration of the law is confused and constantiy
changing owing to the uncertainty as to what the Constitution means,

Amendment to Be Voted on November &

An extreme example of inability to say what you mean is the
last paragraph relating to preference in retention on the job, when
discharges are necessary, The intent is to require all non-yeterans
in any position to be fired first, all non-disabled veterans to be fired
next and disabled veterans to be laid off last. The Constitution say:
“Upon the abolition or elimination of positions in the Civil Service—
any such memler of the armed forces shall be entitled to preference
with retention of any position held by him or her in inverse order
of the preference as provided in this section.” The inclusion of the
word “inverse” gives first protection against layoffs to non-veterans,
followed by non-disabled veterans and requires that all disabled
veterans be laid off first. The le; ure wisely ignored the con-
stitutional mandate as obviously cock-eyed,

+ A proposed amendment will be submitted to the voters in
November and voting for the proposed amendment at the November
Election, you can help restore the merit system to some of its
pristine glory.

Freedom for
U. S. Employees

‘ Federal Hatch Act makes second-class citizens of
government employees, denying to them the political
prerogatives which all other citizens are presumed to pos-
sess. The Hatch Act takes from the U. S. employee the
right to participate actively in a political party, to say what
he thinks about a political candidate (except in a quiet
whisper) to write about his views, or even to wear a cam-
paign button, The slightest infraction means dismissal. The
Federal Civil Service Commission itself, which administers

ie

the act, thinks its disciplines are too harsh.

Great Britain has a similar law. A parliamentary com-
mittee inquired into the political activities of public em-
ployees and recommended bluntly: Kill that act! The
committee found that “neutrality” — what a spuriou
unreal word! — is maintained “even at the cost of some

loss of political liberty. And now, England will re
its political control la

The sections of the Hatch Act depriving American gov-
ernment workers of their political liberties have been on
the books too long. In this respect, England sets us a good
example. It is high time the Hatch Act be reviewed, its
invidious clauses extracted, and the rights of free men re-
turned to employees of the government.

Liking the work you do makes

ern District of New York, He has

“Whom do you suggest?”

The answer: Abe Wagman,
Mr. Goldstein asked U, 8, Dis-

The answer; Abe Wagman,
Mr. Wagman was then earning
$2,500 a year. Mr, Goldstein sent

conversation ensued.

Goldstein; “Raise your right

Wagman: “What for?”

Goldstein: “You're appointed an
Assistant Attorney General.”

Wagman: “But I'm not an en-
rolled Republican.”
Goldstein, “I didn’t ask you.

I’m making a personal appoint-
ment of a specialist.”

Mr, Wagman did brilliant work
in his field. One day Mr, Gold-
stein called him in.

“The time is ripe,” the AG said,
“for you to do other work. Now
we have an important insurance
case that has to be tried in the
United States Supreme Court.”

The young condemnation expert
had never tried an insurance case,
never been in the U. S. Supreme
Court.

Eighth Year as Marshal

This month Marshal Mulcahy
celebrates his eighth year in office.
He's been very active in both his
federal duties and promoting the
welfare of his Deputy Marshals.
He encouraged the formation of
his deputies’ employee organiza-
tion, a local of the American Fed-
eration of Government Employees
(A, FP. of L.), He also helped to
form the National Association of
Deputy Marshals.

He was appointed to his present
position from private law practice.
He'd been a trial lawyer for an
insurance company before that
with a notable record of success.
Mr. Mulcahy got his LL.B. de-
gree from Fordham Law School.
One of his classmates was Thomas
Lynch, now president of the
Bronx County Trust Company;
another was George Coppers, now
president of the National Biscuit
Company; and Mr- Mulcahy is
now a president in his own right,
too, only under the title of Exalted
Ruler of the New York Lodge of
Elks (No, 1, BPOE),

In pre-law school one of his
classmates was Paul O'Dwyer,

At St. John’s Law School Mr.
Mulcahy got his master’s degree
in law and went on to his suc-
cess in legal practice.

On Bar Committees

He's a member of the committee
on federal courts of the New York
County Lawyers Association and
of the executive committee of the
Federal Bar Association. He keeps
closely abreast of Federal law,
besides performing his duties as
director of what's practically the
federal Sheriff's office,

His liking for government work
is shared by his wife. As Helen
Burke she was a Supervisor in
the NYC Department of Welfau.
The couple have two children,
Helen, 11, and Joan 6.

