Dual-Job Ban May
Cause Exodus of
N YC Employees
An exodus of employees to private jobs will probably follow any
f u r t h e r attempts by Mayor LaGuardia to continue through with
his threats to dismiss NYC workers who are holding other jobs in
their spare time.
•When investigators of the Dep a r t m e n t of Investigation looked
over the books of the Railway Express Agency, they found, among
Others, many Parks Department
employees who were working on
.the trucks after regular working
tiours for the City. Some of these
employees have openly said t h a t
they consider their jobs with the
express company f a r more important to the war effort t h a n
their jobs around the municipal
parks. If faced with the necessity
of giving up one job, they'll let
t h e City job go.

State Employees Entering Private Jobs

EXCLUSIVE
ALBANY.—Although the changes of a State employee's getting a certificate of availability, so as to go
into a war industry joty, are better than 50 per cent on
appeal from a (Denial by the State Civil Service Commission, the chances of the same employee getting back into
his State job later are practically nil.
A check of Civil Service Commission records shows
that since the job-freeze order went into effect about three
months ago, 35 state workers were denied permission by
their appointing oflicers or department heads to leave
State service and enter war industry employment
H i e records, which disclose only
those cases where appeal was
taken from denials, reveal this
action:
Appeals taken to the Civil Service Commission, 35; certificates
granted by the Commission, over-

appointing officers upheld and

A number of cases are either
incomplete or are on appeal with
no decision yet.

NY Postal Clerks
In Battle With
National Office
A revolt among members of
Local 10, N. Y. Federation of Post
Office Clerks 'AFL), is expected
to flare up at the national convention of the organization which
will be held in Indianapolis on
July 24.
This marks the second time in
a year t h a t the New York local
of postal union has engaged in a
m a j o r battle with its own p a r e n t
body. T h e first case occurred a
year, ago, when a dispute between
t h e New York local and t h e international of t h e Railway Mail employees hauled off in a f r a c a s t h a t
reached the courts.
W h a t It's About
At the end of May, the national
office of t h e FPOC conducted
a national referendum. Instead
of gathering for a vote, the officials of Local 10 decided to distribute ballots to the delegates,
who handed them out to paid-up
members. T h a t , complained some
of the members, wasn't according
to the constitution of the organization, which calls for regular
balloting, so they sent complaints
to the Washington headquarters.
Washington promptly got in
touch with officers of Local 10,
and asked for a full report on how
t h e voting h a d been carried on.
Local officers became indignant,
and a full membership meeting
decided t h a t t h e balloting h a d
been in accordance with t h e constitution. T h e n the Board of
Officers decided to ignore the
Washington
questionaire,
and
asked for a decision from t h e
main office.
Came Word
Finally they heard. Washington said: "Since the inclusion or
exclusion of your Local's votes
won't affect the final result, we'll
count t h e m in."
Further, t h e Washington officials said t h a t t h e whole m a t t e r
would be brought up a t t h e convention.
T h e six local delegates are all
set to carry their flight on the
floor of t h e convention. They are:
William T. Browne, Jr., president
of Local 10, Ephraim H a n d m a n ,
Max R. Schissel, Solomon Bocher,
Henry Berman, and Abe Kaye.

