Mead Confider\t
Of SaBary Raise
For U.S. Workers
W A S H IN G T O N . - The Senate
Civil Scrvice Com m ittee, uncled
the leadership of Senator Jim
Mead, has reported favorably the
A d m in istra tio n ’s uniform over­
tim e pay plan and Mead has infoi-med The L E A D E R that h e ’s
certain the Senate will approve
th e bill in short order.
The com m ittee
rejected the
postal em p lo y ee s’ dem and for a
fla t 10 per cen t w ag e boost. The
postal w orkers w h o c a n ’t work
overtim e will be paid a flat 10 per
c en t bonus but all others would
•work a m in im u m 44-hour w eek
e n d collect tim e a half for the ad­
ditional four hours like all other
F ed er a l workers. But postal w ork­
ers throughout the nation are
co n tin u in g their fight.
E m p loyees w ho c a n ’t work ovei*tim e would get a 10 per cent fncrea se. The law would becom e ef­
fe ctive October 1, w h ich m eans
tha t 40 per cen t of the Federal
em ployees who a r en ’t now paid
overtim e would g e t a fat paycheck
fo r the overtim e already piled up.
O vertim e would be paid on the
fir s t full $2,900, and em ployees
earn in g over that am oun t would
be paid overtim e only on $2,900.
B u t d o n ’t sta rt sp en ding your in­
crease now ; the bill faces a stiff
fig h t in the H ouse even if it gets
by the Senate.

To Wear Slacks; The Boss Says So
By AR THU R RHODES
Slacks for the g irls in th e V et­

d re a m some few days ago, this
w eek bccame a s ta rtlin g reality.
T he g irls m ay w ear all th e slacks

You have th e approval of th e big
boss him self— efficient, efferv es­

T h e L E A D E R several days ago
Btarted to poll the girls of the V et­

the
qu estion of w h eth er or not they
would prefer w ork in g in slacks
.*iince w e
had
found considsiderable sen tim en t for such dress
a m o n g the em ployees. In view of
th e alarm ing disappearance of ny­
lon and rayon hose and especially
be c au se the use of ank let sto c k ­
ings would call for sla cks as a
m ean s o f keep in g
the you n g
la d ies’ k n ee s w arm during winter,
m a n y o f the girls say slacks
m ig h t be the only answer.
Out of 80 girls polled on the sec­
ond floor, 77 prom ptly cam e out
for slacks; in fact, the fe w n eg a­
tive voces w ere m ainly from those
girls w h ose figure (and they ad­
m itted it!)
w o u ld n ’t w arrant
slacks. Of course, a num ber of
boys d id n’t care even a m inim um
for the idea but, then, they
w e r e n ’t being polled.
The se v e n th floor w a s n ’t rabid
for the idea, but the fifth floor
w a s - v e r y m u ch so. So it w’ent—
slack s for all the g irls—for econ­
om y and fo r com fort and for
w a r m th and, too, for w ar bonds.
F or the m o n ey saved on hosiery
could buy ’em %var bonds.

H ow ever, The

learned th a t the fifth floor girls

D u ring the past fe w days the
girls on the second floor have
beon draw ing up a petition, too,
w ith ou t k n o w in g the fifth floor
had already done the sam e thing.
Sit me Opinions
Here are a fe w opinions from
the second floor:
The d ashing you n g lady w-ith
the flam boyant eyes and the
auburn curls m ade grotesque g e s­
tures and announced quite proud­
ly: “ Oh, d e fin itely !” She m e a n t
she w an ted slacks. In fact, it w as
and is alnaost an obsession w ith
her.

And she added: “ The psycholo­

Mr. R ossell explained.
The de­

In this connection th e outlook
is apparently good for the subs.
They \vere g iven to understand
th a t a large num ber of war jobs
requiring little or no industrial ex­
perience w’ill soon be open.
M ust D e ter m in e Importance
The question as to just how subs
can be transferred to such jobs
w ill be answ ei’cd w h en the Civil
Service C om m ission determines
“ the relative im portance to the
w a r effort of the Governm.ent ac­
tiv ities in w h ich the employee has
been e ngaged as indicated by,;
am o n g other considerations, pi'i*
ority classifica tions as set up by
th e Director of the Bureau of

9243.”
F ortu nately for th e subs, the
P o s t O ffice ranks lower in tho
priorities scale tha n an e s s e n t i a l
war industry. Consequently, they
expect to m ak e h ead w ay in the

m e n ts to regular post office jobs
or furloughs to Avar industry.

