the State specifications and get
$1,560. In other words, the comparisons are not to like jobs and
there is no magic in the median
or mid-point of such a conglomeration that makes it the reasonable definftion of the workers the
State has or needs.
More Care in Comparison Needed
One can get a better idea of the
inequity of the comparison if he
notes the "average minimum"
salary for typist of $1,515 and
median of $1,629 given for private
Industry and then looks in the
classified ads of the Albany Knickerbocker News and sees Montgomery Ward appeals for typists,
starting salary of $28 a week with
time and one-half for overtime.
This is barely below the $1,515
salary listed as the "average minimum," which is presumably considered a beginner's rate, and yet
seems to be so low t h a t Montgomery Ward continues to advertise to try to get workers. Most
State employees would not consider it proper to use Montgomery
Ward as a standard for fixing
State rates of pay. The jobs are
not comparable because State
typists are frequently called on to
type complicated tables and to
adjust to a variety of demands
that would not be expected of
most Montgomery Ward typists.
The proper group for comparison
would probably have a beginner's
rate above the State rate. A much
more careful comparison of jobs
would have to be made before the
typists could feel t h a t they had
h a d a fair determination of their
salaries as of the summer of 1946.
Quest for Unusual Merit
The illustration given above is
typical, and most of the other occupations where a comparison is
made to private industry are subject to similar gross errors. Moreover, the comparison in each case,
by its use of the median, assumes'
t h a t the State specifications have
been designed to secure the average worker. This is not in accord
with past practice.
The first sentence of the portion
of the Civil Service Law given in
the Appendix of the Survey, Article 3, Section 37 says:
"In order to attract unusual
merit and ability to the service of
the State of New York . , ."
The Legislature of the State, in
passing that law, certainly did not
indicate t h a t it wanted average
employees. It definitely wanted
above-average employees.
The
Survey ignores this statement in
the law.
As a result of previous efforts to
abide by the law, salary levels
were set to compete for the above
average employees, and competition in the civil service examination was used as a technique for
selecting the best among those
willing to accept jobs at the salary
offered.
If a crude statistical determination of the comparison point between private and State employment were to be established, t h a t
would refiect the law, the upper
limit of the middle 50 per cent.,
i.e., the upper limit of the private
employer range, given in the Survey, might be used. This would
put the State in a position to draw
freely f r o m the above-average
group and a t times to secure persons in the upper quarter of the
ability and experience group.
Such a method is obviously very
ci-ude but it does approximate the
intent of the law. The Survey

method doe.s not. The proper
method to make a comparison
would be to find employees and
jobs actually comparable to the
State employees and jobs and find
what private industry paid them.
A Shift That Spoils a Cut
Since State salaries were originally set to "attract unusual merit
and ability," a shift to the average scale is a substantial cut to
present employees from the level
to which they are entitled. The
change can be expected to lead to
a gradual transfer of present employees to other more suitable employers and their replacement by
inferior personnel. Due to the accumulated service rights and home
ties of the older employees, the
State will retain the services of
many present employees, but at
a high cost in morale The recruitment of new employees of
equivalent caliber will be impossible.
While the failure to compare
the State jobs to comparable outside jobs was the most general
failure in the comparisons with
private industry, there were other
serious ones. One of the most
secure union wage scales where
surprising was the failure to
such scales were generally available. For instance, carpenters
have been highly organized for
lished rates in om- m a j o r cities,
many years and have well estabThe Survey found thirty carpenters earning less t h a n $2,100 and
17 more t h a n $3,400. The union
rate in New York City is $2.50 per
hour or $100 for a forty hour
week. If one estimates that a good
carpenter should work about 40
weeks a year during the present
building, this works out to $4,000.

since the State insists that the

Different Jobs Don't Conjrarr
In .some cases the private jobs
to Which the S.ate jobs were compared were completely and im«
questionably different. One of t h e
best illustrations of this tyjje of
error is in the comparison for
launderer. The General S t a t e ment of Duties Includes the sentence, "Supervises and i n s a u c t s

unskilled laundry work. . . . " According to the Survey the average
pay in private industry for workers to .supervise and instruct
patients in «in.skilled laundry vork
was $1,284 as compared with
State pay of $1,916. The 11.284
rate is the rate for unskilled
laundry work, which does not in-,
elude any responsibility for supervision or instruction, nor do s it
require ability to speak, read a n d
write English, which is the minimum qualification for the Slate
job. This appears to be a completely unfair comparison. There

