“Emergency ’’ Subway
Vacancies to Be Filled
From “Special Lists”

By BURN MURPHEY

A sweeping new policy for the filling of “emergency” vacancies in the Board of Trans-
portation which are caused by illness or other reasons was approved last week by the
Municipal Civil Service Commission. The Commission adopted a resolution this week
which provides for the filling of such vacancies from ecial lists” set up in advance, The

a title which is comparable to the
one in which he has been working,
or, in some cases, to a lower title,
at the same salary.

In adopting its resolution, the
Civil Service Commission declared:
“The economical and proper opera-
tion of the New York City Transit
System requires a certain flexibility
in the assignment of persoanel to fill
temporary vacancies caused by ill-
ness and other temporary emergency
situations in train operations and
... the filling of these temporary
vacancies by repeated process of
certification and appointment with
ultimate demotion is time consuming
and unsatisfactory.”

Special List

To avoid this headache, the Com-
mission in the future will set up
“special lists” from which eligibles
may be provisionally appointed.
Appointees will serve intermittently,
They
will not be allowed to serve more
than 150 days in any one year,

When eligible lists are in existence
for various titles, the Board of
Transportation will notify the Civil
Service Commission of the titles for
which “special lists” are necessary,
and include the approximate number
of eligibles required on each list.

The certification bureau will then
prepare the “special lists” for each
title, taking the top ranking eligibles
on the promotion list for the title.

When there is no eligible list for a
title, the Board of Transportation
will furnish the Commission with a
list of employees containing the re-
quired number of names selected
from employ with the highest
seniority rati

Widespread Resentment In
Sanitation Dept. Concerning
Purchase of Uniforms

By MAXWELL LEHMAN

In last week’s issue, Tue Leaver recorded a stream of complaints from men in the Sani-
tation Department to the effect that they are being compelled to purchase overcoats, whether
or not they require them; that they must pay down a substantial deposit, whether or not
they can afford to do so; that they can purchase these overcoats from but one concern, Wil-|
liam Isaac’s and Sons at 88 Bowery; that they are threatened with suspension from the job

Too Many Women?

‘Those who believe there are so many more women working in the
federal service in Washington than men should take a look at the latest
semi-annual statistical report issued by the U. S. Civil Service Com-
mission. The report explodes the belief that the Government service
“is full of women employees.”

On June 30, the report reveals, there were 53,038 women and 80,607
men working here in the Government,

Outside the District the percentage of male employees was even
greater, The figures are 736,003 men and 133,172 women.

Fact is, women made a larger percentage increase than men during
the six months ended June 30. The number of women increased 12.4

per cent and men only 9.6 per cent,

Federal employees on June 30 numbered 1,002,820, an increase of
70,515 over the previous six months. Making the greatest gains were
defense purposes at that time. Since then another 40,000 have been
Panuma Canal, 4,449, and Civil Service Commission, 951.

The report revealed that not more than 40,000 had been hired for
defense purposes at that time. Since then another 40,000 has been
placed on the pay rolls.

And the Commission, estimating conservatively, as it always does,
predicts that 120,000 new employees will be added between now and
June 30, 1941

This figure includes some 65,000 Navy Yard employees and at least
that number who are being hired by War to train conscriptees, make
guns and munitions in the arsenals, and to build new bases and train-
ing sites,

Get a Xmas

Job in the Post Office

(Exclusive)

“Y’d like a temporary job in the Post Office for the Christmas rush. Can I get it? How?
These are questions which the Post Office Department attempted to answer last week
in a special notice to postmasters.

The notice said:

Competent and deserving men and
women on the civil-service register
of eligibles, who are unemployed
and have dependents, should be
given first consideration in employ-
ing extra help for Christmas. Sec-
‘ond choice goes to those applicants,
in order of their necessitous circum-
stances, who have the required abil-
ity, are unemployed, and have de-
pendents to support. The Post Office |
Department disapproves of the em-|
ployment of close relatives of post-
office employees unless these rela-
tives are unemployed and haye fami-
lies or dependents.

Requirements

However, postmasters are _In-
structed to conform to this program

to secure persons who are physically

vere strain of temporary Christmas

All regular forces of the Post
Office, says Washington, must be
utilized to the fullest extent be-
fore substitutes are employed, and
the substitutes go on the job only
they are actually needed—not be-

Provisionals to Go

All provisionals- still working as
Junior Examiners of State Expendi-
tures, Department of Audit and Con-
trol, will be dismissed by November
1, according to Frederick Hollowell,
secretary to Comptroller Tremaine.