cases of departm ent heads who
refused to talk to em ployees, de­
nied them the right to get to ­
gether, denied them m any othete lem en tary rights. It w a s point­
ed out that the em ployee n e gotia­

th in gs over,” and tha t nobody was
intending to take aw a y control of
the departm ents from c o m m is­

H owever, to m eet on emploj’^ee

sim.ply because th e y work for

Other
points m ade: the bill is im portant
for em ployee morale; S ta te em ­
ployees are perm itted to m eet
w ith
their
departm ent
heads
through an order of the Gover­
nor; equality
of
opportunity

Sub-Standard Group
The proposal for a flat $180
boost for all city w orkers earning
less than $1 ,2 0 0 w as decided upon
because theae em ployees fall into
a sub-standard group. A 15 per
c en t increase would not be su ffi­
cient to enable them to m eet the
higher cost of livin g and the bur­
den of h eav y taxation. F or all of
these groups. B igel said, the w age
increase would be in addition to
m andatory increm ents.
B igel em phasized the import­
ance o f w a g in g a sim ultaneous

dem ocratic

this way, Bigel said, city em ­

The program also calls for the
restoration of the 5-day w e e k and
the paym ent of tim e and one-half

em ploys only a sk eleton crew on

r e g a r d in g its recent ru lin g reduc­
ing the sa lary of te a c h e r clerk
and senior clerk su b stitu te to
$5.50 p er diem.
“ W e are at a loss to understand
this action at a tim e w h en th e
cost of living is risin g steadily and
people on fixed salary sc h e d u lfe
are feelin g a cutely the d w in dling
p u rchasin g power of their earn­
i n g s ,” a letter from the A ssoc ia­
tion to the Board declai’ed.
I t added that the B o ard ’s “ a p ­
parent policy of retren ch m en t to­
w ards clerics has been felt keenly
by them a ll” for som e tim e now,
that the low salary schedu le of
junior scliool clerks, lack of pro­
m otional opportunities for teach er
clerks and junior school c l ^ k s ,
and the recen t denial o f sab batical
leaves to clerks have had “ a
serious effec t on their m orale and
on their desire to rem ain in the
school sy s t e m .”
T hen it added: “ F urtherm ore,
a week. At the present time, city
em ployees are required to work
5 1-2 and 6 days a w eek w ith o u t
extra com pensation. F or per diem
workers, the union is a sk in g for
a six-day week.
W ar Leave
In addition to these wage and
hour proposals, the union pro­
gram provides for a liberalization
of the c ity ’s war leave policy. Al­
though E x ecu tive Order 14 issued
by the Mayor authorizes depart­
m ent heads to grant lea ves to city
em ployees offered jobs in w ar in­
dustries, v ery few lea ves have
been granted outside the W elfare
D epartm ent.
Other plans in the union pro­
gram are: the sp eedy use o f all
prom otional lists, upward reclassi­
fication of the c ity ’s tech nical
services, e stablishm ent of the
m erit sy stem in the Law D epart­
m ent by elim ination of exem pt
job-holders, and “ the esta b lish ­
m ent of joint em ployee-m anagem ent c om m itte es in all city de­
partm ents, to heighten efficien cy
and to improve the c it y ’s role in
the w ar effort.'*
at a tim e w h en the in cen tives o f ­
fered by Federal civil service as
well as private ind ustry have al­
ready drawn m an y regularly ap­
pointed clerks as w ell as su b sti­
tu te s out of the school .system, the
reduction in salary can only se r v e
to a g g r a v a te this difficu lt situ a ­
tion .”
The letter, callin g for restora­
tion of salary levels, and correc­
tion of tiie “ critical clerical situ a ­
t io n ,” is signed by H elen B erm an ,
president of the a ssociation.

The Com m ission, in o ffe rin g an

In sistin g that the Board has re­
vealed ‘i i t t l e u n derstand in g and

that the real incom e o f transit

w h ere it c annot be considered
as providing a livin g w age.
“ The Board of T ran sp ortation ,”
said Mr. M acMahon, “ has not only
failed its em ployees; it has failed
th e nation, too. Im m ed ia tely after
the a tta c k on P earl Harbor, the

plan for joint labor-m anagem ent

increased em ployee efficiency, an~
full utilization of the facilities of

“ bu siness as u su a l” continues to
prevail.
H e added that w ag e a d ju stm ents