T h e i m p o r t a n c e of such a n a n a lysis c a n be d e m o n s t r a t e d by t h e
peculiarities in some of t h e comp a r a t i v e figures given for o t h e r
S t a t e s in t h e table of "Average
Yearly E a r n i n g s " of employees in
selected S t a t e g o v e r n m e n t s . (Tlie
reason t h a t t h e analysis c a n n o t

S t a t e is t h a t it does n o t f u r n i s h
t h e U. S. B u r e a u of Cen.sus with
as m u c h detail on payroll changes
as t h e o t h e r States.)
Pay Drops and Hidden Truth
One of t h e o u t s t a n d i n g peculiarities in t h e table Is t h e drop in
the p a y per employee in Illinois
f r o m July, 1938 t o July, 1942 f r o m
$1,703 to $1,370. A study of t h e
U. S. Census reports shows t h a t
t h e Illinois figure includes p a r t t i m e employees a n d t h a t t h e n u m ber of p a r t - t i m e employees fluct u a t e s from one period to a n o t h e r .
As a result t h e Illinois p e r - e m ployee p a y increased f r o m $1,370
to $2,095 in April, 1946 or by 53
p e r cent. T h u s in t h e p a t t e r n of
New York S t a t e discussions a n
observer could say t h a t in Illinois
the over-all increase in salaries
f r o m 1942 to April, 1946 was as
great as t h e increase in t h e cost
of living f r o m 1938 to 1947.
Before t h e 61 per c e n t figure is
accepted by t h e employees they
should know more of t h e s u p p o r t ing details because t h e experience
with t h e Illinois figure, w h e r e details are available, shows t h e pitfalls of t h e technique of dividing
t o t a l payrolls by t h e t o t a l e m ployees.
II. T H E INADEQUACY O F T H E
SAMPLE
a. The small size of the private
industry sample
T h e Survey speaks approvingly
of t h e adequacy of t h e s a m p l e
used but a n e x a m i n a t i o n of t h e
details shows t h a t t h e s a m p l e was
seriously i n a d e q u a t e for m a n y of
t h e comparisons m a d e . T h e S u r vey m e n t i o n s t h a t d a t a were obtained
for
112,000
employees,
which is certainly a large n m n b e r ,
but it does n o t m a k e 8 plumber
a n d s t e a m - f i t t e r f o r e m e n a n adeq u a t e sample for d e t e r m i n i n g salaries for S t a t e workers in these
jobs. T h e f r e q u e n t l y occurring
c h a n c e errors in so small a n u m b e r
would r u n t o h u n d r e d s of dollars
in a n a n n u a l salary if t h e sample
were truly a r a n d o m one (and t h i s
is unlikely, as will be explained
below).
Of course t h e sample cited
above is a n e x t r t m e one, b u t t h e r e
are m a n y tables in which the n u m ber in t h e sample is less t h a n 25
a n d even i n such samples f r e quently occurring c h a n c e errors
will also a m o u n t to h u n d r e d ^ of
dollars per year.
b. The failure to obtain a representative sample
T h e use of i n a d e q u a t e sized
samples is a g g r a v a t e d by f a i l u r e
to m a k e t h e samples secured r e p resentative.
F o r instance, t h e
railroads are one of t h e largest
employers in t h e Albany a r e a but
t h e r e is no indication t h a t d a t a
were secured f r o m t h i s type of organization. Salaries a n d wages in
t h e railroad service h a v e generally
been considered above average.
T h e average salary on t h e railroads was $2,700 in 1945, which
is indicative of t h e level of pay,
a l t h o u g h as noted above i n t h e
discussion of t h e Illinois figures,
s u c h broad averages are subject
t o g r e a t errors. O n t h e o t h e r side,
the philanthropic
organizations
which t e n d t o h a v e low wages a r e
heavily represented,
apparently
t o get a fair-sized s a m p l e of social
workers a n d nurses, but in t h e
process o t h e r types of jobs were
covered, in possibly disproportionate numbers.
T h e lack of u n d e r s t a n d i n g of
sampling t h e o r y on t h e p a r t of
those responsible f o r t h e Survey is
clearly shown by t h e s t a t e m e n t
on page 21.
" I n every case, t h e total n u m b e r
of employees f o r which i n d u s t r i a l
figures were t a b u l a t e d f o r each
level of m e c h a n i c is greater t h a n
t h e n u m b e r of New York S t a t e
positions on t h e s a m e level. For
example, t h e r e are 310 M a i n t e n ance M a n positions i n t h e S t a t e
sei-vice, whereas statistics were
g a t h e r e d for 905 M a i n t e n a n c e
Men in -private industry. T h e r e
a r e 839 positions of skilled c r a f t s m e n in t h e S t a t e service in t h e
titles reported, whereas statistics
were obtained for 1,940 skilled
c r a f t s m e n in private industry."
If t h e logic is continued to
smaller samples, i t would a p p a r ently m e a n t h a t if the S t a t e enjj^vyt'U uu<3 uuiint<»nuucu m u u , uiici
ST^TK

