DITORIAL

Art Show Idea
Going Over Big

HE art show that the Civil Service Employees Asso-
ciation will hold for exhibitors from Albany county

and surrounding counties is

more than a small, isolated

event, since it represents both recognition of the cultural
life of civil service employees and sets a pattern. So far
as is known, this will be the first time that a group of pub-
lic employees has held an art show, in the history of these
cultural United States, and we say it’s about time.

The Association deserves great credit for the inno-

vation. From present indications, the art show idea will
spread, not only throughout the Association, encompass-
ing all the other areas of the State for semi-local exhibits,
but possibly an all-State exhibit as a future grand turnout.

Other public employee organizations are discussing
the art show idea with enthusiasm, A good idea has the
knack of spreading.

September 4 Deadline

It is highly advisable that public employees keep in
close touch with current events and contacts with all as-
pects of life, and not confine their chapter or Association
activities to the defense of the merit system, the recogni-
tion of the value of services rendered, and the fair treat-
ment of employees by their public employer. Meetings
can be made more interesting, greater attendance can
result, and inestimable benefit accrue to the members,
through cultural pursuits, talks by leaders of thought in

other lines than civil service, and by others who have
made their marks. There is something about success that’s

not parochial,
ness, of cour

ust as there is about art. The main busi-
not to be forgotten!

The art show will be held in the Albany Institute
of History and Art, 125 Washington Avenue, Albany, from

September 17 to October 9. The last

day to deliver

an exhibit is Tuesday, September 4, so anybody eligible

— and he needn't be
has any idea of exhib

a civil service employee — who
ing oi

water colors, ceramics,

sculpture or prints should bestir himself now.

WHAT EVERY EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW

Court Decision Imperils
Covered-in Employees’
Jobs and Promotion Rights

By THEODORE BECKER

NOT ONLY future promotion
opportunities, but also the security
of present positions, may be in
danger for employees who were
covered into the Competitive Class.
Such covering-in was done by the
Civil Service Commission, hence
through no fault of their own
these employees may be in @ pre-
dicament, through a recent de-
cision of the Court of Appeals. The
court held that promotion eligi-
bility was barred to those who
hadn't passed a competitive test
for the next lower grade.

May Be Sweeping

The Court either overlooked
covered-in employees or deemed
their covering-in to be the legal
equivalent of passing competitive
test. The courts have consistently
sustained the covering-in princi-
ple, Now doubt arises, and with it
the danger that, through adminis-
trative action or through some
court case, many careers may be
put in jeopardy.

In view of the recent ruling of
the Court, all promotion exams
for Competitive Class positions
may of necessity have to be con-
fined to Competitive Class em-
ployees. This restriction is cus-
tomary in most civil service jur-
isdictions, but the NYC Com-
mission had sought, in good
faith, to promote Labor Class
employees to the Competitive
Class position of rammer.

Law Quoted

Our highest State court, in an
action brought to bar appoint-
ments from the resultant list,
considered subdivisions 1 and 8
of Section 16 the Civil Service
Law, which read as follows:

“1, Pilling vacancies by promo-
tion, Vacancies in positions in
the competitive class shall be
filled, as far as practicable, by
promotion from among persons
holding positions in a lower

rade in the department in
h the vacancy exists.

Limitation upon promo-
tion, transfer or reinstatements,

“No promotion, transfer or
reinstatement shall be made
from a position in one class to a
Position in another class unless
the same be specifically author~
ized by the State or municipal
commission, nor shall a person
be promoted or transferred to
@ position for origina: entrance
to which there is required by this
chapter or the rules an exami-
nation involving essential tests
or qualifications different from
or higher than those required
for original entrance to the posi-
tion held by such person, unless
he shall have passed the exami-
nation and is eligible for ap-
Extaimens to such higher posi-
jon.”

Earlier Test

These provisions, according to
the Court, mean that “promo-
tion examinations may be held
only where the persons sought to
be promoted have passed an
open - competitive examination
for a lower grade in the type of
work involved in the position to
which it is sought to promote
them.”

As Labor Class employees pre-
sumably took no entrance exam
which would test them for the

work they would be doing as
rammers, the Court threw out
the promotion exam. I} noted,

in passing, the policy manifested
in the Civil Service Law of filling
vacancies, as far as practicable,
by promotion from among per-
sons holding positions in a lower
grade. The court mentioned “the
wisdom of that policy in tending
to raise the morale of govern-

ment employees and thus pro-

mote efficiency,” but stated that
under our State Constitution and
Civil Service Law, “the right to
appointment is entitled to the
same protection as the right to
promotion.” The implication is
that those seeking jobs, for
which they had never previously
been even partly tested, must
prove “their capabilities in open
competition with other appli-
cents.” (Murray vy McNamara,
decided 17-11-51).
Implications of Decision

From the Court’s decision, it
is clear that, in general, Labor,
Exempt and Non-Competitive
Class employees are ineligible for
Promotion to Competitive Class
Positions, This is because they
never took any open-competitive
exam to get into the occupational
field represented by their pres-

ent jobs, But what about other
types of employees now in the
Competitive Class who never

took a competitive examination
to obtain that status. Many such
employees were “covered in” un-
der statutes. Similarly, under
Court of Appeals decisions in-
cumbents whose jobs are re-
classified are themselves reclassi-
fied, usually to the Competitive
Class, from the Labor, Exempt or
Non-Competitive Class. Under
these decisions such employees
have enjoyed all the rights and
privileges of Competitive Class
employees, including admission
to Competitive Class promotion
exams, Many who were covered-in
passed promotion tests and got
their present supervisory jobs.
Serious Situation

