Hint of Upward Changes
In Some Grades and Pay
Harriman
Fills Five
SeeninJ.E.KellyStatement Major Posts
ALBANY, Jan. 3—A hint that
some grade and pay in the State
service will be upped came tn the
Jast paragraph of a memorandum
which J, Earl Keliy, State Direc-
tor of Classification and Compen-
sation, sent to all appointing of-
ficers, The memorandum, which
was reported in The LEADER for
Tuesday, December 20, had advised
departments to file appeals on
behalf of their employees before
the January 1 deadline, Mr, Kelly
has not yet reported how many
wencies did so. The statement:
“We believe that the allocations
which were mace on October 1,
1954, have established sound sal-
ary relationships among virtually
all of the 2,000 State titles and
that the compensation plan, as a
whole, is in excellent order, Prom
Our more recent studies, we note
that changes in the grades of some
titles must be made, Probably the
number of ‘non-appealed’ titles
requiring reallocation will be small
Dut, however few they may be.

active pay benefits for employees
as those which undergo change

uniformity of treatment, it has

Harriman
ALBANY, Jan. 3—Governor Ave-
reli Harriman took office this week
as civil servants went over his
campaign commitments and won-
dered how they would fare in light
of significant problems:
1, The struggle between a Demo-
cratic governor and a GOP-con-
trolled legislature.
2. The absence of a working
surplus in the State treasury.
In civil service circles, the new
“team™ which will work with Gov-
ernor Harriman is generally con-
sidered good.
However, the political difcul-
tles are not overlooked. With a
presidential election less than two
years away, every act of the Demo-
© and the Republicans, every
approach taken by the Governor
and the Legislature, will be ex-
amined for political implications,
One early example was the freea-
ing-in of 26 exempt and non-com-
petitive employees Into the com-
petitive class by the Republican-
controlled Civil Service Commis-
sion two weeks ago. The uproar
reached proportions redolent of
campaign time.
Commitment on Pay
The Governor's commitments on
civil service matters were sharp
and clear, He will presumably re+
fer to them tn his first message
to the Legislature, The issue of
salary, paramount among State
employees, received careful evalu~
ation from Mr, Harriman during
the campaign, He said:
“A new classification and pay
plan went into effect this year, I
note, not without some amuse-
ment, that the first six months of
pay increase under the new plan
was withheld until October 1, so
that State employees could get
a lump sum payment just before
election time. I note, too, that the
scheme has boomeranged, because
the checks that many employees
got were pretty small. Some em~
ployees get raises of $7 = year,
others get much as 54 cen!
some get nothing, What kind
pian {fs this? I believe that the

Day-Work Pick by Seniority
Argued Before State Board
ALBANY, Jan. 3—The Personnel
Relations Board ended a hearing
on the grievance of Anthony Con-
tento and Stanley Murphy, of
Brooklyn State Hospital.
They requested transfer to day
duty, on the ground of senlority
in the supervising nurse title, Both
are fathers, and have worked the
night shift for seven years, They
also want to continue their edu-
cation, for credits counting toward
promotion, but find nursing courses
given when it would be impossible
to take them
They complained that a vacancy
in the day shift was filled by an
appointee who did not meet-the
departmental educational require-
ments, while the two complainants
at least showed their Intention of
studying to meet them, The ap-
pellants sought a transfer, not =
promotion.
‘The case was presented by John
J, Kelly, Jr., assistant counsel to
the Civil Service Employees Asso~
ciation, Mr. Kelly, of the firm of
DeGraff, Foy, Conway and Holt-
Harris, argued that the policy the
appellants favor is more reason=
able and desirable, especially since
employees in general greatly prefer
day work.
The Board has reserved decision,