A L B A N Y — Hcindreds of S ta te

a re p re p a rin g to re tu rn to p riv a te

Dewey, th e Republican candidate
f o r Governor, is elected. Some,
a n tic ip a tin g t h a t ev entu ality , a l­
re a d y have scoured the c o u n try
fo r o ther jobs.
B u t even if D e w e y sh ouldn’t be
elected and John J. B ennett, th e
D e m ocratic nom inee should, there
w ill still be a huge turnover in
personnel. N o m atter w ho is the
n e w Governor, a big shake-up la
certain. The n ew Chief E x e cu tiv e
probably will replace m ost of the
p resent departm ent heads, accord­
in g to the best available inform a­
tion from both camps.
Som e Can’t B e Touched
T here are som e ’w h o c a n ’t be
touched, like D avid C. Aide, Com­
m issioner of W elfare, chosen by
th e State Board of Social W elfare
w h o se 15 m em bers are appointed
by the Governor for over-lapping
term s of five years. Chairm an
Milo R, Maltbie of the Public Ser­
v ice Comm ission, w hile designated
as chairm an by the Governor, has
un til 1951 to serve before term i­
nation of his 10-year term . The
C om m issioner o f
E du cation is
chosen by the Board of R e g e n ts
and Is beyond reach of the Gov­
ernor.
H im dreds o f Changes
B u t aside from such exceptions
a s these, the new Governor will be
em pow ered to
m ak e virtually
hundreds of changes. M any of
these, in addition to the top-flight
departm ent heads, include hea d s
of bureaus and divisions w ith sal­
aries r an gin g from $5,000 to $10,(KK). F ro m one to four or five
deputies will be a ffe cte d in virtu­
ally every departm ent a s well as
attorn eys an d special tech nical
assista n ts.
T h e term o f Miss Grace A.
R eavy, chairm a n o f the State Civil
Service C om m ission, expires on
F eb ru ary 1, 1943, and it is consid­
ered doubtful th a t Mr. D ew ey ,
should he be Governor, would
reappoint her.
Miss F rie d a S.
Miller, co m m ission er o f the D e ­
pa r tm e n t o f Labor, is sure to go
for her departm ent, like th e one

Wp dropped in for a little talk
,h \dcle Wybrant who runs a
‘rc.storation salon at 1674
1 Rrnadwaj'. Miss Wybrant is a loveh- vounir lady who hails from Den­
ver F o r years she did research in
' *he bio-chemistry of falling hair
i 'nd finally evolved a process which
she c l a i m s
can make hair grow.
Watching her work w as pretty
i much l i k e gathering evidence for a
I trial One of her first steps is to
photcciaph you and mark the pic­
t u r e "before."
If at the end of the
trea'ments she can't slrow you a

substantially
more hair visible, you don’t have
to pay her. The men who came in
were from every walk of life.
There were enough happy faces to
oonvinoi* us that she w as doing a
} pood job.
Tip for
Beaiiticians-to-he
I
at least, is the opinion of Mme.
Marie C. Dow, founder of the Ritz
Beauty School, 1358 Fulton Street,
Brooklyn. She has been training
students for the last ten years in
the art of every branch of beauty
culture, hair-styling, scalp treat­
ment, etc.
SeveVal diplomas , from leading
beauty colleges in the possession
of Miss Dow, substantiate the fact
that a course at this school offers
thorough and complete training,
filling each student with the back­
ground and confidence so important
in the profession.

Speak for Yourself
Good speech as a career asset is
stressed in the courses of M. Su­
zanne MacKay, director of the
Studio School of Creative Speech,
Miss MacKay claims that there
are many fields W ' h e r e the ceiling
on advancement i» considerably
lowered because the employee does
not have the proper ability to ex­
press
himself
forcefully.
She
points to politics and to govern­
ment service particularly in this
respect, because a Civil Service
employee who wishes to rise to an
administrative position must be
able to face an audience with
maximum expressive ability.
Miss MacKay is a brilliant speak­
er and an unusual teacher oi
speech. She has been counsellor for
many organizations, director o f a

