NYC Reclassification
Approved by Officials

NYC is considering a reclassifi-
cation of its jobs. The present
classification, described in a
recent series of articles in The
LEADER, is to be remedied. The
proposals to appoint some outside
experts, agents or firms to conduct

a reclassification have been re-
jected both by Budget Director
Thomas J. Patterson and President
Joseph A. McNamara of the NYC
Civil Service Commission.
President McNamara said that.
as soon as the Commission finishes
its present heavy load of work, it
will consult with the Budget Direc-
tor about assigning some of its
own top experts and a few clerks
and stenographers to the reclassi-
fication task, and ask Budget Di-
rector Patterson to do likewise.
The Commission and the Budget
Director would . undertake the
joint reclassification project. The
plan is to complete it within six
months after the start, which
would be made early next year,

Patterson Likes the Idea

The LEADER submitted Presi-
dent McNamara’s suggestion to
Mr. Patterson, who welcomed it
immediately. Just as President
McNamara had said that he'd
have Sidney M. Stern, the Com-
nission’s legal und classification
expert head up the Commission's
end, so Mr. Patterson said that his
co-operating group would be head-
ed by John Carty of his office, for-
merly on the Commission's staff.

Our Tenth
Year of Service

Today is our anniversary,
During the month of October
we will celebrate the start of
ten years of devoted service by
The LEADER to the interests
of Federal, State, and local
employees within New York,
During this period, The LEA!
ER has grown into America’s
largest weekly newspaper for
public officials and employees.
Tt has become a bulwark of the
merit system, Its name is rec-
ognized as synonymous with
Good Government.

To mark this milestone The
LEADER will publish four spec.
fal Good Government issues
during October. These issues
will feature articles describing
the various phas of govern-
ment service by experts in
government and public admini-
stration. They will be issues
that our readers will keep,

Advertisers who know the
value of The LEADER—key to
the Civil Service market—will
not want to miss these special
issues. Others. who have never
Used The LEADER are invited
to test its value during the
Month of’ October,

Mr. Patterson said that the
present classification is by no
means the mess that’s been de-
picted, that there are inequities
here and there, and quirks that a
thorough study would reveal, but
expected nothing in the nature of
® revolutionary reclassification.

“The Commission and the Budg-
et Director's office would work
hand in hand, just as they've been

doing right along, and we'd achieve

better results than would any out-
sider,” said Mr. Patterson. “The
whole project wouldn't cost any
money worth mentioning.”

ALBANY, Sept. 20—The

State Civil Service Commis-

sion’s top staff officials held several conferences last week

in an effort to have the Mot

test scheduled for December 18,

or Vehicle Examiner written
but there were complications,

If these are solved, the test will be held then and the period

for the receipt of applications

day, September 27 and close on Friday, October 29.

There will be an examination
series in January and another in
February, but the class of exam-
inations to be given at each of
those times has not been decided.
However, if the Motor Vehicle}
License Examiner test can not/
be fitted into the December exam |
date, it would go over to one of|
the two succeeding months.

Large Response Expected

In the last examinations about

10,000 applied. This time between

Group Formed to Protest
Result of Police Lieut. Exam

A group of candidates in the
examination for promotion to
Police Lieutenant (P.D.) among
the 635 who received failure no-
tices has been formed in an _ef-
fort to induce the NYC Civil Ser-
vice Commission to change its
official key answers.

‘The key answers originally an-
nounced by the Commission would
have resulted in all members of
the group attaining a place on
the list, but a court decision in
another case required that multi-
ple correct answers be eliminated,
so the Commission changed its
original key for the Lieutenant
test accordingly. The Commis-
sion threw out eight questions and
reduced the muitiple answers to
seven questions to a single answer
for each question.

Meeting Called for Friday

‘The group that is asking redress
is headed by . Sergeant Sandy
Garelik, who is stationed at the
Police Academy, 15 Hubert Street,
Manhattan, He asked every candi.
date who received a failure notice
to show up at a meeting on Friday,
September 24, in Room 15-H at

853 Broadway at 8 P.M. sharp.
At that time the situation will be
canvassed, the questions and dis-

Drive Is Won
For 112 Jobs
Of Fire Lieut.

The campaign for the creation
of 112 new positions as Lieuten-
ant, Fire Department, in which
the Uniformed Fire Officers Assoc-
jation played a prominent part,
is won, Budget Director Thomas
J, Patterson gave oral approval.
Commissioner Frank J. Quayle,
who led the campaign, is ceady
to settle for November 1. The
sounter-proposal is now Decem-
ber 1,

The additions will permit re-
duction of the Officers’ 56-hour
week and allow them a day off.
ee,

puted answers will be analyzed
and a plan of operation will be
devised,

Some of the objections are to
alleged incorrectness of official
key answers, even among the seven
revised answers.

Sergeant Garelik’s group points
out that it is seeking to benefit
candidates who failed and that
results of their efforts will do no
injury to any of the candidates
who have been marked passed.

Information obtained by The
LEADER indicated that there was
no heat put on by Police Head-
quarters in regard to promotions
to Lieutenant, so that there would
be no delay in use of the list be-
cause of the activities of the
Broup.