Whether more jobs will be filled
from the list depends on the decision
of the Budget Director on a request
for 34 lines in this title. Twenty-
five appointments have already been
made from the two-month-old list,
reaching down to No. 33; one has
resigned,

Originally 97 provisionals worked
as Junior Examiners, Fifty were
let out by the time the 20-day pe-
riod had expired, and others have
been dismissed on a stagger system
since. Only half a dozen remain.

Tasks for the Next
President

Ww don't know who will be elected next Tuesday.

But whoever gains office must remember

that the proper functioning of American
government depends in good measure on the ability
Soe anokae of the people who really run its day-to-day
affairs.

This means that the next President of the United
States, whether Roosevelt or Willkie, must pay more
than idle lip-service to the party platforms dealing
with Civil Servic It means that the merit” system
must be enlarged and extended.

Specifically, these are the immediate tasks before the
next President of the United States and the men who
work with him:

1, Passage of the Ramspeck bill, which would bring
some 150,000 U. S. jobs under Civil Service.

2. Protection of the rights of government employees
who may be conscripted.

3. Guarantee that every draftée may take any Civil
Service exam for which he is qualified,

More Cops Needed

W* doesn’t the city appoint new Patrolmen?

The only argument advanced to date against

appointments was that of Commissioner
Valentine. He said that the uncertainty of the draft
and the possibility that the city might have to pay the
difference in salary of drafted rookies would block
appointments, This argument doesn’t stand up, be-
cause within the last few weeks, and since Valentine's
statement, the city has appointed a number of men
as Special Patrolmen in the Tunnel Authority. And
they were appointed at $1,800, against the $1,200
rookie cops would be paid.

This seems extremely unfair, The men on the
Special Patrolman list are those who received lower
marks than others on the regular Patrolman list. The
frequent complaints from eligibles on the P, D. list that
they aren't being treated fairly, is entirely true. New
York City needs more cops. There is no excuse for the
delay in appointing them!

We Suggest - - -

In this department, Tue LeapEer each week includes
suggestions which are important to Civil Service
employees, eligibles, and those seeking to enter the
government service, Readers with suggestions of their
own are invited to submit them to the editors,

THAT MEN AND WOMEN who have had experi-
ence as officials or field representatives of labor unions
and trade associations apply for the U. S. job of Field
Representative in the Department of Labor, An ex-
amination for four grades of this position is now open.

THAT MEN who expect to take the city Fireman's
exam next spring brush up on the rules and regula-
tions covering city departments, their methods of
operating, and, in general, familiarize themselves with
municipal government,

THAT STATE EMPLOYEES begin girding now for
another fight to preserve Feld-Hamilton increments,
threatened because of the additional cost to the State
inyolved in paying draftees’ salaries,

THAT PERSONS who hesitate to file for exams be-
cause they think the competition will be too great,
file anyway, In recent weeks, filing on all Civil Serv-
ice tests has fallen off, and in some cases the require-
ments have even been lowered, thus increasing the
chances of those who do apply.

THAT SANITATION MEN who object to some, of
the practices by Which they have been victimized—
whether within or outside the Department—communi-
cate with Tue Leaver, All correspondence will be held
in strict confidence,

THAT PROSPECTIVE DRAFTEES ask their legis-
ors to fight for the right of conscripts te take Civil
ice exams while training.

Howard
Palfrey
Jones

“Government is like any other
human enterprise .. .”

VEN IF Howard Palfrey
E Jones had known years
ago that some day he was
to be State Civil Service Commis-
sioner, he could not have pre-
pared himself more adequately.
When he joined the State Com-
mission as the Republican mem-
ber in May of 1939, he brought
along with him years of experi-
ence as newspaperman, editor,
educator, government expert.

He started as a newspaperman
—a good one—rising to the edi-
torship of a string of papers in
the mid-West. Then, just as
with many other topnotch mem~-
bers of the fourth estate, he dis-
covered that the field in which
he was writing had become more
interesting than the writing
itself,

The post of public relations
secretary of the National Munici-
pal League, foremost organiza-
tion of municipal government
improvement in the country, first
welded his interests. At the time
of his appointment to the State
Commission, he was secretary
and executive director of the
League, editor of its vital month-
ly National Municipal Review,
and head of its consultant ser-
vice.

During these same 15 years he
was teaching the problems of
government at the nation’s ace
journalism schools.

Through these various facets,
the imprint of Howard Jones is
found today on the governments
of progressive cities throughout
the country, while many of our
younger newspapermen thank
him for stirring their concern
with government.

