Subway Men Get the Works
In Thorough Investigation
While the Transport Workers Union and the Board of Transportation were snarling at
each other, the huge job of reclassifying all the employees of the IRT and BMT subway lines
calmly got underway last week, The Municipal Civil Service Commission began hiring the
first group of new employees to handle the work, The reclassification program—which de-
termines what titles each of the jobs in the two subway systems should have — will take
nearly a year to complete.
Before the reclassification is
finished, every employee of the
transit lines will have been inter-
viewed, first on the job and later
at the offices of the Civil Service
Commission. He will be finger-
printed, questioned about the type
of work he does, the salary he
earns, asked to show citizenship
papers, and answer general ques-
tions designed to indicate what
type of personal and work record
he has,
Procedure
The procedure for this reclassi-
fication program will be substan-
tially as follows:
Most of the questionnaires which
the Commission sent out recently
to subway workers have been re-
turned. The deadline for sending
in these questionnaires has been
set for April 15, As soon as they
fre all in, they will be separated
—all those for the IRT will be kept
together and similarly the ones
for the BMT will be grouped to-
gether. Then they will be sorted
by functions of various jobs so
that all employees doing similar
work will be gathered together.
After that they are to be renum-
bered and indexed.
How Fingerprints Are Taken
The Commission will send out
o—
Reclassification Jobs
With approval from the
Comptroller of an appropria~
tion of $43,000 to begin work
on a reclassification of jobs in
the IRT and BMT subway lines,
the Municipal Civil Service
Commission began hiring a
staff last week to handle this
work, The Commission expects
to appoint on a six months’
basis, 19 Examining Assistants;
13° Clerks; 18 Typewriting
Copyists; and four Fingerprint
Technicians,
field parties to check the work
that every employee does. At the
same time, fingerprints will be
taken, Each field party will be
accompanied by @ company su-
pervisor or pay clerk, who will wit-
ness the fingerprints and swear
that the subway worker is em-
ployed as stated.
Back in the Commission’s offices
these various records will be sorted
and checked and then turned over
to the Investigation Bureau for
further study.

will be held by the Commission.
Payrolls will be checked by an-
other force to determine whether
employees have the required ser-

As these various steps are com-
pleted the names of employees will
be placed on a reclassification
schedule sheet which will be sub-
mitted to the members of the
Civil Service Commission for ap-

Transferred Employees
Employees whose names are
placed on these sheets will have
been checked for title of their jobs,
character, citizenship and term of
employment, As soon as the Com~
mission approves of these sheets,
the Payroll department will mark
them transferred from non-com-
petitive to the competitive class.
A separate file will be kept of
transferred employees.
Under the terms of the Wicks
Act which provides for transit uni-
fication, employees must have
served at least one year to be elig-
ible for transfer to a Civil Service
status, However, six months, or
more than 150 days of employment
during the last calendar year pre-
ceding unification, will be con-
sidered a year’s employment. Sim-
ilarly nine months in the two pre-
ceding years, and twelve months in
the three preceding years are con-
sidered equivalent to a year’s ser-
vice.

Loses in
began the job of regrading social
investigator positions in the Child
Welfare Bureau. Before that the
jobs were in the ungraded class
with salaries ranging from $1,200
to $3,000. The Commission decided
to place all the jobs under the
title of Social Investigator with a
maximum salary of $1,800. This
step was not however, aimed to
cut the salaries of incumbents
since they would have continued
at their same salary, but not at
the grade to which their salary
would entitle them.
‘The Commission wanted the em-
ployee earning more than $1,800 to
take promotion tests for higher
grade jobs. The classifications
were: Social Investigator—to $1,-
800; Assistant Supervisor—$1,800
to $2,400; Supervisor—$2,400 to
$3,000; Senior Supervisor—$3,000
to $3,600,
A number of employees sued the
Commission contending that, in
addition to retaining their present
salaries, they should receive the
higher grades for their jobs,
‘The employees were upheld in
the Supreme Court and last week
all. Tent ative key answers to the written exams have not been
officially approved.
Medical Tests Begin May 1
As ‘soon as the Commission
has completed the grading of
10,000 exam papers, it will
start giving medical exami-
nations. According to present
plans, the first of this series
of medical tests will begin on
May 1. They will continue for
three months. The Commis-
Sion plans to work on a 1512-
hour, six-day a week basis
during the time these medic-
als are being given. A des-
cription of the medical re-
quirements for Sanitation
Man was published in The
Leader last week.
The competitive physical events
for Sanitation candidates will get
underway as soon as a sufficient
number of men have passed the
medical examinations. The first
of the physical tests will begin in
June. Scheduled for public pre-
sentation at the World’s Fair, ne-
gotiations between Paul Kern,
President of the Commission, and
th. World's Fair Corporation have
bogged down. No one knows, at
this time, just where the physical
exam will be held.
The final rating fo: Sanitation
candidates will be the grade re-
ceived on the physical tests, since
the written exam was qualifying
and not competitive.
Eligible List 7,500
The Commission will limit the
eligible list resulting from the ser-
ies of written, medical, and phys-
ical exams to 7,500 men. This pol-
icy is one which the Commission
has adopted to limit the size of
eligible lists to the needs of the
service.
Various estimates have put the
number of jobs that will be filled
from the Sanitation list at 2,000
during a four year period, or an
average of 500 a year, However,
the list will probably be used to
fill similar positions in other city
departments,