He has made a clinical study of
criminology and finds that lack
of religious training and guidance
is responsible for much trouble
that youngsters get into, also that
first-offenders can nearly always
be redeemed, but that some per-
sons are chronic criminals,

“No matter how many play-
grounds we build, we'll always
have criminals,” he observed. “One
must be careful not to be oppres-
sive even with hardened eriminals.
We have no complaints of unfair

Ward Promises Support

Assemblyman Ward gave as-
surance that he would support
“all reasonable legislation” ad-
vanced by civil service employees.

Miss Krone told about the
necessity for grievance machinery,
and told of the forthcoming ex-
executive order dealing with this
subject. She also pointed out that

public employees are all “public

aminer sought the same status
that another group had obtained
as the result of a prior law suit,
It was urged in defense, that the
eligible list in question had al-
ready expired and, therefore, the
relief sought could not be granted.
The ex-eligibles contended, how-
ever, that they did not join in
the prior proceeding or institute
an» independent one while there
was still time to do so, relying
on statements that they would
receive the same treatment as
those who brought the other pro-
ceeding,
Court Powerless to Act

The court rejected the theory
that the defendants wer stopped
from refusing to grant the relief
sought by the petitioners, pointing
out that the State Civil Service
Commission is powerless to extend
a list beyond its statutory four
year life, The Legislature itself
is prohibited from so doing, The
courts aré likewise powerless to
revive a dead list. To grant the
remedy which the petitioners seek
would have the effect of extending
the life of the list. Inasmuch as
this could not be done legally,
the Court could not compel a
public officer or body to do it.

In denying the relief sought,
the Court concluded:

“However sympathetic the court
may be with the situation in which
petitioners find themselves,
whether the result of their own
neglect in proceeding in due
season or the result of reliance
on alleged statements that the

e| institution of proceedings was un-

necessary to preserve their rights,
the ultimate fact is that the
rights have been lost and this
court is without power to restore
or revive them.” (Cash vy. Bates,

WHAT EMPLOYEES SHOULD KNOW
TAKE YOUR TIME AND LOSE YOUR RIGHTS

City Civil Service Commission,
During the next nine years, the
incumbents remained on their
jobs without any question as to
their employment. Such employ-
ment was challenged for the first
time in a proceeding brought in
the Supreme Court, in New York
County. The basis: that the orig-
inal appointments from the Pa-
trolman list were illegal.

Petitioner Guilty of Laches

The Court noted that all the
eligibles on the original Patrol-
man list had either received or
declined appointments; that no
one directly interested in obtain-
ing any of the Bridge Captain
positions had been heard to com-
plain; and that the petitioner was
not even an employee of the Bridge
Authority, the appointing body,

On the basis of these facts the
court held, “Assuming that the
original appointments of the in-
cumbents and their subsequent
Promotions without examination
were illegal, it would be contrary
to equitable principles and a grave
injustice to these incumbents who
have occupied their present posi-
tions for many years to remove
them and declare-their places va-
cant.” The Court concluded that
such unwarranted delay on the
part of the petitioner amounted
to laches which justified denial
of the relief sought. Otherwise an
extreme hardship would be
worked on the incumbents who
had changed their position:
reliance on their present status

Policy Under

Answering a “letter from -Dr.
Frank L, Tolman, president of
The Civil Service Employees As-
ion, calling attention to em-
’ complaints at the Long
Island Agricultural and Technical
Institute, at Farmingdale, Alvin
C. Eurich, president, of the State
University of New York, said that
the whole situation was being in-
vestigated. The dismissal of two
employees on What those punisned
called minor grounds was one of
the complaints, Dr. Tolman re~
quested a conference,

“We are at the pr nt time
making a thorough investigation
of the situation at the Long Is-
land Agricultural and Technical
Institute,” President Eurich wrote,
“You can be assured that all the
people concerned will be given an
adequate hearing with reference to
the situation that you describe,

“In regard to the overall per-
sonnel policy for the faculty mem-

Investigation

bers and employees in the com-
petitive and non-competitive
classes, we are at the present time
making a thorough study of cur-
rent practice. The results of the
study will serve as a basis for
formulating overall policies for
the entire University, We expect
to devote considerable time to the
formulation of this policy during
‘the fall months. ..

“I, too, hope that some time
soon we can talk the matter over
together.

