By MAXWELL LEHMAN
M ay 10—T h e employhave won th e celebrated Deilarco case.
In m o n e y , th is m eans n early
$3000,000 for employees of th e
State of N e w York.
The Appellate Division la st week
unanimously affirmed th e decision
of Special T erm of th e S uprem e
:ourt, thus probably settlin g w ith
finality one of th e m ost m o m en ­
tous cases of its kin d ever to be
fought before th e courts of th e
State. The unan im o us decision
means that th e S ta te could n o t
take the case to th e C ourt of Ap­
peals without special permission.
Representing th e p etitio ners was
John T. DeGraff, to g eth er w ith
John E. Holt-Harris, Jr., Counsel
and Assistant Counsel, respectiveb', of The Civil Service Employees
Asociation. R epresenting th e S ta te
were a group of attorn eys fro m
the Attorney G eneral's office, w ith
Assistant A ttorney G eneral J o h n

Those who sponsor legislation
tod ay m u st have m ore th a n pi-epp ra tio n an d enthusiasm . Success­
ful legislation requires th e coop­
e ra tio n of th e a d m in istra tio n in
power a n d of th e individual m em ­
bers of th e legislature- T his year,
w ith few exceptions, th a t coopera­
tion was generously extended.
I t is encouraging to note t h a t
w here areas of disagreem ent de­
veloped, conferences an d nego­
tiation s often successfully dispelled
th e difficulties an d reconciled d i­
vergent points of view. As in p ast
years, th e Association endeavored
to c re ate a framework, w ith in
w hich problem s arising out of
public em ploym ent could be fully
and fran k ly discussed.
T he D isappointm ents
T h e session was no t w ithout Its
disapp ointm en ts an d failures. Not
one m ajo r liberalization of th e
laws respecting retire m en t was ef­
fected. T h e veto, in other in sta n c ­
es, nullified proposals w hich th e
Association honestly feels are n ec­
essary to improve a n d extend th e
m erit system. Even in failure it
m u st be observed t h a t th e door
h a s n o t been closed. T his is p a r ­
ticularly tru e in the field of r e ­
tire m e n t legislation. P a st liistory
conclusively proves t h a t some pro­
posals will m eet success only a fte r
several years of inability to reach
a com m on ground. We a re co n ­
vinced th a t the' fou n d atio n has
been well laid and th a t, in tim e,
a good sound stru ctu re ca n be
built on t h a t foundation.
We extend our thank.s to th e
Governor, to F ra n k C. Moore,

t h a t th e Condon-W adlin bill, en­
ac te d In the preceding session, h as
in no way ham pered th e effective­
ness of th e Association. T his fac t
alone augurs well for th e future.
P a rtic u la r atten tio n Is directed
to t h a t p a r t of th is rep o rt in
which th e cu rre n t proposals for
am ending th e present co n stitu ­
tional provisions respecting Vet­
erans Preference are discussed.
T hese proposals are of p ara m o u n t
intere.st to everyone in th e career
service an d we strongly urge th a t
they be m ade th e subject of dili­
gent study an d concerted action
du ring the coming year.
Salary Lvgislation
T h e A ssociation’s progress in
thi.s field is m arked by th e s h a t­
terin g of a long and restrictive
precedent. T his year, for th e first
tim e, tile Association an d th e a d ­
m in istratio n held extended con­
ferences w ith respect to S ta te sa l­
aries. We were fu rn ish ed w ith all
th e facts and figures w hich we
deemed nece.ssary and our own
proposals and counter-proposals
were fully an d carefully consid­
ered. We are confident th a t a new
an d sound precedent for fu tu re
sa la ry discu.sslons has been e stab ­
lished. O ur conviction in th is re.spect is .strengthened by th e a s­
surance w hich th e G overnor gave
a t our an n u a l dinner t h a t th e
conferences w hich preceded th is
session are th e fo rerunners of fu ­
tu re conferences in th e years
ahead.
I t is of high significance th a t
th e b itterness w hich was e n ­
gendered by our failure to ob tain
em ergency salary increases in th e
1947 .session was now here evident
in th is year. Equally significant is
th e obvious fac t t h a t our m ilita n t
cam paign last year was th e p r e ­
cursor of th is y ear’s harm onious
solution.
Em ergency Increases
O ur conferences w ith , th e a d ­
m in istratio n resulted in th e e n ­
ac tm e n t of th ree bills. These bills
gran te d emergency salary in ­
creases to employees of all S ta te
dep artm en ts, th e employees of th e
Legislature, an d those employed
in th e Judiciary.
By the provisions of th ese m e a ­
sures, a n emergency salary a d ju stI m e n t effective April 1, 1948 g r a n t­
ed a 15% salary increase on th e
first $3,000 of basic salary, a n In ­
crease of 10% on the 4th a n d 5th
th o u sa n d dollars, an d a n increase
of 5% on th e rem aind er above $5,000. T hese increases, u nd er th e
express provisions of th e bills, are
reg arded as salary for re tire m e n t
purposes. T he percentages are
com puted on th e gross salary as
of April 1, 1948 (including an y in ­
cre m en t payable on th a t date) an d
are calculated before th e value of
m a in te n an c e is deducted. T he p e r­
centag es, are com puted on all sa l­
aries up to $12,000 and th e to ta l
am oim t of Individual increase is
lim ited to $900.
T h e m em bership Is undoubtedly
acq u ain ted w ith th e provisions of
th ese bills. F or thaL reason th ey
will n o t be discussed in detail
here. We feel th a t th e im p ortance
of t h t precedent created, as well
as increases themselves, are a m ­
ple testim ony on th e fa c t t h a t
m em bership, an d interest in As­
sociation activities, are “m u sts”

