MERIT IVIEN
By S ew a rd Brisbane
(ConUnued from Pag* One)
Mary Luciel was born a n Identical twin in
th e largest house in th e sm allest town in Ohio.
At the parochial school where h e r p aren ts se n t
her, Mary developed a deep veneration for th e
M other Superior, a n d hoped some day to be a
nun. B ut she also loved th e fam ily doctor’s
office, and th e desire to become a nurse finally
overcame her.
At 21 she g rad u ated from the Dixm ont Hos­
pital, th ird in a class led by h er sister, Mary
Laurene, who ran k ed h ighest in the hospital’s
history.
They had both become so d ependent on each
other they decided to pa rt, tho ug h it took
courage. Mary Laurene w ent to Cleveland,
Mary Luciel to New York.
S t r a n g e C oinciden ces
Thiereafter a strange series of coincidences
occurred: both got jobs in inferior iiosptals.
Both quit the same day. Next, they entered
M ount Sinai Hospital—one in Cleveland, the
other in New York—the same afternoon.
I t was while working with a specialist in
venereal diseases th a t Mary McGorkey first
realized more was needed th a n medicine to
cure hu m an ills.
“I t was a shock to me to discover w h at an
unwholesome attitu d e people take towards the
entire question of social disease. No m a tte r
how I scrubbed my hands, I felt they couldn’t
be cleansed of the furtive guilt t h a t fouled th e
atm osphere in t h a t doctor’s office. His clients,
most of them well to do, lacked all conception
of the gravity of venereal disease. Even th e
doctor himself was blind to the social implica­
tions of the disease he specialized in. T hank
God.' The public is beginning to wake up a t
last.”
When the bottom fell out of things in 1930,
Mary did orthopedic work for th e Association
for Aid to Crippled Children.
S a w Depression Misery
Home relief was terribly overburdened. She
found so m any in need she often helped from
her own pocket. The drain became so heavy
she began to find herself short of money to
m eet her own needs. Finally, she had to make
a rule never to carry more th a n a few dollars
a t a time.
“I once found a Negro m other, too weak to
leave her bed, trying to nurse her dying baby
from a n empty breast. I saw kids rush for
bread like animals. I th o u g h t it was a queer
world th a t let kids go hungry till they were
twisted w ith rickets, and th en offered them a
nice, shiny brace!”
Her work gave her fits of depression, and her
friends began to worry. They tried to persuade
her to go to th e th eatre. S h e’d beg them to
give h e r the money instead. The d ay-to-day
spectacle of poverty am idst plenty was brought
home to her with stunning force. She re a l­
ized th en th a t something more th a n private
charity was needed.
The n ex t few years Mary McGorkey spent
nursing a t Doctors’ Hospital. In 1934 a wealthy
woman took her on a world cruise. The boat
they sailed on broke out with labor trouble, but
a t the time it m ea n t nothing more to Mary
th a n it did to h er employer, who rem arked ir ­
ritably: “Every time I go around the world
something like this has to happen.”
Got Officers' Guns
Mary claims she makes a wicked cocktail
and th a t w ith it she bewitched the sh ip ’s
officers. W hatever the reason, they soon were
h er friends. S h e’d heard vague rum ors of
strikes before they pulled into San Francisco,
b u t she was bowled over to find her new friends
carrying pistols as they neared the harbor.
“W hat if you should kill someone?” she cried.
They insisted th e guns were “only a precau­
tion.” But she pleaded w ith them , pointing
out th a t they would use the pistols without
thinking if they were slugged or pushed
around. Finally, they hand ed them over.
She put the guns in her bag and left the
boat w ith her clothing slung over her shoulder
in a nightgown.
L ater eight of the men th ank ed her for w hat
she did.
As they docked in Sydney, Australia, she saw
a long black line of strikers lining the w harf,

MERITS OF L YONS LA W
F e w C ivil S e r v ic e la w s h a v e b een so w id e ly discussed «nd
m isunderstood as the L y o n s R esid en ce L aw , passed in 1936
and p u t into effect in January, 1938.
T he C ity C ouncil n o w has before it a bill w hich w o u ld
abolish the law en tirely , but no action on this has been taken.
B orough P r esid en t J a m es J. L yons, w h o authored the m uchd isputed m easure, has indicated that h e m ay attem pt to
amend it soon.
M eantime there are a rg u m en ts for a n d against the law from
groups of employees, men and women on eligible lists, and other?.
Because of m any requests, T he Leader presents a review of the
m easure for the benefit of its readers.
Various groups frequently have urged t h a t the Lyon.s Law be
am ended to perm it the exemption of certain employees, includi}ip:
(1) Those who have been residents but have accepted State a n d
Federal jobs elsewhere: (2) those who have jobs in the city service
which take them out of th e city, such as workers on the Catskill
Aqueduct; (3) those who lived in the city for long periods and left
tem porarily for economic reasons; (4) those who lived in th e city
for 10 years or more a n d left for th ree years or less and later re ­
established residence here.
O ther large employee groups are strongly opposed to any modifi­
cation or ta m p e r ii^ w ith th e existing statute, contending th a t such