Park Police
Get Pay
Reallocation

ALBANY, July 4 — The Civil
Service Employees Association has
been advised that the State Salary
Standardization Board has real-
located the positions of Park Pa-
trolman and Corporal-Park Police
as follows:

Park Patrolman, from G7 $2484-
3174 to G8 $2622-3312.

Corporal-Park Police, from G9
$2760-3450 to G10 $2898-3588.

The representatives of the Park
Patrolmen appeared before the
Salary Standardization Board on
May 27. They asked for alloca-
tions: Park Patrolman, G11 $3036-
$3714 and Corporal-Park Police,
G13 $3312-$3879, and for adjust-
ments in the higher positions,

The Park Patrolmen work a 48-
hour week. They have previously
appealed to the State Budget
Director, John §E, Burton, for
overtime pay beyond 40 hours in
accordance with the general policy
of the State. This appeal was not
granted. The reallocation is based
on_the 40-hour week.

The Association has urged over-
time pay for the Park Patrolman
group. Action by the Patrolman
group to bring about further ad-
justment in pay will be formu-
lated,

The Veterans Committee on
Preference, of which Robert H.
McDermott is president, has is-
sued an analysis of the effect of
the present war veteran preference
law in New York State and what
would happen if the Mitchell bill
is ratified at the polls November 8,

Present Law

The committee presented the
following argument:

“Many are confused as to the
exact status of veteran preference
in civil service,

“The present law, which grants
preference in civil service exam-
inations to non-disabled veterans
will expire on December 31, 1950.

“Beginning January 1, 1951 the
only veterans who will have any
preference in Civil Service are
those who are disabled to the ex-
tent of 10% or more, to the ex-
clusion of:—

“1—All non-disabled veterans
regardless of what service they
saw.

“2—The
veterans.

“3—Children, younger brothers
and sisters of veterans.

“4—Others who were unable to
enter service because of age, oc-
cupation or physical condition,

“5—The ‘seriously disabled vet-
eran who, because of blindness,
Joss of limb, or uther serious in-
jury, cannot hoe to enter Civil
Servic

“This law, if allowed to remain,
will benefit less than 10% of the
veterans,

What Mitchell Bill Provides

“The Mitchell Bill, which is to
be voted upon at the coming elec-
tion, provides for an equitable
preference for disabled and*non-
disabled veterans and fair consid-
eration for the non-veteran,

Among its provisions are:

“1—10% to be added to the
passing mark of a disabled veteran
in an entrance examination and
5% in a promotional examination.

“2—5% to be added to the
passing mark of a non-disabled
veteran in an entrance examina-
tion and 212% in a promotional
examination,

widows of deceased

above percentages to overcome,

However, this small handicap is

infinitely more favorable to them

than absolute preference,

“This preference, proposed un-
der the Mitchell Bill, can be used
by a veteran until he succeeds in
being appointed or promoted as a
result of same.’

“The proposed’ amendment to
the constitution will be on the
ballot at the coming election. Vote
Yes and urge your family and
friends to do the same.”

The analysis of the present
law's effects, contrasted to the
point system, follow:

How the present law works to
the disadvantage of 90% of the
veterans,

The eligible list for FIREMAN
which was published on June 9,
1949, contains:

563 Disabled Veterans

5665 Non-Disabled Veterans

184 Non-Veterans

6412 Total

The present Veterans Preference
Law provides that all “Disabled
Veterans” go ahead of ‘“Non-
Disabled Veterans” on an eligible
list, with the result that all of the
563 Disabled Veterans, some of
whom received as low as 70.70%,
will be appointed before the “No.
1 man, a Veteran,” who receiyed
a percentage of 97.20%.

All of these disabled men passed
a most exacting medical and phy-
sical examination, one making
100% in the Physical, and dozens
of others 99% and 98%.

Three Listings

1, The first listing gives the names
and standings of the men on
the eligible list as published
when established.

