NYC Employee Health Insurance
BILLS SIGNED
Plan Ready-Costs 2% of Pay Check BY GOVERNOR
LoGUARDIA SAYS:
In his budget message,
Mayor LaGuardia indicated
that he had set aside $500,000 to pay the City's share
of participation in the Health
Insurance Plan of Greater
New York.
When t h e ' P l a n goes into effect
it will offer City employees an
opportunity to safeguard t h e m selves against medical expenses by
a payroll deduction of about 2 per
cent, which will be matched by
a n equal contribution by the City.
A group of seventy prominent New
lYorkers have obtained a charter
t o start the service and have obtained approval of the State I n surance Department.
Doctors Must Cooperate
However, the one hurdle still to
be met is to assure the cooperation of doctors in the City, who
must voluntarily enroll to assure
success of the plan. Members of
the Mayor's Committee have been
meeting with the medical societies.
In the past, the powerful American Medical Association has
frowned upon plans such as this
which, it feels, tend toward "socialized" medicine.
Employees who are interested in
developments should write to the
Health Insurance Office, 100
Centre Street, New York City,
and ask to be put on their mailing list for f u t u r e information.
be provided not only to cure those
who are ill, but also to help keep
subscribers well.
3. The Plan will provide
the
widest possible freedom of choice.
Subscribers will be able to select
not only among cooperating individual physicians but also among
groups of physicians practicing
"teamwork" medicine, which has
been so successfully demonstrated
by "group practice" units in various parts of the country.
4. The plan will provide
the
services of cooperating
physicians,
and "teams" of physicians,
rather
than cash indemnities.
Doctors
will be paid directly by the insurance f u n d and subscribers will not
be called upon to make any payments for medical care In addition
to their premiums.
How Plan Will Work
Here are details of the proposed
plan, which the Mayor anticipates
will be put into operation during
the year:
1. The Plan is completely
voluntary. Enrollment of both employees and physicians will be on
Services to Be Provided
a voluntary basis. No one will be
forced to subscribe and no physiAll medically approved prevencian will be forced to cooperate. tive measures; general practition2. The Plan is comprehensive in er care in the home, office or hosits scope. All doctors' services will pital: X-ray, laboratory and other
diagnostic procedures; aU specialist services; surgery; maternity
care: physiotherapy; visiting nurse
service; hospitalization la semlprlvate rooms.
Co«t
Premiums to cover the cost of
care for the whole family will be
paid through t h e deduction of
about 2 per cent of wages or salaries f r o m pay checks and an
equal expenditure by employers,
making a total of approximately
4 per cent in all.
EUgibiUty
At the beginning, enrollment'
will be through any
employed
group of fifty or more who live
or work In t h e Metropolitan area
of New York, at least 75 per cent
of whom subscribe.
The Plan will cover wives (or
husbands), and all unmarried
children under eighteen.
Eligibility will be limited to
those earning up to $5,000 a year.
If You're Fired, You Get Paid;
Says New Bill for U. S. Employees
WASHINGTON —Unemployment compensation for
Federal employees is proposed in a bill which Civil
Service Commission has sent
to Congress. It is regarded
here as delayed recognition
of the part that some 2,000,000 war service appointees
have played in home front
war work.
6 Promotion Tests
Being Readied
For NYC Workers
sessor, Tax Department; Junior
Assessor, Tax Department; and
Plumber (General) have been submitted to the Budget Director for
approval.
The following promotion tests
have been ordered by the Commission:
Junior
Bacteriologist,
Department of Health; Assistant
Bacteriologist,
Department
of
Health; gnd Junior Bacteriologist,
Department of Hospitals.
Six promotion examinations for
NYC employees are being readied
by the Municipal Civil Service
Commission.

Before his resignation as War
Mobilizer, James F. Byiiies asked
Congress to bring all war workers
under unemployment compensation provisions of the Social Security System. Compensation coverage for Federal workers was
voted by the Senate last fall, but
the House killed it. Sentiment In
Congress now favors a system of
unemployment compensation.
Although the bill affects all
Federal workers, it is primarily
concerned with war service workers, whose jobs, by executive order, will be thrown open to competition from veterans a f t e r the
the war.
The Plan
The Commission bill would extend the system now in effect in
the District of Columbia, which is
slightly more expensive t h a n any
State plans. The District law provides benefits ranging from $6 to
$20 up to a maximum of 20 weeks
of imemployment. Benefits are
governed by employee earnings in
the quarter preceding dismissal.
An advantage of the District
plan is t h a t it will provide uniform benefits regardless of where
in the country the worker is stationed. No contribution is required from the employee.
As an alternative to unemployment compensation, the Civil
Service Commission in its annual
report proposed a 90-day dismissal indemnity and urged that
the Government furnish transportation home.
Bills enacted into law by
Governor Dewey's signature
last week, after passage by
both houses of the Legislature, affect salaries at the
State Colleges, extend the
war bonus to legislative employees, change some State
salary and increment schedules, and allows paid leave to
public employees who are
members of the Coast Guard
Temporary Reserve.
Among the new laws:
1. Salary schedules are set up
for the faculty of the State College of Forestry at Syracuse; provision is made to allow for paid
time for travel and study. This
bill was introduced by Assemblym a n Ives. Another bill, also by
Mr. Ives, makes the same provisions for Cornell University faculty and was signed by the Governor.
Legislative Bonus
2. Employees of the State Legislature are included in the war
bonus. This was a mesure by
Assemblyman Stephens.
3. The Lupton bill to amend
some State salary schedules a n d
increment rates was also enacted
into law. [See article on page 7.]
4. Public employees who are
temporary members of the Coast
Guard Reserve may have lyi
to 30 days a year paid leave for
service with the Reserve. This
was introduced by Assemblyman
Manning. [See Gen. Bradley's
column, page 6.1
5. Employees, u n d e r certain
conditions, may transfer from one
pension system to another without loss of rights under a law
drawn by Assemblyman Hults.