SO
JAMES J. LYONS
The Lyons Law
The Lyons Law as originally d rafted three years ago pro­
hibited the paym ent of salary to any public employee who was
not a resident of th e city. Those already in the city service
were required to live in th e city a fte r Jan . 1, 1938. I t also p ro ­
vided th a t no person appointed th e re a fte r could be paid a
salary from th e city treasury unless he had been a resident of
the city for a t least th re e years before his appointm ent.
When the new City C h arter was adopted and old laws recodi­
fied, th e residence requirem ent was changed and a direct pro­
vision was m ade t h a t a person n o t only could n o t receive a
salary, but could no t be appointed until he had gained a th re e year residence in New York City.
However, in th e case of some older employees certain excep­
tions to the strict appliance of the Lyons Law were made. The
Board of E stim ate was given the authority, for example, to
waive residence requirem ents in special cases if the city needed
technical experts or specialists in unusual circumstances.
The Lyons Law does not apply to employees in agencies or
d epartm en ts w hich are n o t strictly a p a rt of the city govern­
m ent. I t does n o t apply to th e T ransit Commission, which is a
state agency, although its employees are paid entirely out of
city funds. I t does n o t apply to jobs in the county services, th e
Board of Education, th e T ransportation Board, the Board of
Elections, th e Supreme, City, Municipal, County and Magis­
tra te s courts a n d other similar agencies. I t is doubtful w hether
it applies to employees of the Municipal "Civil Service Com­
mission.

on the subject of m andatory
increments.
i'.litnnxes Conferenros
D ayton’s announcem ent cli­
maxes a series of conferences
w ith officials of the State, County
and Municipal Workers of Amer­
ica (CIO), whose membership
has long been clamoring for pay­
ment.
The delay in paying the $175,000 has resulted from a lack of
provision for the increments in
the special emergency budget of
the Home Relief Division. Wel­
fare Commissioner William Hodson told The Leader yesterday
th a t he had made such provision
in his budget subm itted in April,
b u t through a m isunderstanding
It was not resubm itted u n til a
s h o rt while ago. The increm ents
have been paid regularly in other
d epartm ents.
The am ount to be paid in the
n ex t few weeks was estim ated by
multiplying the num ber of eml)loyees who were in th e relief
division on July, 1938, by $45.
T his represents the accum ulated
sum th a t will be due by Nov. 15
a t the rate of $10 a m onth, or $120
a year. H enceforth the increases
will be added to regular pay
checks.
Nov. 15 is tlie approxim ate
date of paym ent. The Bureau of
th e Budget, Dayton explained, is
now busy determ ining who will
receive payments. W hen this
survey is completed, he estim ated
it will take th e Finance Dept, a n ­
o th er week to make out the
checks.
Thrvv Court Dvriitions
The three court decisions,
•which will eventually bring about
tlie paym ent of more th a n $1,000,000 in salary increments,
were decided against the city in
recent m onths. They are the
Wexler, Denahy a n d Lewin de­
cisions, each providing a new a n ­
gle to application of th e M an­
datory Increm ent Law,
Dayton reported to th e Board
of Estim ate several weeks ago
t h a t the accum ulation of money
owed by the city to its employees
because of these decisions was
—
Berlc at Anniversary
creating a serious problem, since
no provision for the Increases
exists in the budget. The Board,
however, has as yet taken no
action.
The Wexler decision stated
th a t a n n ual increm ents become
due a t th e anniversary of a p ­
pointm ent, not a t the s ta r t of the
fiscal year, as m aintained by the
city. Under the Denahy ruling,
increm ents shall reach one cent
below the maximum salary in the
classification. Thus, if a salary
is brought to $1,740 through an
increm ent, it may be increased
th e following year to $1,799.99,
even though this m eans a final
increm ent of $59.99, which is be­
low $120,
The Lewin decision entitles
p a rt-tim e employees to the same
Increm ent privileges as their full­
time colleagues.
Under the term s of th e Straus
Bill, now stymied in committee
a t the City Council, the M anda­
tory Increm ent Law would be
am ended to nullify th e Wexler
and Denahy decisions.
Six weeks ago, Dayton ex­
plained, he asked each d e p a rt­
m e n t to subm it a schedule of
money due its employees under
these court decisions. T he de­
p a rtm e n t was also asked to list
economies which would counter­
act such increases in salary, as
Dayton pointed out th a t no p ro­
vision existed for Increases in the
budget. D epartm ents controlling
the m ajority of City employees
have already sent in th eir a n ­
swers, Dayton said.
He would make no guess, how­
ever, as to how soon these incre­
m ents will be paid. No deadline
has been set on the Inquiry to the
departm ents, and he was un cer­
tain as to w h a t action would be
taken should any d epartm ent
feel it could not make th e needed
economies. Added to this delay
will be the work of the exam iners
from the Bureau of the Budget in
checking the claim of each em ­
ployee said to be entitled to an
increment.
