ALBANY, April 30.—The proposal to invite employees of counties and most cities of t h e S t a t e
to enjoy t h e benefits of some form
of relationship to t h e Association
of S t a t e Civil Service Employees
will be considered a t t h e meeting
of t h e Association's Executive
Committee on Friday.
J o h n T. D e G r a f f , Counsel to
t h e Association, m a d e t h e principal speech in support of such a
project at t h e meeting of the Association on February 28 lasV. He
will attend Friday's meeting.
T h e question, described as t h e
most momentous one to confront
t h e Association in a decade,
somewhat differing viewpoints at
t h e February meeting.
Different Approaches
T h a t meeting committed t h e
subject to t h e Executive Committee f o r exploration.
At its meeting on Friday t h e
Committee may act upon a proposal to call a special meeting of
Association
Representatives
to
decide t h e issue.
One suggestion is t h a t a parallel
system should be instituted, consisting of t h e present State Association intact, with county and
municipal workers co-operatively
organized, with a single Board of
Directors on which both groups
would be represented. This was
projected by Mr. DeGraff. A committee headed by Jesse McFarland
of the Social Welfare D e p a r t m e n t
reported at t h e same time in f a vor of affiliation of county and
municipal groups with the State
Association, r a t h e r t h a n unity by
absorption.

EVERY CITIZEN is interested in such questions as: Should
public employees strike for better wages or working conditions?
Should they have a closed shop? Or a written contract? Should
t h e y have bargaining rights? I n short, should they be considered
a s typical labor unions, using all legitimate methods of industrial
Strife and labor warfare?
Every member of t h e Association of S t a t e Civil Service Employees
Is interested in an impartial inquiry into this problem by a Committee
of t h e National Civil Service League. H. Eliot K a p l a n in the i n t r o duction states the reason for t h e study:
"During the past two years, the League h a s observed with increasing concern t h e tendency of organized Civil Service employees to seek
t o t r a n s p l a n t to the public service f r o m private service certain
employer-employee arrangements, which are neither necessary nor
desirable in the public service. T h e League recognizes t h a t public
employees have their grievances—sometimes real a n d sometimes
fancied, a n d t h a t it is t h e responsibility of government to establish
machinery to assure t h a t they have justice."
T h e report in general aims to suggest civil service procedures
a n d organizations t h a t should secure full hearings and justice t o
public employees through their own organizations, a n d representatives
of their own choosing
R I G H T TO ORGANIZE
"Should public employees be allowed to organize?" The answer is
obviously "yes." The committee wisely insists t h a t high public officials should go beyond mere non-interference and should give
employee organizations "open-minded friendly cooperation."
Should outside affiliations of employee organizations be forbidden?
T h e answer is not easy. The committee would not abridge any legal

Position classification is t h a t
process of analysis a n d c o m p a r i s o n by which similar positions a r e
grouped Into classes u n d e r c o m mon

or not positions are
in f a c t sufliciently similar is t h e
keynote of position classification.
According to accepted position
classification s t a n d a r d s , t h e r e are
f o u r c o n c u r r e n t conditions which
govern t h e m a k i n g of t h i s decision. W h e n positions are sufBciently similar in duties a n d
responsibilities t h a t (a) t h e same

clarity to designate each position
allocated to t h e class, (b) t h a t
t h e s a m e r e q u i r e m e n t s as to
education, t r a i n i n g a n d experience should be required of t h e
incumbents, (c) t h a t t h e s a m e