Tueaday, July 11, 1944
WASHINGTON. — Are government workers to be
classed as "second class citizens and political serfs" or as
real U. S. citizens, entitled with others to take their full part
in our democracy?
T h a t was the theme of arguments presented before the District Court here in t h e suit
brought by the United Federal
Workers of America, to have t h e
blanket no-politics clause of t h e
H a t c h Act declared unconstitutional.
T h e suit was brought against
the U. S. Civil Service Commission, which UFWA claims is i n v a d i n g Government workers'
rights of free speech a n d free
press by enforcing t h e H a t c h Act
clause.
UFWA attorneys, Lee
Pressman a n d M a r t i n Raphael,
asked t h e Court for a n injunction
to stop enforcement of the clause
by t h e Commission.
Justices Groner, Bailey a n d
Morris, who h e a r d the case, are
expected to h a n d down the edict
in a few weeks.
2,500,000 Affected
T h e clause in dispute is t h e
second sentence of Section 9 (a),
which forbids government e m ployees to take any active p a r t in
political campaigns. Over two
and a half million government
workers are affected by it.
P a r t s of the H a t c h Act which
help protect the merit system in
Civil Service and prohibit use of
official positions to influence votes
or elections are not challenged.
UFWA attorneys admitted Congress h a s the right to enact legislation preventing evils or abuses,
such as political coercion of any
citizen, misuse of official a u t h o r ity, etc. They claim, however,
t h a t a law which prevents a government clerk or a welder in a
Government Navy yard f r o m being active, as a private citizen on
his own time, in a political c a m paign, is r e p u g n a n t to t h e first
a m e n d m e n t to the Constitution.
Political Activity No Evil
Attorney Pressman stated t h a t
political activity as such was n o t
a n evil which Congress h a d t h e
power to forbid. He argued t h a t
instead it was t h e duty a n d privilege of all citizens to participate
fully in choosing candidates for
office.
The suit was brought by t h e
union on behalf of 12 individual
members employed in 11 diflerent
government
establishments
in
seven states. Each submitted a n
affidavit stating he wished t o e n gage in political activities on behalf of candidates whom h e f a vored, but t h a t under Civil Service rules enforcing t h e H a t c h Act,
he would be discharged if he did
tration on top in the interest of
t h e fighting m a n a n d m a i n t a i n

General, let's stress the last p a r t

in general of the V. A. are concerned also . . .

MANY EMPLOYEES have been
telling this crrespondent just how
easy it is to get ahead at Vets,

with certain supervisors, get nice

favors, like knitting for t h e m or
such I t s supposed to work . . .
how about t h e rest of the staff
trying it?
so.
Signers of all affidavits
claimed t h a t their constitutional
rights of f r e e speech and press
were being invaded by this t h r e a t
of discharge.
He Sticks at It
One of the 12, George Poole, a
roller in t h e Philadelphia Mint,
h a s already engaged in political
activity, a n d h a s been t h r e a t e n e d
with discharge by the Commission. Poole says h e intends to
continue his activity regardless
of action by t h e Commission. At
a hearing on J u n e 29, t h e Court
requested t h e government n o t t o
flre Poole pending a decision on
t h e suit.
T h e government's answer to t h e
suit was presented by J o s e p h
Friedman, a special Assistant t o
the Attorney General. F r i e d m a n ' s
arguments were in t h e m a i n t e c h nical objections. He claimed t h a t
the Civil Service Commission did
not enforce t h e H a t c h Act, although Civil Service rules against
political activity have been incorporated into t h e H a t c h Act. H e
also pointed out other cases in
which b a n s against political a c tivity on t h e p a r t of Government
workers h a d been upheld by t h e
courts. UFWA attorneys claimed
t h a t these cases involved laws directly relating to abuse of official
authority, b u t n o t political activity as such.

Red-Tape Clogs Raises
In Bklyn. Navy Yard

New U. S. Vet Preference Act, Having Wide Effects,
Now in Operation: Here's What If Means to You
WASHINGTON.—Here is how the Starnes-Scrugham
Act—veterans preference Act of 1944, signed by the President on June 27—will affect you:
These regulations under the law were issued by the
U. S. Civil Service Commission.
This act restricts competition
for elevator operator, guard, messenger, and custodian positions to
veterans so long as they are available. It gives t h e President of t h e
United States authority, during
t h e present war and for five years
following it, to designate other positions for which competition shall
be restricted to veterans.
T h e act requires t h a t reasons
for passing over t h e n a m e of a
veteran must be submitted to the
Commission. The non-vet may not
be appointed or entered on duty
until the appointing officer h a s
received and considered the findings of the Commission as to their
decision. Reason of the appointing officer must also be furnished
t h e veteran eligible or his representative.
While peace-time veterans, ex-

future reference.
cept certain specified disabled veterans and wives of disabled veterans, are not entitled to preference under the Act, the Commission said t h a t those peace-time
veterans who are in t h e civilian
service of t h e Federal Government
on the effective date of t h e Act will
keep any retention preference t o
which they are now entitled under
previous preference regulations.
Any person whose n a m e appears
on an existing eligible list a n d who
was entitled to preference under
preference status so f a r as t h a t
list is concerned, and, if he is a p pointed f r o m the list, will receive
reduction-in-force preference.
Pointing out t h a t the "rule of
3," under which sufficient names
| are submitted to an appointing officer to allow him to consider
three names in connection with
each vacancy, is required by the
Act, t h e Commission announced