Congressm an R obert R a m sp e ck
of Georgia, Chairm an of the
H ouse Civil Service Com mittee,
has introduced a resolution g iv in g
the Civil Service Com m ission au­
thority to i n v e s t i ^ t e the n eces­
sity for filling Federal positions,
the number of em ployees, and de­
partm ental personnel practice.^.
Although the Com m ission is the
central recruiting a g e n c y for the
various Federal departm ents and
agencies, it now has no auth ority
to question their dem an d s for ad­
ditional workers.
Op Septem ber 28 the Civil Serv­
ice C om m ission reported to the
P resid en t and to the C ongress on
the in te i-a g e n c y tran sfers m ade
under the E xecu tive Order issued
last F ebruary g o v e rn in g civilian
recruitm ent.
The
report
w as
called for by a rider to an appro­
priation bill a sk in g for an investi­
gation of the transfer system
after charges had been m ade that
certain agencies had been “ pirat­
in g ” em ployees o f other agencies.
The C om m ission found that “In a
great m ajority o f cases, the cause
of the transfer has been the press­
ing need of the gov ern m en t serv­
ice as a whole, and of the war
agen cies in particular, for e m ­
ployees skilled in occupations
which have become critical in the
w ar labor m arket. H ow ever, there
have undoubtedly been instances
w here a gen cies used their discre­
tion to fix salary rates in the field
service for the purpose of outbid­
ding one another for the service
of personnel. . . . ”
“ T housands
of
F ederal em ­
ployees are w o rk in g below their
high est skills. Thou san ds of F ed ­
eral em ployees are usin g their
high est skills for a very sm all per­
cen tage of the w ork in g day. This
is a w aste of m anpow er a t a tim e
w h en the country can ill afford to
indulge in such practices. F u r­
thermore, such conditions result
in a lowering of morale am ong
go vern m en t em ployees at a tim e
w h en morale should be a t its
high est peak. E m p loy ees w an t to
m ake the m a xim um contribution
to the w ar effort. T hey becom e
discouraged w h en m an agem en t
denies them tha t op p ortu nity.”

... to safeguard New York’s
Electric, Gas, and Steam Service
To provide New York with utility service. . . safely and dependably at all times
. . . is one of the biggest and most responsible jobs in the world today. The
fact that Consolidated Edison has grown and planned ahead throughout the
years to meet the ever-growing demands of our great City i s . . . may we say
with all modesty . . . the best assurance of continued performance and protec- *
tion of this vital service during these critical times.
As New York City is one of the key points in the nation’s battle of pro­
duction, it is our chief wartime job to keep our facilities always ready— ‘
always available.
Back of the generating plants, the transmission lines, the fuel and other
supplies, stands an organization of men and women trained in the traditions
of public service, and ready now to safeguard that service, so far as humanly
possible, against any hazards that war may create.
Here are some of tlie things we are doing to m eet possible em ergencies
! ■ In addition to its own network of power lines, supplied from many large
central station plants throughout the City, Consolidated Edison has provided for
an interchange of electric and gas supply from several sources—when required.,
Automatic devices help to protect our service against possible interruption.
2 . No group of workers has had better training than Consolidated Edison
employees in meeting unforeseen emergencies. To this training we have added
special instruction, in the case of certain mobile units, for making speedy repairs
to mains, pipes, and cable damaged by bombs.
3 a In case of an air raid or widespread sabotage, the emergency forces of all
utilities serving New York City would be on the alert. Many months ago, New
York’s public utilitiej unified their emergency mobilization plans in cooperation
with the Citizens* Defense Corps —Mayor LaGuardia, commander—Public
Works Emergency Division, M ajor Irving Huie, division chief. The badge
shown at the right will be worn by all u tility ,emergency employees when the
occasion requires.
4 . Special emergency stations have been set up in strategic locations covering
the entire City, at which complete tool equipment, supplies, and repair kits are
made quickly available to flying squads of trouble shooters. Our emergency J
organization, consisting of more than 5,000, has been developed and trained so
that competent workers can perform needed tasks quickly without supervision;/
m
m
5 . To prevent possible sabotage, special means have been provided to safe-"|
guard all power stations and to detect prowlers aroimd buildings, docks and
yards belonging to the Company. W ith the C ity’s permission, certain street<f'
adjoining Company plants have been fenced off for the duration;^
^
•"
6 . Every employee of the System, officials included, has been flnierprlnted an4
his record carefully checked; 97% have been with us longer than five years. A ll
employees must be identified to enter plants of the Company, as well as w heii'
moving from one zone to another within the p lan t. ; ; Every package and vehicl# \
is thoroughly searched.
7 . To help us respond promptly to air raid alerts, not one, but several warning
systems and signals have been installed at our central service bo^ds. Even ^
before the first official blackout tests, nightly trial blackouts and dim-outs wera^f
practiced in our plants. Special precautions have been taken, and experimenti ^
are now under way to provide further protection for those who must stay on
job duiing a raid.