List Due This Week

President Joseph A. McNamara
of the Commission said that the
Lieutenant list will be published
late this week. Every effort will
be made to bring the list out by
tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon,
but the Commission feared that
the clerical work on the list

The urgent request made by
Correction Commissioner Albert
Williams that the list for Correc-
tion officer be expedited, plus the
fact that the Board of Transporta-
tion is eager to appoint Transit Pa-
trolmen, and the Bridge and Tun-
nel Authority to appoint Officers,
induced the NYC Civil Service
Commission to put the publica-
tion of the completed eligible list

that for Fireman (F.D.).

The competitive. physical ex-
amination for the Fireman candi-

begin on Friday, September 24,

There is a Fireman eligible
in existence, Both Fire Commis-
sioner Frank J. Quayle and the

Civil Service Commission estimate
that this list will provide a suffi-
cient number of eligibles to fill
the needs for Fireman appoint-
ments until the end of this year.
The new Fireman list therefore
will be published soon thereafter,

The LEADER has been publish-

tion paper for this test, Prev-
jous instalments appeared in the
September 7 and 14 issues. Here~
with are three additional questions
and key answers of what will fin-
ally constitute a full-scale 100-
question examination:

19. You are planning a long
automobile trip which will take
you through several congested
cities, You figure that you would
be better off if you slept by day
and drove by night, as then the
roads would be clear and you
could drive at greatly increased
speed, thus saving time. You were
(A) Right, because the time to
make time in a car is at night,
when there's no traffic jam, (B)
Right because following the crowd
is the best way to get along in
the world; (C) Wrong because it
is wisest in the interest of per-
sonal safety, and the safety of
others to reduce speed after dark;
(D) Wrong because daylight driv-
ing is easier on the eyes; (E)
Right because you'd arrive at your
destination less tired.

20. A speed limit of 50 miles
an hour, the legal maximum, means
that (A) One is entitled to drive
50 miles an hour, despite every-
thing; (B), Any speed in er‘ess
of 55 miles an hour will get you
a ticket, as there's a 5-mile-an~
hour tacit leeway; (C) You can't
get a ticket if you are driving 50

miles an hour or le: (D), Al-
though 50 miles an hour is’ per~
mitted, it is only if you're driv-
ing safely at that speed, for any
speed that endangers life, limb or
property is illegal; (B) local reg-
ulations requiring lesser speed are

null and void and you may safely
ignore them; (F) 50 miles may be
attained only in passing another
vehicle,

21. The right of way of a driver
as against pedestrians exists when
(A) The traffic light is changing;

(B) The traffic light is red; (C)
When the traffic light is green,
under all conditions; (D) When

the traffic light is green and the

The Public
Employee

By Dr. Frank L. Tolman

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

Industrial Commissioner Discusses State Jobs

The September issue of the Industrial Bulletin, pub-
lished by the New York State Department of Labor,
features a description of the Albany Industrial District.

Commissioner Edward Corsi leads off with an editorial
on the significance of Albany as the chief center of the
State government and the contributions of the public em-
ployees to the people of the State,

I wish to give the balance of this column to quote and
to emphasize what the Commissioner says:

“The range of job titles among State employees will
astonish me people who do not realize what a vast
business Si government has become in modern times.
Many capable men and women, realizing the advantages
of Civil Service status, have decided to make careers of
State service. This is definitely to the taxpayer’s advan-
tage. It means that he will get more efficient government
at less cost.

Citi

zens Are Emloyers

“The government worker is literally the citizen’s own
employee. He works for the people—is paid with their.
tax dollar nd his sole function is to serve them. So,
when the citizen goes to a government office for informa-
tion, advice or aid, he should consider the service received
rather than a tavor, a right for which he is paying and to
which he is legally entitled. , . .

“Tt is a sound axiom that a law is no better than.its
administration. The wisest, most equitable law may have
its good effect nullified by unintelligent or haphazard
administration, A good administrative body should pro-
vide the necessary flexible buffer between the exactness
of the law and the inexactness of situations involving
human beings.”

The following quotations from the leading article,
“Government by the People”, logically continues the
argument presented in the editorial:

“In its day-to-day operation, government of the people
and for the people is inevitably run by the people—a lot
of them. In New York State, a corps of some 70,000
workers in the State service—approximately 10,000 of
them in the Albany area—fill a diverse array of posts to
execute the will of the people (expressed through their
Legislature) and to administer the hundreds of State ac-
tivities that today are an accepted part of the repertoire
of modern government. .. .

Symbol of Empire State

“Albany is a ‘government’ town. Active though it is
on a variety of productive fronts, Albany sticks out on
the map of New York as a symbol of Empire statehood
and the functions and functionaries behind it. For better
or for worse, this upper Hudson River city is married to
statecraft and its train of laws, legislators, rules, depart-
ments, boards, commissioners, clerks, technicians and
politicians

“In per
has necessarily

yvming these services the State government
umed the stature of big business, It is
not only smployer, but a big eustomer for the pro-
duets of American industry and agriculture.”

I suggest that all State employees, particularly those
in the Capital District, will find much of interest in this
September issue of The Industrial Bulletin.

Merchants to Help Public
Employees With Bonus Plan

The Civil Service LEADER ig making arrangements
with a number of merchants to allow a 10 percent ‘cost-
of-living’” bonus—in the form of reduced prices—to all
civil service employees.

This service will begin with the issue of October 5.