“Reformers

While Jones has worked with
many cities and states in the im-
provement of their governments,
he detests the word reformer.

“Government is like any other
human enterprise,” he says.
“There are certain principles of
administration which if intelli-
gently applied will produce sound
results.” The development of these
sound principles has challenged
his interest for many years.

He does not look on Civil Ser-
vice as primarily a fence to keep

fe:

the spoilsmen out of government,
but 4s an important staff func-
tion which must be carried on in
any large organization, whether
business or government,

“The business of a personnel
agency is to help management,
not hinder it,” he says. ‘This
means establishing procedures
which in the realm of employ-
ment sift the chaff from the
wheat and give the department
head a selection of the best per-
sons available for the jobs. It
means in the realm of govern-
ment service, the establishment
of conditions of work that pro-
vide an incentive for employees
to do their best. The public is
entitled to the best talent avail-
able in running the community’s
business. It is the job of the
civil service department to see
that the government gets such
talent and keeps it.”

“The State of New York and its
subdivisions represent the second
largest employment agency in
the United States,” he explains,
“the federal government being
the first. Millions of dollars may
be saved or wasted, depending on
the personnel selected. Much
more important, our services to
our fellow human beings will be
well run or badly run. If you
have a relative or friend in a
State institution, you know what
this means.”

An Old Friend

To New York State’s govern-
ment, the appointment of How-
ard Jones to the State Civil Ser-
vice Commission heralded the re~
turn of an old friend. From
1932-38 he was on the research

Sirs:I and most of the employees
of the New York City Housing Au-
thority have been reading ‘THs
L&apeR steadily since its inceptio

Your treatment of Mr. Rhei
stein's testimony was most disap~
pointing. Here is the testimony of
a responsible individual, formerly
Commissioner of Housing and
Building and head of the Hoysing
Authority, to the effect that, at his
request and with the Mayor's ap-
proval, Paul Kern manipulated the
Civil ‘Service list for Building

Manager so as to make it possible
for Mr, Rheinstein to retain three
provisional managers. He names
the men, ‘They are;

Roger W. Flood, salary $3,800.

Frank B. Dormah, salary $4,200,

Ann Dingledine, salary $3,750.

His testimony stands unrefuted
so far, and it is further corrob~
orated’ by the fact that though
there is a certified list for manager
in existence (with two names still
on it) these provisionals are. still
in their jobs which they have
been holding illegally for over two
years,

This evidence points toa flagrant

violation of the civil service laws
and a cynical disregard for the
rights of persons who sweat to
take civil service examinations and
pay for the privilege to file appli-
cations, And what do you do with
it? Hide it in a corner of your
paper, page 3, so that it could
hardly be found and then you
don’t even set forth the facts, "We
will reserve further decision un=
til we see whether you ‘will print

From the outset, Tue Leaver has
made it a policy to refrain from
repeating the news which has
been adequately covered in the
daily papers, Merely to have run
the news about Mr. Rheinstein’s
testimony, which had been blazoned
over the Jront pages of every pa=
per in town, would not, we feel,
have been of great service to our
readers—certainly not when the
same amount of space could be de~
voted to material which had not
appeared in the daily papers, and
which most readers could find no-
where else, This policy has
Duided our coverage of the Couns

FIRE BELLS

By JAMES DENNIS

Mayor LaGuardia in commenting on
the mission said: “These men are
being assigned to active duty to ob-
tain experience and information in
fire-fighting in war time under
aerial bombing conditions. We know
that bombing has created a real fire-
fighting problem and the difference
between the problems of war time
and other times require actual con-
tact and observation.”

The three firemen will stay in the
British capitol for six months, When
they return with a report of their
experiences, it will be made avail-
able to all U.S. Fire Departments.

“It is essential to face squarely

the important issue of teacher tenure

can be determined by the records of
the present incumbents or by the

hysteria elect to public office those
who would rob the child of its birth-

The opportunist who uses the pres-

propriations is the office-seeker who
must be feared.

The type and quality of education
given to our youth today will deter-
mine the progress of our nation to-
morrow.

legislature, There was, of course, no
compulsion to answer any or all of
the questions the Joint Committee
asked. A great many of the candi-
dates, however, did answer, and the
Joint Committee will distribute these
answers to you. You will have the
opportunity to examine just what the
candidates from your district have
to say,

If you do not find an answer from
those seeking office in your district, I
would suggest that you call on the
candidates yourself and ask the ques-
tions which seem most important to
you. A person seeking office must
have some views on matters he will
be asked to vote on, If he seeks your
vote he should be able to state his
platform.