Stagger the Exams!
Me JOHNSON is a good stenographer, college-edu-
1, So when Mary saw four exams for which
she was eminently fitted, she filed to take them all.
She was certain, she felt, that her name would appear
on at least one of the four coming lists,
Now Mary Johnson discovers that all her exams are
scheduled for the same day—April 27! On a single day,
Mary must take exams for College Clerk, Court Stenog-
stenographer Grade 2, and Stenographer-
The Commission is willing to make arrangements so
that Mary may take all these exams on the 27th—but
what justice can she do any one of them? Just imagine
Mary, fagged out, wobbling to the last of the four tests!
It seems to be not too difficult a matter to stagger
exams which are so much alike in their requirements as
to attract the same group of candidates,
Just a@ little foresight when the exam dates are being
set, please!
Lessons in Economy
O MATTER what else happened to the State em-
ployees through the Legislature this year, one
victory was theirs. The Feld-Hamilton salary in-
crements are safe. That is something definitely to cheer
about.
The Leader is proud to recall the part it played in this
successful battle. Each week we published an editorial
telling the Legislators that the Civil Service Employees
will not stand for their pockets being rifled each time
economy blares down Capitol Hill.
This year’s struggle should serve as an object lesson.
Legislators will listen just so long as we tell them what we
think, Other interests have learned this in past years,
The Civil Service employee now knows that it works.
“Cut and slash, prune and slice , . . The cost of
government personnel is exhorbitant . . . Too many
people , . . Too much money going out to them ,.. Not
at all like private business.”
That's the line which economy mongers have been
feeding the public, And the public, overwhelmed by
the clamor, is almost taken in,
But not all the howling of all the economy mongers
can do away with the hard facts.
And the facts are these:
1, Personnel consumes less than ten per cent of the
cost of government,
2, Personnel in government takes a smaller share of
the cost than personnel in private industry.
The U, 8. Commerce Department has made a careful
study of government costs, It has found that the major
items of expense are national defense, relief, public
works, interest and debt retirement. Salaries make up a
comparatively small chunk of the total expenditure.
Th fact, many categories of government workers are
grossly underpaid, as the economy boys could easily dis-
cover if they'd take a few minutes off from their howling
to find out what's what,
The Residence Issue
OST; a chance at decent treatment for those who,
hecause of residence, can't work where they want
to work,
To overcome some of the effects of the Lyons Resi-
dence Law, which holds that you've got to live where
you work, whether convenient or not, The Leader de-
vised a bill introduced into the State Senate by Senator
Philip M. Kleinfeld and the Assembly by Robert FP.
Wagner, Jr.
The A
mbly passed it unanimously,
Tn the the bill w ught the meshes of
@ session nearing its end, with le tors driving furiously
so that they could get home. The Leader bill never
came out of committee when the gavel rang down on
the si on’s end,
But the fight isn’t over.
What we tried to do in the Senate Legislature to
curb an injustice against Civil employees, we shall
complish in New York City.