There is no reason to expect
that they will not continue to
enjoy these benefits, since they
were legally put in the Com-
petitive Class, and covering-in has
been judically accepted as the
legal equivalent of passing a
competitieve test. In other words
covering-in is another legal route
to attaining Competitive Class
Status,

Evidently the Court of Appeals

didn’t consider this particular
method when, in the majority
opinion, it rationalized its de~
cision without any mention of
the covering-in process. The
Court may have felt that the
covering-in was too patently an
acceptable legal substitute for
the passing of a competitive test
to warrant comment, The decision
was 4 to 3. The minority opinion
was silent on covering-in too,

In the Murray case the Court
did not have this question before
it, but its prevailing opinion dis-
cussed other related matters also
not before it. Moreover, the
minority opinion, a strong dis=
sent, pointed out what the minor-
ity considered weaknesses in the
majority's argument, but with-
out mention of the covering-in
Process as being contrary to the
majority’s argument.

Must Take No Chances

The language of the majority
opinion, if literally construed,
could cast some doubt upon the
Promotion rights of employees
who'd been covered into the
Competitive Class,

The majority decision stated
that “promotion examinations
may be held only where the em-
ployees sought to be promoted
have passed an open-competitive
examination for a lower grade
in the type of york involved in
the position to which promotion
is sought.” Those are very plain
words. While the covering-in
Process does seem to be a
equivalent of passing a compe-
titive test, there are too many
careers at stake to warrant tak-
ing any chances. Definitely the
State Legislature should be
asked to enact legislation pro-
tecting those employees who'd
been covered in, so they'll con-
tinue to enjoy not only future
Promotion privileges but also
security in the promotions they

may have won competitively
from a lower grade position im
which they were incumbents

when the covering-in occurred,

WASHINGTON, Aug. — The

The Way to Grant

Realistic Pensions

ONTANA has changed from the average compensa-

tion of the last five years to the average compen-
sation of the last three years as a basis for pension
computation. As average salaries are higher for the three
years than for the five, pensions will be increased pro-
portionately.

A bill approved by the NYC Board of Estimate, the
NYC Council, and employee organizations in NYC, in-
eluding the Civil Service Forum and the Civil Service
Technical Guild, to change the NYC basis from the last
five years to the last four, passed the Legislature. Last
March Governor Thomas E. Dewey vetoed it.

The effect of this bill would have been, in the average
ease, to base pensions on the salaraies received two
years prior, instead of two and a half years prior to
retirement. Even this improvement would have left NYC
employees, when they retire, with an allowance of half
of a low standard of living, in the normal case of retire-

ment on half pay. Instead of offering too much the bill
offered too little.

The Legislature should enact bills for NYC, and for
other jurisdictions in the State, based on a three-year
average, in recognition of reduced purchasing power of
the dollar, as Montana has done, and the Governor should
sign them.

Public Employees
Get Angry Over Pay

UBLIC employees are beginning to make voters|———

at large conscious of the disastrously low wage

scales that prevail so widely, contrasted with those in
private industry.

Public employees are prohibited by regulation or law
from going on strike, but in the past couple of years some
groups have gone on strike, law or no law, while others
have resorted to the slowdown and mass absences on the
ground of “‘illness’’, Redress of grievances resulted. There
is growing proof that public employees are being
driven from their traditional conservatism to a more mili-
tant course, not necessarily the strike. Sheer desperation
accounts for this trend. Public officials must heed and
meet the issue by paying public employees what they
deserve.

Personnel Ceiling
Reduces Service

HE personnel ceiling jammed through Congress will

do the country no good, It undermines management
and adversely affects employeg morale. It means 10 per
cent less service to the public in non-defense agencies.
These sweeping rules of administration that emanate
from Congress are full of danger, =

The new law will have repercussions that Congress
probably didn’t anticipate, Employees thinking of resign-
ing from a non-defense agency obligingly would tranfer
fo a defense agency, then resign the new job, That would
permit the agency for which they formerly. worked to fill

Hiueix old job. | Hn ,

AN ALL-AROUND HELP
Editor, The LEADER:

I am a@ supervising janitor at
80 Centre Street, NYC, the State
Office Building, over maintenance
employees, *

Our department issued jackets
and uniforms so that our employ-
ees would be distinguished from
strangers entering offices. Also, the
uniforms protect the health of our
employees whenever they have to
go outside the building during
adverse weather conditions,

The uniforms help office em-
ployees to recognize the mainten-
‘ance employees without any em-
barrassment whenever the main-
tenance men have to remove any
office equipment.

ECONOMIC NECESSITY
CATCHING UP WITH THEORY

Editor, The LEADER.

I thoroughly agree with your
editorial statement that minimum
requirements for entering exams
for public jobs have been growing
stiffer and stiffer, and that more
emphasis should be put on the
exam itself. In that way the base
of competition is broadened, and
persons who would make excellent
public employees are not frozen
out of exams for what sometimes
appears to me to be unsubstantial
reasons,

Why must one's experience al-
ways be “progressively” respon-
sible? If one works for a small
organization, he may well come in
at the top job in his category, and
there is no “progress” to be made
in responsibility. Why does the
number of employees one super-
vises have critical values?

Competition from Industry

A nephew who had some
trouble getting passing grades at
school could get a job supervising
more emplo;

yees in a corporation
headed by his uncle than could a
stranger who stood at the top of
his class,

‘The advancing salary scales in
private industry are ing it
harder for government to fill jobs
with highly competent employees,
Watch and you'll see that the
minimum requirements will go

civil service law didn’t do, How-
ever, what should be done is to
raise pay to respectable levels, for
public employees.