(d) t h a t t h e s a m e schedule of

Employees."
Finding on Difference
I t is obvious f r o m t h e foregoing
t h a t in order to meet successfully
t h e challenge offered by tihe custodial f e a t u r e s of t h e i r
work.
Criminal
Hospital
Attendants
m u s t possess physical s t r e n g t h
a n d t h e ability to exercise t h e
u t m o s t vigilance a n d to deal i n telligently w i t h emergencies in a n
equal degre t o Prison G u a r d s .
As a very necessary a n d essential
complement, t h e Criminal Hospital A t t e n d a n t m u s t be experienced in t h e ways of t h e insane,
in t h e skillful h a n d l i n g a n d m a n a g e m e n t of t h e s e p a t i e n t s , a n d in
a n u n d e r s t a n d i n g which c a n be
gained only t h r o u g h previous experience i n oaring for t h e m e n tally ill. As a parallel b u t wholly
different
complement.
Prison
G u a r d s m u s t by previous experience a n d t r a i n i n g be equipped t o
assist, by education, example a n d
advice, in t h e r e h a b i l i t a t i o n a n d
in t h e r e a d j u s t m e n t of social
a t t i t u d e s of prisoners w h o need
n o t overcome t h e h a n d i c a p of
m e n t a l illness.
I t follows, as a logical sequence
f r o m t h e differences outlined in
t h e foregoing p a r a g r a p h , t h a t t h e
s a m e tests of fitness c a n n o t be
used f o r t h e selection of qualified
employees t o fill positions in
these two classes. As is evidenced
by t h e m i n i m u m qualification r e quirements, t h e s a m e tests of
physical fitness c a n a n d should
be applied for b o t h classes. B e cause a n essential c o m p o n e n t of
t h e d u t i e s a n d responsibilities of
Criminal H o s p i t a l A t t e n d a n t s is
t h e care a n d t r e a t m e n t of t h e
m e n t a l l y ill, a n y test devised for
r e c r u i t m e n t t o this class would
fall short of a necessary s t a n d a r d
if it f a i l e d t o examine c a n d i d a t e s
f o r t h e i r ability to care f o r a n d
deal w i t h p a t i e n t s according t o
accepted p s y c h i a t r i c a n d t h e r a peutic s t a n d a r d s . T h i s k i n d of
testing r e q u i r e m e n t should n o t be
a p a r t of a well c o n s t r u c t e d e x a m i n a t i o n f o r t h e filling of P r i s o n
G u a r d positions.
C.S. Assembly Is Quoted
" T h e cljtssiflcatlon of positions
is sometimes properly r e g a r d e d as
synonymous w i t h salary equalization a n d s t a n d a r d i z a t i o n , a n d
t h e impression Is t h u s c r e a t e d
t h a t t h e only purpose of p r e p a r ing a classification p l a n
and
classifying positions in accorda n c e w i t h i t Is to a f f o r d a basis
for fixing f a i r p a y f o r work p e r f o r m e d a n d equal pay f o r equal
work. T h a t t h i s is a n extremely
i m p o r t a n t p u r p o s e of position
classification is, of course, true.
I t is not amiss, however, to point
out t h e e r r o r of c o n f u s i n g a
position classification p l a n w i t h
a p a y p l a n a n d of t h i n k i n g t h a t
a classification of positions is t h e
s a m e t h i n g a s fixing salaries. . . .
A position classification p l a n is
» system u n d e r which positions,
on t h e basis of t h e i r c u r r e n t
duties and responsibilities, are
grouped i n t o properly arranged
classes, e a c h class designated by
a descriptive title. , . . A p a y plan,
on t h e o t h e r h a n d , is a p l a n by
which t h e scales of pay for positions as previously arranged under
a classification plan a r e d e t e r m i n e d . . . . I n o t h e r words, a
position classification p l a n serves
to s e p a r a t e positions i n t o classes.
A p a y p l a n serves to establish t h e
imy scale f o r e a c h class of posi-
tions."
(See "Position Classification i n t h e Public Service" by
Civil Service Assembly.)
I t is strikingly significant t h a t
t h e m e m b e r s of all t h e various
groups w h o a p p e a r e d before t h e
Classification B o a r d d u r i n g t h e
h e a r i n g of these appeals e m phasized repeatedly t h e i r c l a i m
t h a t if t h e principle of equal p a y
f o r equal work is to prevail a s
r e g a r d s t h e i r positions, t h e y
should b e paid a t t h e s a m e r a t e
as P r i s o n ' G u a r d s , Sergeants, etc.
I t is likewise to be recalled t h a t ,
simultaneously w i t h t h e filing of
t h e w i t h i n appeals, these s a m e
employees petitioned t h e S t a t e
Salary Standardization Board for
a reallocation of t h e i r respective
classes t o the h i g h e r salary g r a d e s
to w h i c h t h e various classes of t h e
u n i f o r m e d prison employees a r e
now allocated. T h e s e evidences,
coupled with t h e r e a s o n i n g a n d
t h e conclusions above set f o r t h ,
c o n s t i t u t e a firm basis for t h e
finding
by
the
Classification
Board t h a t t h e appeals u n d e r

to force h i g h e r salary allocations
by t h e application of existing
titles n o t a p p r o p r i a t e or t r u l y