tlu- salary
of
m a i n t e n a n c e men in private industry.
Peril of Mere Numbers
Picking up a n o t h e r
possible
implication of t h e s t a t e m e n t , one
m i g h t conclude t h a t t h e writer
believed t h a t sheer n u m b e r yielded
statistical reliability. Some p e r sons m a y r e m e m b e r the f a m o u s
Presidential
poll r u n by t h e
Literary Dige.st in 1936, which
claimed it was reliable because it
h a d f o u n d how a large n u m b e r of
people would vote. Tiie Digest poll
result was so comi"'lr.tely wrong
t h a t t h e m a g a z i n e WHS no longer
considered reliable a n d discont i n u e d publication. T h e G a l l u p
Poll, which was developed on
sounder statistical
assumptions
b u t using m u c h smaller samples,
h a s proved m o r e reliable. T h e
quoted s t a t e m e n t indicates t h a t
t h e work done in t h e Survey failed
to give a d e q u a t e weight to t h e
development of c a r o f u l s a m p l i n g
techniques a n d u n d u e weight to
m e r e c o m p a r a t i v e n a m b f r s which
was t h e great failure of t h e
Literary Digest.
In f a i r n e s s to the study one
should note t h a t the detail work
reported is better t h a n one would
expect a f t e r reading this s t a t e m e n t . T h e report does give some
i n f o r m a t i o n on t h e .steps t a k e n t o
i n s u r e the representativeness of
t h e samples secured. S e p a r a t e i n f o r m a t i o n is given in t h e tables
for geographic areas a n d a p a r t i a l
list of agencies visited furni.shed.
However no s e p a r a t e figures a r e
given to i n d i c a t e t h e v a r i a t i o n s
f r o m i n d u s t r y to i n d u s t r y or t o
i n d i c a t e t h e weighting of t h e i n dustries in t h e sample a n d in t h e
S t a t e . T h i s is a serious d e f e c t
f r o m t h e point of view of one t r y ing to evaluate t h e dependability
of t h e results a n d s u p p o r t s t h e
view, m o r e fully developed elsewhere in this discussion, t h a t t h e
statistical h a n d l i n g of t h e d a t a is
too crude to yield reliable results.
III. THE FAILURE TO USE
REASONABLE D I S C R E T I O N IN
THE STATISTICAL
INTERPRETATIONS
T h e failure, in m a n y cases to
secure a d e q u a t e sized or r e p r e sentative samples h a s already been
noted, as well as t h e f a i l u r e to
c o m p a r e jobs accurately b u t t h e r e
are other serious statistical errors,
a. The attempt to estimate a representative average from data
that have no central tendency
T h e s t a t i s t i c i a n h a s to be very
c a r e f u l in his use of averages because t h e r e are a n u m b e r of d i f f e r e n t purposes for which t h e y
m a y be computed.
An average is sometimes desired
j u s t as a midpoint. T h u s if one
tries to balance a y a r d - s t i c k on
his figure h e needs to find t h e
p o i n t t h a t is equidistant f r o m t h e
ends. Or children on a t e e t e r t o t t e r need to find t h e m e a n
p o i n t of t h e total weight on t h e
t e e t e r - t o t t e r to d e t e r m i n e
the
poiiit of balance. For purposes
such a s the.se t h e d e t e r m i n a t i o n
of averages is reasonable a n d
logical for a n y f r e q u e n c y d i s t r i bution. At o t h e r times a n average
Is desired as a point t h a t is r e p resentative of all t h e points i n a
f r e q u e n c y distribution. T h e use
of t h e m e d i a n in t h e survey is of
this l a t t e r type. T h e m e d i a n salary for c a r p e n t e r s is f o u n d because
it is assumed t h a t t h e m e d i a n
salary is r e p r e s e n t a t i v e of all
salaries in t h e group a n d t h a t t h e
variations from the median are
those t h a t c a n be a t t r i b u t e d to
chance.
S t a t i s t i c i a n s h a v e studied t h e
characteristics of c h a n c e distributions for years a n d h a v e e s t a b lished definite laws concerning
them. A c h a n c e distribution, one
t h a t a m e d i a n value would r e p resent, h a s m o r e observations a t
a central point t h a n a t a n y o t h e r
point a n d t h e frequency of t h e
observations declines regularly as
one moves f r o m t h i s c e n t r a l point
of m a x i m u m frequency, called
the mode, to t h e limits of t h e distribution. T h e n u m b e r at limits
or tails will be very small. W h e r e
these conditions are n o t met t h e r e
is not s a t i s f a c t o r y c e n t r a l t e n dency a n d n o average, such as
t h e a r i t h m e t i c m e a n , m e d i a n or
mode, will be representative of
tlie distribution. W h e r e t h e r e a r e
m o r e t h a n one point at which observations cluster to f o r m peaks
or modes t h e s t a t i s t i c i a n knows
t h a t the^ distribution