Looking Inside
Squirming Explanations Mark
Latest U. S. Civil Service Moves .
SUPPORTERS of the merit system must all hope that President
Eisenhower made a New Year's resolution to abide by the principles
of that system, In the Inst half of 1954 the President engaged in two
maneuvers that gave merit system advocates the jitters, One was the
Tequirement that promotions to the higher-paying competitive jobs be
cleared through politicians, and the other was the reclassification
‘of the competitive deputy marsha) jobs into Schedule B, which makes
them subject to political appointment.
‘The President has yet to prove how requiring political clearance
for promotion in the competitive service is an example of keeping
polities out of civil service. His action was taken on advice of one
of his assistants, and not at the instance of the U.S, Civil Service
Commission, although when the President needed some pious sup-
port for his argument that an improved Federal service was his
goal, Chairman Philip Young loyally obliged,
In the deputy marshal case, however, the Commission majority
took the initiative, although with the approval of the President. Now
the Commission has to face an embarrassing fact. When a bill was
before Congress, to put the deputy marshals in the patronage class,
the Commission opposed it, Congress, in session after session, has
refused to pass such a bill. How come that when the Commission shifts
jobs to patronage ones, a vice becomes transformed Into a virtue?
Short Shrift and Long Explanation
‘The Commission offers arguments to deny self-contradiction. One
argument, believe it or not, is that in the deputy marshal Jobs the
turnover Is slight; the eligible lists are old, with relatively few re-
maining names; the cost of holding an exam would not be justified.
‘The Commission failed to cite any provision of the Civil Service Act
or its own Rules in which the cost of holding an exam is a valid
reason in turning competitive jobs into patronage jobs,
When politics motivates actions supposedly in the Interest of
elvil service, proof of the purity of motive is hard to come by, and
both the President and the Commission are therefore hard-pressed,
However, in the President's favor, let it be said he has made no move
yet to operate under the Competitive Jobs for Republicans order. All
persons devoted to the best interests of civil service must hope he
never will, as a means of restoring respect that once existed for his
civil service principles,
The Commission, however, voted Its project affecting the 900
deputy marshals, quietly and swiftly, and now that strong objections
are being raised, comes forward with a long explanation. It attempts
to justify itself in a 3,000-word explanation that include the fol-
lowing:
The Senate bill the Commission opposed “would have given a
new marshal the right to dismiss deputies under him during his first
60 days in office. It would in effect have eliminated the removal
protection of the Veterans Preference and Lioyd-LaFollette acts,
“In contrast, all veterans in Schedule B have the benefit of re-
moval protection under the preference act, and non-veterars having
competitive status have removal rights under Commission regula-
tions similar to those provided by the Lloyd-LaFollette Act.
“The Commission opposed enactment of S44, but noted tn tts
report that the method of appointment proposed for deputies in that
bill was similar to the method of appointment to positions Msted in
Schedule B,
“Following its report, the Commission made a survey of deputy
marshal tests, It found that if these positions were to be kept in the
competitive service tt would be necessary to conduct new exams, since
many of the existing registers were obsolete.
"The Commission further determined that, taking into aecount
the small number of positions involved and the very slight rate of
turnover in them, !t would not be economical to undertake the cost
of new exams and setting up new registers,
“Therefore, the Commission, upon recommendation of the De-
partment of Justice, decided to place the Jobs in Schedule B where
incumbents are required to meet minimum qualification standards
set by the Commission and where requirements of veteran preference
mist be met in both appointment and removal.”
If the Commission was actuated, only by concern for veterans,
what was the occasion for all the secrecy over so wholesome a motive?
Why could not the Commission have followed tts policy of giving
advance notice of its intentions Instead of rushing the resolution
through, without notice, and leaving {t for some snooping reporter
to discover that the deed had heen done?
‘The two recent moves Indicate an intent to Inject politics into
Civil Service with a vengeance, Better than White House and Com-
mission denial of this charge would be the rescinding of the political
clearance order, the restoration of the deputy marshal Jobs to the
competitive service, and the announcement of exams to fill future
doputy marshal vacancies.