The merchants have agreed that items which they sell
to readers of The LEADER willl be offered at this substan-
tial saving. The merchants are participating in the plan
as a tribute to public employees and good government.
The names and addresses of participating merchants, to-
gether with the merchandise which will be in the cost-
of-living bonus plan, will appear in The LEADER during
the entire month of October.

All readers are asked to patronize the merchants who
are giving them the price reductions,

They’re Running for Assn. Office

Doctor Frank L. Tolman

Candidate for re-election as
President

Dr. Prank A, Tolman is a mem-
ber of the State Merit Award
Board. He entered State service
in 1906 as Reference Librarian in
the State Education* Department.
In 1928 he was appointed Direc-
tor of the Division of Library
Bxtension, which in 1937 became
the Division of Adult Education
and Library Extension. He was
a member and Secretary of the
Temporary Salary Standardiza-
tion Board throughout its exis-
tence. Doctor Tolman did the
major part of the drafting of the
Feld-Hamilton salary schedules
for State employees. He was also
responsible for writing the dec~
laration of policy of the State with
respect to equal pay for equal
work, and as President, from Oct-
ober 1945 to the present, he has
guided the Association through
three years of unprecedented pro-
gress.

Respect for Dr. Tolman extends
to all official circles of the State.
Considered ‘a formidable negotia-
tor, he has been responsible for
innumerable employee gains dur-
ing his regime as President of
the Association. He is credited
with an important role in the for-
mulation of e informal “con-
ference method” which has grown
up as a means of mind-meeting be-
tween administration and employ-
ees. His policies are agressive, and
he speaks his mind bluntly, effee-
tively, and powerfully, in his Civil
Service LEADER column, on the
platform, and in negotiation. His
careful approach to the salary
question ulted in bringing New
York State employee pay to the
highest level, with raises total-
ling more than $22,000,000 for
the current fiscal year. An inci-
sive thinker, Dr. Tolman is known
for his ability to steer a clear
course of action, both in negotia-
tion and in the conduct of a meet-
ing. He has a reputation, too, for
amazing erudition. In conversation
he frequently confounds listeners
with the breadth and detail of
his knowledge. Under his Presi-
dency, the Association has grown
to new heights as the greatest or-
ganization of its kind in the
United States.

exciting Campaign

An exciting campaign was prom-
ised by several developments dur-
ing the past week,

One of these was the hot two-
way race for the second vice-presi-
dency between John Powe in-
cumbent, of New York City, and
Robert R. Hopkins, challenger, of
Buffalo. Both are well-known, well-
liked figures among State employ-
ees. Both have contributed im-
portant services to the advance
ment of the civil service worker:
While the Western Conference ha:
declared itself solidly behind its
leader Hopkins, the Metropolitan
Conference has gone on record as
favoring the re-election of Pow-
ers. The “political” wizards in
State employee circles report that
the Central Conference is mainly
for Hopkins, with however some
important chapter deflections for
Powers.

The Fifth V-P Race

Another “hot” race is that for
the fifth vice-presidency, between
two genial gentlemen, Wayne So-
per, incumbent, and Ernest L, Con-
Jon, president of the Binghampton
Chapter and an officer of the

Central Conference, A third con-
tender. Biagio Romeo, of the Psy-
chiatric Hospital, was not valida-
ted to run for the position on the
ground that he fell slightly short
of the required number of votes
for an independent nomination.
Sidney Alexander, who is “manag
ing" the Romeo campaign, main-
tains that the required number of
votes was available, but didn't
reach Albany in time, However,
the Romeo forces are not giving
up. The Metropolitan Conference
has Already gone on record for a
write-in campaign in favor of him,

Information reaching The
LEADER office indicates that there
will be write-in votes also for Wil-
liam Farrell, who was not renom-
inated for the position of repre-
sentative for the Mental Hygiene
Department on the State Execu-
tive Board, The official nominee
for the position is John M. Harris,
of Letchworth Village. However,
there is no organized Farrell cam-
paign, and Farrell himself has dis-
couraged all attempts to start
such a campaign,

meeting, outlining much of the

the democratic character of its
functioning, and the principal
early objectives as they now
appear.

Prime Need

Mr, McDonough said:

Thoughtful citizens recognize
that wise, stable civil government
is a prime need of civilized people.
They know that it not only has
to do with liberty, but that it is
essential to free enterprise. The
Association has from its inception
emphasized the need of complete
Joyalty on the part of government.
workers. It recognizes that today
more than at any time in history,
civil service employee must be
qlert to the subversive elements
that are attempting to undermine
orderly government throughout
the world and to create a world
revolution with its certainty of
a return to barbarism,

“The Association denounces all
communistically inclined leaders
under whatever guise they come—
as labor union organizers or wor!
ers or as political groups. The
real workers of America have no
sympathy or support for the Mos-
cow crowd which with true com-
munistic form seek constantly to
infiltrate each labor and political
group.

“The Association offers to all
civil service employees an oppor-
tunity for democratic expressign
and action to maintain and pro-
mote American ideals of freedom
and social justice. Tt welcomes to
fellowship with 46,000 other loyal
civil service employees the em~-
ployees of The J, N. Adam Mem-
orial Hospital and invites their

complete cooperation in preparing
and

advancing the Association’s
rogram for a constantly improv~
ing service to the people and the
solution of each employee
problem.”