2, The second listing gives the
names, original standings and
percentages of the first 100
Disabled Veterans, Under the
present Veterans Preference
Law, these Disabled Veterans
and 463 others, regardless of
their standings on the original
list, must_be appointed before
the Non~Disabled Veterans,

3, The third listing shows how the
names on the list would appear

charging certain irregularities
cancelled her substitute license,
marked her unsatisfactory and
barred her from taking any ex-

on his two bills; Arthur G,. Klein,
of New York, who spoke on two

The delegation from Branch
One of UNAPOC spent a great
deal of time interviewing all of
the Congressmen who testified at
the hearings and reveived assur-
ances from them that they will
continue their fight on behalf of
the postal workers,

A statement to members issued
by National President Andrew T.
Walker, National 1st Vice-pres-
ident Abraham ‘Lyroler, and Pub-
licity Director William E, Var-
anelli of UNAPOC said:

“Many of the bills introduced
are repetitious in nature and your
delegation feels the most import-
ant bill to be discussed in the

and Civil Service Committee, and
request speedy action on all pend-
ing bills.

“Tt appears that some remedial
legislation can still be passed at

this session of Congress, if action
is kept stirring.”

On Engineering Grades

Following his expression of hope,
made at a Board of Estimate
meeting, that the engineering serv-
ice could be reclassified soon, and
his promise that it would not
await upon the general reclassifi-
cation, Mayor William O'Dwyer
held two conferences at City Hall,
looking toward an early solution.
At the first conference were
Henry Feinstein, president of Dis-
trict Council 37, American Federa-
tion of State, County and Munici-
pal Employees, and fellow AFL
unionists, The: included Jesse

324; Michael V. Mirande, Fire De-
partment Local 61, Betty H. Don-
nelly, Board of Education Local
399; James 8. McCormack, Water
Gas and Electricity Local 632;
Harry Seabold, Public Works Lo-
cal 633; Joseph J. H, Amato, Health

Department Local 642; Charles
Bellew, Housing and Buildings Lo-
cal 824; Julian Mandel, Sanitation
Local 1010; and N. J. De Prospo,
Finance Department Local 1113,
At the second conference were
Budget Director Thomas J. Patter-
son and Mr. Feinstein.

‘The resolution before the Board,
introduced by Borough President
Hugo E. Rogers at the District
Council's request, propost in-
creases in six groups of titles. It
is the only reclassification resolu-
tion affecting this service which
is now before the Board.

Mr. Feinstein and his aides
sought to convince the Mayor of
the necessity of his favoring the
recommendations as submitted and
expediting action, The Mayor
showed deep interest and the in-
terviewers felt that he was strong-
ly on their side,

The six title groups, with the
present average pay given first,
the recommended minimum salary
next, the amount of the average
increase asked, and the amount
of each of the proposed four in-
crements, follow:

Jr. Engr., Jr,, Archt., Drafts-
man, $3,650; $3,900; $250; $180.

Asst. Engr., Asst. Archt., $4,580;
$5,000; $420; $240.

George ©. Johnson, president of
The Dime Sayings Bank of Brook-
lyn has received word from the
New York State Banking Depart-
ment, granting permission to “The
Dime” to open a new branch of-
fice on Mermaid Avenue, Coney
Island. .

The new branch will offer a
complete savings bank service to
nearly 100,000 residents of the ex-
panding Coney Island area, The
service will include saving ac-
counts, savings bank life insur-
ance, safe deposit box rental
facilities, mortgage loan service,
savings bank money orders and
Christmas Club and school sav-
ings accounts,

This announcement comes at

the very time “The Dime ts celeb-
rating a record of 90 years of
service to the community and
90 years of consecutive dividends
to_depositors,
Total dividends paid to deposit-
ors since 1859 have amounted to

Female Cleaners. 75 Female
Cleaners in city service from five
to seven years are being reap-
pointed as Civil Service employees
from eligible lists with a salary
reduction to $1,320 from $1,680.
Because this group receives ‘no
increments or salary adjustments
there will be no opportunity to
reach the top salary of $1,680 at
any time. It is therefore requested
that the salaries of the new in-
cumbents be adjusted at this time
to minimize the great loss in
salary,

Sewage Treatment Workers. Be-
cause of the precarious work per-
formed by these employees an
adjustment is requested beyond
the present increments provided

mended for this group,

less cost for a specified annuity

example would be an $11,915 ac-
count for a male white collar

“The cost to the new men is
far too high,” Mr. Crane said.

The cost to the City for the
next 50 years would be less, if the
proposal is enacted, the UFA re-
ports, because the City wouldn't
have to make the annual budget-
ary appropriations, but would only
have to meet the cost of the new

getary contributions used for
helping defray these costs. The
pension system then would con-
stitute the same strong attraction
to joining the department as it
used to do. The UFA notices that
the pension magnet is entirely ab-
sent from the minds of any of
the new entrants, because they
know what a high price they
themselves have to pay.