Do you suppose, incidentally,
that the public has the least no-

our loyal postal workers?

TWU Police
Union Trial
To Be Rushed

Supreme Court Justice Charles
D. Breitel has assured the Trans-

he agrees there should be an early)
trial of the dispute over the pow-|

P, Monaghan to prohibit members
of the uniformed force from join-
ing a union that meets with the
disfavor of the department head.

The TWU's application for a
temporary injunction was denied
by Justice Breitel, who also stated
that review of law cases shows
that department heads have been
invariably upheld by the courts
in prohibiting membership in un-
ions where a conflict of obligation
may arise, The TWU knew about
‘these cases and will attempt to
convince the trial judge that the
reactionary polices of the other
states should not be followed by
the progressive Empire State, said

Harry Marsh Aids
ECA in Philippines

Harry W. Marsh, former _presi-
dent of the NYC Civil Service
Commission, is serving as @ con-
sultant on civil service matters to
the Economic Co-operation Ad-
ministration mission to the Re-

Public of the Philippines,

down. Economic law will do what |

tion of how small is the pay of|

requires, but there are other as-
pects of severity in civil service
that are more important, and
which you didn’t even mention,

If you apply for two U. 8.
exams, and there is some small
discrepancy between your exper-
jence claiins, you will get a cold,
suspicious eye that makes you feel
that you've committed a grievous
offense. Actually, anybody can be
guilty of such discrepancy, espe-
cially if the applications are made
years apart.

The Cold Reality

The policy of clearing out
riff-raff is good, but what hap-
pens in reality? Somebody who
committed some small offense in
his youth, for which he was
punished, doesn’t want the fact
known to his department. So he
resigns. He knows that, though
what he committed was no seri-
ous wrong, and though he’s lived
an honorable life for a decade or
more, that the cold eye will be di-
rected at him, he'll be suspected
whenever anything's missing, any-

body has smuggled anything in or |

out, anybody's pocket ir picked, or
any department record altered.
His life will be made miserable.

Government has the strictest
severity in such matters, Private
industry takes a more sympathe-
tic view. I don't suggest coddling
offenders, but I don't like to see
them suffer unnece: ily, years
after they've done
trivially wrong.

A friend of mine was dented
@ $6,800 public job because no
bonding company would go on
his bond. He'd been found NOT
GUILTY of having hidden a
bottle of whiskey in his garage
during the inquisition days of
Prohibition. This denial is not
government's fault but it shows
how rough life can be for the
innocent, as well as the guitly.

Government, as an_ employer,
should show more heart and
guide itself more by the chari-
table teachings of the Bible than

v. 8. BUILDING Wé WORKERS:
FIGHT DISMISSAL PLAN
Editor, The LEADER:

In anticipation of U. S. appro«
priation cuts, General Services
Administration has given dismissal
notices, effective August 31, te
thousands of custodial workers,
| GSA has also announced a policy

of having government buildings
cleaned three nights a week in=
stead of the present five nights.

Custodial workers with up to 20
years of government service are
affected. Many are the sole sup-
port of families. Most have no
savings, since take-home pay is
as low as $30 a week. As federal
workers, they will not receive un-
employment insurance.

GSA was understaffed before
this order. If this cut goes
| through, federal employees will be
forced to work in filthy and un-
healthy places. Government prope
erty will deteriorate from neglect,

In view of the closeness of the
dismissal date, immediate action
is needed. All readers are urged
to call upon President Truman to
|stop these dismissals,

To get a bill passed, some Con-

answered that the concensus of

to write to their Congreemen and
ask them to introduce such a bil.

How Appointments Are Made

Mr. Weissberg,
former Dopufy As-
sistant NYC Cor-
tion
ond outhor of the
"Civil Serv-
ice Rights," con-
tributes frequently
to the Civil Serv-
jee LEADER.

Counsel |

| The Civil Service Law provides
| that

appointing officers shall ape
point persons to civil service poe
| sitions only in accordance with
t law and the applicable civil
rvice rules. Persons appointed
ary to the Civil, Service Law
and rules have no claim for coi
pensation nst the covernment,
but have im against t

the appointment is the exercise} 1f there is no appropriate eli-
of the appointing officer's own| gible list when appointments need

|may delegate to subording

point. But the appointing of)

the|
function of interviewing the ap-
plicant, notifying him of the ap-

{pointment and assigning him to
duty.

Generally, the appointment of a
civil service employee need not be
in writing. But the better practice
is to make appointinents in writ-
ing, stating the title, the compen-
sation and the tenure, namely
whether it {s temporary, provi-
sional, probationary or permanent,
thus avoiding possible disputes as
to the nature or terms of the ep-
Pointment, However, every civil
service employee, upon appoin'
ment must take and file an oat
to suport and defend the Consti-
tution and to discharge his duties
faithfully, The failure to take and
file such oath terminates the em-
ployment and deprives the em~-
ployee of his compensation until
the oath shall be taken and filed.
Can't Delegate Appointing Power

Subordinates have no power to
make an appointment subject to
later ratification or aproval by the
appointing officer, The seme is
true where an appointment re-
quires the approval of a Civil
Service Commission, as in the
ease of provisional or exempt ap-
pointments, In such cases the ap-
pointment cannot take effect until

after the required approval has

| Civil Service Commission for pro-
visional appointment until an eli
gible list is established and an ap=
polntment is made therefrom, A
provisional appointment does not
take effect until after such nomi
nee's qualifications have been ap>
proved by the Civil Service Come
mission, A provisional appoint-
ment may not continue beyond
nine months in all, nor beyond 20
days after the promulgation of the
eligible list, unless the State Civil
Service Commission approves an
extension resolution.
Substitute Lists