“,.. T would rather
be in the Assembly ,..”
Emevson David
Fite
ARSON David Fite greeted the ajournment of the
E State Legislature with mixed feelings. He's glad
the weary weeks are at an end, But he’s sorry he’s
no longer able, even for a few months, to acquire the
practical insight into politics that is so great a help to
teaching government at Vassar College.
The Legislature's only “brain truster,” Assemblyman
Fite has words of advice for his professorial colleagues:
“I wish they could all see the actual government of New
York State in operation, They would get a higher con-
ception of the problems, and of the ability of those try-
ing to solve them,”
Of his colleagues in the Assembly, he says: “I have
only the warmest admiration for them. I would rather
be in the Assembly than in any other legislative body
in the country.”
As chairman of the Assembly's Civil Service Commit-
tee, Emerson Fite weighs scores of bills, This session
saw an unusual quantity of Civil Service legislation
proposed. His committee meets Wednesday mornings at
9 o'clock—while most of Albany is still half asleep!
During the session, Assemblyman Fite leads a double
life, made possible by quick train service between Albany
and Poughkeepsie—some 80 miles apart. Monday, Thurs-
day, and Friday are spent in class; from Monday night
to Wednesday night he remains in Albany.
Prof and Students
Occasionally he has to allow cuts to his students.
During the closing weeks of the session, when Thurs-
day and sometimes Friday meetings are called, the stu-
dents miss his lectures. But they make up for it later
on by hearing a fresh batch of stories on how their gov-
ernment actually works.
Shy, somewhat baldish—Emerson Fite looks more like
the professor than the Assemblyman. Yet it’s only in
Albany that he’s known as “professor.” By command,
his students call him “mister,” while those with whom
he is on more friendly terms address him as ‘Fitey.”
Emerson Fite was born into the whirl of politics, He
first saw the light of day in-Marion, Ohio, on the same
street from which Warren Harding started his trek to
the White House,
“Everyone in Ohio is just naturally interested in poli-
tics,” he explains. ‘“Remember—it’s the mother state
of presidents.”

of the Fire Department it just
does not work and probably

Next, Please!
Who will be the next Fire Com-
missioner? Will our astute Mayor
follow his policy of “career man”
and appoint a member of the Fire
Department as Commissioner, or
will he go outside of the Depart-
ment? If he appoints a member
of the Fire Department, will he
again merge the two jobs? Or will
he appoint two different men,
either from the Department or
outside of the Department, or will
it be a combination of both?
There is no Chief of the De-
.partment today, legally, The
Chief of the Department exists
only on paper, apparently, Mc-
Elligott is the Fire Commis-
sioner, and McElligott the Chief
of the Department seems to be
absent on leave, without pay,
ready to return when his leave
of absence is terminated.
Should the Mayor appoint an-
other Commissioner, the men are
asking whether McElligott will re-
turn and take charge as Chief of
the Department. So far, the Civil
Service Commission has not made
a move to hold an examination
for Chief of the Department due,
probably, to this contingency. In
the meantime, it is whispered in
the Department that many Deputy
Chiefs are burning the midnight
oil in preparation for the exam-
ination.
Who's The Man?
A number of Deputy Chiefs—
there are 39 in all—have been
prominently mentioned as the
Mayor's next choice for Fire
Commissioner. They are: Dep-
uty Chiefs David Kidney, Har-
old Burke, Join J. McCarthy,
Walter O'Leary, John J, T. Wal-

other able men in the Deputy
Chief ranks and the Mayor

Fire History
Told in Book
“The History of the New York
Fire Department,” by Lowell M.
Limpus is a readable book which
traces the growth of New York’s
fire-fighting forces over a period
of 300 years, It’s published by E,
P, Dutton and Co., Inc., and sells
for $3.50. Fire Commissioner John
J. McElligott has written a pre-
face on the Ancient Art of Fire
Fighting.
Lowell Limpus, who spent many
months of careful research before
writing this book, tells the story
of the Fire Department from its
birth in 1731 to modern times,
The growth of the Fire Depart-
ment, from the days when the
first two engines were imported
from London, was swift as was the
expansion of New York City itself,
Every great fire, from the con-
flagration of 1776 which destroyed
a fourth of the city, to the tragic
Triangle Shirt Waist Factory
holocaust of 1911 are described in
exciting detail, Limpus has also
been able to gather and tell many
an intimate story of the great fire
fighters of other days.

The 1940 session of the State
Legislature chug-chugged to a
halt Saturday night. Recapitula-
tion finds that only four Civil Ser-
vice bills have so far received the
okay of Governor Lehman, thus
adding them to the laws of the
State:
1) The Griffith-Pite bill to ex-
tend from Fel). 1 to March 1, 1940
the time within which the Fite
Commission should report, This
report has already been submitted.
A new bill, that passed both
sion’s life to Feb, 1, 1941, and
would add the secretary of the
County Officers Association to the
Commission.
2) The Schwartzwald-Ives bill
to exempt Trial Examiners, State
Labor Relations Board, from com-
petitive Civil Service exams, Rec-
ommended by the Ives Committee
on Labor and Industrial Relations,
it leaves to the State Civil Ser-
vice Commissio~ the eventual
classification of all positions in
the SLRB.
3) The Condon-Wilson bil] pro-
viding for an eight-hour day, thus
extending the three-platoon sys-
tem, for each police force of any
commission or agency of a county
having @ police force of not less
than four members.
4) The Phelps-Cappozzoli bill
providing for semi-monthly in-
stead of monthly payment of com-
pensation to all officers and em-
Ployees of the Court of General
Sessions of New York County. |

