is 34, single, an d
outspoken. As th e two-fisted
president of th e Civil Service
Unit, whose m embership h e ’s
increased ten-fold in seven
vears, Hughes has his h and s
full.
Hughes’ group is one of
many t h a t has split w ith th e
Civil Service Forum in recent
years. I n 1932 Jack Hughes,
then a custodial clerk in the
city service, gathered a nucleus
of 200 others a nd m arched out
of the Forum.
Today he calls th e Forum
“an organization dom inated by
a politically-minded minority.”
Hughes’ Civil Service Unit,
with more th a n 2,000 members,
is ihe m ost successful of the
groups th a t have dropped out
of the Forum.
Sta rted th e H a rd W ay
Hughes had to start life the
hard way. His parents were
V'>or. ‘7 had th e m ost won­
derful m other in th e world,'*
he says.
“She never had
enough money, hut she made it
do.”
Young Jack Hughes got his
first job as a p rin te r’s devil
when he was 15. His salary
was $25, but he put in so m uch
overtime he often m ade $45 a
week.
At 21, his fa th e r
died. T h a t same year Hughes,
with five orphaned sisters to
support, went to work for a
construction company. W hen
the boom days of 1929 came
along, he was sitting p retty
with a job as chief assistant
time-keeper. Then th e bottom
fell out of the construction
business and he joined th e u n ­
employed army.
Tries Civil Service
He had to start all over
OQain. A fter looking around,
decided to try for a Civil
Service career. Shortly a fterloards he passed a te st for
clerk. He remained on the
waiting list for a year before
got a break,
“T h a t year of waiting was
oleak indeed for a young m an
^ ith five dependent sisters.” He
managed to struggle through
»y working a t any sort of job
” 6 could get.

1,000 ADDED JOBS
FROM P. D. LISTS
By BURNETT MURPHEY
Hundreds of men on the new Police eligible lists, which the
Municipal Civil Service Commission officially promulgated
last Thursday, w ill get jobs in two weeks. Hundreds of others
w ill join the police force, or get special positions in other city
department within six months.
It is expected that 1,000 jobs w ill be filled from the three
lists by n ext March and that at least one of the lists w ill be
exhausted by that time.
Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine’s office announced
late last week that 300 vacancies for Patrolman on Probation
w ill be filled from the Patrolman, P. D., list. Another 100
jobs from the list w ill probably be filled within three months.
At its meeting last week, the Municipal Civil Service Com(C o n tin u e d on P a g e 3)

After Six Months
More than 1,000 men on the
Fireman’s eligible list will get
jobs in the Sanitation Dept,
during the n ext 12 months,
the Municipal Civil Service
Commission announced yes­
terday.
Eligibility requirements for
promotion to Clerk, Grade 2,
affecting 20,000 city employ­
ees, w ill be reduced from one
year’s
experience
to six
months, if a resolution the
Municipal Civil Service Com­
mission w ill pass this week,
receives the approval of the
State Civil Service Depart­
ment.
Under the new ruling of the
City and S tate Commissions s a n ­
itation workers are now in the
competitive class.
However, no Sanitation list ex­
ists. I t will take th e Commis­
sion nearly a year to prepare,
conduct an d grade competitive
exatns for san itatio n men. The
list probably will not be p ro ­
mulgated until late in 1940.
In th e m eantim e, all existing
vacancies, and all others which
occur will be filled from fire eli­
gibles.
The resolution also will wipe