Civil Service Commissions have
the power to decide whether an
eligible list is appropriate for cer-
tification and appointment of the
persons thereon to a particular
position. The appropriateness of
an eligible list depends upon the
similarity or relation of the quall-
fications, duties, compensation and
examination for the position to be
flilled, as compared with those
prescribed for the persons exam-
ined whose names appear on the

eligible list. Generally, only one
eligible list can be me nearly
appropriate for filling vacancies in

& position, particularly whére ad~
ditional tests must be administered
to persons on another eligible list
to determine their ability to per-
form the duties of the position
being filled

U.S. Student Aid
Test Opens in Fail

‘The U. 8. Civil Service Commis-
sion announced that it. first large
exam in the fall series will be for
student ald in scientific jobs, held
on a nation-wide basis.

‘The Second Regional Office, with
Jurisdiction over New York and
New Jersey, will open the test the
same time as the other regional
offices. The papers will be mass-
rated, probably in January.

The register will be established
as rapidiy as possible.

The exam will be,open to stu-
dents half or_ three-quarters
through college. They may take
jobs during the summer and get
a leave of absence to return to
college, After they are graduated,

they go on the regular Federal
rolls as full-time employees,
Women Get a Break

The jobs are those of Junior
scientist and engineer,

One U. 5S. official was asked
whether he thought that the draft
would seriously affect the response
or acceptances.

“We're hoping that not all the
candidates will be boys,” he re-
plied.

‘Thus an excellent opportunity
will exist for girls who have had
college training in sciences, Other
than college students may apply,
also, both men and women. The
exam, held annually, is extremely
popular. About 30,000 candidates
are expected this year,

The maximum age limit of 62
years is being lifted for appli-
cants wanting geologist positions
|paying from $4,600 to $7,600 a
year. Because of a shortage of
qualified persons to fill some de-
fense jobs, the Commission has
had to discard the customary age
limits for certain types of work.
The examination affected by this
latest order covers 11 specialized
fields of geology.

The Commission is also open-
ing the examination for these
geologist jobs to graduate students
to complete, within six

requirements for qualifications
Students otherwise qualified may
receive provisional appointments,
and enter on regular duty imme~
diately after completing all grad-

Applications will be accepted sel

jobs in Washington to 16.

UFOA Studies Legal Aspects
Of Affiliating with TWU

‘The Uniformed Fire Officers
Association of NYC announced

that its executive board was study- | himself,

ing legal and other aspects of
Possible affiliation with the Trans-
port Workers Union. A resolution
to refer to all the members, for
® vote, the proposal to affiliate
was lost temporarily at a special
membership meeting, held on
August 16 at the Hotel Martinin-
que. A motion to table the reso-
lution won, 93 to 90.

The UPOA statement said that
the move for a possible switch
from the American Federation of
Labor and the National Associa-
tion of Firefighters, AFL, with
which it is affiliated, stemmed
from grievances about pay,

“Need for drastic action,” said
the UFOA, “is the culmination of
months of unsuccessful conserva-
tive efforts to convince the City
Administration of the necessity
to increase the salaries of fire
officers.”

Michael J, Quill, president of
the TWU, will be asked whether
the UFOA could be accepted into
the CIO union under the no-raid-
ing agreement.

Deputy Chiefs’ Bonus

The UFOA reported the fight
for an equal bonus for 40 Deputy
Chiefs who received only $50 a
year instead of the $250 has not
ended. In 1939 a Battalion Chief
who successfully passed the pro-
motion examination and gained
the rank of Deputy Chief earned
an increase in salary of 19%;
today that differential has fallen
closer to 11%, the UFOA said.

It was agreed that the execu-
tive board should continue con-
ferences with the Police and other
City departments with a view to
general election on tying in sala~

$4. | Ties with the cost-of-living index,
and uniting employees for such | q,

ogg action as necessary at the
polls.

The attitude of the members at
the special meeting left no doubt
that the pay problem would be
Presented again at the regular
meeting of the UFOA In Septem-
ber, the UPOA added.

Meanwhile other groups are be-
| coming less conservative or more
| radical, The Sanitation Men's Lo-
|eal 111-A is one, Its recent
picketing was conducted on
@ weekly basis, finally, and then
suspended, after negotiations with
City officials were oegun. The lo-
cal submitted a plan which it said
would permit the 40-hour, five-
day week at no extra cost to the
City. Budget Director Thomas J.
Patterson {s studying the plan.

The local is a member of the
Bullding Service Employees In-
ternational Union.

Direct action is not entirely new
in Sanitation Department em-
Ployee grievance tactics, as mass
absences were practiced by an-
other group last year.

There was talk by employee
groups of uniting in one big effort

to get a citywide raise, Two
methods were proposed:
1, A referendum, to be put be-

fore the voters, for a salary in-
crease. This would bind the Leg-
islature, if the referendum won,

2, A request for a direct appeal
by ar dee Mesa R. Impellitteri
the Legislature, even
his sopaaranes before that body,
for additional taxing powers, so
that a general raise could be fin-
anced. Efforts to gain large in-
creased taxing power failed at the
last Legislative session.