mail reaches their fingers. To them be-
longs all the clerical work involved in a
business of such size,
If anyone deserves the title “one-man
Post office,” it’s the Rural Carrier, In
most sections of the country he makes a
daily call; in some, three times a week
is tops. The Carrier collects and delivers
mail, as does his city cousin, In addition,
though, he gets packages for parcel post,
takes care of money orders and COD
mail, and in general does on a small scale
what thousands of employees do in the
big cities.
Stop, Look, Listen
The nation’s train routes are filled
with Railway Postal Clerks. They sort
and deliver all the mail that comes to the
railroads for shipment to other cities.
‘The work of the Postmasters varies, of
course, with the amount of business go-
ing through each office. In the large
cities, the position of the Postmaster is
quite comparable to our most responsible
business executive. The post office IS big
business. In our hamlets, the postmas-
tership shrinks to a part-time clerical
job, usually filled in addition to. running
@ general store.
Four classes of postmasterships exist,
The amount of receipts determines the
class. It is only since 1938 that post-
masters of the first three classes are Civil
Service; the fourth is still outside.
Where Do You Live?
Residence restrictions are chief among
the requirements for postal jobs. The
U. S. Civil Service Commission periodical-
ly holds nation-wide exams for Mail Car-
rier and Postal Clerk. A candidate must
live within the delivery of the post office
in which he wants to work and is eligible
for appointment at that post office only.
Specific exams are given when Rural
Carrier jobs are oper, Candidates must
live within the delivery limits of the post
office, Postmasters must have lived
within the delivery limits for at least a
year,
Railway Postal Clerks will be appointed
only in the State in which they live. They
have an additional living problem. once
they get a job. Since the route on which
they work is normally about a day's train
run, they are expected to keep living
quarters at both ends,
Candidates must also be between cer-
tain ages and meet physical require-
ments. Both Mail Carrier and Postal
Clerk applicants must be between 18 and
45, weigh at least 125 pounds, measure at
least five feet four inches in height. Rural
Carriers must be from 18 to 50, and in
excellent physical condition. No color
blindness is allowed. Since the physical
demands on Railway Mail Clerks are
greater than for other postal employees,
candidates must be from 18 to 35, weigh
130 pounds, stand five feet six.
The maximum age for a Postmaster
candidate is 63. The minimum varies ac-
cording to the class of post office: third
class—21; second class—23; first class
paying between $3,200-$4,000—25; first
class paying $4,200 and above—30,
The Distaff Side
Ever see a woman “postman”? Not
very frequently, because there just aren't
many women in the postal system. Not
that they aren’t eligible. Women may be
appointed as Postal Clerks, provided
they're at least five feet tell, but are rare-
ly considered for Mail Carrier jobs, Sev-
eral hundred women serve throughout the
country as Rural Carriers, while they
fill many postmasterships, particularly in
third-class offices. The job of a Rail-
way Mail Clerk is thought too arduous
for women.
Salaries for postal employees are con-
siderably above average. Mail Carriers
and Postal Clerks in the cities start at
$1,700, enjoy yearly increases up to $2,100.
Before appointment, they serve as sub-
stitutes at the rate of 65 cents an hour.
They are paid only when they work, and
don't get a job until a vacancy occurs.
Railway Postal Clerks join the service
at $1,850, are raised $100 a year up to
$2,450. Rural Carriers earn $1,300 a year,
Plus $20 for each mile over 30, Five cents
a mile travelling expenses is also given.
In return, the Carrier supplies his own
car and pays all expenses, Village Car-
riers earn between $1,150 and $1,350, on
@ full-time basis, and from $575 to $675
when it’s part-time, Substitutes are paid
50 cents an hour,
CAREER
New York’s Albert Goldman 1s highest
paid among the nation’s postmasters; he
receives $12,000, From this figure, sala-
ries shoot all the way down to a couple
of dollars a year. The stipend depends
on the amount of business done in the of-
fice.
Goldman Is Tops
Promotion opportunities, always good
in the postal service, have become even
better since the postmasters came under
Civil Service two years ago. Positions
as Foreman, Supervisor, and Assistant
Postmaster have always been filled from
the ranks,
Postmasters in office in 1938 had to
take qualifying exams only to stay in the
job. Vacancies go to winners in compe-
titive exams, Applicants are expected ta
show experience—business or otherwise—
which qualify them for the job. No writ-
ten exams are given for first-class post-
masterships, but are included in the tests
for second and third-class offices.
Fourth-class postmasters receiving $500
or more take exams. In addition, they
must show that they have suitable space
for a post office, and that the citizenry
approves of them, In towns paying less
than $500, a postal inspector makes a
visit when ‘a vacancy occurs, and the
Postmaster General makes the appoint-
ment on the basis of the resulting report,
Examinations in the postal service vary
with the job. Mail Carriers, Postal Clerks,
and Railway Postal Clerks take: 1) a
general test of judgment, ability to follow
directions, understanding of postal words
and expressions, and simple arithmetic;
2) special tests (Sorting and Following
Instructions) based on actual duties they
will hayé to perform. Rural Carriers take
@ general test, along with an exam in
arithmetic to determine ability to figure