Subject to
Pension
Suspension
January 1 was the effective date
for the suspension of about 6,000
Soclal Security pensions of em~
ployees of State and local govern-
ment in the State, Almost half of
them are NYC employees. Many
workers in the Transit Authority
are affected.
A new law limits to $1,200 In
any one year the income from
employment or self-employment,
whether covered by or not cov-
ered by Social Security. Previous-
ly pensions were suspended in any
month in which earnings in cov-
ered employment exceeded
‘The new law raised the limit, put
it on an annual basis, but removed
the provision that the income must
be from wages or services in cov-| ty
ered employment. Thus public em-
ployees in jobs not covered by
Social Security, who had that
right subjected to a new limita-
tion.
Escape Is Not Easy
A notice went out on December
4 to Social Security pensioners,
telling them about the new law.
A form was enclosed. The recipient
was to fill it out snd return It
From the answers, the Federal
officials would determine whether
the checks should be suspended.
However, unless the pensioner
gave the Information, the Social
Security Administration had no
means of catching up currently
with the recipients of excess
checks. However, in time, the Fed-
eral agency will be able to catch
up with them, thro required
reports and, if necessary, informa-
tion sources that are secret.
‘Thus many checks will continue
to go out, but the Social Security
agents will demand refund by the
Pensioner not entitled to them,
and in cases of gross violation,
impose a money penalty as well,
How to Figure It Out
Wage earners will be required
to report annually what thelr earn-
ings are, beginning in 1956, The
self-employed, who now must so
report, will continue doing so,
It is on the annual report basis
that the Social Security Adminis-
tration expects mainly to catch
up with offenders. Any whom it
misses through this method would
be spotted through other methods.
The new law adds to the number
of suspensions, and the addition,
in the cited instance, is 6,000. But
there were many other suspen-
sions, under the old Jaw, and also
many recoveries of receipts to
which pensioners were not en-
titled,
Under the new law the suspen~
sion ts for one month for every
$80 In excess of $1,200 earned in
1954, hence the number of months
of suspension {s the quotient of
80 divided into the excess over
$1,200,

IMPORTANT TO STATE, COUNTY, LOCAL INSTITUTION WORKERS
Employees Required to Eat or Live at Place
Of Work Are Entitled to Income Tax Savings
Do you recelve maintenance —
meals or lodging — from the State
of New York or from a county or
local government?
If you do, then this information
fs important to you. It may save
you money, cutting down the
amount of Federal income tax you
ry.
Priortimer Kassel, counsel to the
State Tax Commission, informs
‘The LEADER that the value of
meals and lodging furnished an
institution employee fs expressly
exempted from Income tax, when
the employee gets the maintenance
for the employer's convenlence.
‘This exemption applies to the year
1954. Therefore, {f during the year
you've recelved maintenance, you
ean deduct the value of !t when
you make out your Federal income
tax return,
Mental Hygiene Employees
In fact, some departments are
already helping tn this, Thus, the
State Mental Hygiene Department
has advised payroll officers that
all employees residing in Mental
Hygiene Institutions are there for
the convenience of the State.
‘Therefore all of them are entitled
to deduct the value of mainte-
nance from the amount of deduc~
tion taken off their check for in-
come tax purposes.
Remember this: Under the Jaw,
you are entitled to the deduction
for the full year of 1954, even
though no change was made in
your deductions until the latter
part of the year, and even if your
department didn’t get around to
making the deductions at all, The
burden Is on you to make out your
tax return properly, so that you
get the full benefit of ail deduc-
tons in your favor.
How You Do It
‘The tax returns this year may
be filed any time up to Apri) 15.
You report the full salary received
and then deduct from that the
value of the maintenance you got
during the year, Then you make a
claim for refund of any excess tax
you may have pated.
Hf You Must Be There
If an employee's duties require
him to be in attendance during
meal times, then meals furnished
to him at the institution are ex-
empt from Federal income tax.
ON THE OTHER HAND, if this
employee receives a cash amount
instead of meals, then this amount
must be included in gross income.
Take another situation:
If any employee |s subject to
call at all times, and is therefore
required to live at the institution,