‘The Southern Conference of The
Civil Service Employees Associa-
tion, at the largest attended and
most enthusiastic meeting of its
history, unanimously adopted a
resolution calling for the utmost
unity by all employees and chap-
ters of the Association to achieve

the 1948-1949 goals of a sliding
scale salary plan, liberalized pen-
sions and improved working con-
ditions.

Chairman Francis A. MacDonald
led the Conference in acclaim of
the policy of subordinating per-
sonal or selfish aims to the pro-
motion of common good, and
called for enthusiastic support of
the Association officers and the
executive committee in all the
undertakings that those agencies
agree upon.

‘Tribute to Quinn
The meeting was held at the
Westfield State Farm, The As-
sociation chapter of that insti-
tution is headed by Everett H.
Quinn, Mr, MacDonald paid glow-
tribute to Mr Quinn and the
ngements committee that the
chapter president had appointed,
which provided a delightful and
well-fed occasion for everyone
of the 250 persons attending. Miss
Kay Randolph was Chairman of
the Committee.
“The way that the committee
performed its task would be a
good example for all committees
to follow in all associations,” re-
marked Chaifman MacDonald.
The Conference heard talks by
Mary Goode-Krone, Chairman of
the State Personnel Coun
F. Powers, 2d vice-pr
the Association, Clarence W. F.
Stott, Chairman of the Central
Conference, C. Albion Kenworthy,
vice-president of the Binghamton
Chapter, and John Harris of the
Orange “Village Chapter, candi-
date for Representative of the
Mental Hygiene Department on
the Board of Directors.

A Gesture of Generosity

A new note was sounded at the
Conference by the unanimous ad-
option of a resolution expressing
a willingness to defray the cost
of a room in the new building that
the Association is planning in Al-
bany. It would be known as the
Southern Conference Room, but

plan goes through, a plaque would
be erected, identifying the room
and the donor of its furnishings.

“If the Association accepts the
idea,” suggested Mr. MacDonald,
“the four other Conferences might
be willing to duplicate what the
Southern Conference is doing and
in that way the Association would
receive a gift of the furnishings
of five rooms and the gratuity
would be a lastingsymbol of the
cooperation and solid unity that
exists in the ranks of the As-
sociation,”

Resolutions were adopted in the
form of requests to the Associa-

States Employ
926,000,

Govt. Reveals

State government employment
reached an unprecedented level in
April 1948 when 48 States had
926,000 persons on their pay rolls,
earning a total of $171,000,000
during the month, according to a
report issued by the U, S. Bureau
of the Cens

s Bureau, which sur-
governmental employment
four times a year, says that State
government monthly pay rolls in-
creased 22 per cent—$31,000.000—
between April 1947 and April 1948,
State employees increased 8 per
cent in number during the same
period,

Some of the increase in State
pay rolls reflec panded per=
sonnel but the major portion has
resulted from increased wage and
salary rates. Owing primarily to
cost-of-living and other pay ad-
justments, average monthly earn-
ings of State employees rose from
$163 per employee in April 1947
to $185 in April 1948,

Educational activities of the §
accounted for almost one third of
all State employees in 1948, more
than the number required for any

‘TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1948

We Can Learn
From Japan
significant dispatch was forwarded by a foreign cor-

A respondent of the New York Times last week. It
carried the headline:
CIVIL SERVICE SEEN
AS CRUX IN JAPAN

American Official Declares
Bureaucrats Must Go If
Democracy Is to Win

Here, in a kind of laboratory, is being displayed the
importance of a vital merit system to a democratic nation.
Out of the realm of theory, in the hurly-burly of every-
day government, the situation is crystal clear. The Times
dispatch is important because it demonstrates that the
fight for a decent merit system is a fight for democracy.

Here’s what's going on in Japan, according to Blaine
Hoover, chief of American headquarters’ civil service
division.

™ir. Hoover has been unable, so far, to get a decent
civil service act on the books. The canny bureaucrats,
he says, carefully emasculate each new draft before send-
ing it to headquarters.

Mr. Hoover’s program would vacate every public office
from vice minister down to section chief, and then refill
the posts by competitive examination. Mr. Hoover also
seeks the establishment of machinery for adequate com-
pensation, the proper handling of grievances, and the
filtering down of similar reforms on the local level.

As described by the New York Times Correspondent,
the present bureaucracy (a pure spoils system setup) is
directly contrary to the needs of a democratic state. Read
the description, by Burton Cran

“Mr. Hoover gave a grim picture of Japan’s all-power-|
ful self-perpetuating bureaucracy, which many Japanese
call “the strongest political party.’ The higher public
service grades, he said, have become virtually a monopoly
of graduates of the Tokyo Imperial University law cour:
Not only do the incumbents form a clique but they design
the examinations so that only fellow alumni can get good
marks. Those outside the charmed circle are not allowed
to rise on merit.

“To keep new fledglings annually entering Government
service, those on top would resign early. Then the pres-
sure of their whole Ministry would be exerted upon large
business interests to take them in, Under this system, so
old and so well understood, Government employees were
really working for private interests for years before their
retirement.”

As for the boisterous American advocates of spoils, of
exempt jobs, of evasion in order to fill positions by means
just a little bit illegal,—let them look at the evolution of
that setup in Japan, and realize that what they are really
doing is chipping away at democratic government.