mainly unskilled labor jobs, In the State
service, these positions are filled without
any examinations. The cities, however,
fill the jobs in order of application: phy-
sical and medical examinations are fre-
quently required before appointment.
4) The competitive class. In this class
are jobs fo’ which competitive examin-
ations are found to be practicable. A
position falls into the competitive class
unless a) it is specifically included by
statute in the exempt, non-competitive,
or labor class; or b) the Civil Service
Commission exempts it or places it in the
non-competitive or labor class.
In passing, we should mention that an-
other Commission, appointed by Governor
Lehman and headed by Grace A, Reavy,
head of the State Civil Service Commis-
sion, is studying ways of bringing more
non-competitive State jobs into the com-
petitive service.
One-Third Non-Competitive
When Governor Lehman appointed the
12-man body last October, ho urged that
competition cover as many of the non-
competitive employees as may prove
“practicable.” Non-competitive employ-
ees in the State number close to 25,000,
or about one-third the entire service.
So the trend, at least as far as the
State is concerned, is from the non-com-
petitive to the competitive. However, I
believe we will find that in the smaller
units of government—those to be affected
by our work—proportionately fewer posi-
tions are subject to competitive exams,
Under existing standards, many positions
will not fall into the competitive class.
Many people feel that part-time positions,
for example, should be excluded from
Civil. Service on the, ground that com-
Petitive exams are not practicable. On
analysis, though, many of these fall into
@ classification where examination is not
required.
Who'll Be in Charge?
Who will administer Civil Service to
these 200,000 employees?. Will -it be by
the State Civil Service Commission? Will
local commissions do the job? Or will
some combination formula be found?
Before we go into this matter, I would
like to quote some passages from an ad-
dress delivered by Supreme Court Justice
Stanley Reed, He spoke at the Goyern-
mental Research Conference at Trenton,
N. J., on September 8, 1939, Mr. Justice
Reed is chairman of a commission in-
Sw ae
vestigating possibilities of improving the
federal Civil Service, He has some very
interesting things to say, particularly per-
tinent to our own problems:
Justice Reed Says It
“Our political life centers around lo-
cal units, townships, cities, counties,
Only a few of the larger and more
progressive cities have established Civ-
il Service for themselves. There is a
deep seated predilection for local men
for local governmental positions, Con-
Sequently there are not national Civil
Service registers covering the entire
United States. There is no transition
machinery whereby one may pass eas-
ily from county to county, state to
state, or into the federal service.
“While such arrangements might
make government setvice more attrac-
tive to some, the disadvantages of
centralization counterbalance any such
plan, even in theory, while in prac-
tice it is of course impossible,
“There is one improvement, however,
practicable for immediate achievement.
This is state-wide Civil Service regis-
ters open to all counties and munici-
palities, We have seen state handling
of roads supersede county handling
By EMERSON D. FITE
Chairman, Fite Commission
Chairman, Assembly Civil Service Committee
and state direction of schools install
systems of examination for all teach-
ers. Similarly, state registers might
be set up to make available to the
smaller governmental units the bene-
fit of expert examination and apprais-
al of the capacity of applicants for
positions in the police, fire, street, util-
ity, health, and other services.
“The efficiency of local services
Ought to be furtherec by this means.
Many local’ units of government are
too small to have any personnel board,
Many of their functions, too, such as
water, health, streets, need the ser-
vices of experts for part time only.
Such a system enables them to uti-
lize their skill as needed. Even more
important, such a plan open the way
for transfer between the governmental
agencies of the state.
“Tt is quite obvious that the quality
of the civil employee will not rise high-
er than the level of the group from
which he is drawn. Our problem, then,
is to see that the cream of available
material moves toward government
service.
“We do not have an office-holding
class in this country, The requirement
of apportionment does much to min-
imize this danger in the Federal Goy-
ernment,
“For local governments, general in-
terest will keep us free from such an
ingrown bureaucracy. Though some
sneer at those who make @ profession
of the public service, I believe one
finds in city, State, and nation, as
many fine examples of useful lives,
proportionately, as in any other phase
of human activity. To this opportun-
ity for service, however, there must
be added the chance for advancement
to the highest honors, a dignity of
position and a fair measure of secur-
ity, In this way, our governments will
develop a true career service.”
When we go further into our discus-
sion of the alternatives for administer-
ing Civil Service in these 44 counties,
Mr. Justice Reed's words will take on
added weight.
Other problems to be considered are
the matters of residence qualifications,
transfer and promotions, repeal or revis-
ion of existing laws, retirement, etc.