then all meals and lodging fur-
nished to him are exempt from
tax. ON THE OTHER HAND, if
an employee's duties do not re-
quire his constant attendance at
the institution, but he neverthe-
less CHOOSES to live there, then
he must include the value of his
meals and lodging in gross income.
Any cash allowance paid to an
employee in place of meals or
lodging must be included in gross
income. You see how it works:
If you're required to live or eat
in the institution, then you get the
deduction. If you do it by choice,
then you don't get the deduction.
If you work in an institution,
and get your meals and lodging
furnished (which are exempt from
tax), be sure to cheek your with-
holding statement carefully, If it
lodging in your salary, this amount
should be deducted when setting
forth your gross income on your
Federal Income tax return.
Now here’s a tip: In order to
avoid confusion between your
withholding statement and the
amount on your tax return, you
should include an explanation with
your return. The explanation need
merely say: “Meals and lodging
were furnished me for the conven-
lence of the employer and are
therefore not taxable.”

The hottest issue in State prisons today is: 40-hour week

“Let’s look at the record.” All right, let’s look,
The year is 1918, World War I has just ended. In Union
Square, New York City, a group is marching with signs ask-
ing for a 40-hour week. Samuel Gompers and his cigar makers
and the start of the 40-hour week. This was 37 years agol
By 1940, the 40-howr week was generally recognized in
| America. In the past 15 years, the 40-hour barrier has been
!broken by millions of American workers, Notably in the
printing trade, the needle industry, jewelry trade, electrical
trades, all types of construction and offices all over America,
They are now working 35-3714 hours per week. But, in New
York State, The Empire State, 25,000 institutional employees
still work 48 hours per week.
A recent report issued by the Joint House-Senate Eco-
| nomics Committee states in a matter-of-fact way that a 85-86
hour work week will be a reality by 1956. Dr, Grover W,
Ensley, staff director, says this report represents “the best
professional thinking” on the future. Statistics show that
the work week has been reduced and will continue to reduce
at the rate of 0.8 per cent each year. “Fortune” magazine
recently polled 100 top corporations on the chances of a 4-day
week! This indicates the trend today, 35-hour week, 4-day
week, and yet in New York State Government we have still
the archaic 48-hour week,
The employees in State prisons and State hospitals call
upon the newly elected Governor, Averell Harriman, and the
State Legislature to emancipate them and institute a 40-hour
work week at no reduction in pay.

Labor Relations
On the matter of labor relations,
Mr. Harriman was strong, firm and
Precise. He will insist on repeal
of the Condon-Wadlin anti-strike
Jaw, which he bitterly attacked ns
unfair to employees. Republican
legislators are not likely to give
him much support, although some
modification or amendment of the
act may p both houses.
Labor relations machinery will,
however, be strengthened. This
can be done by executive order,
Existing machinery, Introduced
by Governor Dewey, has proven
ineffective. Mr, Harriman’s view
fa this:
“T favor labor relations machin-
ery In which the employees par-
tleipate oe equals with manage-
ment; in which representation te
guaranteed; and through which
every legitimate grievance may be
solved. ‘The ‘steps’ in such ma-
chinery should be aa few as pos-
sible,’
He also advocated the solution
of disputes “through — effective
mediation and fact-finding pro-
cedures,”

TUESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1955
Welcome to
A New Governor
OVERNOR HARRIMAN takes office with the weleome
of civil service employees. His problems will be difficult,
in one sense more difficult than those encountered by Gov-
ernor Dewey — because Harriman has no surplus to start
his administration with, as Dewey did. Yet civil service
employees will expect the new Governor to retain his cam-
paign promises: including the necessity to appropriate suffi-
cient money to assure adequate, equitable pay for all State
employees, an examination into “fringe” benefits, strengthen-
ing of the retirement system, and improved labor relations
procedures. The utmost ingenuity will be required to accom-
plish these ends satisfactorily, and we must hope that there
will be no political counter-pulling between the executive
branch and the State Legislature. For the Legislature has
an obligation here, too.
To Governor Thomas E. Dewey, as he leaves office for
private law practice, we extend our deepest good wishes. The
editorial columns of The LEADER have had occasion to op-
pose policies of the outgoing administration, But we have
not hesitated to analyze the Governor’s own problems, as
fairly as we could, problems which had to be considered as
Mr. Dewey made decisions on civil service matters. Civil
servants made advances under Governor Dewey — they
moved forward in pay, they won the 55-year retirement plan
and other retirement improvements, they attained an equi-
table veterans proference amendment, an increased minimum
for retired aides, and numerous additional advantages. The
area of labor relations was insufficiently developed, although
in actual fact there was almost continuous bargaining and
negotiation between the Governor's representatives and those
of the employees. We feel that, on historical assessment,
Thomas E. Dewey's administration will go down in the books
as a good one, possibly even a great one,
Quick Freeze of Jobs
Rates Some Questions
HE action of the State Civil Service Commission In cover-
ing 28 positions, exempt and non-competitive, into the
competitive class — and gaining for the incumbents all the
rights and privileges of competitive employees — raises a
variety of questions.
Why was this done at the last minute, before an incoming
administration took office?
Why was so little advance notice given of the proposed:
action?
Was there, or was there not, substance to the charge
made by the Civil Service Reform Association, that political
considerations entered Into the action?
Why the hurry, in view of the fact that the Preller
Commission has been studying the entire subject of juris-
dictional classification?
Why was this action done in such a piecemeal, choppy
manner? Why were just a few positions singled out? Why
was this not part of a broad, thorough study by the Civil
Bervice Commission of all exempt and non-competitive posi-
tions, rather than a singling out of a handful of positions,
however meritorious, for individual treatment?
Incidentally, the members of the Temporary Commis-
sion on Revision of the Civil Service Law have already agreed
to recommend to the Legislature changes in the law to over-
ome a Court of Appeals decision holding that an incumbent
fa entitled to the competitive class prerogatives when his
position is transferred to the competitive class. Certainly this
fs subject for fair debate. Commissioner Alexander A. Falk,
s# member of the Preller Commission, says: “The Temporary
Commission, having studied the matter at length, obviously
recognized the dangers inherent in this court decision and
reached the inescapable conclusion that granting competitive
status, upon the reclassification of a job, to an employee who
has done nothing to earn it does violence to the spirit of the
few and undermines the merit system.”

Comment
Tt is not a good idea to coordi-
nate Social Security with the State
Employees Retirement System.
Many employees are able to re-
tire at age 55 under the Stal
Employees Retirement Syste
Under Social Security, the retirs
ment age ix 65, Many people die
before age 65.
Is Social Security sound actu-
arially? Is t not true that the
workers’ contributions are wused
for the expenses of the Federal
government?
The State employees contribu-
tions, under the State pension sys-
tem, are invested in productive
enterprise which {fs actuarially
sound.
Tf we had aw balanced Federal
budget and « gradual Jowering of
the public debt, Social Security
could be of value to State em-
ployees,

This ix just one Brookiynite’s

for the first time, know what its

Possibly including new cars.
The concern expressed by Con-
gressional leaders, while Congress