He polled a record vote,

——

For more than ten years now
State employees generally have
been receiving the benefit of the
declared policy of the Legislature
that they should receive “equal
pay for equal work.” On the basis
of this guiding declaration, State
employees have petitioned the
State salary boards for higher
salaries, pointing out that the
work they did was as responsible
and as valuable as that performed
by employees in higher salary
brackets. The emphasis in these
appeals for administrative ad-
justments was for more salary
ased on the existing amount of
work, But recently the “equal
pay for equal work” clause was
given a new twist—and strangely
enough—by employees of the New
York City school system.

These employees—teachers in
vocational high schools—went to
court to obtain an order com-
pelling the Board of Education to
amend its by-laws so as to equal-
ize the hours of service required
to teachers in vocational high

Law, setting forth the principle
of “equal -pay for equal work."
In other words, they sought “equal
work for equal pay.”

More Work for the Others?

Although the opinion of the
Justice of the Supreme Court in
Kings County, where the proceed.
ing was heard, did not so state, it
is fair to assume that the teachers
involved were desirous of obtaining
an equality of working hours
which would result in a reduc.
tion of theirs rather than an in.
crease in the working hours of
the “academic” teachers.

The Court, however, was no}
persuaded by the argument of
the “vocational” teachers. It
pointed out that there was no
specific statutory requirement that
the principle of equal pay for
equal work must be applied “in
all cases under any and all cir.
cumstances.” A highercourt’s rul-
ing was cited, stating that fixing
the schedule of the working hours
of vocational high schools was a
matter within the administrative
discr.tion of the Board of Ed
cation and that “the court ought
not to interfere with the authority
primarily responsible for the con-
duct of the schools unless there
is palpable discrimination or ar-
bitrary action detrimental to the
individual or class.” The Court
found no such discrimination here
and dismissed the case, (Beer and
Carroll_v. Board of Education,
7-9-48 N.Y.L.J. p, 53 col. 5)
Applicable to Local Employees?

One of the statements made by
the Court should prove of interest
to local employees as well as to
those State employees who have
considered the “equal pay for
equal work” principle as appli-
cable only to State employees, be-
cause it is found in a portion of
the Civil Service Law which deals
with the compensation of State
employees only, The Court said,
“Section 37 of the Civil Service
Law embodying the principle of
equal pay for equal work is 3
mere statement of general policy
applicable to all civil service em-
ployees.” The word “all” would
seem to apply the principle to lo-

veterans among the three certi-

The Practical Side

As a practical matter, however,
this would not be the result, ex-
cept in unusual cases where a
list was very small, In the State
Service, the head of a depart-
ment has ostensibly the right of
selection of one out of three names
certified, but actually this is ex-
tremely limited. When an ap-
pointing officer passes over two
names on a list under the present
State rules he would be com-

The Legislature could, if it
chose, provide by statute in suP-

could pass over a veteran without

Mr, Siemer, who will undertake
his new duties next month, suc-
ceeds Deputy Comptroller Archi-
bald N, Galloway, who will re-
sume the practice of law in New
York City.

Born in Buffalo, Mr. Siemer

Buffalo Law School in 1934, He
was admitted to the bar in Sep-
tember 1934.

Ogdensburg
Has Smallest
Public Payroll

OGDENSBURG, Sept. 20— Og-
densburg has a smaller public pay-
roll, in relation to its size, than
do most cities in the United States
of 10,000 population and oyer, ac-
cording to figures just released by
the Bureau of the Census,

On the local payroll are listed
203 employees, exclusive of teach-
ers and other school workers, as
of October, 1947, the month for
which the comparisons are made,
For the sample month they re-
ceived a total of $13,100,

This outlay, if borne equally by
all the residents of Ogdensburg,
would come to $1.44 per capita,
The cost compares with the $2.64
per capita, spent monthly for muni.
cipal pay-rolls in the other 994
cities surveyed.

Municipal employment is gen-
erally on the increase, as it has
been since the war ended, the
Census Bureau finds. In Ogdens-
burg, the number on the rolls
rose 12.1 per cent in the year end-
ed October, 1947, This was more
than the national increase, 4.1
per cent.

Earnings of Ogdensburg em-
Ployees are also going up, con-
forming to the national pattern.
Exclusive of school personnel, lo-
cal city workers averaged $114
compared with $91 a month the
previous year. For the other
cities, average wages were $182 a
month, an increase from the
$168 of 1946.

How Many
Holidays
A Year?

The question has been raised:
Just how do the State holiday
rules werk respecting veterans and
non-veterans?

A letter to The LEADER on the
issue stated the problem in these
words:

Editor, The LEADER;

“The Attendance Rules and
Regulations for State employees
allows ALL State employees 10
holidays off a year or credit in
Heu of:

“A law was passed in the last
legislature granting veterans Mem-
orial Day and Armistice Day off or
credit in lieu of:

“Does this mean that veterans
are allowed 12 holidays or credit
for each year, or is the two specific
days included in the ten men-
tioned in the Attendance Rules?

“What we would like to know is:
Are veterans allowed the same time
off a year as non-veterans, al-
though they can demand under the
Jaw Memorial Day and Armistice
Day?

“Tf you will answer this in your
columns in the near future you
will settle a controversy that has
been talked over not only locally
but throughout the State.”

Joseph Schechter, Counsel to the
State Civil Service Department,
answers the question this way:

“Rule IL of the Attendance Rules
for New York State institutional
rmployees provides that such em-
ployees shall be given time off for
ten legal holidays occurring dur-
ing the year, Such ten holidays
include Memorial Day and Armis-
tice Day. Both veterans and non-
veterans are entitled to leaves of
absence with pay for ten holidays
during the year.