Wanted: Cream of the Crop
NCLE SAM, through the U. S, Civil
Service Commission, competes with:
private industry for the cream of
college graduates by giving the junior
professional assistant competitive exam-
ination annually,
Employees recruited from junior pro-
fessional registers have been highly suc-
cessful in government work; so much s0,
in fact, that the commission plans to con-
tinue the tests indefinitely on an annual
basis, even though relatively few may be
taken each year from eligible registers.
There has been some criticism leveled
at the commission for announcing a new
junior professional assistant test when
there were thousands of eligibles on the
registers set up only last year, Gener-
ally speaking, the attacks have been un-
warranted and would not have been made
had the critics understood the situation,
It is true, of course, that 37,059 were
examined last year and 9,609 were certi-
fied as eligibles. Not more than a third
of the eligibles have been called to work,
But the angle the critics fail to con-
sider is that the tests are given for a num-
ber of professions and that separate re-
gisters are set up for each of these
groups. Last year the junior professional
assistant carried the following 22 option-
al branches:
From A to V
Administrative technician, agrono-
mist, bacteriologist, biologis:, botanist
(taxonomic), dairy husbandman, econ-
omist, engineer, entomologist, examin-
ation assistant, forester, geologist, home
economist, pharmacist, plant patholo-
gist, plant physiologist, pomologist,
range examiner, soil scientist, statisti-
cian, textile technologist, and veterin-
arian,
This year the examination was re-
peated only for those professions whose
registers were active during the year.
The following 11 registers were used
freely, and the prospects are good that
all the eligibles will be called; admin-
istrative technician, agronomist, biolo-
gist, economist, entomologist, forester,

Eleven optional subjects given last year
are not being repeated because the com-
mission feels last year’s registers will be
ample to meet the needs for the coming
year, Registers to stand are bacteriol-
ogist, botanist (taxonomic), dairy hus-
bandman, engineer, examination assist-
ant, geologist, home economist, pharma-
cist, plant pathologist, plant physiolo-
gist, and pomologist.
And the commission added 16 new op-
tionals to serve demands of the various
departments and agencies under Civil
Service, They were agricultural econom-
ist, animal breeder, archaeologist, arch-
ivist, chemist, geographer, information
assistant, legal assistant, librarian, metal-

try husbandman, public welfare assistant,

allowed to compete without meeting” any
requirements—and that’s all that seems
® to be known,
Last week, elementary classes in Civil
Service practice and procedure were held
in four cities of the State. Welfare com-
missioners, fiscal officers, appointing offi-
cers, and all others directly concerned
with this Civil Service business were the
pupils. State Commission officials, head-
ed by executive officer Frank H. Densler,
‘were the teachers, And the teachers were
kept stepping by a constant barrage of
questions.
Each of the welfare officials took away
with him three blanks for each employee:
1) a@ nomination for a non-competitive
position, which will cover the employee's
status until the lists appear at the end
of the year; 2) an application blank,
which will permit the employee to com-
pete in October's tests; 3) a card on
which the State Commission can notify
the employee when and where his test
will be given, The officials were urged
to have No, 1 returned before April 15 so
that the payrolls may be certified short-
ly afterwards,