Better Take a Law

Trying to Collect!
An omission on a p r i n t e d s h e e t
of p a p e r is costing t h o u s a n d s of
New York City employees b a c k

The men affected are those
skilled workers who receive t h e

proper r a t e m a d e , a n d a h e a r i n g ;
t h e n to get t h e new r a t e a n d b a c k
pay.
Between 1933 a n d 1938, m e n
coming in with these c o m p l a i n t s
were given p r i n t e d f o r m s to fill
out. These f o r m s
contained
blanks for t h e m ^ n ' s n a m e , title,
r a t e of pay, s i g n a t u r e a n d n o t a ry's s t a m p .
However, later it a p p e a r e d t h a t
t h e p a p e r s weren't valid for suits
u n d e r t h e Labor Law because t h e y
d i d n ' t c o n t a i n w h a t is k n o w n a s
a " v e r i f i c a t i o n " — t h e s e words a t
t h e e n d : " J o h n Doe, being duly

Where LaCuardia's
Budget Fails
AYOR LaCUARDIA'S Executive P>u(lj?et has nnidi
to commend it, but much which should be improved.
These are the factors which employees of New Yoi'k
City will find wrong with it, and ask the Board of Estimate to cori'ect.
1. The general bonus inci'ease is $110 and $120, or
about $2.30 a week—insufficent to make much of a dent
in present-day living costs. Realizing that this is on top
of previous bonuses, it is nevertheless far too little, particularly for those eai-ning $2,400 to $4,000.
2. Employees who earn inci-ements get no bonus.
This seems palpably unfair, and a clear disadvantage to
the employee who receives the increment as a result of
years of sei'vice. On this item, the Board of Estimate
clearly should go along with the employees.
3. The Mayor persists in his attempt J,o pay per diem
employees less than the prevailing rate of pay. His attitude is "take it or leave it." His argument is not strong,
based on an endeavor to divide the City employee and the
employee in private industry. The Board of Estimate
should repudiate the Mayor's view.
4. The employees feel that the Mayor eri-ed in not
making the bonus a pei-manent addition to employee salaries in the City, and that the error will be a source of
much trouble if in later years the City should attempt to
take away the bonuses.
5. Employees earning moi-e than $4,000 have also been
subject to the vicissitudes of wartime living costs. For
them, nothing is done in the budget. This is in conti-ast
with the treatment of employees by the State, and in the
proposed schedules in pending Federal legislation.
6. In individual titles, there is much dissatisfaction as
to salary. The City's job-classification' system is in a pretty
messy state, and there is little doubt that many of the
thousands of employees are underpaid for the job they do.
But pending a better classification, something should have
been done about obvious injustices—as, for example, in
the case of the supervisory staff in the Welfare Department. The City's physicians and dentists can legitimately
feel disturbed—they say "insulted"—over a r)0-cent-a-day
increase. This is completely out of line in terms of the
service which the City I'eceives fi'om these men. It is I'ecommended to the Board of Estimate that a substantial
upward revision be made in this case.

given himself a n increase in salary. A private organization doing a

Plans for Post-War Traffic Safety
By C. I . JOYNER, JR.
Commissioner, Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles;
P r e s i d e n t , American Association of Motor Vehicle A d m i n i s t r a t o r s
In the following article, Mr. Joyner
attacks a problem of post-war traffic
safety which generally receives secondary consideration. But the points he
makes—which constitute the program
of the American Association of Motor
Vehicle Administrators—are
basic, in
a life-and-deSLth sense—to Americans.
The LEADER is indebted to the Institute of Traffic Engineers for this
material.