Other Aims

The nine other main objectives

are

A $4,150 salary, made perman-
ent by State law, through a ref-
erendum to the people, the same
way the hours were established
by law.

A complete welfare program.
This includes a UFA health and
surgery plan, to supplement the
existing surgical assistance plan,
so that members may choose any
doctor they desire, including their
family doctor, and have the wel-
fare fund defray the cost, up to
|a certain amount, while the cost
jof surgery up to $250, all would
also apply to members of the im-

tests a bs ne -. 1,00 |f]| mediate family, even the children.

A group vacation plan, under
which there would be a vacation
in the most favorable period at
least every three years for every
Fireman, instead of a hay
vacation. Nine months, including
the three in Summer, would be
allocated to the more favorable
period, and divided into three
groups of three months apiece, so

that no more than once every
four years would a Fireman find
that he'd have to take a winter
vacation unless he preferred that.

List of Fireman Eligibles
In Appointment Order

The LEADER continues this
week the serial publication of the
NYC Fireman (F.D.) eligible list,
in the order of probable appoint-
ment, This listing has been pre-
pared by The LEADER and is the
only one published that indicates
where a candidate actually stands
on the list. The arrangement of
names, in thesorder of mere per-
centages, as supplied by the Civil
Service Commission, does not take
into consideration the effect of
yeteran preference because vet
preference claims have not been
cleared,

‘The list below assumes all vet
preference claims granted and
other investigation satisfactorily

passed, Count down from the
number at the head of a para-
Braph to ascertain probable ap-

pointment order not specifically
enumerated, The order of stand-
ing as sent to the candidate by
the Commission is to be ignored,
as is last week's listing.

The NYC Employee

(Continued from Page 1)
had requested the certification of
eligibles to fill the 400 remaining
jobs held by provisionals. The last
provisional in the title is expected
to be gone in a few weeks. The
list. originally contained about
6,000 eligibles. The veterans, both.
disabled and non-disabled, were
medically examined last year. The
additidnal tests just completed
made possible the certification of
nearly 700 names required to as-
sure 400 appointments, allowing
for rejections and declinations.

The Board continues to live up
to its reputation for exhausting
all lists.

‘
Waiver Binds Employee

Having signed a formal waiver
of his rights when he was fined
10 days’ pay and demoted to Con-
ductor from the Motorman job
in which he had twa, accidents,
James Quinlan ‘lost his suit for
reinstatement, He had appealed to
the-NYC Civil Service Commission,
after the demotion, and the Com-
mission, which knew nothing of
the waiver, voted to modify the
penalty by putting Mr. Quinlan
on a preferred list for Motorman,
As there were vacancies in the
Motorman title, Mr. Quinlan sued
to compel the Board of Transpor-
tation to put him back as a Motor-
man, Supreme Court Justice Denis
O'Leary Cohalan decided against
him solely on the basis of the
waiver,

But the court held that the
Board’s contention that appeal to
the Civil Service Commission was
not open to Board employees was
without legal support,

Right of Appeal

On this score the court said in
an opinion:

“At the outset respondents con-
tend that petitioner has no right
of appeal under section 22, sub-
division 3, of the Civil Service
Law and that his rights are limited
to those provided him under sec-
tion 14-b of the Rapid Transit
Law. The basis of this contention
is that respondents, having the
responsibility for the safety of
the huge numbers of people who
use the city’s rapid transit facili-
ties, should not Hye their judg-
ment about the suitability, or at
least operating personnel, subject
to the review of those not charged
with this responsibility and not
experienced in the difficult and
dangerous business of operating

j| transit lines. As a management

concept the point so advanced is
not without merit but the legal
argumen based on it has no merit,

“Those employees of the pri-
vately owned transit lines who
were taken into civil service at
the time of unification enjoy all
the privileges of civil service em-

;ployees generally, They are not

in any separate category (Felder
v. Fullen, 27 N. Y. Supp., 2d, 669,
aff'd 263 App. Div., 986, 289 N. Y.,
658), That the wisdom of such an
arrangement is doubtful is not a
matter with which this court may
concern itself without resort to
judicial legislation. Jf it is desir-

come law, such law must be en-
acted by the Legislature,
Why Employee Lost

“All this, however, while requir-
ing comment, is not controlling.
Petitioner, when the incident lead-
ing to his demotion occurred, was
jon probation. (As the result of the
previous accident, whén a passen-
ger was injured as the train was
started before the doors were
closed.) He was faced with the 1o8:
of his position. He had, in respon-
dents’ opinion, demonstrated his
inability to fulfill the position he
held, Faced with the loss of his
employment he consented to the
demotion to the position of con-
ductor, Having so waived his
rights, realizing that his employ-
| ment was at stake, he accepted the
lesser position.”"Having done so he
cannot have the fruits of such an
election and at the same time ap-
peal the decision.