As soon as he was appointed custodial clerk,
Hughes joined th e Civil Service Forum. He
th o u g h t t h a t in joining a group with the em ­
ployees’ interests a t heart, h e ’d be helped in
winning rapid promotion. He became a dele­
gate, later vice-president of his council of 191
clerks. In 1932, he walked out of the Forum,
taking along his 191 colleagues,
“The Forum is badly organized. Men with
different jobs are fretjuently in th e same coun­
cil. A delegate representing tra n sp o rt work­
ers m ay be a clerk with no und erstan din g of
the needs of those he represents . . .
“Many top men in the outfit are political
wheelhorses, totally un interested in th e wel­
fare of Civil Service workers and th e m erit sys­
tem. They represent a n all-powerful m inority
against which a delegate has no voice,”
Hughes has been President of th e Civil Serv­
ice U nit ever since it pulled out of the Forum.
Since then other similar groups have been
formed.
Restored 3,50 0 Jobs
Led by the Civil Seivice Unit, these organ­
izations have been able to restore at their
form er rate of pay, some 3,500 clerks suspended
during the depression years. They also were
successful in persuading th e New York State
Assembly to extend the life of preferred clerk
lists from two to four years.
Chijsf grievances of Civil Service U nit m em ­
bers today are: (1) th e lack of promotion in
the service; (2) th e reclassification attem p ts
of the present municipal commission.
“When an employee dies,” Hughes says, “the
first m an on the promotion list should get th e
job. This doesn’t always happen because the
job is frequently throw n out and th e position
given to a m an in the grade below w ithout pro­
motion or salary raise,”
Economy attem p ts by the budget director
have reduced prom otional opportunities, he
adds.
For example, when a fifth grade clerk e a rn ­
ing a salary of $4,600 a year was dismissed for
theft, his job was given to a second-grade
clerk whose salary was $1,800. T h a t the new
m an happened to be com petent enough to
handle his new job was no excuse for leaving
him a t his old pay, Hughes contends.
Reclassification Issue
Hughes’ concern over th e reclassification is­
sue is more controversial. He sympathizes
loith the Commission’s efforts to m ake classi­
fication more rigid and exact in order to limit
the power of th e big shots in various depart­
ments, ichose practice, he charges, has been to
juggle jobs for the benefit of their favorites.
But he feels th a t in frequent cases the result
has been a deletion of m a n y grades. “I t ’s a
m a tter of our getting together and thrashing
this thing out.”
Although strong in his belief th a t Civil Serv­
ice workers m ust unite in organizations Indpend ent of political coercion, Hughes opposes
th e CIO an d AFL unionization am ong Civil
Service employees.
“W hat if there were a general walk-out like
they h a d in England in 1926? W hat should the
governm ent worker do th e n ? ”
He is strongly opposed to th e CIO and AFL
practice of appointing non-civil service work­
ers to key positions in Civil Service unions. He
dismisses th e argum ent t h a t men outside the
service, because th eir own Jobs a re n ’t a t stake,
are best fitted to represent the needs of gov­
e rn m e n t workers.
Hughes himself receives no salary for his
work in the Civil Service Unit, a n d doesn’t
th in k he should be paid.
Says he; “The th an k s of my fellow member*
is enough.”

Fear w as expressed
th a t such
action would iiltimalely le.nd to day
school firsi assistants and teach ers
getting night and s u m m e r school asfrignmcnts with no add itio n al pay
and w ith ou t re g ard for the resulting
physical strain of long hours.
L ack of educational funds last

The Jo in t Cotnm lttee's sta te m ent
m ain tain e d tliat the assignm ent of
day school principals was illegal on
two ground.s, violation of the p r i n ­
cipals’ rights and violation of the
d ua l job law.
“ M oreover," the sta te m en t con­
tinued, “ the practice is unsound be ­
cause it ignores the m erit system of
uppointm ent, by which persons on
n ig h t school principaKs’ eligible lists
■would receive tliese positions. Inite a d it m eans the schools with u n ­

Restoration of the salaries of
teachers a.ssigned as heads of high
.school annexes and as a d m in istraI tive assistants in high schools was
also u rged by the Jo in t Com mittee.
Salaries of these two classes w ere
reduced recently as a Board of E d u­
cation economy measure.
The comm ittee adm itted that the
Board was within its rights w hen it
w ithheld customary additional pay
to these teachers because of th eir
supervisory duties.
“However, it is u n fa ir for the
Board of Education," the com m ittee
declared, "to take a d v an ta g e of a
legal technicality to exp lo it ad m in is­
trativ e a.ssistants and heads of a n ­
nexes by depriv in g them of th e ir
full salaries despite the fact th a t

tion which would have waived
experience requirements alto­
gether, but the Commission is ex­
pected to reconsider the amend­
ed resolution.
If it is approved the Municipal
Commission will re-advertise th e
Clerk, Grade 2, promotion test,
slated for Nov. 18.
By this change, 2,500 addi­
tional clerks are m ade eligible
for the test. The estimate of
those affected by t h e new ruling
runs into trem endous numbers,
as the entire base for promotion
tests is doubled.
Under th e proposed change of
regulations, any employee in the
competitive class earning less
th an $1,800 is eligible to take pro­
motion exams for Clerk, Grade 2.
As soon as th e Municipal Civil
Service Commission passes the
new resolution, it is expected th a t
Mayor LaG uardia will give his
approval and send it to th e State
Commission for final action.
