At the hearing before the Senate

proposed over-tim e pay bill for
F ed eral em ployees, Civil Service
Commi.«»sionor Arthur S. F le m ­

bor there has been a turnover rate
In the Federal civic sei’vice gener­
a lly of 42.5 percent, and in the de­
partm ental service at W ash in gton
o f 83.5 percent. In the entire
sei-vice during this period 1,.536,360 placem ents were m ade, of
w h ich 784,000 were to now posi­
tions and 551,000 to fill vacancioa.
In the offices located at W ash in g ­
ton there were 189,000 p lacem ents,
of which 117,000 were to fill va ­
cancies. Com m issioner F le m m in g
urged passage of the over-tim e
pay bill, w h ich would correct;
“ g larin g and unfair in eq u a lities”
w h ereby 58 percent of B’ederal
em ployees are entitled to overtim e
pa y m e n ts for hours w orked in ex­
c ess of their basic w ork-w eek,
w h ile the other 42 percent are
not; chargin g that the excessive
turnover w as partly due to these
Inequalities.

But financial inequalities are t)v
no uieuna the sole explanation of
the situation. The ilact iu that
tnouaanua of Jb'eUeral employees
have come to W ashmgton with the
earnest desire to help the war eifort and have been assigned to
'made” jobs in which, all too fre­
quently, there has been little or no
useful work to do. Some of these
e^mployees have cleared out of the
Capital and gone back home with
tales which, we are assured, con­
vince local communities that all
they hear about the Washington
muddle ’ Is only too true. As a re­
sult, not only the war morale of
former Federal workers but that of
persons with whom they come in
contact is impaired. As for employees who stick it out here, many
h
have apparentlv shopped

How the Elections Affect
Civil Service Employees
WASHINGTON. — Last week’s
elections that saw the Democrats'
control badly shaken in Washing­
ton will have its effects—and
plenty of them—on the nation’s
2,600,000 civilian employees.
First and most important re­
action is that action on the bill
to raise the incomes of Federal
employees will be delayed until
after the new Congress takes
over in January. It is £;eneraUy
believed here that Congress will
only mark time and put off all
decision;? that can be postponed
until after the New Year.
The n ew Congress, W a sh in gto n
observers say, will dem and more
out o f Federal ag e n c ie s and Gov­
ern m en t workers ge nerally. T o
be specific, it will dem and more
effic ie n t operations. T he em ploy­
ees, of course, w ill w e lco m e a n y ­
th in g a lo n g th a t line, and are in
the forefront of a n y m o v e m en t for
in creasin g efficien cy.
Longer H ours
L onger hours for F ed eral w ork­
ers also are right a round the c o r ­
ner. The len gthened w ork w e e k ,
how ever, w o n ’t be confined to
F ed eral workers,* but w ill a f fe c t
all w ar w orkers generally. T here
se e m s to b e ^ o question th a t th e
n e w Congress w ill sh o w a trend
to the right, and m ost people n o w
believe it will sh ow little r esp ect
for th e 40-hour w ork w e e k .
P a y Q uestion Critical
T he p a y question Is b ecom in g
critical in W ash in g to n. On Ja n u ­

T w e n ty percent will be taken
o u t o f the pa y c h e c k s before the

Those of us who read your
article in last week’s issue of The
LEADER cannot help but wonder
whether you are an employee of
Veterans’ Administration for, in
your attack upon the supervisory
system, you completely failed to
take all the issues at hand into
consideration. Repeatedly, you
laid emphasis on the Grammar
School strategy used by those in
charge to handle their subordin­
ates.
Since you persist in draw ing
t h a t analogy, let m e say th a t it ’s
a w ise “ tea ch er” w h o condu cts

Subway Union Demands
\e w Labor Policy
Warning the citizens of New
New York that their transit sys­
tem is “in danger of break-down”
because of the “reactionary labor
policy” of the Board of Trans­
portation, the Transport Workex’.s
Union last week appealed to the
people of the city to demand that
Mayor LaGuardia take action to
avert a serious crisis.
The TWU appeal to the people
of New York, headed “Will the
City’s Transit System Do Its Part
in the War Effort?” was pub­
lished in paid advertisements in
several metropolitan newspapers.
C harging that the dim -out In the
subw ays, “ the only project related
to the w ar effoi’t ” undertaken by
the Board of Transportation since
P earl Harbor, “ alm ost blinded its
six million p a s se n g e rs ,” the union
a sser ts tha t had the Board ac­
cepted its offers of cooperation
the public would be spared the
“ discom fo rt and Injury” o f poor
ligh tin g. In addition to the “ dis­
m a l fa ilu re ” of the dim -out sy stem
the Board is a ccused o f rejecting
“ every constructive proposal m ade
by the Union for joint laborm a n a g e m e n t conservation of crit­
ical m aterials, increased em ployee
efficien cy , air-raid protection and
full utilization of our tra n sit fa ­
cilities for the w ar e ffo r t.”