“Section 63 of the Public Off-
cers Law which provides that vet-
erans shall be granted leaves of
absence with pay on Memorial Day
and Armistice Day covers veterans
in public employment in all juris-
dictions and is designed to grant
such veterans time off to observe
Memorial Day and Armistice Day.
The provisions of Section 63 are
complied with in State service by
the granting of 10 legal holidays
which include Armistice Day and
Memorial Day.”

New Travel Time Rule

Held Unjust to Workers

ALBANY, Sept. 20—Recent re-
visions of travel time rules, affect-
ing Motor Vehicle Inspectors, Mo-
tor Carrier Investigators and
Transportation Service Inspectors,
are compelling employees to de-
vote personal time to the State
without getting paid for it, and
therefore requiring them to work
a longer work week for the same
pay that they got previously.

The employees are outraged so
much that the subject is being
discussed heatedly at home and
abroad with friends and relatives,
in the hope that public and offi
cial realization of the injustice
will help to bring a speedy remedy.

Association Quick to Act

Meanwhile, however, representa-
tives of The Civil Service Employ-
ees Association had already got~
ten busy trying to have the tangle
straightened out.

The new rule sets a maximum
travel distance for which full al-
lowance is made, but where the
trip is a longer one, half of the
excess must be made up by the
employee. An illustrative example
would be that of an employee who
lives in Schenectady and works in
Albany. Round-trip travel time
is about an hour. If the employee
is told to perform inspection work
in Poughkeepsie, where the round-
trip travel time is about four
hours, at least half of the three-
hour excess must be made up by
him, He has no control whatever
over the assignment.

One employee who felt k

nly

|the injustice of the new ruling
said that it lengthens the work
week and puts field workers in a
field sweat shop.

Joseph Lettis, President of the
Public Service Motor Vehicle In-
spectors chapter of the Associa-
tion, who lives in Queens Village,
has been working closely with
President Frank L. Tolman in an
effort to have the hardship ab-
rogated. Mr. Lettis explains that
Motor Vehicle Inspectors may lose
half an hour at the start of the
day and half an hour at the end
of the day, which could result in
7% hours pay for 84 hours work.

Call Ruling Vicious

Employees also point out that
the effect of the new rule is to
reduce chargeable travel time by
50 per cent, therefore removing
the limit to the number of hours
a day that would have to be
worked to get credit for 7% hours.
Employees call the ruling vicious
and cumulative upon deplorable
conditions under which they are
compelled to work. They point out
that they have to maintain duty
headquarters in their own homes
and are required to have tele-
phones toward which the State
contributes nothing, while they
are on call 24 hours a day. Also,
they must use their personal cars,
when that is advantageous to the
State, and they claim that they
suffer a ratable loss, especially
where the monthly mileage aver-
age is low.

For Gains

MILWAUKEE, Sept. 20,— The
National Federation of Federal
Employees’ Convention received
moré than 500 resolutions, They
were referred to committees. The
resolutions cover every phase of
Federal employment, but are con-
cerned chiefly with basic problems
of classification, wages, retirement,
leave and hours, and the like.
There also are several resolutions
reaffirming the Federation's sup-
port to the Federal loyalty inves-
tigation program and recommen-
dations that the investigation be
made permanent by legislative en-
actment.

Ulrey J. Biller, Washington,
D. C., announced that he would
not seek reelection as a member
of the Executive Council, because
of ill health,

Former U, 8S, Civil Service Com-
missioner, Arthur S, Flemming,
now President of Ohio Wesleyan
University and a member of the
Hoover Commission on organiza-
tion of the executive branch of
the government, declared that
there are more than 500,000 Fed-
jeral placements a year and that
this huge turnover arises, in part,
from dissatisfaction over working
conditions,

He urged that Postmaster ap-
pointments be removed completely
from the political sphere and that
| Collectorships of Internal Revenue
and Customs likewise be placed
under the merit system.
| “The present situation with re-
{spect to these positions is inde-
fensible from the standpoint of
|good government,” le declared.
| He emphasized the need for giv-
jing larger encouragement to em-
ployees for suggestions for the im-
provement of management in gov-
jemmment, and he said that employ-
ees often are “reluctant to make
suggestions because they fecl that
either the ideas are not going to
be accepted in the proper spirit
jor may not be practical.”

Talk by Kaplan

H. Eliot Kaplan, Executive Sec-
retary of the National Civil Ser-
vice League, declared that “the
public service is the front line of
democratic action, and everything
possible must be done to strengthen
that bulwark.” He added:

“Economy in government must,
|not be achieved at the expense of
employees who are carrying on
the vital function of government,
|If agencies are over-staffed, they
| should be soundly and scientifi-
cally reduced; but staffs must be
adequate to do the job, and career

employees must be given the sup-
port and the incentives to enable
them to fulfill their duties at the
\highest level of efficiency.”
He reported a woeful lack of un-
| derstanding among business and
industrial leaders, and the public
generally, of both the merit sys-
tem and the public service as a
whole,

“Yet the responsibilities of goy-
ernment are growing constantly
larger as it seeks to develop and
maintain the ever-wideniyg lst
of services demanded by the pub-
ie,” he continued, “There is
great need for a systematic pro-
gram of public education on all
phases of the public service, in-
cluding personnel administration,”

He praised the leadership of the
Federation for its “long, devoted
and remarkably successful activ-
ities which have resulted in such
immense progress in public per-
sonnel management during the
past three decades.”