Croup Oral Exam
Gets First Trial
How Health Dept. Conducts Tests
A new examining technique
was used by thfe NYC Health
D e p a r t m e n t in testing candidates
lor appointment as Health-Offlcer-in-Tralning. Known as t h e
" G r o u p Oral Performance Test,"
t h e examination differs radically
f r o m t h e usual oral examination.
^
Ordinarily, only one candidate
Steps into a small room with t h e
examiners a n d is quizzed while a
recording of t h e interview is
made. I n t h e new type, a group
of candidates is assembled and
given a situation to discuss. T h e
examiners t a k e no p a r t in t h e
discussion, b u t note t h e characteristics shown by the candidates.
Some candidates show up as
n a t u r a l leaders! others are loud
and offer no useful suggestions.
Still others sit back a n d take no
p a r t in the discussion. After a
t h r e e - h o u r test, t h e examiners
feel t h a t they are able to evaluate
t h e candidates accurately.
T h e test is a n adaption by
Personnel Director William Brody
of a system used in t h e British
Army to test officer candidates.
Procedure Explained
T h e instruction sheet handed
t o each group of eigiht candidates
explains the procedure:
"HEALTH-OFFICER-INTRAINING
" G r o u p Oral Performance Ttest
"Speak loud enough for every
one in t h e room to hear you.
"You a n d t h e other members
of t h e group, as leading pyhslclans known to be interested in
m a t t e r s affecting the h e a l t h of
your community, have been i n vited by t h e Commissioner of
H e a l t h of t h e City of New York
t o consider the following problem, a n d to give him group recommendations.
These
recommendations are t o be forwarded
t o t h e Commissioner at the close
of your meeting:
"Rabies among animals is increasing rapidly. There are about
200,000 licensed dogs and a n estim a t e d additional 200,000 dogs in
t h e New York City area. W h a t
control measures should be taken?
"You will be rated on t h e value
of your contribution to t h e recommendations made, your a p p r o a c h to the problem, your
»roup participation, and your
m a n n e r and speech in presenting
your opinions.
"SPEAK CLEARLY SO T H A T
EVERY ONE CAN HEAR YOU.
T h e group itself will decide how
t h e discussion is to be carried on.
S t a r t t h e discussion as soon a s
every one h a s finished reading
this statement. -Continue until a
signal is given to stop."
Individual Talk Next
P a r t I I of the test consisted of
a 5-mInute talk on a n assigned
topic.
On this pai't, the instruction
sheet r e a d :
"Assume t h a t you have been
called upon to deliver a talk of
t h r e e to five minutes on which
ever one of the following subjects
you select. Deliver t h e talk as if
t h e group specified were before

do toward this end.
"2. You are attending a meeting of t h e P a r e n t - T e a c h e r s Association of a private school to

subject of rheumatic fever is

upon by t h e c h a i r m a n to discuss
t h e public h e a l t h implications of
rheumatic fever as it might i n volve this school.
"3. T h e District Health Officer
h a s notified you, as a leading
physician in the community, to
address a group of parents concerning the following problem:
"A large number of veterans'
families have moved into a local
housing project. There are more
t h a n t h e usual number- of babies
a n d pre-scJhool children in this
group.
Although t h e District
Health Officer believes t h a t immunization
Is necessary,
the
parents have been slow to have
this done.
"4. You, as a leading pediatrician, have been notified to
address a group of general practitioners in your County Medical
Society on t h e role of t h e general
practitioner in carrying but systematic h e a l t h supervision a n d
h e a l t h promotion of well children.
"5. T h e Coimty Medical Society
h a s notified you to speak as a

members of the group will assume t h a t they constitute t h e