NYC officials have not coun-
tered requests for more pay with
any outright refusal, but with the
statement that, though raises were
deserved, there was no money ob-
ta'pable. Some conferees, report-
ing back to their membership,
after attending City Hall meet-
ings, said that the idea of pay in-
creases planned for separate
groups was out, and that if and
When any increases were to be
granted, they would have to apply
citywide.

The only major NYC official to
come out in favor of a general in-
crease was Robert Moses, Con-
struction Coordinator, He men-
tioned $100,000,000 that would
likely have to be added to the next
budget for upward adjustment of
‘Salgries.

“¢ same departure from con-
servatism has marked some of
the membership of the Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association. Mr. Quill
has formed a police anion in the
TWU, granted a charter and
warns City officials that they'll
soon haye to sit down and talk
turkey to the CIO on pay, pen-
sions and other police matters.

The PBA, like the UFOA, always
has been a conservative organiza-
tion,

The Correction Officers Bene-
volent Association, another con-
servative group, has asked Mr.
Quill for a conference, though
there is a CIO union of such of-
jeers.

The Uniformed Piremen's As-
sociation, under the leadership of
its new president, Howard P.
Barry, is steering clear of Mr.
Quill, any idea of job action or
anything else it regards as an
extreme measure, It is, however,
planning a campaign to get civic
organizations, parent associations
and business groups behind a
drive to have firemen’s pay in-
creased. The public at large may
be asked to sign petitions to the
same effect,

Can Stand It No Longer

Employees in general state that
their plight has become desper-
ate, because of the sharp rise in
the cost of ving, and that the
raises must come through, if they
are to support their families and
themselves on even an extremely
modest scale. The old argument
that the City hasn't got the
money, say leaders of the em-
ployee groups, won't do any good
any more,

ering the findings of a research
projéct initiated to develop a

gated the observations of the

The LEADER has succeeded in
a copy of the letter writ-
ten_by Budget Director Thomas
J, Patterson to Jack Lutsky, legal
aide to Mayor Vincent R. Impel-
Hittert, analyzing an iners
increment bill introduced by Coun-
cilman Eric J. Treulich, The com-
plete bady of the letter follows: a
As a result of the “freezing in’
of the various cost-vi-living ad-
justments, the present mandatory
increment law is no longer ap-
licable, inasmuch as the salary
Basis of ne tig) ype Foe
the grade is $1,801 or less" is be-
Jow the lowest basic rate paid,
that of $1, Lesa o Cer shandreatad 5
graded or ungraded employees.
The intent of the present law
has been carried through by pro-
viding increment adjustments to
employees in the same manner as
originally provided for when the
aaa law was effected.

To safeguard this, the Terms
and Conditions of the Budget for
1950-51 and the new Budget for
1951-52, provide the following:
“The Budget shall continue salary
increments for grades and posi-
tions originally provided for in

existing mandatory increment
Jaws.”
Apparently, Councilman Treu-

Nich proposes this new bill in the
absence of the mandate to pay
legally such increments,

Contemplated Extension

His proposal not only continues
in effect the Intent and scope of
the present law, but contemplates
the extension of mandatory in-

pecrements to almost all grades in
the competitive service and greater
benefits to employees in the un-
graded services,

1, Mandatory increments up to
&@ maximum for employees in ser-
vice on or after September 9,
1942 rather than their limitation
of four increments which gener-
ally would bring them within $120,
of the maximum of their grade,
This area of $120 was considered | P'
for merit increase or increase
when promoted to nex! grade.

2, Changes the amount of the
increment {rom $120 to $150.

3, Mandatory increments from
the miminum to the maximum for
many grades not now provided for.
This applies for example to such
Grades as:

Present Grade range, Clerk,
Grade 4, $3,421 to $4,020; present
increment or adjustment: no man-
datory increment, but two salary
adjustments of $120 to $3,661, Pro-
posed increment range, $3,421 to
$4,020 by mandatory increments of
$150,

Proposed increment 4 ae sacri
to $5,460 by mandatory incre-
ments of $150.

This means that at least 50 more
grades where the :ninimum Is
greater than $2,351 per annum
will be given mandatory incre-
ments, These grades never bene-
fited before.

4. It establishes\a new salary
minimum for increments, The old
one “where the minimum of the
grade was $1,801 or less for the
graded services or the appointment
rate was $1,801 or less for the un-

graded service” now becomes
"$5,460 or less." The old standard
applied to usually the third grade
in a service with five grades or
the second in a service with four
grades, The proposed standard
applies even before the minimum
of the highest grade of many ser-
vices,

5. The maximum beyond which
increments could not be given is
also increased as follows:

Type of Employee, Graded.
Present law $2,400. Present prac-
tiee, $3,660. Proposed law, $5,460.

6. It provides four annual in-
ments of $150 each to employees
in titles in the Ungraded Service,
such as Elevator Operator, Auto
Engineman, Court Attendant,

All increments previously given
on or before July 1, 1951 to any
employee in the ungraded service
are not to be counted

States Backers Claims

‘The main claims of the propo-
nents of this bill are:

1. New York State and Federal
Government for their employees
have comparable increment laws
with even higher bracketed salary
employees receiving mandatory
increments.

2. The administrative and cleri-
cal employees of the Board of
Education in many of the grades
covered by this proposed bill, are

Presently covered by mandatory | This bill

increments and also receive an-
nual mandatory increments in
certain grades greater in amount
than the proposed $150, whereas
city employees under the present
law do not receive the same
treatment as these employees of
the Board of Education.