contains two distinct kinds of observations r a t h e r t h a n one. T h i s

LOGIC is sometimes of value in reaching valid conclusions. I n a
research study logic m i g h t be considered essential. Let's look a t t h e
reasoning underlying t h e m a i n r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s in t h e salary survey.
T h e report s t a t e s in essence " I n t h e m a i n , gi'oss salaries presently
paid . . . a r e c o m p a r a b l e with a n d in proper r e l a t i o n s h i p to salaries
paid in private i n d u s t r y a n d in o t h e r public jurisdictions."
T h e F e l d - H a m i l t o n Law h a s t h u s d o n e a r e m a r k a b l e job, a c c o r d ing to t h e Study, in keeping p a y in t h e Public Service almost i d e n t i cal with t h a t paid in private business. As t h i s correspondence or b a l a n c e is t h e chief concern of t h e S a l a r y B o a r d , t h e y now propose t o
discard t h e very in.strument t h a t h a s achieved this balance, as a n t i quated, o u t m o d e d a n d inflexible. W h e r e is t h e logic?
" T h e p r e s e n t s a l a r y p l a n , " says t h e r e p o r t , " h a s m a n y i n h e r e n t
inequities," W h y do these inequities not a p p e a r p r o m i n e n t l y in t h e
f a c t s a n d figures of t h e r e p o r t ? How was t h e r e m a r k a b l e balance in
pay in private a n d in public e m p l o y m e n t achieved?
Loaded
Figures
or Hidden
Factors
It m u s t have been b r o u g h t about by t h e F e l d - H a m i l t o n .scales or
else t h e proclaimed balance is a fiction r a t h e r t h a n a f a c t . Either
the result proclaimed is due to unexplained f a c t o r s or t h e figures a r e
loaded to m a k e t h e findings w h a t t h e B o a r d desired.
W e h a v e characterized t h e findings of t h e salary s t u d y as
unsound, biased, p a r t i a l a n d calculated to mislead t h e average r e a d e r .
T h e statistician will easily discover t h e shortcomings a n d fallacies by
e x a m i n i n g t h e modes a n d frequencies, but modes a n d f r e q u e n c y disti'ibution are as unintelligble to t h e unsuspicious r e a d e r as they seem
to be to t h e technical staff of tlie survey.
T h e simple f a c t s a r e t h a t wages in p r i v a t e i n d u s t r y h a v e g e n e r ally doubled over p r e - w a r r a t e s while salary r a t e s of public employees
in New York h a v e increa.sed f r o m 14 p e r c e n t in t h e h i g h e r b r a c k e t
to 30 per cent in t h e lower brackets. D u r i n g t h e s a m e period t h e
cost of living h a s increased more t h a n 50 per cent.
Public
Employee
the Forgotten
Man
T h e public employee is t h e f o r g o t t e n m a n as f a r as pay is c o n cerned. H e is still behind the eight-ball. T h i s f a c t is everywhere
recognized except in New York. Tlie a n s w e r of public officials t o
salary requests generally t h r o u g h o u t t h e c o u n t r y is, "Yes, G e n t l e m e n ,
you need a n d deserve m o r e pay, but we j u s t h a v e n ' t t h e m o n e y . " I n
New York, t h e answer is, " G e n t l e m e n , we h a v e t h e money, but you
are now so well p a i d we c a n n o t in conscience increase your salary.
For details, see t h e S a l a r y S t u d y . "
Is it possible t h a t t h e m a j o r objective of the study is to discredit
t h e best salary law ever e n a c t e d ? Is it t r u e t h a t t h e r e a r r a n g e m e n t
of t h e p r e s e n t salary r a t e s is devised to eliminate t h e floors now
placed u n d e r salaries, a n d to remove t h e protection to p r o m o t i o n
rights, a n d to m a k e salaries again t h e football of every favoritism
a n d pressure?
I t is not t h e employee alone who is concei'ned. Every lover of
good g o v e r n m e n t h a s a stake in the m a t t e r .