of Federal workers had better ma-
terialixe this year !n the form of

DRIVERS HEAR ABOUT IT IF THEY GO TOO FAST ‘
AN ELECTRONIC device that sounds a siren warning when drive
ers exceed speed limits has been developed for schoo! zones, recreation
areas, and congested sections, the American Public Works Association
reveals.
‘The warning serves three functions, its manufacturers say: Pirsty
it lets pedestrians know that there is a vehicle coming on at an excess
sive speed, Second, it alerts drivers to the fact that they are traveling
faster than the Jaw allows, And last, it draws attention to traffic law,
violators and thus helps Jaw enforcement officials,
The system can be set to work at spaced intervals. Por instance,
it may be set to work in school zones from the hours of 8 to 9 in the
morning, noon to 1 p.m., and 3 to 4:15 tn the afternoon.
In a school installation, the set-up would be In this fashion: 180
feet before each entrance to the school zone, there would be a sign
reading, “Warning — Audible Alarm for Excessive Speed"; 500 feet
before the zone, there would be another sign reading, “School Zone —
20 Miles an Hour”; and 250 feet before the zone, the Inst sign would
read, “Slow — School Zone Ahead,” Then if a car was still speeding
on entering Lhe zone, the siren would sound,
MAYOR ASKS CITIZENS’ ADVICE
ABOUT 400 persons told the mayor of Denver what they thought
about his administration, after he addressed an open letter to them
through the newspapers asking them to send him suggestions for
clvic improvement, This was an original public relations “gimmick."
The letter was accompanied by a questionnaire which the mayor
asked his readers to clip, 1!) out, and mail to him, The questionnaire
contained the following four questions with spaces in between for
writing:
1. What city services do you believe can and should be made
better?
2, What specific suggestions do you have for betterment?
3. What improvements and repairs are needed in your neighbor
hood? (Do not hesitate to include minor as well as major
projects.)
4. What city-wide improvements and repairs are most needed in
Denver?
Not one “crank” Jetter came in, officials said. A preliminary look
at the returns showed that a number of persons wanted better gare
bage collection, and some wanted more done for street improvementa
and traffic engineering.
The city plans to study the response to the questionnaire and
compile a record of civic Improvements needed throughout the elty.
A second objection will be to eliminate as far as possible the sources
of annoyance and irritation to Denver residents,
Denver has had & suggestion box on the first floor of city hall
for nearly elght years, It ts in the charge of a city employee who also
keeps track of in-person complaints and who helps visitors find the
department or city official they are looking for, But the mayor
launched this new effort because of the belief that valid complaints
and suggestions were not reaching him,

AUGUSTA, Ga., Jan, 3 — The
Increase bill to be submitted to
wsress by President Eisenhower,
with a special message, on Tues-
day, January 11, will provide for
fiat amounts of increase, not per-
centages.
One measure will deal with the
@lassified service, in which the
raises will Increase in amount, as
6 rise, from $125 minimum to
jaximium. The average would
be $216, or 4.9 per cent, but the in-
Greases are not granted on ® per-
@entage basis,
No raise ts proposed in the high-
eat grade, 18, this particular ques-
Mon being left for Congress alone.
The detatls of the postal raise
have not yet been finally worked
out, but the same general plan is
expected to be followed,
‘If Money
‘The postal increases will depend
on ® raise in postal rates, At the
Jast session of Congress the Eisen-
hower administration asked for 4
cents an ounce for first-class mall,
now 3; 7 cents for air mall, now 6,
as well as other postal rate tn-
creases, The same recommenda-
Hons are expected to be repeated,
As the last Congross refuned to

Position may have on postal raises,
The announcement about the
messages was made at the Little
White House by President Elsen-
hower through his secretary, James
C, Hagerty,
Why No Percentages
No across-the-board Increases on
® percentage basis are to be rec-
ommended because the adminis-
tration desires to increase the
spread between grades in which
the responsibilities are at markedly
different levels, especially between
the high bracket grades and the
lowest grades,
No mention was made of any
falses being ted in with @ reclassi
Neation. The President vetoed a
similar raise bill last year because
NO postal rate increases, and no
reclassification, were provided.
Mr. Hagerty aid there would be
“adjustnents,” as Well as assigned
fat amounts of raises for each
grade, By “adjustments” he ts be-
Heved to refer to the curing of in-
equities for employees paid con-| Com
siderably less than their worth,