and t h e requirements as to selection will be generally in accord-

M u c h Dissatisfaction
T h e r e h a s been dissatisfaction
both from the,employees and the
department
heads.
Employees
feel, in m a n y cases, t h a t t h e i r
rating, which counts
towards
t h e i r g r a d e on a p r o m o t i o n e x a m ination, d e p e n d s largely on t h e i r
personal r e l a t i o n s h i p w i t h t h e s u pervisor who r a t e s t h e m .
D e p a r t m e n t officials feel t h a t
t h e p r e s e n t system is merely a
f a r c e to fit in with S t a t e laws
which r e q u i r e
annual
service
r a t i n g reports. O n e d e p a r t m e n t
h e a d says: " I h a v e over 400 e m ployees in m y b u r e a u . L a s t y e a r
only 2 received u n s a t i s f a c t o r y
ratings, t h e rest were all 'good'
or 'excellent.' T h a t certainly does

— T o abolish t h e system of service r a t i n g s entirely a n d give
t h e s a m e credit t o all employees

(This, some say, m i g h t be cont r a r y t o p r e s e n t S t a t e laws.)
— T h a t service r a t i n g s be m a d e
confidential, t o allow s u p e r visors f u l l f r e e d o m i n g r a d i n g
t h e i r workers. At p r e s e n t t h e e m ployee h a s t h e r i g h t to review his

would raise a f u r o r e a m o n g m u nicipal employees.)

Bad Doctrine Uttered
By Govt. Attorney
W
E TAKE exception to an argument made by Joseph
M. Friedman, Justice Department attorney arguing
t h e Government's side in the Hatch Act case now
proceeding in Washington.
Friedman argued that nobody is compelled to work
for the Government. In effect, if you don't like the conditions of work, nothing prevents you from getting the
hell out.
This is the same line of talk that used to be invoked
years ago in private industry when employees asked for
an improvement in their condition. The men would go
to the boss and request a raise. The boss would answer:
"You don't have to work here. If you don't like the way
we do things, you're .free to leave any time."
This benighted attitude was at bottom of much labor
strife in the history of this nation. It's pathetic to hear
it mouthed at this late date by a representative of the
Government.
The LEADER has been against that section of the
Hatch Act which curtails the political activities of employees paid out of Federal funds. Nevertheless, we
believe that an argument can be made out for the act
without invoking so anachronistic an approach as that
of attorney Friedman.
. After all, if his argument is taken at face value, then
employees would never dare try to improve their pay,
their working conditions, or to change any imposition,
however onerous, which an official might wish to heap
upon their heads.
That doesn't sound like good doctrine for fre,e men
and women in the employ of a free nation.
Training Program Needed
For State Employees
F
OR some years now, Albany officials have been playing around with the idea of instituting a training
program for State employees. Here and there, something interesting was done, but on the whole we have in
New York State no really effective plan of in-service
training.
Everybody admits that such a program is useful and
necessary. The State Civil Service Commission is known
to be interested in seeing a dynamic plan get under way.
Employees themselves would certainly be for it, because
their own chances for advancement would be improved
through training; moreover, proper training would enable
many of them to turn in a smoother, more efficient job.
All the necessary factors for putting a training program into action are available, including some good preliminary surveys by the Civil Service Commission.
Let's do it! The coming autumn is as good a time as
any to begin with a State-wide training program, covering
all departments.

Should Special Courses

Sirs: Many Civil Service employees find interest in outside
avocations a n d pursuits, such as
art, music, writing, etc., things
which add zest to life. Why not
have the city arrange courses a t

various fields, under competent instructors to give an outlet to m a n y

otherwise. Arrangements might
be made with existing educational
institutions. A questionaire would