NEWS BRIEFS
first report of exactly how much mon-
ey comes in from candidates. The annual
report for 1939, submitted to the Legis-
lature, reveals that 18,294 candidates paid
in $26,969 for the privilege of getting into
the race for State positions. Of this
sum, the Commission returned one-third,
or $8,904, Thus $18,065 came to the Com-
mission in this first attempt to put Civil
Service on something of a paying basis.
Other interesting things are reported
by the Commission—made up of Presi-
dent Grace A, Reavy, Howard G. E. Smith,
and Howard P. Jones—in the 57th an-
nual report since Civil Service first came
to New York State.
For example, 459 examinations were
held in 1939, and nearly 40,000 candidates
filed. A little more than half that num-
ber were finally admitted to the written
exams. Half of the exams were open com-
petitive, the others promotion, Four of
the exams admitted non-residents, while
11 were for jobs of a strenuous’ nature
and thus had age limits appended, |
Appointments numbered 4,459, of which
547 were promotions, This brings the
number of positions under the jurisdiction
of the Commission to 64,302, an all-time
high, This figure is startling in light of
the 913 less jobs in State departments
during 1939 than existed in 1938. The
reduced budget, you remember, brought
this about. However, the greeter num-
ber of new county positions accounts for
the high State-wide figure,
Featured in the report is discussion of
steps now under way which will greatly
increase the work of the Commission,
The Fite Merit Extension Commission
(see page 11 for announcement) is study-
ing ways and means of applying Civil
Service to 200,0000 employees in 44 coun-
ties, At the same time, a commission

Fond parents used to envisage the

its Civil Service employees. According
to the statement of policy of the Commit-

“We would like every city employee
to feel that if he does his work prop-
erly and masters the problems of city
business, he will have the opportunity
of steady progress and the ultimate
goal of being our Mayor.”
‘The Committee is ‘a non-partisan group
aiming to get good government for its

favor of the merit system, believe that

’s Calendar
| City Commission
90-DAY RULE WAIVED
Twice in one meeting the Municipal Civil Service Commis-
sion waived the rule prohibiting temporary employees from
being certified to permanent jobs for a period of 90 days.
The eligible lists affected were the Attendant-Messenger,
Grade 1, and the Social Investigator. In the former’s case, the
rule was waived only for appointments to the World’s Fair and
the Dept. of Parks. Reason for the waiver, explained Dr. Wal-
lace Sayre, Commissioner, is that a hardship is worked on per-
sons near the top of the list when a large number of temporary
jobs are offered.
Other items on the Commission’s calendar are as follows:
Occupational Aide
1 The Commission postponed for
one week any action on the proposal to
lace the title “Occupational Aide” in the
Instructional Service.
Clerical, Attendance Service
1453. Decision was reserved on the
proposed amendment of the Clerical and
Attendance Service. Briefs of persons and
groups opposing the amendment are now
being studied by the legal division of the
Commission.
Special Examinations
1459. Because of clerical errors of the
Commission, three persons will be permit-
ted to take special examinations, They are
Daniel C. Pantaleo and Jack Irving Levin,
who failed to receive notices for the So-
cial Investigator exam; and Raymond I,
Peter, who was not notified of the Signal
Maintainer, Group B exam. The exams
will be of an essay type.
Notification Process
1460. Because many departments do
not tell candidates they are being certi-
fied to positions subject to investigation,
the Commission directed that, when such
is the case, a statement to this effect must
be included in letters sent to candidates
by the various departments.
Sanitation Examiners
1470, Three new medical examiners
will be employed by the Commission to
help conduct the large Sanitation Man
exam.
Legal Social Worker
1471. Because the Commission believed
the work can be done by persons on the
Social Investigator list, the request of the
Dept. of Welfare for an exam for the posi-
tion of Legal Social Worker or Legal Sup-
ervisor in the Division of Special In-
vestigation was turned down. The work
is not so different, the Commission de-
clared, as to require special training.
Juni ychologist
1473. A new title, Junior Psychologist,
was requested by the Reclassification
Committee of the Board of Higher Edu-
cation. The Commission approved.
Housing Reclassi ion
1473, The examining division of the
Commission was advised to continue its
study on reclassifying Housing positions.
A report on the progress of the study to
date was received.
Social Investigator
1475. The Social Investigator list will
be certified to fill a position in the Dept.
of Hospitals now held by William M.
Kelly. Mr. Kelly asked that the title be
changed to Resource Consultant, but he
was refused.
Clerk, Grade 5
1476. The Commission denied the re-
quest of the Municipal Court for a pro-
motion exam for Clerk, Grade 5,
Three-Year Rule
1482, Because there are large num-
bers of persons already eligible for the
Promotion to Captain (Dept. of Correc-
tion) exam, the Commission decided that
no attempt would be made at this time to
waive the three-year rule.
Inspector of Printing
1487. The Commission cancelled an
examination which it had ordered for In-
spector of Printing and Stationery, Grade
2.
Physical Examiners
1489. Appointment of two persons to
the physical examination board of the
Commission was approved.
Junior Engineer: 4
1494, The list for Junior Engineer (Civ-
ib, Grade 3, will not be made approp-
riate for Junior Engineer (Housing Con-
struction), Grade 3, because a new list for
the latter position is due soon.
Supervisor Exams
1496. Because the Commission has
ordered citywide promotion examinations,
three departmental Supervisor efams in
the Board of Child Welfare were can-
celled. They are Assistant Supervisor,
Grade 2; Supervisor, Grade 3; and Senior
Supervisor, Grade 4.
Subway Reclassification
1498. The procedure for reclassifying
subway workers unter unification was
approved, subject to the recommendations
of the examiner in charge. A report on
procedure is expected to be released with-
in two weeks.
City Coll
1499.
Credits
City College: of New York cred-
its, designed to prepare students for the
Division of Public Service Training, were
recognized by the Commission as relevant
to the field of service.
Bureau Rulings
1503. Technical ch..nges in the rules of
the Payroll Bureau, the Certification Bu-
reau and the Service Rating Bureau were
approved. The changes pertain to leaves
of absence, probationary periods, etc., and
are made to clarify existing rules and pol-
icies affecting the work of the bureaus.
Medical Exams
1504. Clarifying its recent change of
policy regarding departmer.tal medical re-
jections, the Commission stated that such
a rejection would not cause a person's
name to be taken off an eligible
less @ defect is revealed which
disclosed in the Commission’
examination,
Junior Engineer
1507. The Commission wili study
reasons, given by the Board of Educa,
for refusing to use the list for Junio; ‘on,
gineer (Mechanical), Grade 3, to 1), )."
cancies for Junior Mechanical p;, i bid
man, Grade 3. ates
Lunchroom Helper
1527. The problem of the Boarg
Education’s School Lunch Helpers it
was not solved by the Commission, in
tion was delayed another week. The ga"
mission is seeking an eligible list, yyrr
is appropriate for the par‘-time pa
which pay approximately $300 a ye?
The Board has objected to the Porter jg
Sanitation Man “
1531. A request that the requirements
for the Sanitation Man medical and phys,
ical exams be made less stringent y,,

