Numerous complaints were received in The L e a d e r office last week against alleged
high-pressure methods of the Sanitation Department and various employee organizations
in forcing the men to purchase winter overcoats. One caller declared that his superior
officer in an uptown district sent him and several other employees home because they had
not purchased the winter overcoats which they are required to wear. He added that his
superintendent threatened to suspend the men unless they made a deposit on the coats this
w eek and presented the receipts.

Who’ll Top Coming
Sanitation L ist?
That's the good nSws today for those who took the biggest, most spectacular exam in
history. The list of those who passed is now scheduled for December 15. For those
who dont make the list, there'll be another test four years from now or sooner, and b e­
fore that time a Fireman exam and a Patrolman exam for New York City—as well as
a variety of State and Federal tests.

POSTMASTER GOLDMAN AND FRIENDS
Mr. and Mrs. Lauritz Melchior, cooperating in the "Mail Early"
drive just before Christmas time last year. With the 1940
Xmas just two months off, Civil Service workers are disturbed
to learn that extra help will be taken on during the holiday
rush without regard for Civil Service standing.

What Makes a Good Social Worker
By (^<miiiiissioner liuvid C. Adie
suite Department of Social W elfare
P a rt II
S PREVIOUSLY indicated, the ability of the social worker to assist applicants in es­
tablishing eligibility for public ji-jsistance requires skill, as w ell as knowledge of the
Law, of the person, and of the community. Within the framework of the Law, to
treat alTapplicants and recipients equitably and at the same time individually implies the
ability to see and gain understanding of the person who presents problems of illness, unem ­
ployment, old age, etc.
The fulfillment of the Law requires that the person’s resources, financial as well as social,
be a matter of inquiry and that his place of residence and settlement be determined. Resi­
dence and settlement data do not affect the need of granting relief, but they fix responsi­
bility for tl]p payment of the cost of assistance on other localities within the State and
frequently indicate the return of those without settlement to other states. The Intricacies
connected with the establishment and determination of settlement are often so complex as
to require painstakingly detailed work and the patient inquiry which the term investiga­
tion connotes.
,^
A
The administration of public
assistance under the Public Wel­
fare Law in New York State is
a business-like, democratic pro­
cedure in which the applicant is
given an understanding of the
administrative agency’s necessity
to function in a prescribed way.
The applicant, as a past and po­
tential taxpayer, and as a cur­
rent indirect payer of taxes, even
though he may be sharing in the
benelits of tax funds in a more
direct way than he himself con­
siders desirable, recogn izes'th e
necessity for investigation when
he is given an adequate explana­
tion and understanding of the
reason for it.

Ellis to Ask Funds
Emil K. Ellis, volunteer coun~
sel to the City Council commit­
tee investigating the Municipal
Civil Service Commission and
its president, Paul J. Kern, will
soon ask the Board of Estimate
to pay him and his staff for their
labors.
“I am terribly handicapped by
the lack of funds," complains
Ellis, "and 1 am now giving this
investigation full time. My p r i ­
v ate clients are already object­
ing."
Ellis feels that his disclosures
of “the loose payrolls’’ in the city
service will actually save the
city considerable money. He is
discusssing with City Council
leaders the advisability of an
appropriation bill to cover his
expenses.