WASHINGTON, Jan, 3 — Be-
cause of the preponderance of
ployees in lower grades, agere:
annual salary Increases in Grade
3 would total $27,246,300, while
aggregate annual salary increases
in Grade 17 would be $143,200,
The Administration considers
Federal employee pay a high pri-
ority item and has devoted inten-
sive study to the problem In recent
months, said Chairman Philip
Young, of the U.S, Civil Service
ninission.
The Administration will submit
Pay proposals to the new Congress
which convenes next month, Mr,
blir stated that the proposals
woul perk § to provide general pay
Jevels for all arades which will be
mit the Federal Government to at-
tract and retain high caliber em-
ployees, correct inequities in the
present schedules and assure that
as employees are promoted to
higher grades their pay will bear a
more meaningful relation to their
increased responsibilities,
Mr, Young compared the new
Proposal with the pay bill which
was disapproved by the President
Jast August, showing that the new
Proposal would result in a rela-
Uvely even percentage increase
(approximately 5 percent) in all
grades, whereas the disapproved
bill provided for nearly 7 percent
increase in GS-1, and a diminish-
ing percentage of tnerense tn each
of the higher grades. Also, the dis-
approved bill provided » foor of
$170 Increase in the first five
grades and @ coiling of $440 tn-
crease in grades GS-14 through
GS-17, Thus, he sald, the dis-
approved bill would have intensi-
fled rather than corrected existing
Inequitles
CPO Pay Discussed
Groups not covered tn his dis-
cussion include Postal and Foreign
Service employees and employees
of the Department of Medicine and
Surgery in the Veterans Adminis.
All these groups am sa
‘under weeae iene statutes than the
1949 Classification Act, A beep ge
hensive plan to be submit to
Congress by the Administration
will inchide parallel recommenda
tions for these groups,
Although the last Congress pro«
vided for eventual abolition of the
OPC Schedule, Mr. Young included
CPC pay adjustment proposals in
his discussion, since the agencies
haye Boa fev seesampes 1, swenkion
complete action. Consequently,
thousands of Federal workers are
still being paid under CPC rates,
CPC workers will eventually be
transferred into GS grades or into
prevailing wage schedules, Except
for CPC-1 and CPC-2 workers, in-
creases which would be given CPC
employees under the proposal are
large enough to bring thelr pay to
the same level as that offered GS
workers in corresponding grades
under the plan.
Workers in CPC-1 and CPC-2
would receive an average increase
of $75 annually under the proposal
and would be brought up to the
aie a of foi Pentre ding GS
s pay schedule when prcemr
transferred, Those CPC
who are transferred to prevalleaa
wage schedules subsequent to the
effective date of any pay legisine
on would receive the increase
granted under the proposal
in some instances, an addith
adjustment at the time of trans-
fer to conform to prevailing wage
Fates.
Mr. Young remarked that em-
Ployees in the lower brackets are
already receiving salaries closely
comparable to those paid by prie
vate industry for similar work
while workers in middle and higher
grades are not.
He pointed out that in 1928 the
highest paid employee in Grade
15, for example, was paid almost
nine times as much as the lowest~
paid adult employee, whereas to-
day he ts paid jess than five mes
as much, The lowest-paid adult
worker has had salary increases of
124 percent since 1939; the Grade
15 employee, only 35 percent,
In addition to the pay adjust-
ment proposal, the Administration
Js expected to present to Congress
& program for Government health
insurance, Mr. Young ssid. This
will provide for « partial contri=
bution by the Federal Government
as well as for voluntary participa
tion by Federal employees. An ad=
visory group of employee represen=
tatives has been assisting the
Commission in this proposal.

Labor Relations Problems
The Department of Sanitation
fn now the experimental laboratory
for the NYC labor relations pro-
gram,
The city-wide present pro-
gram is an interim one only,
and operating under an executive
order of Mayor Robert F, Wagner,
The Sanitation Department was
chosen because it presents the
toughest problem, has the most
unions, and has its full quota of
intensity of union rivalry,
Problems arose, from the start
in November, and are still arist
‘but are being solved, one after an:
other, or being brought close to
solution, says Daniel Kornblum,
Deputy Commissioner, Department
of Labor, in charge of the program
affecting City employees, Commis-
sioner Joseph E. O'Grady heads
the Labor Department.
Subcommittees Formed
While grievance procedures have
been established in all NYC de-
partments, the functioning of
Joint committees and subcommit-
tees Is being held off, to await the
results of the experiment in the
Department of Sanitation. It is
expected that most of the prob-
Jems that will arise in other de-
partments will be similar to, and
Probably less pronounced than,
those in the Sanitation Depart-
ment.
In the Sanitation Department a