3. They claim the present law
is no longer applicable and is
antiquated in principle and not
in conformity with increment
plans endorsed by public person-
nel authorities,

4. Tt has even received endorse-
ment of certain civic bodies.

5. It eliminates favoritism and
politics involved in salary in-

TY.

6. It will aid recruitment of bet-
ter personnel and hold them,
However, many of these
ments in favor of this bill may
have considerable merit but never
the merit that either applies to or
would justify this typ» of propos-
ed mandatory increment legisla-

tion,

Tells Why He Opposes Bill

There are very cogent reasons
why this proposed bill should not
be passed. They are chiefly:

1, The City has invested over
$250,000 in the. employment of
an outside personnel to make a
study of a modern and progres-
sive “Career and Salary Plan"
for City employees. Their final re-
port is due by October ist, with
one phase of their report dealing
comprehensively with this prob-
lem. I believe the adoption of this
proposed Jaw based not on eareful
study, or evaluation of jobs on
equal pay for equa\ work but
written to satisfy employee pres-
sure and to encompass nearly all
grades would be premature,
and wasteful. No careful consid-
eration appears to have been
given to determine whether or
not it is correct, equitable, or jus-
tiflable to extend mandatory in-
crements so promiscuously and
with no controls. Moreover, this
survey covers the competitive,
non-competitive, and labor classes.
The proposed mandatory inere-
| ment bill applies to only a part of
the competitive class,

2. Such a valuable personnel in-
ducement and award as the merit
increase will no longer be effec-
tive, unless the salary of an em-
ployee is above $5,460 per annum,
because an employee will receive
the maximum within four years
whether or not he assumes any
responsibility or supervision and
even go as high as $5,460 per
annum by mandatory increments.
will reduce and even-
tually eliminate employee initia-
tive, competitiveness and resource-
fulness, It will dull or still the
effectiveness of the instrument by
which the administrator can re-
ward the r, the more in-
dustrious, the more willing, and
the more competent employee.

3. In the Compensation plan
for employees of the State of New
York, there are approximately 55
salary grades not on the
class of the position as much as
its value as a job beinz performed.
All compensation plans that have
comparable liberal increment
schegules are based on job worth.

‘This bill violates this sound
basis and principle for a compen-
sation plan. It uses a classifica-
tion plan of the City which nearly
all persons agree is obsolete and
requires an overhauling. In fact,
the City is now expanding one
quarter of a million dollars on
such a job. In other words, Mr.
Treulich's compensation plan is
a structure erected on a founda-
Hon of confusion, inequity and dis-
crepancy.

4. It provides for the top salary
grades in many services as fol-
lows:

For Clerical, Grade 5, it pro-
Poses $4,021 entrance rate plus

9 and a fraction annual manda-
tory increments of $150 to $5,460,

For Attendant, Grade 3 (in-
cludes, such titles as Attendant,
Telephone Operator, Messenger,
Janitor), it Proposes $3,421 en-
trance rate plus 13 and a fraction
annual mandatory increments of
$150 to $5,460.

No sensible, practicul or wise
compensation plan could ever be
predicated on such outiundish and
unjustifiable increment schedules.
It makes no attempt to distin-
guish between the worthy and un-
worthy, good and bad. It is a plan
that is chiefly characterized by
careless prodigality.

5. In the ungraded service al-
most three thousand employees in
such titles as Elevator Operator,
Auto Engineman, etc., will receive
four additional increments of
$150 for a total amount of $600,
regardless of whether o: not these
employees have ‘already received
the present legal number. Exam-
ples:

A. 1134 Auto Engineman who
already have received not only
their four increments plus an ad-
ditional adjustment of $120 and
an adjustment of $240 for 302
days, will be entitled Lo $600 more,
or four additional annual incre-
ments of $150 per annum. Then

this will mean at the end of four |

years hence that

600 in this title wii be receiv-
ing $4,000 to $5,000, inclusive of
$250 bonus

534 will be receiving $3,850 to
$4,000, inclusive of $256 bonus

B. Moreover, nearly 500 Eleva-
tor Operators who have reached
their maximum will be entitled to
$600 more. This will mean over
500 in this title will be receiving
four years hence at least $3,400,
inclusive of bonus,

C. Over 125 Court Attendants at
their present maximum will re-
ceive $600 more. Their salary will
be in excess of the maximum for
Patrolman, who receive $4,150, as
the allotment of four additional
increments of $150 will bring
Court Attendant rates to $4,320
or better, They will even exceed
the maximum permitted for their
supervisors, The Assistant Court
Clerk who would be stopped at
$4,020.

D. These are only examples of
the discrepancies, bases for griev-
ances and inequities that will be

created by the provision proposed |

for the ungraded class.
‘The proposed bill will in ef-
fect eliminate increases for merit-!

orlous service or high personal
achievement.

compensation plan for
employees of the State of New
York and the increment sched-
ules of the Board 0° Education
are both controlled by the require-
ment of at least satisfactory ser-
vice by individual employees to
merit_an increment.