WHAT EVERY STATE EMPLOYEE SHOULD KNOW
E
^^ ""
«
By T H E O D O R E
Would a S t a t e employee who is
removed f r o m service a f t e r being
f o u n d guilty on charges be p e r m i t t e d to w i t h d r a w his c o n t r i b u tions to t h e r e t i r e m e n t system?
T h i s question is brought to m i n d
by a recent case involving a
f o r m e r member of t h e police force
of t h e City of Rye who was r e moved on charges. He brought
suit against t h e city to obtain a
r e f u n d of t h e pension deductions
m a d e f r o m his m o n t h l y salary
d u r i n g t h e period when h e was in
service.
T h e lower court ordered t h e ref u n d , but on appeal to t h e Appell a t e Division, t h e higher court
reversed a n d held t h e deductions
f o r f e i t e d under t h e t e r m s of t h e
local law covering t h e pension
system.
T h i s s t a t u t e provides for t h e
p a y m e n t of deductions m a d e f r o m
salary for pension purposes to a
m e m b e r of the pension f u n d
should such m e m b e r "discontinue
service . . . except by d e a t h , r e t i r e m e n t , or di.smi.ssal. . , ." T h e
c o u r t reasoned t h a t t h e employee
h a d not discontinued service; t h a t
h i s I service was t e r m i n a t e d — n o t
by his voluntary a c t — b u t by dlsmisal. Since t h e local law m a d e
n o provision by r e p a y m e n t of p e n sion deductions u n d e r such circ u m s t a n c e s , t h e court ruled t h a t
t h e employee h a d no cause of action for t h e recovery thereof
(Donovan v. City of Rye).
Effect on State Act
W h a t effect does t h e decision
In tiie Donovan case h a v e when
applied to the S t a t e R e t i r e m e n t
Law? Section 61(1) of t h e Civil
Service Law provides t h a t if a
m e m b e r "discontinue S t a t e service, excoiit by death or retirement." he shall be entitled to a
r e f u n d of such p a r t of his accum u l a t e d contributions still s t a n d ing to liis credit.
T h i s provision h a s been the
subject of a t least t h r e e official
opinions of t h e A t t o r n e y - G e n e r a l
in t h e last decade.

I n 1942, t h e A t t o r n e y - G e n e r a l
was asked to rule on t h e case of
a m e m b e r of t h e r e t i r e m e n t syst e m who resigned while u n d e r i n d i c t m e n t , because of a s h o r t a g e
in his accounts, a l t h o u g h he h a d

not be paid unless by proper j u dicial a u t h o r i t y , b u t t h a t so f a r
as t h e m e m b e r ' s contributions
were concerned, t h e employee was
entitled to t h e i r r e t u r n
(1942
O.A.G. 156).
I n 1943, t h e A t t o r n e y - G e n e r a l
was asked w h e t h e r a n employee,
who resigned while u n d e r c h a r g e s
based on irregularities* in h i s a c counts, would b.3 entitled to a r e f u n d of his pension contributions.
T h e employee, incidentally, h a d
been indicted f o r g r a n d larceny

been sentenced to i m p r i s o n m e n t .
T h e A t t o r n e y - G e n e r a l pointed out
t h a t t h e resignation h a d been a c cepted a n d , therefore, t h e e m ployee h a d "discontinued his S t a t e
service by resignation, not by
d e a t h or r e t i r e m e n t . " Accordingly, t h e employee was entitled t o
a r e f u n d of his contributions.
The
Attorney-General

against t h e employee, in j u d g m e n t or otherwise, t h i s did not
authorize t h e Comptroller to w i t h hold t h e contributions to apply
toward satisfaction of such claim.
He pointed out t h a t Section 70
of t h e Civil Service Law protected
t h e r e t u r n of contributions f r o m
"execution, g a r n i s h m e n t , a t t a c h m e n t . or any o t h e r process w h a t ever." (1943 O.A.G. 137.)

J o h n T. D e G r a f f . counsel to t h e
employees' group, following t h e
meeting, s a i d :
" T h e R e t i r e m e n t Law is a most
difficult law to codify. T h e prese n t proposals a r e not only a work
of genius b u t they meet a longfelt need. Complexities of t h e
p r e s e n t law, which h a v e led to
