was struck by a Dodge car,
plate number 32-81-30. The

ner as he loas cutting out of a
side street (49th St.).
The Dodge car suffered a
broken fender, smashed radi­
ator, broken front axle on the
left side, and broken right

ment. Klein went home for
the day. Patrolman William

gibles in the Fire. Dept. However, the day
before th e Fire eligible list was published, 197
m en on the Police list were appointed to the
Fire Dept.
Last Summer, w hen the old Police list expired
Quinn and his group attem pted to have their
list used for Police appointm ents, but the com­
mission turned thum bs down on this, saying
there was a variation in physical requirements
for the positions.
Quinn’s association is made up of about 4,000
of the rem aining 5,000 men on the list. It's the
largest group of eligibles in the city. T h eir
biggest problem is to get jobs for members
while they are w aiting for regular appointment.
Some of the members now worlc at WPA jobs
others have only part-tim e work.
W o rld 's Fair Took 4 5 0
Quinn sold the World’s Fair m anagem ent on
th e idea of using the Fire eligible list for posi­
tions as Special Police last Spring. About 450
m en were placed a t $30 a week. Eighty of them
will be retained this Winter.
Last m onth, through efforts of Quinn and
others in the association, the Municipal Civil
Service Commission decided to use the Fire ii.n
to fill vacancies in the Sanitation Dept. As a
result about 500 men will g et jobs in the next
year.
Several times Quinn has gone to Albany and
lobbied to have labor jobs switched to the com­
petitive cla.ss. And on every occasion his efforts
were directed towards getting as m any po.sitions as possible declared appropriate ^ r the
Fire list, which expires in 1941. Before that
time, unless it is used for other positions, about
1 ,000 m en will g et jobs.
But if there are any chances th a t the list
will be used for other purposes, Ed Quinn is
more than likely to be on the spot trying to
sew up jobs for his fellow members.

Federal M essengers
Please let me congratulate you on the nottworthy innovation of your Complaint Corner.
Your publication, since its inception, has been
outstanding as a truly representative or^ian,
expressing the needs and views of Civil Service
employees.
I would like to take this opportunity to voice
a com plaint against the desperate condition
faced by federal messengers in the local field
service. The Junior and Assistant Messenger
list was promulgated in April, 1937. Certifica­
tions were made for the Junior Mesenger posi­
tions at a salary of $600 a year (approximately
$ 1 2 a w eek), w ith no im mediate prospects for
promotion except a possible future certification
as Assistant Messenger a t $1,080 a year.
To further aggravate this situation, the fed­
eral commission arbitrarily rescinded a former
order, reversed its stand, and summarily dis­
qualified Junior Messenger appointees from
eligibility to Assistant Messenger certification.
This dealt a crushing blow to any hopes we
m ight have had toward a brighter future.
Our only solution is to bring to light the p r e ­
cariousness of our position through the m e d i u m
of a publication such as the Civil S erv ice
Leader and perliaps, finally, to obtain the s.vmp athetic treatm ent so vitally needed by the
lowest paid group in governmental service.

Sanitation Exams
While reading The Leader of Oct. 24, I no­
ticed the article pertaining to promotion exanfis
for Sanitation Man, classes A, B and C.
Since the reclassification of titles, I was a u to ­
matically put in Class B, which is my correct
standing according to my previous title S w e e p ­
er. My objection to the new promotion test
Class C is that there are 1,000 or more men in
the Sanitation Dept, who have passed Auto
Truck Driver tests. This title is now in class
C, and the men are working under Class B titlesWhy waste time and money to hold a new test
for Class C w hen there are eligibles w h o
anxiously waiting for this promotion?
I am hoping The Leader will publish this
com plaint in order to bring some light to our
Civil Service Commission.
S a n i t a t i o n M a n B-
Ed. Note: The eligible list noto in existence
tor Auto Truck Driver was established for
class jobs and cannot be used for the
Sanitation Man. Class C, according to
Municipal Civil Service Commission.