bility for “ dem ora lizin g” and “ d is ­

even the Board thought at first
it could use. Ttae jobs are only
in the BMT.
A total of 334 railroad clerk

14 Gals Appointed
To Police Dept.*
Fourteen gals on the policewoman list have been appointed
to the Police Department, hallelujah! The gals had been working hard for appointment, and
had even had a sympathetic word
from Butch in City Hall, but privately a lot of them said that they
felt it was hopeless. Most of them

blamed it on Commissioner Valentine. They didn't exactly call
him a woman-hater, but they
didn’t sound full of the glow of
love when they referred to his
attitude about taking on females
in the department. Anyway, the
Budget Director has finally given the official o.k., and the gals
are now in the Police Academy,
for a general increase. Such an stu d y in g up on w h at it tak es t o

The first step in the cam p aign
will be a petition drive a m o n g
civil sei’vice w orkers calling on
them to support the program , a c ­
cording to J a m es V. K in g, the
u n io n ’s secretary-treasurer. K in g
also said th a t the union w as
plan n in g t o
ask
widespread
public support by sh o w in g how
vital w ar services of the City,
such as health, hospitals and
child care, have been crippled be­
cause of the huge s t a ff turnover
resultin g from the attraction of
higher salaries elsew here.
B la m es Sub-Standard W a ge so
“ W hen the public learns of the
inadequate care to the sick be­
cause of the existen ce of thou­
sands of unfilled jobs in City hos­
pitals and State institution s due
to su b-sta n da id w a g e s ,” K in g
said, "th ey will regard this a s a
serious blow to the hom e front
in this total w ar effort and ral­
ly behind our just and feasible
w a g e a d ju stm en t d e m a n d s.”
H e pointed out that civil serv­
ice w orkers w ere a m o n g those
hardesr. hit by the w ar-tim e rise
in living costs. A lthough their
salaries have rem ained relatively
static, he said, th ey h ave been
called upon to absorb an 18 per
cen t increase in the cost o f liv­
in g as well a s the h e a v iest taxa ­
tion burden in history. H e e stim ­
ated that the average civil service
w orker in N e w York h a s su ffered
a 40 per cen t cu t In real w a g e s
since Janu ary, 1941.

Folice and Draft
H E N ew York City P o lice Deparimant faces a
manpower shortage that threatens to become
really critical. The department w on’t take 1-A
men from the patrolman list, which it has a right to do
under the law ; it won’t take men in the 2-B cla ssifica ­
tion, bccause these men would become 1-A as soon as
they leave their present jobs as necessary men; and the
department w on’t take 3-A men married after September
15, 19-10, or 3-A men with collateral dependents. Men in
4-F aren’t available because they w ouldn’t have passed
the test in the first place. T h is leaves a very narrow
range of men to choose from — those in 3-A who were
married before September 15, 1940. Local boards w on’t
consider deferring a patrolman unless he’s been on the
force at least tw o years.
Meanwhile, the department keeps losing ever more
men, t! rough death, retirement, and admission to the
armed forces.
N ow, N ew York is a key city in the defense of the
nation. It would be a primary target of the enemy. As
this newspaper has contended before, the member of the
police force is in a very important sense a military
figr.re in w a rt’me.