Intelligent voters
blindly,

We have an alert electorate in this
city—no one is elected by accident.

By next Tuesday night the WILL
of the people will be known.

May the best men win.

Teachers Quiz
Candidates

The Joint Committee of Teachers
Organizations announced the results
last week of a-questionaire sent out
to candidates for the State Legisla-
ture, The Committee queried the
candidates on the following:

1) Whether they would vote to
restore full State aid to education
while opposing any attempt
diminish the amount of State aid re-
ceivable by New York City; 2)
whether they would oppose any at-
tempt to curtail New York City’s
revenue while fostering provisions
in the city budget of funds to pro-
vide the services deemed necessary
or advisable by the Board of Edu-
cation and whether they would vote
for the extension of State aid to pub-
lic school kindergartens; 3) whether
they would oppose any attempt to
reduce the pay of educational em-
ployees; 4) whether they would
strive, to restore full absence re-
funds ‘for ill teachers, instead of the
| present half-pay for such absenci
5) whether they would protect the
merit system; and 6) whether they
would oppose any undermining of
tenure.

Results, as set forth in 50,000
printed circulars sent out by the

| Committee this week: 59 percent of | versity.

the candidates answered “yes” to all
questions, Forty-seven of the 198
candidates failed to reply. No cag-

How’d You Like to Be

An Army

Hostess ?

Last week the army listed the requirements for a job whose purpose it is to add “a
feminine touch” to tough army life.

The army wants women be-+
tween the ages of 25 and 50, and
to those who meet the require-
ments, the salary range is from
$1,620 to $2,600 a year. The
duties of the women will be pri-
ily to make life a little more
pleasant for the soldiers—to ar-
range social programs, provide
entertainment, take care of wel-
fare activities, sooth young men
who get homesick, and in general
hold up morale. It is a job call-
ing for tact, intelligence, and
Personality.

Present plans call for one chief
hostess and two junior hostesses at
ich camp maintaining a service
ub, There's one service club for
sch camp having 5,000 to 10,000
men, Larger camps will have a
“guest house.” In addition, a variety
of guest rooms will be available for
Teading, ping-pong playing, and
Sher such activities,
nnounced by the War Depart-
ment, these are the requirements for
army hostess:

Requirements

Senior Hostess—Must be a gradu-
ite of a high school, or equivalent;
must have at least three years’ ex-
Pevience as hostess, or equivalent in
® similar occupation; minimum age,
th maximum age, fifty; annual
Salary, $2,100,

Junior Hostess—Must be a gradu-
ate of high school, or equivalent;
Must have at least one years’ ex-
Perlence as hostess, or equivalent, in

ilar occupation; minimum age,
enty-five; maximum age, forty-
annual salary, $1,620.
soe8sed_on the assumption that
fovernment quarters will be fur-
ed,” the announcement said,
be no deduction for
{srters allowance from aboye au-
jiorlzed pay of senior and junior
ostesses, nor from that of post,
‘cmp, and station librarians, How-

ever, should any of these individuals
be granted the privilege of living in
other than government quarters, no
increase in salary will be granted,

“There are no accommodations
available for dependents in govern-
ment quarters, Applicants with de-
pendents who may be appointed as
hostesses or librarians must make
private arrangements for thelr de-
pendents,
elatives (blood and marital) of
military personnel (commissioned
and enlisted) will not be employed
at posts, camps, or stations where
such personnel are stationed,”

Corps area and post, camp and
station librarians, the announcement
said, “must possess tact, energy and
resourcefulness,” and in addition,
the following qualifications:

Corps area lbrarian—Must be a
graduate of a college or university
of recognized standing, or the
equivalent; must be a graduate trom
an accredited library school, or the
equivalent; must have at least five
years’ successful experience in re-
sponsible library work, including one
year in an administrative capacity;
must have special knowledge of
library organization; minimum age,
thirty (female), thirty-five (male);
maximum age, fifty (both); annual
salary, $3,000; sex, male or female.