“If he was aggrieved, he should
have appealed that decision with-
out accepting any benefits accru-
ing to him therefrom. His written
consent to accept the lesser posi-
tion was a waiver on his part of
any claim as to the illegality of
such a decision (Matter of Piani
v. Davidson, 240 App. Div., 383),

The Tables Turn

A near victory in a reinstate-
ment suit has been turned into a
victory by Frederick Rabens, a
Correction Officer, on reargument.
William J, Rooney, of 75 Fulton
Street, NYC, is his attorney.

Supreme Court Justice Aron
Steuer first held that the four-
months statute of limitations
barred him. Rabens had been ad-
rested on a criminal charge and
convicted in Special Sessions, after
which he was brought up on dis-
ciplinary proceedings by the de-

artment and pleaded guilty to
aving been convicted. The dis-
ciplinary complaint contained no
details of the’ charges, only men-
tion of the arrest and arraign-
ment. The Appellate Division later
reversed the criminal conviction
and dismissed that charge.

The reargument was based on
Mr, Rooney's invoking Section
1286 of the Civil Practice Act,
which permits two years’ time, in-
stead of four months, where per-
mission is obtained on behalf of
@ person involved in a criminal
case, Such permission had been
granted in an order to show cause,

Association has retained Attorney

Queries Answered
On Career Plan

(Continued from Page 1)

his word that no employee's salary will be reduced. Every
lion that supports the Career and Pay Plan insists
that safeguard for every city worker.

Why should the plan be put into effect now?

up

Because the sooner reclassification for the whole city is
accomplished, the sooner all city employees will get its bene-
fits. IVs a big, complicated job, Tackling it a little bit here

and a little bit there will only add to the confused patchwork
that has caused the present mess. Mayor O’Dwyer says,
“When you're dealing with 165,000 people, the job must be
done once and for all.”

How long will it take to put the Plan into effect?

The biggest and most important part of the task will be a
study of each city position, That study will determine the
proper ¢ and responsibilities for each job, aléo how to
fit the jobs together properly. That can be completed in a
year. 5 4
What will the Career and Pay Plan do for me?

(1) It will upgrade underpaid employees.

(2) It will give equal pay for equal work. The way things
are now, Smith may be doing exactly the same work as Fulano
and yet be drawing the pay of a higher or lower grade.
Or maybe they’re getting the san 5 and yet we find that
Fulano is supervising Smith. When the new plan goes into
effect, if Jones and-Mengano do the same work, they get
the same pay, they work on the same level.

(3) An empl know tly what the duties and
responsibilities of his job are. They'll be down in black and
white for everybody to know. There won't be any uncer-
tainty or confusion about it.

(4) He'll also know what the line of promotion is and
exactly what his chances are for progress and a future career
ity system.

Who is in favor of the Career and Pay Plan?

(1) Mayor O'Dwyer. (2) Most of the organizations of
employees, including the Amerie:

congratulated on his determina-
tion to provide the best in serv-
ice to the public and in rewards
to the deserving employees,

“A real classification will pro-
vide the basis for improving the
City's entire management struct-
ure, for without sound classifica-
tion any administrative improve-
ment rests on a faulty foundation,

“A real classification would
provide promotion opportunities
for employees in dead-end jobs.
The Career and Pay Plan would
give new and real hope to these
thousands of regrettably frus-
trated employees,

“There is a strong human need
for instituting this necessary im-
provement, as well as advantage
in return for the taxpayers’ dol-
lars. The benefits to employee and
public are bound together in-
separably. Most dead-end jobs are
not such because there is no pos-
sible higher position to which em-
ployees may rise, but because there
are higher positions to which they
are not now eligible. A job with-
out prospects of advancement is
not only something terrible for
the employee to endure, but some-
thing of which the City must be
ashamed, There are many such
jobs, There should be none.