T h om a s J. D u ffield, registrar o f
records in the D e p a r tm en t of
H ealth, w h o se bu sin ess is the
fon d lin g of vital records and sta ­
tistics (especia lly d e a th s ), w o u ld
be a p retty dull guy. A t lea st
y o u ’d expect his w ork to dom ­
ina te his personality.
W ell, d o n ’t say so, for y o u ’ll be
all w rong. T h o m a s J. D u ffield is
as lively a fellow as y o u ’d care to
m eet. H e even can m ake sta t is ­
tics sound exciting.
M ost interesting th in g about the
man, in fact, is tha t Mr. D uffield,
w h o is .also director of ^Vital
R ecord s and Statistics, h a s been
instrum ental in pu ttin g into ef­
fe ct the confidential m ethod o f
reporting cau ses of death in M an­
hattan.
H ard on t h e D oc
You .".ee, prior to introduction of
th is plan, p h ysician s w ere all too
often prevailed upon to m isrepre­
se n t the cause of death for pur­
poses o f the certificate if an in­
dividual had died of a d isease or
ailm en t none too w h olesom e to
m ention or even to think about by
those surviving the imfortunat.e
party. W hen he w o u ld n ’t comply,
h e ’d likely lose m any patients. All
of which, according to Mr. D u f­
field. resulted in com pilation of
in accu rate statistic.s.
Under the new system , certifi­
c ates are filed in tw o sections.
One is a confidential report th a t
goes to the Board of H ea lth only
for
statistical
purposes.
Th«
other, w h ich also goes to the
fa m ily and, perhaps, insu ran ce
com panies. This part s ta te s only
th a t death is due to natural
causes. The insurance people are
v ery m uch ann oyed at this turn
o f affairs, Mr, D u ffield holds,
sin c e they f e t l inform ation th at
m ig h t be useful to them in se ttl­
ing claim s is being withheld.
D e a th s

On the Federal
Eating Problem
Sirs: In a recent; issue of The
L E A D E R , you published a letter
from M. McC., referring to the
fa c t that F ederal em ployees are
given only one-half-hour for lunch,
and pointing out that it w as im­
possible to eat a lunch in that
period of tim e, let alone enjoy it.
M. McC. then asks, “ W hy not a

luncli
hour?”
You m ay be interested in le a r n ­
ing that in a recent Custom s P er ­
sonnel In form ation letter—dated
Septem ber 9, 1942, principal Cus­
tom s o fficers are authorized, in
their discretion, to deviate from
the regulations g overn in g hours

About Getting

Sirs: I find it is still difficult
to pet a defense job w ithout a
birth certificate. Th^re should be
som e uHov/ance m ade, in this pe-
viod of war, in w h ich an individiiul should be perm itted to take a
job pending production of that
certificate. Too often trustw orth y,
hartl-v.’orking m en lose out on
prcTt opportunities, aftei' w a itin g
years, just bocanse of the len gth
of tim e it seem s to have to take
to g e t a birth certificate w h en you
w a n t it.
T he D epartm en t of H e a lth ’s rec­
ord bureau .should put on more
help if this is the answ er to speed­
ing up the process. But, be th a t
as it may, the fact rem ains som e
p r o v i s i o n should be adopted
w hereby a m an would be perm ittod to go to work w ith the under­
stan d in g he is to produce his

The 'vhole thing, w h ich is being

piaster at this sort of th in g a m on g

gs a w artim e m easure (for identi­
fication purposes in case of bombings) but as a m e a n s of fu rn ish ­
ing quick identification in an y
n u m b e r of civilian em ergen cies.
Here is Dr. J a c o b s’ ow n clear,
vell-‘5tudied view of the situation:
“I have been interested in fin g e r
printing as a m e a n s of id en tifica­
tion for more than 20 years. The
apprehension of the G erm an sabo­
teurs who recen tly landed on L on g
Island, and the possibility of air
raids in N e w York City, w ith al)
of the potentialities of inability to
Identify casua lties, increased m y
interest in this subject.
“It appeared to m e prim arily
that our personnel in B ellevue
should be fin ger printed a t once.
The only m e a n s of secu rin g finger
printers to a ccom p lish this t a sk
was to establish a class in finger
printing in this institution.

Pants to Match
The problem of matching up the
old coat and vest to a new pair of
pants had been solved. The Albee
Panta Shop, directed by Herman
K. Sklarin, makes a specialty of
supplying material to match your
coat or suit. This service Is util­
ized with great economy by the
average family.
Simply bring the garment, coat or
vest, to the Albee P ants Shop at
441 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, and
Mr. Sklarin will do the rest. It
he does not have the desired ma­
terial on hand, he knows lust what
manufacturer he may procure it
from. In addition, a complete line
of the latest style slacks have been
added to the usual stock.