Post, camp or station lMbrarian—
Must be graduate of high school, or
the equivalent; must be a graduate
of an accredited library school or
the equivalent; must have at least
one year’s experience, other than
clerical, in library work, and must
be familiar with the use of. modern

library methods; minimum age,
twenty-five; maximum age, forty-
five; annual salary, $2,100; sex,
female,

The pay authorized for corps area
librarians represents the full salary
including $200 a year as allowance
for quarters. If government quarters

are furnished, the salary {1s subject
to deduction by $200 for those quar-

ters,

Where to Apply
Hostesses will not be selected by
Civil Service, but by the army itself.
Appointments must be approved by
each corps area commander. Actual
selection of appointees will be made
by local commanding officers. So, if
you'd like the hostess job, and can
get to see a local commander, and
impress him with your fitness—that’s
how to do it. One caution: the army
prefers women from communities
close to the camp—so don't go scur-
rying all over the country for a host-
ess job!

held in January. If not, the next
series will probably have to wait
until the spring. Before that time,
the Commission will have to get
guarantees of deficiency appropria-
tions from legislative leaders, who
won't be officially in Albany until

“Well, I was second lowest bid-

couldn't live up to the specifications

time was $6.85 per coat. So the
Department called me in—would I

for 2,000 young civil engineers on
January 20, 1940. In January,
mind you. Like all of them, I
sweated and studied so I could

all Civil Service aspirants, I waited.
I waited with anxiety to find if I

“Is it true, Mr, Isaac, that the
men may purchase their uniforms

“Well, if they can get exactly the
uniforms specified by the Depart-
ment, they can buy them anywhere
they wish, and nobody to tell them
different.”

“And is it correct that men must
show the Isaac’s label on their coats
or they are liable to have their jobs
threatened?

“T don't know anything about
that."

Are Coats Waterproof?

Mr, Isaac flatly contradicted the
charge that his coats aren't water-
proof.
explained,
It is interlined with blue melton,
a flannel-like material, and with
army waterproof duck, ‘Trimming
is of horsehide leather, and the col-
lar is corduroy.”

Asked his opinion of the statement
that the coat hampered the men in
their work, Mr, Isaac admitted that
the jumper, for which a number of
men have expressed preference, is a
good working garment. “But the
Department wants all the men to be
dressed alike for purposes of a pa-
rade or xoing to a funeral, How
would it look if the men were all
dressed in different costumes?”

CIVIL SERVICE LEADER Pace Seventeen

FoutTtCAL ADVERTISEMENT POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

WILL YOU TAKE

O° FOR YOUR DOLLAR?

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

You, a worker, have saved and scraped to buy life insurance so
that your wife and family will not be left in want. You have put
money in a Savings Bank for that “rainy day” when you'll need
help. Let’s say you took out a $1,000 Life Insurance policy—or
you're saving to get $1,000 in the bank. You make a lot of sacri-
fices to pay your insurance premium. You make weekly savings
bank deposits. You expect that $1,000 policy to be worth $1,000
when you die. You expect that $1,000 in savings to be worth
$1,000.

BUT... WILL IT?

If the New Deal shall continue for 4 more years, and 50% infla-
tion follows—which is altogether likely, judging from the way
government spending and taxation is going on—that $1,000 Life
Insurance policy and that $1,000 you've put into a Savings Bank
will each have a purchasing power of only $500! In other words,
inflation will take away 50% of the real value of your Life Insur-
ance policy and your savings. Your family, in case you die, will
get only 50c value in return for every dollar you've planned for
them! That's not very comforting, is it?

LOOK ar THIS,

A headline from a recent Issue of the New York Times:

FOUR MORE SAVINGS

BANKS REDUCE
INTEREST RATE

Besides, if there is 50% inflation, the value of every dollar you
earn in wages—of every dollar you get in Social Security benefits
~—will be cut in half! That’s what will happen here—UNLESS
you and every other working man and woman right now check
the forces that are heading the nation towards bankruptcy!

Life Insurance companies, too, have been forced to cut their
dividend rates—drastically in some cases, When these Insurance
Companies and these Savings Banks accept your money, they
invest it in interest-bearing securities. That’s where they get the
funds to pay your dividends!

New Deal legislation and excessive taxation have put the skids
under industries that create these earnings. What's the answer?
Their wage paying power has been cut to the bone—because
taxes come ahead of wages.

How can you expect any increase in wages if the Administration
continues to paralyze industry so that employers can’t earn the
money to pay these higher wages? Did you ever stop to think
how many business houses have been forced to close down—how
many employes have been thrown out of work, and why are 914
million men and women still out of work?

Better Be Safe Than Sorry!

Spike this condition NOW before it drags on for another 4 years
from bad to worse. Prevent inflation that will return you only
50c for your dollar saved. Protect the full value of your Life
Insurance policy—and your Sayings Banks Deposits! There's
ONE way and only ONE way to doit. . .