8. The establishment of the
maximum of $5,460 az a top for
increments will create*serious ad-
ministrative problems based on
present salary scales for super-
visors, foreman, and inc more de-
serving employees

9. This report outlives general
objections with only a few of
many examples where the existing
inequities will be greaily miulti-
plied. This proposed bill proposes
to establish a wage machinery
with no basis on wages for com-
Parable work in other jurisdiction
or in private industry, When it
was first introduced it provided
one set of standards and in a
little over a month it was amend-
ed to propose even another set,

I favor a compensation plan
that is based on equal pay for
equal work and a system of in-
crements predicated on such an
evaluation. Even the increment
and adjustment plan presently in
operation for City employees is
| more advantageous to the City, as

it provides increment to lower
jgrades where individual merit or
jresponsibility is not too distin-

| guishable, adjustments to decrease
inequities and merit increases
|generally to the deserving.
Recommends Disapproval
Tt is impossible to estimate the
actual cost in dollars and cents,
but it will be costly. It will be
even more costly .in paying many
personnel to their maximum

69 Right Answers Pass
The Commission announced

that each of the questions will
count 100/99, or 1.0101, If any-
body got all the questions right
he'd get, technically, 99.9999, but
would be accorded 100 If he got
70 right, out of the original 100,
he won't miss out because he an-
swered the deleted question cor-
rectly according to the tentative
key answer, With 69 correct ques~
tions his earned score would be
69,6969, and under a Commission
tule, those who attain 69.1 are
passed, But those who got 68 ques~
tions right out of the new 99 to-
tal, would have a score of 68.6868
and flunk.

The exam was taken by 5,714
candidates and the nutaber of let-
ters of protest was about 1,400.
Candidates, even those who passed
well up on the list, sald that it
was a tough exam.

basis of their effect on his candi-

dacy,

Roughly, the primaries seem to
have produced both good and bad
for Halley.

First for the good.

‘The gathering feud between
Charles Sullivan and Jim Roe has
split open Democratic ranks in
Queens. Sullivan's independent
candidacy for District Attorney
gives Halley his best break since
the nomination, and Sullivan will
steam things up no matter who
wins the D. A. job. However Sul-
Mvan makes out, Halley is
bound to gain. Should the Lib-
erals endorse Sullivan — and they
would do that by nominating their
present candidate, Sol Marcus, for
the judiciary Halley gets an
important ally and many addi-
tional campaign slogan,

Independence In Queens

Political independence, remem- |
ber, seems more indigenous to
Queens than to any of her sister
boroughs. Young people and
home-owners always tend to be|
independents — and Queens has |
more than her share of both|
groups. Queens, with hundreds of |
civic groups and with hordes of
new voters entering their names
each year on her election rolls, |
does not have the strongly en-|
trenched politicos found in Man-
hattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, and
Staten Island.

dim Roe learned this only last
election. He started the petitions
for Impellitteri to get the Demo-

cratic nomination, then found
that the fire he had started
wouldn't quench, and he was

never able to get much enthusi-
asm for the candidacy of Judge
Pecora. People smart politic-
ally realize that wise Jim Roe, far

more troubled than his fellow-
leaders in the other counties, does
a bang-up job in Queens, even

though he may not always make
the showing that the Democrats
record in some of the other bor-
oughs, |

With Sullivan kicking up an-
other of these periodic Queens po-
litical rumpuses, most anything
can happen come November 6. The
Democratic split can certainly do
no good for Joe Sharkey, despite
his winning ways and long record
of making friends. While Queens
normally would go for a Sharkey,
this time the home-town boy
Henry Latham, will probably
the conservative, old-line vote,
and his campaign bullets will
probably be aimed more at Shark-

ey than at Ha it up —
and it looks chances
in Queens, with the entente with |
Sullivan are considerably bright-

er than before.

Matter of Ammunition

‘The other aspect of the prim- |

aries spells a mark against Hal-|

ley's chances, His stock in trade
of course has been corruption in
government, and the primaries
indicate a falling off in interest in
that topic that may mean that
the people are no longer as re
bellious as they scemed last |
spring. In Manhattan, where so- |
called “Costelloism” had been |
pushed into the primary cam-|
paign, only 2 per cent of the reg- |
istered Democrats took the trouble |
to go to the polls, A hot summer |
you may say. But it was just as
hot and Just as much the summer |
out in Suffolk County, where the |
ding-dong Macy-Dewey _ battle,
fought out along old-fashioned |
name-calling lines, brought out|
the voters sufficiently to unseat |
the boss of twenty-five years,

Interest in the corruption {s-
sue, which came up like thunder |
last spring and made national |
figures of Kefauver and Halley,
may be on the wane. If it is, Hal:
ley will of course suffer. Alex Rose, |
the astute and brilliant tactician
of the Liberal Party, may switch
the Halley fire to the sales tax |
he feels victory can be won in
‘The Liberals have |
opposed the sales tax all along,
and they rightly sense that to the
average citizen — and voter —
® heavy sales tax is more of a
personal, everyday calamity than
impersonal corruption, no matter
how serious,

Possibilities

Rose is a new example, Inci-
dentally, of just how strange po-
litical bed-fellows can be. Last
year, in vigorously supporting
Pecora, he was working close with
Manhattan Democratic Boss De-
Sapio. Today, though he probably
thinks as little of Impellitteri as
ever, he now finds himself almost
in constant contact with many of
Impellitteri’s faithful campaign
workers of last year, That sit
tion may become even more acute
as the weeks toward November 6
unfold.

While DeSapio’s show
strength last Tuesday means that
Joe Sharkey should gain from in-
creased Democratic party
the results are not 100 per cent
to his benefit. Por Bob Blaikie
seems determined to move in other
directed now that he has come a-
| cropper in his attempt to unhorse
| DeSapio. Biaikie's firt post-prim-

ary statement threw the ball right | But maybe he

ack to Impellitteri. That could

be followed by an open declara-| charges up h

tion by Blaikie for Halley, whom
he may look upon as another
P.DR. Jr. Such a move would
bring support to Halley from right
inside the Manhattan Democratic
party structure,
Voters Are Fickle

The Halley candidacy, in other
words, continues to spice the New |
York political situation, It is al-
way so in politics — that the in-
dependents, the Willkies, the La-
Follettes, the Impellitteris, supply
the interest in what is normally

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER

U.S. Pay Raises Nearer;
Senate and House Vote
Is Next as Bills Advance

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27 — The
House Committee on Post Office
and Civil Service formally reported
out the two pay increase bills,
providing for a flat amount of
$400 and 20 cents an hour for tem-
porary workers.