We will continue with increased
energy our promotion a n d s u p p o r t for m o r e u n i f o r m i t y in m o tor vehicle laws a n d regulations
throughout the Nation;

be a safe driver. B u t , h e is n o t
too s a f e a driver. I t is h e t h a t
causes most of t h e t r a f f i c c a t a s tropiiies. We have h a d h i m with
us continually since t h e first
horseless carriage a n d still we
know very little about h i m . We
have s p e n t millions of dollars a n d
a q u a r t e r of a c e n t u r y of time
following the same old r u t in
trying to educate h i m to be a s a f e
driver and to avoid accident, with
hardly
any
favorable
results.

n o t h i n g to h i m — t h e y are f o r t h e

Discouraging as our p r o g r a m in

Pedestrian Regulation a n d Control
O u r n e x t greatest problem to
solve is t h a t of t h e p e d e s t r i a n .
T h e pedestrian is t o d a y in t h e
unenviable group of people which
is f u r n i s h i n g t h e largest s h a r e of

type. But, in cities where sincere

progress is being m a d e . I t h a s
been definitely proven t h a t t h e
police officer in u n i f o r m is by
f a r t h e best possible i n s t r u c t o r in
pedestrian safety. B u t in a g r e a t
m a j o r i t y of our cities, p a r t i c u l a r l y
t h e larger ones, t h e r e is no a t t e m p t whatever to regulate a n d
control pedestrian t r a f f i c because
of a n imagined political reaction.
We do not subscribe to t h e belief
t h a t t h e citizens of a c o m m u n i t y

Worid War I Vets
Await Action
on Retirement bill
New York City employees w h o
are veterans of the last war a r e
awaiting action
by
Governor
Dewey on the measure intrcxluced
by Senator Frederic E. H a m m e r
a n d Assemblyman Louis B e n n e t t
to allow t h e m earlier retirement.
T h e provisions of t h e bill, which
received t h e endorsement of t h e
City Coimcil a n d was passed by
both houses of t h e Legislature,
would allow veterans to retire a t
the age of 50 provided they h a v e
twenty-five years of service with
t h e City.
T h e bill was originated by t h e
New York W a r Veterans in Civil
Service, and according to H e n r y
Fischer of t h e NYC Tax B u r e a u ,
S t a t e C h a i r m a n of the veterans'
organization, h a s been endorsed
by the State, County a n d Municipal Workers of America and by
the Civil Service Forum.
E n a c t m e n t of the bill into law
wouldn't cost t h e City any money,
Mr. Fischer explains, as t h e r e tirement pension would be p r o rated on a actuarial basis, w i t h
t h e veteran accepting a reduced
pension for the benefit of earlier
retirement.
FACTS ABOUT YOUR GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY-1944 REPORT
OUR TOTAL INCOME was about $288 million,
slightly higher than in 1943. Less electricity
was required: mainly because the aluminum
plant in Queens closed. More gas was sokL
More steam was sold. (These clean, dependable, care-free ways of heating are popular.)
TOOLS OF WAR FORGED HERE. From
jet-propelled planes to bayonets — from
battleships to jungle rations—New York
plants pour out weapons of war. Wartime
requirements are one reason our maintenance expenses ran some 8H million dollars
higher than the year before. (Equipment had
to be run abnormally long. Materials cost
more. Higher wages and substantial overtime swelled the figures.)
REMEMBER THE HURRICANE? Hit here at
95 miles an hour. Knocked down street leunps,
electric poles, wires. Cost us nearly $650,000
in labor and materieds to restore service.
Some storm!
382!
BAYTING ON UNCLE SAM'S TEAM. 3,831
employees are in the armed services. In addition, two thousand of our people are on
leave to war industries in desperate need of
their special skills. (Consolidated Edison
men, for example, have built air and naval
bases from the frozen Arctic to the sweltering
shores of the Persian Gulf.)
WHAT DID INVESTORS EARN? Security
holders (whose money made this enterprise
possible) received an amovmt equivalent to
less than 4 % on the plant investment of
over $1,250,000,000.
WE'LL WELCOME THEM BACK h e a r t i l y and practically! We're entitled to offer
returning servicemen jobs
good as they
left. We plan to do better for them. So we've
established a staff to fit veterans into jobs
with special cor>sideration of their new skills,
experience and knowledge.
WHO OWNS THIS COMPANY? 148,102
people and institutions—to be exact. Your
chturch, your insurance company, yoxu* bank,
educational institutions have some of their
money invested in our securities.
RETIRED. Last year we paid some $1,100,000
in annuities t o employees retired for age,
and $2,200,000 to employees retired for
disability.
ONE BUDGET ITEM HASN'T GONE UP,
Electricityl Substantial rate reductions from
1930 through 1944 are saving our electrio
customers over 32 million dollars annually,
gaa customers over 3 million d o l l a r s . : . in
the face of taxes which rose from $29 million
to above $64 million. (As businessmen we're
sort of proud of that record!)
RAISED. Employees completing periods of
satisfactory service received automatic pay
increases iinder our Wage Progr^sion Plan.
These and merit increases approved by the
War Labor Board ran to $1,500,000 annually.

NEW YORK IS THI LARGEST manufacturing city hi the country? T R U E ! New York
is unique, too, in t h a t activity is divided