Application for the NYC exam
for Probation Officer will be ac-
cepted by the NYC Civil Service
Commission probably from Wed-
nesday, October 12, until Thurs-
day, October 27,

There are approximately 100
vacancies, and more are expected.

At the present many of the jobs
are held by provisionals.
President Joseph A. McNamara
of the Commission has been urg~
‘ing that this exam be held, and

Probation iGéhear Exam
Planned to Open in Oct.

‘hi also pressed for an in-
cs e in pay.
Though the ary will prob-

ably be advertised at only $2,710
total, President McNamara does
not think that this will limit re-
cruitment. It is generally felt
that the salary should and will
be increased.

Age limits are likely to be set
at 21 to 55; pass mark 70 per cent
on the written test, with a qualify-
ing oral test. A college degree will
be required. Relevant experience
will be a must.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—Pub-
lic employees already have started
organizing a campaign for exemp-
tions of pensions from income
taxation, The drive will get un-
der way after the Presidential
election.

The efforts formerly made to
obtain exemption for all pensions,
so that public employees will bene-
fit, will be renewed. At present
exemptions apply only to the mem~
bers of the Social Security System
and the Railroad Retirement Sys-
tem. This the public employees
charge is discriminatory,
Federal employee groups have
hired actuaries to bolster their
case,

that might be avoided,

Furthermore, failure to consult
with representatives of employees
in accordance with a systematic
schedule means that thousands of
administrators are not receiving
sound ideas and suggestions rela-
tive to the improvement of work-
ing conditions which they other-
wise would receive.

This situation can and should
be corrected.

Formalized programs for con-
sultations between administrators
and representatives of employees
should be inaugurated in all de-
partments and agencies of the
federal government. Employee or-
ganizations should work toward
such a goal. Persons interested in
strengthening the management

likewise work toward such a goal.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20—The
U. S. Civil Service Commission
reminded Federal employees who
transferred to public or private
agencies or to other Federal
agencies for national-defense or
war work with reemployment
rights that with few exceptions
these rights expire on October 22
unless application for reemploy-
ment is made before that date.

Beginning in December 1941,
about 250,000 Federal employees
transferred to public or private
agencies or to other Federal agen-
cies to perform essential national-
defense or war work. Under
the authority of several Executive
orders, about half of these em-
ployees were granted reemploy-
ment rights in their previous posi-
tions.

An Executive order issued in
April set October 22, 1948, as the
termination date of these rights.
The order was amended this
month by Executive order 9994
to exempt two small groups of
employees from the termination
order, As a result, persons who
are employed on October 22 in
an agency that is being liquidated
or which has been directed to be
liquidated by statute will not have
to apply for restoration in their
original agency until they are re-
Heved from duty in the liquidating
agency. Similarly, persons serving
in the armed forces or merchant
marine on October 22 who would
have had restoration rights in the
agencies from which they orig-
inally transferred had they en-
tered the armed forces or mer-
chant marine directly from the
agencies will not have to apply
for restoration until their release.
‘They must not, however, take any
action after October 22 to extend
their period of service in the
armed forces or merchant marine

Too Much Reviewing

Insistence on proposed action be-
ing reviewed by literally dozens of
persons before action is taken will
do more to destroy faith in govern-
ment than any other single factor.
We deprive people who are on
the job of the opportunity of deal-
ing with situations as they arise.
Our reason for so doing is that
their work must be reviewed by
higher officials. Actually, the high-
er official becomes swamped and
in reality the review is made by
a clerk far removed from an un-
derstanding of the facts and cir-
cumstances surrounding the pro-
posed action. In the meantime
weeks and months may have elap-
sed, It just doesn’t make sense.
The quicker we realize it the bet-

Service Commissioner,

arrange for a suitable suite at
headquarters for Conference mem-
bers and their delegates during the
Association's annual meeting in
Albany.

A resolution was passed that the
expense allowance for traveling
employees be increased to $5 a day
for food and to 8-1/3 cents per
mile for automobile expenses.
‘The delegates also endorsed the
following resolutions:

That a request go to the board
of directors to call upon the State
to correct substandard facilities in
certain State offices and quarters
which are not conducive to effi-
ciency of State business, with spe-
cial emphasis on poor lighting
facilities, rest rooms for employ-
ees, et that employees in insti-
tutions be issued meal tickets and
not be required to pay for food
which they do not consume. The
Conference went on record as op-
posing the split shift in mental
hygiene institutions.

Holidays on Saturdays

The group also decided to ask
the Association’s board of directors
to take up the problem of the

another objective which the dele-
gates endorsed.

Union Asks Change
In Requirements for
Job as Investigator

Absence of educational require-
ments in the Investigator exam-
inations for which NYC will re-
ceive applications until Septem-
ber 30 was protested by Local 111
of the United Public Workers.
Local President Samuel Garnett
wrote to President Joseph A. Mc-
Namara, of the Civil Service Com-
mission:

“Many of the competitors in
the examination are at present
employed by the City of New York
in the title of Investigator. A large
percentage of these employees
have worked for the City for from
three to six years, They served

the City faithfully and well at
low salaries during the war years,
when the City Departments had
insufficient staffs, Their provi-
sional status was no fault of their
own but resulted from the. City’s
Policy of not holding examinations
in that period. No political con-
siderations were involved in their
appointment. The present policy
will mean dismissal for these
workers as a reward for their
devoted service. These employees
should at the very least be granted
credit for their service. This can
be done by providing rated exper-
ience in the Investigator Exam-
ination.