One bill applies to the classified
workers, the other to the postal
group, but the provisions are the
same, except that the postal bill
calls for the elimination of the
lowest two grades, This gives an
added boost in pay to some em-
ployees, particularly veterans,

The House Committee had or-
ally approved the bills and the
formality of reporting them out
followed the actual printing of
the measures.

In the House the bills are: Clas-
sified employees, H, R. 339; postal
workers, H. R. 244.

Next Move

The next move is to get the bills
out of the Rules Committee. The
House adjourned until September
12, and it is expected that the
bills will be brought to the floor
for a vote soon thereafter, Since
they contain provisions for in-
creases retroactive to July 1 last,
the particular day on which they
are enacted is not considered im-
portant, Every effort is being
made by employee organizations
to have the retroactive provision
retained.

In the Senate a different pay
bill, voted out by the Senate Com-
mittee on Post Office and Civil
Service, also awaits a vote on the
floor, Efforts will be made by
employee groups to have a Senate
call up the pay bills, and if there
is no objection by any Senator,
action on them would follow at
once.

In the Senate the bills are:
Classified employees, 8. 662, postal
group, 5.

the final outcome of the
bill, although admitting that the
stand that the Truman Adminis-
tration will finally take is still in
doubt.

“The outlook, judging from the
sentiment expressed in Congress,
is that the Representatives would
be only too happy to have an ap-
portunity te vote for the postal
bill,” he said. “The bill should go
over fast.”

Representatives of classified em-
pPloyees had the same feeling about
the bill that would affect them,

Truman a Puzzle

The attitude that President
Truman would take on any bill
for a flat increase is not known,
especially as he spoke up, prior to
the action of the two committees,
in favor of a 7 per cent increase,
Chairman Robert Ramspeck of the
U, 8, Civil Service Commission has
been taking the same stand, evi-
dently as the President's spokes-
man The Senate committee voted
8.8 per cent. The House went for
the flat amount of $400. That
amout would represent various
percentages, some of them 10 per
cent or more.

The idea behind a percentage
plan is to give employees in the
higher brackets a proportionate
raise, instead of shrinking the dif-
ferential between grades, which
has been the effect of the flat in-
creases voted in the past. The ar-
gument for the flat amounts is
that the little fellow needs a break
now more than ever.

Support from Senators

The Senate's dates for calendar
calls are every two weeks. As the
Senate remains in session, em-
ployees will try to get the pay
bills brought up for a floor vol
especially as they have receiv
assurances from many Senators
that they will vote for the bill.

Because of the difference be-
tween the Senate and House bills,
however, the whole pay increase
project will have to go before a
conference committee, Whether
the percentage or the flat amount
will win out, nobody would proph-
esy, but it is expected that Presi-
dent Truman will assert himself
again after the vote, as he did
just prior to the two committees’
diverse action. The present indica-
tion is that the Conferees would
go along with an agreed compro-
mise plan, rather than follow the
President's preference, should
there be a difference. Then the
question remains whether the
President would sign the bill; but
no pay increase bill has been ve-
toed since Coolidge’s day, and that
veto was based on technical con-
siderations.

The figures on cost of raises
for classified employees have been
submitted by the Commission to

both Houses of Congress, The
House Committee’s request to
Postmaster General Jesse M.

Donaldson for the estimated cost
of the proposed postal raise did
not bring any response, The Rules

Employees

In Downgraded Jobs
Won't Have Their Pay Cut

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27—Un-
der a new regulation, the U. 5S.
Civil Service Commission has au-
thorized Federal agencies to per-
mit an employee holding @ post-
tion which is placed in a lower
grade of the Classification Act of
1949 to retain, under certain con-
ditions, the same salary that he
was receiving.

The conditions are:

() that the ‘employee must
have held the position on the
effective date of the Classification
Act, October 28, 1949, and

(2) that he must remain in
the same position,

Previously, agencies were re-
quired to set salaries for em-
ployees in down-graded positions
to correspond with pay steps of
the lower grade, If an employee
had been in his former grade a

number

{ years and bad there-

fore worked up to one of the
higher pay steps of the grade, hi
salary had to be reduced because
it was above the maximum of the
lower grade

To Whom It Applies
The Commissions new authori-

zation applies only to employees
in positions which are downgrad-
ed from now on, not to those
which have previously been placed
in a lower grade. It is not manda-
tory on the part of the agencies
to retain the same salaries for
employees in downgraded posi-
tions; they may still reduce the
employees’ salaries to correspond
with pay rates of the lower grade
if they so desire,

It is expected that a consider-
able number of Federal employees
will be benefited by the new au-
thorigation during the next year
or so, During the course of time,
however, as more and more em-
ployees shift positions — leaving
those they held on October 28,
1949 and thereby becoming in-
ible for benefits — the num-
of joy affected will
jgradUally decrease.
| A draft of the new regulations
| Was submitted to the Comptroller

postal, Committee, however, has a policy

of not reporting out a bill until
the estimated cost is submitted,
and postal employees are‘ impor-
tuning the Postmaster General to
get the figures into the commit-
tee’s hands without further delay.