THE OLD SLOGAN should be
changed to read "like f a t h e r like
daughter." It's sort of a tradition in the Tubridy family to be
a chief clerk.
Pop, that's Mortimer Tubridy,
started off way toack in 1908 with
the Comptroller, then went to the
Borough President of The Bronx,
and became chief clerk, which
was the position he held a t his
retirement in 1942.
Daughter Veronica is carrying
on the tradition now, as she's
chief clerk in the New York City
Department of Housing and Buildings.
I t was during World War I t h a t
she first started to work for Uncle
Knickerbocker. There was a shortage of men (sounds familiar) and
Men
the City gave an examination fot
office girls. Veronica took the
test—just for a summer job while
ds.tnoo joq Suttisfuy SBM ANA
Cathedral High School. She began with the old Department of
Public Charities (now the Welfare
Department).
She Remained on Job
She stayed on the City job,
finished school and then went to
the Borough President of M a n h a t t a n . She started at the salary of $300 a year, but progressed
steadily up the ladder. When the
Department of Housing and Buildings was created in 1938, she was
appointed chief clerk, and now
heads m a n y of t h e activities of
five borough offices.
Veronica isn't the only member
of her family in civil service.
There were 5 daughters in t h e
Tubridy family, and 3 of t h e m
worked for the public libraries.
Potential Chief Clerks
She has two foster daughters,
and one of them, Julia, has a
confidential position w i t h t h e
Navy Department. Eileen, t h e
other, is still in high school, b u t
there are two potential chief
clerks on the way.
She pretty much restricts h e r
outside activities to keeping house
for her family and says t h a t she
loves to cook.
She manages to find time, however, to serve as president of t h e
department's Welfare fund, which
pays death benefits or retirement
payments to employees, and helps
out those who get in trouble.
When it came to getting m a r ried, 16 years ago, she went o u t side of civil service and wed
Edwin M. Kern, a real estate m a n .
She doesn't look anything like t h e
executive type, but her competence
is a byword around t h e office.

WorryServiceman-Cops
Old-timers in the NYC Police Department remember the days
a f t e r World War I, when t h e veterans came back. Then, they recall,
the returning service men were greeted with open arms, and places
were made for men with disabilities ranging from 10 to 40 percent.
And in addition to finding a job on their return, t h e ex-soldiers who
h a d been partially disabled received veteran's preference which helped
them make their way up the promotional ladder.

Civilian Activities Listed
T h e civilian activities t h a t constitute "military duty" under the
Military Law a r e e n u m e r a t e d in

comprise t h e following:

H e is compelled to resign a n d h a s

T h e a p p o i n t i n g officer m a y decide to g r a n t a leave of absence.
I n t h a t case the employee doesn't
have to worry, h e gets his old

T h e theory behind this large

provides t h a t not more t h a n two
members of a family living under
t h e same roof may hold jobs in
the Federal civil service.
(7) An appointing officer who
passes over the n a m e of a veteran
eligible and selects a non-veteran
must file with the Civil Service
Commission his reasons for so
doing. 1116 nonpreference eligible
may not be appointed or entered
on duty until the appointing officer h a s received and considered
the findings of the Commission as
to the sufficiency of his reasons.
T h e reasons of the appointing officer and the findings of the Commission must be furnished by the
Commission to the preference eligible, or to his representative,
upon request.
(8) In a reduction in force,
preference employees whose efficiency ratings are "Good" or better are retained in preference to
all competing non-veterans, and
preference employees whose efficiency ratings are less t h a n
"Good" are retained over competing nonpreference employees
who have equal or lower efficiency
ratings.
(9) A preference eligible who
has been furloughed or separated
without delinquency or misconduct
may request to have his n a m e
placed on appropriate re-employment lists. He will then be eligible
for recertification and reappointment. So long as there are three
or more names of preference eligibles on an appropriate re-employment list, no appointment
may be made—except of 10-point
preference eligibles—from a list
established as the result of an
examination.
The new War Service Regulations apply to positions in the
classified service—positions subject to the Civil Service Act. The
Commission announced that, as
soon as possible, regulations will,1
be devised governing the granting
of preference, in accordance with
the Stames-Scrugham Act, in
connection with appointments to
positions in the unclassified service, including positions in the District of Columbia government.

NYC Custodial System
Ruled Illegal by Courts
An ugly situation in the NYC
Board of Education, which has
been attacked for years, was ordered ended last week by a decision jot Supreme Court Justice
Froessel. The method of pay for
custodial workers is subject to
such abuses that at one time a
'substantial number of custodial
helpers organized into John L.
Lewis' Mine Workers Union, feeling that only in this way could
they get help.
The so-called "indirect" plan of
hiring custodial help for the City
schools calls for a lump sum, paid
annually to the head oustodian.
From this, he hires his own staff,
and his private income amounts
to the difference between what he
is granted by the City, and how
much he spent for help. In practice, an appointment as a head
custodian was a valuable political
"plum"; the 3,000 cleaners, firemen, elevator operators in the 765
school buildings which operated
under this setup had no civil service rights. And stories of abuse
are legion.