the presiding officer, Louis Freda,
of the Uniformed Sanitation Om-
cers Association, was selected by
Jot, by the employees, to preside
at the January 11 meeting,
The problem of employee rep-
resentation was solved by giving
the employees an equal voice with
Mmunagement, by forming sub-
committees, by limiting union
representation to one member on
& committee, regardless of number
of employees in # union, and by
ruling that no supervisory em-
ployee who is a member of a unit
affilated with a union local that
represents the rank and file, may
represent the supervisors, Hence
the Uniformed Sanitation Officers
Association, allied with one A FP
of L group, will endeavor to ob-
tain an A P of L charter for itself,
The Five Subcommittees
Each subcommittee takes care
of problems of separate groups,
‘The subcommittees, and the per-
centage of organization of em-
ployees in those groups, where
Possible to estimate, are:
1, Sanitationmen, 85.
2. Crafts and skilled trades, 100,
3, Uniformed officers below dis-
trict superintendents, 90,
4, Clerical,
5. Luborers.
Only bona fide labor groups are
recognized, Fringe groups are not,
nor those whose main purposes do
not concern labor problems, Eli-
gibles’ associations are excluded
from the labor relations program,
although Commissioners are en-
couraged to entertain the requests
of such groups, outside the pro-
gram,
Commissioner Andrew W, Mul-
rain is lending full ald to the ex-
periment In his department, and
ig that a regularly estab-
Mshed method produces better re~
sults than an informal and indefi-
nite one,
As 4 matter of policy, the Labor
Department is careful not even to
sive the appearance of trying to
solve problems that are up to the
department affected to solve, such
as budgetary ones.
A First Approach
The principle of exclusive recog-
nitton, as broached in the subcom~
mittee idea, ts the first, approach

All of the pians worked out for
the Sanitation Department re
first thoroughly discussed with
union leaders, Objections at first
‘were numerous,
‘The Joint committee has a mem-
bership of 15, Since management
and labor
employees feared that on a amall
subcommittee they would be out-
weighed, should seven and « half

three. However, the Department
of Labor ruled that on any unit
the voice shall be exactly equal to
that of labor, whether on main | be
committee or a subcommittee,
Numbers of Employees
The subcommittee idea, the De-
partment of Labor belfeves, ts
working out satisfactorily. It is a
device short of exclusive bargat
ing, because to institute the larger
plan would require legislation. If
the Sanitation Department plan
proves successful, such legislation
1s expected to be sought.
The Sanitation Department was
chosen also because of the large
number of employees. They total
13,750, and consist of 10,000 sani-
tationmen, 1,500 employees in the
skilled crafts, 1,000 field officers
(assistant foremen, foremen and
district superintendents); 1,000
clerical, and 250 laborers, The bor-
ough superintendents are classed
with management,
The Department of Labor ts
meeting the problem of union
rivalry head on, because the tra:
sitional program requires a solu-
tion of this particularly knotty
problem. One method !s to bring
proposals before competing unions,
which may even be units of the
same international, and get thelr
agreement before submitting the
propositions to City officials au-
thorized to act on them. This
sometimes includes matters out-
side the labor relations program

ment recognizes that when there | 23}

ment {s caught !n the middle,
The Labor Department says the
subcommittee plan provides «
method for obtaining a quick hear-
ing, and relieves the joint com-
mittee of considering subjects that
are not general.

tem, My State pay of course ex-
ceeds $1,200, Where do I stand now

GFP,

Income from jobs not covered by
Boclal Security was not counted

ed, income of more than $1,200 a
yent, whether from covered or
Mmon-covered job, suspends the
pension.