Professionals Have Degrees

“In the Department of Finance,
these Investigators were required
to have a college degree for pro-
visional appointment. This re-
quirement was set up because the
work performed requires a high
degree of adaptability, capability
and training. The positions are
highly responsible and often in-
volve direct contact with the
public,

“We maintain that this type of
Position warrents educational re-~
quirements not included by the
Commission, We ask the Com-
mission to include such require-
ments for the Investigator Exam-
ination. The failure to include

Chronic |
Weighed

The NYC Civil Service Com-
mission has been discussing in-
formally the establishment of a
minimum health requirement in
open-competitive examinations.

Under such a method any ap-
licant for entry into City service
who has a chronic, serious dis-
ease of a nature that would in-
terfere with regular attendance at
work and from which he might die
at any moment, would be dis-
qualified. The rule would not ap-
ply in promotion examinations.

Among the reasons given in
support of the project at a private
conference held behind closed
doors at the Commission's office
were: reducing the amount of
sick leave that exceeds regular al-
Jowance; increasing the average
longevity record of City employ-
ees, and reducing the number of
cases of half-year's pay allowed
in_case of death,

In opposition to the proposal
the argument was made that the

IIness
as Bar

To Getting Jobs

rule would be easy to abuse, that
subjective findings might be used
at some future time for disquali-
fying candidates then applying,
and that it is counter to this
generation's trend in social science.

Effect on Insurance

The effect on the NYC pension
system would e negligible, since
the NYC Employees Retirement
System is ahead when an em-
ployee dies prematurely. The
heavy burden is the old-age re-
tirement pensions.

The City pays half a year's sal-
ary to an employee who has been
member of the Retirement
tem for six months, and when
the member-service ‘reaches 10
years, the payment is a full year's
salary. In the case of new en-
trants ,the six-months period has
to be covered by membership in
the System, and it is not enough
that the employee worked for the
City six months,

Tunnel Officer list will come out
about the end of November.
Many Appointments Loom
The rate of failures in the Fire-
man physical ran about 942 per
cent, and it is expected that the
eligible list will consist of around
7,500 names, a record figure for
Fireman examinations. The list
will be so large that the effect of
veteran preference as it now ex-
ists would be pronounced, How-
ever, since this is an open-com-
petitive examination, the pro-
Posed Mitchell amendment for
amendment of the veteran pref-
erence law would improve the|
opportunities of non-veterans to
get appointed and at the same
time would give point credits to
war veterans, This was explained
in detail in an authoritative ar-
ticle in last week's LEADER, is-
sue of September 14,
Commissioner Quayle has noti-
fied the Commission that he does
not expect to make more than
150 appointments as Firemen this
year and therefore would not need
the new list until after the first of
next year, There are no provi-

Veteran Preference Angle

The list will contain between
200 and 210 names,

The list, like all other city lists,
will be affected by any change in
the veteran preference law, The
preference for non-disabled vet-
erans with minor exceptions will
expire on December 31 1950 but
two proposed amendments were
Passed by the last Legislature to
enable continuation of preference,

Under one of these proposed
amendments known as the Mit-
chell bill disabled veterans would
get a 10 point addition to their
earned score and non-disabled vet-
erans a 5 point addition in both
open-competitive and half as
much in promotion examinations.
The actual benefit is limited to
one instance of full enjoyment.

Under the other measure the
Condon bill present preference for
non-disabled veterans would be
continued for five years in open-

Falco Urges Improved

gamuel Di Palco, New York
councilman, this week came

or) Falco told ‘The LEADER:
Fic workers should not be
pehind as the cost of living
The time is over when the
and women working in a
office must be the last to
an upward revision in pay.
‘ity of New York must as-
mployees decent working

as the cost of living rises, so
iid pay on City jobs. It is a
Fople for which I intend to
up a strong stand.”

‘pscalator’ Wage Plan

yr, Di Falco’s views show that
freasingly public officials are
ing to view the “escalator”

S. SAMUEL DI FALCO
Public employees. While Mr. Di

be plan as the proper one for

Falco did not specifically endorse

this plan, his thinking is clearly
in that direction. The plan, now
operating in Westchester County
and in General Motors, provides
that salary is tied to the cost-of-
living index. Every time the in-
dex goes up a point, salary goes
up accordingly. If the index goes
down, so does pay, with however a
floor below which pay cannot fall.
Public employees view the plan
with increasing approval.

Running for Supreme Court

Mr. Di Falco is currently a
candidate for Supreme Court in
the first judicial district, New
York County, and has been a mem-
ber of the City Council since 1941.
Between 1935 and 1939, he served
as Associate Counsel with the
U. S. Department of Interior. Ac-
tive in Democratic Party circles,
Mr. Di Falco was campaign mana-
ger and executive secretary of
the National Democratic Com-
mittee of the Italian Division for
the re-election of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, and held similarly ac-
tive positions in the campaigns
of 1940 and 1944,