CIVIL SERVICE THE ANSWER
For several
years,
Tha
L E A D E R haa protested tha
feudal custodian system in tha
New York City schools, whereby 3,000 employees are left
without rights of any kind,
they are paid more or less at
the whim of individual bosses
—out of public money, and,
where a setup exists which has
led to the most incredible
abuses.
The obvious, and only, answer
is civil service for the custodial
employees. Why the City haa
refused to install a proper system of merit here is (me of
those matters about which every
citizen has a right to ask questions—and to be suspicious.

Now the courts say precisely

which provides that positions in _
the public service should be filled (

However, a 60-day stay was allowed to permit the Board time

Are Your Civil Service Rights in NYC
(Continued from Page 1)
who has been certified from any
such list and who has not received an appointment either because of such classification or
membership in such reserve military or naval forces shall be
deemed to be engaged in military
duty at the time of certification
and shall be entitled to and shall
retain, for the period ending two
years from the date of the termination of hostilities, all the rights
and privileges provided in this
section for persons certified while
in military duty, or, if such person has been ordered into active
military duty prior to such termination, then for the period ending two years after the termination of such military duty. Any
such person subsequently appointed from a special eligible
list shall be entitled to credit for
seniority, dating from the time
when he would have been reached
for appointment from the original
eligible list.
Military Leaves
—Every public employee shall
be entitled to absent himself
from his position while engaged
in the performance of military
duty and shall be deemed to have
a leave of absence for the duration of such military duty. Such
public employee shall be reinstated to his position provided he
makes application for such reinstatement within sixty days after
the termination of his military
duty. He may be so reinstated, at
any time after such sixty-day period and within one year after the
termination of his military duty,
in the discretion of the appointing officer or body.
Promotion Rights
Jk—As a civil service employee in
T: military service, you have
certain rights on promotion examinations, defined in the Military Law of New York State,
which entitle you to a special promotion examination if you have
been unable to take one as a result of such military service.

Candidates for City Joba
—As a result of the continually
changing conditions of the
war, it is impossible at the present
time to set down the exact procedure relating to candidates for
civil service positions who are on
military duty. In all probability,
any policy to be adopted will not
be completely defined until the
end of the war. This policy will
be based in large part on legislation which may be passed at some
future date.
—Under these circumstances, if
you do not wish to continue
with the examination for which
you have filed you may have your
fee returned. Your application
will be cancelled and all parts of
the examination which you may
have taken will be voided. Please
do not inquire about the return
of the fee as some time may pass
before its refund.
—No part of the examination
will be held at any of the
military camps, nor will any special examination be given until
after the end of the war.
—If you have filed an application for a position!? or have
taken any part of any examination for a position, or are now on
an eligible list, tell the Commission
as soon as you are permanently
released from military service and
not later than 60 days from date
of discharge, so that you can be
notified of any action by the
Commission which may affect your
status in any way.

America's
Strangest
University
ALBANY — This city houses
America's strangest university—
an institution without campus,
without faculty, without classes,
without students.
Situated in Albany's big "politics square," the USNY building
is a block-long edifice, looking like
a Greek temple. Seven hundred
employees are at work there, and
every Christmas they assemble on
the wide steps of the foyer and
sing carols. The rotunda contains
one of the largest chandeliers in
the world—hanging from the dome
by a 60-foot bar.
Stockroom after stockroom is
loaded with books. These rooms
run eight stories—downward, into
the ground. You'll find 2,000,000
volumes there. These are distributed among five libraries: a General Library, Law Library, Periodical Library, Medical Library,
Legislative Reference Library. Employees are available to help dig
up all kinds of facts. In addition,
there is a library of books for the
blind in braille. Sightless persons
may also avail themselves of the
huge library consisting of recordings of great books. "Gone With
the Wind" consists of eighty records!
Traveling Libraries
The university sends out traveling libraries to the remote parts
of the State and people in little
forsaken hamlets have learned eagerly to await the trailer filled
with books. This is part of the
huge program of adult education,
which the University sponsors. Dr.
Frank Tolman, who is in charge
of this program, says: "It is in the
very marrow of America that an
enlightened people is a free people."
Sets Education Standards
Perhaps the biggest job of the
University is to set up the standards of education in the State.