Sanitation Men: Answers
To Medical Questions
By OSCAR A, SPIER
Flat Feet
B.S, Flat feet will not disqualify
you from taking the Sanitation
Man test as long as you can walk
properly and the degree of the
flat feet is not too great. Use the
Munson exercise by balancing on
the ball and toes of the feet.
Mi
9 Fingers
A. C, If you have two fingers
missing from your left hand and
are not handicapped by same, you
will not be disqualified, if you are
able to perform the requirements
of the test.
Hammer Toe
F.F. You will be rejected for
having a hammer toe and a bun-
jon unless these defects are cor-
rected by surgery before the test.
This operation is comparatively
simple, and you would not require
more than two or three weeks to
get back in shape.
Psoriasis
C. R, Psoriasis, a aerve rash that
breaks out at bone joints, will not
disqualify you. An increase in
Vitamin B will relieve your con~
dition. A reputable druggist will
provide you with a standard vita-
min preparation,
Hernia
J.J. Mc, If you have an oper-
ation now for your hernia, you
may be physically fit in time to
take the medical and physical ex-
amination, Since you are an ath-
lete, you should recover more rap-
idly than the average man.
Hemorrhoids
R, G. Since you are unemployed,
I would advise that you visit the
clinic of any city institution to
have electric treatments for Hem-
orrhoids. They can be cured by
surgery or injections,
Bunions
J. H. Bunion will not elimin-)
ate you if the degree of deformity
s not too great. You should either
‘ubmit to an operation or use
xf scholl-spool method, which in-
olves placing rubber spools be-
®
| tween the large toe and the next
toe,
Color Blindness
| J.C. and G. B. If you are com-
| pletely color-blind, you will fail.
|'There is no known cure. To be
| red-green blind is to be completely
| color blind,
| Vacancies Exist for
| Janitor Engineers
The Municipal Civil Service
Commission had good news last
| week for 35 city employees, out of|
a field of 94, who took the recent)
|promotion exam for Janitor En-|
gineer (Custodian Engineer). The}
Commission announced that 35 of
the candidates passed the test and
that job prospects seem extremely
bright for them, Many vacanci
Jexist in the position at salar
|ranging from $3,432 to $7,836 and |
it is expected that the list will
soon be exhausted. |
Janitor Engineers are paid a}
{lump sum salary, out of which |
| they must pay any help they re-|
quire in caring for buildings. |
Certification from the new list}
is expected to start within a fev,
| days:
|
| April 5 for
Maintenance Test
The written test for Maintainers,
Helpers, a promotion exam, will |
be held on Friday, April 5 at the

cies will be filled in the Board of