Will the City’s Transit System
Do Its Part in the War?
To the People of New York:
M ore tlian six million passengers are carried daily on N e w York C ity’s Transit System .
In time ol‘ pcaec, llie life of our City depends on this service. In time o f war, the life of the entire Nation depcruls on it— lor N e w ^V)rk C ity’s Transit Lines are a vital part o f the N a t i o n ’s transportation system, which has an
unprecedented responsifjilily to discharge in this A\^ir for survival.
W ill New York City’s T ransit System do its part in the N ation’s war effort?
The 32,000 men and women who operate the transit lines reply to this question with a thundering ‘‘Yes.” They
are more than eager to make their contribution to the war effort. B ut their employer, New Y ork C ity’s B o a r d o f
I'ransportation, will not permit them to make that contribution.
In the eleven nionths d u rin g which our cou ntry has been at Avar, the B o ard o f T ra n s p o rta tio n pursued a course
tliat has not only demoralized, hut now threatens to disrupt, the labor force on whom the w a r-tim e success o f our tran sit
c>[)C‘ralion depends.
'J’he lioard of Transportation has rejected every cofistructi\ e j^roposal made to it hy the Transport W orkers
I'niot) for joint labor-jnanagenjent conservfv.lion of critical materials, increased employee efficiency, air raid protection
and full utili/alion of oiir transit facilities for the war effort. The result has been that critical materials are being wasted,
cmj)loyce efficiency is deteriorating and our transit lines are not being utilized for the war effort.
In the entire period since Pearl H arbor, the Board embarked on only one project related to the war effort and
that resulted in dismal failure. It adopted a dim-out system that almost blinded its s i x million passengers. H ad the
Board accepted the Union’s offer of cooperation, it could have established effective dim-out without discomfort or in­
ju ry to the people.
A n even more serious blow is being inflicted on em p loyee morale by the Board of Transportation’s shortsighted
labor ])olicy. More than three months ago, the Tiansj)ort Workers U n io n , which represents the overwhelm ing majorily of the 8*2,000 men and women em])loyed on the city-owned transit lines, presented the l^oard with a labor victory
I)i()gram which included the following two items:
(1) A general increase in wages, equal to 1 5 % of the rates that prev ailed on-January 1, 1041, in conformity
with the policies of the Natiorial W'ar Labor Board and our government.
(2) A j)rovision for union security based on voluntary maintenance of union membership.
l ’[) to this time the Board of Transportation has failed to comply with the L'uion’s request, notwithstandinaf
is in accord with the ])olicies established by the National W a r Labor Board. These policies Avere de­
signed to maintain e m p l o w e morale and to pi'eserve the industrial stability essential to the war effort. So effective
h a \ e these policies l)cen, that not a single American employer has refused to adopt them. Indeed, many employers
ha\ e o|)cncd up existing contracts with labor unions to grant wage increases in accordance with the AN'^ar Labor Board’s
formula. On Monday of last Aveek, the Third A v e n u e Transit System, Avhich employs 8,000 men on its trolley and bus
li!K‘s in the City of N e w \"ork, granted a .5% wage increase to all its em])loyees, notwithstanding that.its present agree­
ment with the Transport A\''orkers U n ion does not expire until June 80, 1948.
t h a t the rc(|uest
The Board of Transportation stands alone among American employers in its refusal to contribute to the w ar
effort by adopting the policies of the National W ar Labor Board.
l^i\ e n less (‘xcusable is the Board of Transportation’s position A v h e n Ave exanune the financial aspects o f N e w
^'ork C ity ’s transit system. In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1942, the Board earned a net operating profit of m ore
than tNventy-one nwllion dollars ($21,000,(> 00), or $80 0 per employee. N o railroad in America»can show a larger operatir>g ])rofit ])cr employee. Vet, the real wages of the city’s transit employees have declined by 2 7 % in the last 2 years.
T h e l^oai-d’s labor ])olicy is not only demoralizing but it is actually disintegrating the labor force
success of our transit operation depends, ^ lan y skilled mechanics employed on our transit lines are
tiu ir jobs because of inade(|uate pay and intolerable Avorking conditions. JNIany more Avill undoubtedly
lioai-d re\ erses its reactionary labor x)olicy. More serious perhaps is the restlessness and discontent
those who remain.
^
upon Avhich the
already leaving
leave unless the
on the part o f
Citizens of New York City, your transit system is in danger of breakdown. You alone can save it. W rite, wire
and ’phone the Mayor demanding that he intervene at once and compel the Board of Transportation to adopt a labor
p '^’cy in conTo-'mity w’’;h ih^t promulgated by the President and the W ar Labor Board, so that New Y ork City’s transit
system may make its contribution to the welfare of our people and to victory for our country.
