Uncover U. S. Job-Selling Racket
Files of the U. S. Civil Service Commission reveal a n ea t racket
w hich helps candidates to be placed in federal jobs before persons
ahead of th e m on eligible lists. T he crux of the m atter is for

mission w atches It all with an eagle eye so as to protect thoso
who finish h ig h on Civil Service lists. Full details, page 2.

that because of three adverse
court decisions—in the Wexler,
D enehy, and Lewin increm ent
cases—the city faced a deficit of
more than $1,000,000. Cessation
of appointm ents, he m aintained,
would save the necessity of dis­
charging 700-800 city workers.

Sir: State employees, who are covered by the Feld-Ham ilton Act
and who remain as such until they receive their m axim um salaries
according to the schedules, suffered five suspensions of increm ents
and not the one suspension w hich was declared by the Legislature

Strange as it sounds, it is a
truth. It is more surprising

Fired for Union Work
In his day George has seen government labor
organizations change and grow immen.sely.
Back in 1920 he was one of 11 Clerks fired from
the Chicago Post Office on orders of Postma.ster
General Albert Sidney Burleson. T hey were
charged with belonging to a union, and, more­
over, with having asked for higher salaries.
They were reinstated in 1921 by Burlesons
successor. Postmaster General Hayes.
George entered the federal service in 1906,
the year the six-year-old organization of postal
clerks affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor. It was the first group consisting ex­
clusively of government employees ever to
affiliate with a national union.
The young organization’s first big battle, and
perhaps the one which has m eant more than
any other, was the passage of the LloydLaFollette Anti-Gag Law in 1912.
T. R. B a r r e d Unions
In 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt pro­
hibited federal workers from petitioning Con­
gress for salary increases, barring specifically
any representation by employee organizations.
T. R. amplified this in 1906, and President
Taft extended it in 1909 by forbiddin{> em­
ployees even to supply information to Congress,
The Lloyd-LaFollette Act was the answer. It
guarantees the right o l petition.
During his years as head of the N.F.P.O.C.,
George has succeeded three times in liberalizing
the law on retirement for Postal Clerks; and,
am ong other things, has achieved higher sala­
ries; a five-day, 44-hour week; a wage differen­
tial for night work; higher rates for overtime;
liberalization of sick leave and injury compen­
sation; and recognition of the seniority prin­
ciple in promotions.
Even more important, George and the union
have made the merit system "stick” in the
Postal service.
Today George’s job is largely that of a uatchdog of the merit system. He must make sine
that whenever, in an obscure office in the slicks,

Seeks State Aid
in 1940 Demands
A five-point leg islative pro­
gram, flanked by s ix “m inor”

set
forth this w e e k by th e N e w
Y ork T eachers’ Guild as its
m in im u m d em ands for ed u ­

T h e program asks:
1. Legislation providing for
Immediate restoration of fuJl
S tate aid.
2. Legislation preventing dis­
missal of satisfactory kindergar­
ten teachers or any satisfactory,
ra^ularly appointed teachers, li­
brarians, clerical assistants, lab­

m ainten an ce men.
3. Legislation making tenure

place unsound city pension sys­
tem s on an actuarial basis by

groups seeking to violate separa­
tion of state and church,
3. Legislation to extend the

4. Ratification of Child Labor

5. Opposition to legislation
undermining the merit system.
6. Opposition to w aste or u n ­

A deficiency appropriation
to cover either all or part of
the funds eliminated from
State aid to schools in the
1939-40 budget was urged by
the New York State Federa­
tion of Teachers Union this
week in a letter to Governor
Lehman.
Expressing confidence that
Lehm an will fight for full
S tate aid in the coming
budget, the letter continued:
“As we tabulate the effects
of the cut in State aid upon
the schools for the fiscal
year, 1939-1940, we find th a t
even if full State aid were to
be restored by July 1, 1940,
the effect of the loss of funds
for the preceding year will
have left perm anent scars on
the educational system .”

Cam pbell, S u p e r in te n d e n t of
School, a nnounced th at stiff
requirem ents w ill b e recom ­
m e n d ed for all applicants f 6r
attendance officers.
The Board of Education will
vote upon th e chan ges to the by­
laws a t an early m eeting, possibly
when it reconvenes n ex t m onth
following the Christmas recess.
In accordance w ith Civil Ser­
vice procedure, present members
of the city ’s force of 350 atten d ­
ance officers will n ot only remain
in their positions, but will be
given promotion opportunities
without m eeting the new require­
ments. Vacancies, however, will
be filled by candidates fulfilling
severe qualifications.
These new regulations call for
a college degree, w ith courses in
child
developm ent,
behavior
problems, social case work, and
laws of child welfare and com ­
pulsory education. P resent qual­
ifications merely include a high
school diploma and eight sem es­
ter hours in special work.
A ssistant attend ance officers
will have to show two years’ col­
lege study, w ith sociology courses
included. Supervisors of districts
will face the additional require­
m ent of a year’s work beyond the
college degree.

W hen First Isn’t First
A first deputy commissioner is higher in rank than a second
deputy commissioner. At the same time, a clerk, grade 1, ranks
below clerk, grade 2.
A member of the staff of the Municipal Civil Service Com­
mission noted this discrepancy, and determined to do som e­
thing about it.
The result: item No. 6017 on the weekly calendar of the
Commission read: “Recomm ending that some action be taken
by the Commission w ith respect to the numbering of grades
which will provide for ultim ate uniformity in practice through­
out th e entire city service.”
“We have more im portant matters to discuss,” a member of
the Commission said, as the item was duly noted.