th e last war, h a d provided t h a t
public employees were e n titled to
30 days leave w ith pay in an y

eral h a d issued a n opinion t h a t
th e only persons en titled to such
pay were those who h ad no choice
or volition in deciding w hen or
how such du ty could be perform ed.
O n th e o th er h an d , th e reserve
organizations of th e F ederal forces

result, it was impossible, u n d er
th e opinion of th e A ttorney G e n ­

T h e Association d rafted a bill,

^ urticlcs conccrninci the Group pUin

t'liqible for m em bership in The
i'ivil Service Employees Associoiion.
By CHARLES A. CARLISLE. JR.
T er Bush & P o w e ll. Inc.
1 he Civil Service Employees As.sociatiou has as its primary mo­
tive ihe w elfare of its members
us a whole.
With th is Iho ug ht in mind, in
3936 (ho In su ra n ce Committee of
the Association conceived the idea
that the m em bership of the As.sociation, being a very large group,
.^hoiikl be entitled to purchase
income protection in the form of
accident an d sickness insurance at
i< rate lower th a n th a t paid by the
individual.
After considerable discussion
ar 1 consideration of various plans
jind ideas, a broad-form , low-cost
Group P lan of Accident and Sick­
ness Insxirance was worked out
which was to be m ade available
to the Association members at a
price of o n e -th ird to one-half of
th a t paid for th e individual policy.
Protection T he M ain Purpose
T he p rim a ry tho u g h t was to
help Association members in time
of need, by providing a steady
m onthly check equivalent to a
large percentage of th e regular
salary of the m em ber, during any
period- of disability due to an un♦ xp/cted accident or illness. Tliis
protection for the members’ in­
come is arran g e d a t so low a cost
th a t every eligible person should
take advantage of it.
Association Membership
This plan, it was decided, must
be made available to all persons
eligible for m em bership in the As­
sociation, blit it was also agreed
th a t it would be necessary for
nnyone ta k in g out th is insurance,
who was not already a member,
to become a m em ber of the As­
sociation w itliin a reasonable time
after his insurance became eflecIh ’e.
This p la n has' now increased so
th a t there are m any thousands of
membors insured under it, and the
ferinufll ■fclaftn benefits are averagiiig about $250,000 a year, with a
total paym ent s i n c e t h e p l a n
started of m o re t h a n $1,500,000.

W hat Public
Employees
Should Know
Merit Man
Veterans E ntitled to
Hearing Where Rem oval
is Threatened
By THEODORE BECKER
h e rig h t to a h earin g and to
court review in a case of th e
removal of a n employee on
charges js of u tm o st Im portance
because of th e o ppo rtu n ity a f­
forded, in th e first instance, to
cross-examine th e witnesses based
on a review of th e record to see
whether th e re is an y evidence in
support of th e charges.
In recognition of th e ir services
to the com m unity, w ar v eterans
and exempt volunteer firem an
have been accorded th is added
protection ag a in st rem oval from
their civil service jobs. Section 22
of the Civil Service Law provides
th a t they c a n n o t be rem oved from
their positions (in th e com peti­
tive, non-com petitive, or exem pt
class—other th a n secretary, dep­
uty or cashier) except for incom­
petency or m isconduct “shown
after a h earin g upon due notice
upon stated charges, w ith the
right to su ch employee or a p ­
pointee to review” p u rsu an t to
Article 78 of th e Civil P ractice Act.
Entitled to C ourt Review
Accordingly, if a w ar veteran
or an exempt volunteer firem an is
removed a fte r a h earing on
charges, he is entitled to a court
review, and w here th e d eterm in a­
tion of removal is m ade a fte r a
hearing is held an d evidence taken
pursuant to sta tu to ry direction
and the sufficiency of th e evi­
dence is p u t in issue, th e case
can be h e a rd in th e first in ­
stance in th e A ppellate Division
of the Suprem e Court. This ex­
pedites th e review on behalf of
the employee Involved an d is a
decided ad v an tag e to him.
But, suppose th e v eteran in th e
case was not removed a fte r the
hearing, but was found guilty and
-reprimanded for some charges
and suspended w ithout pay for
two months on an o th er charge. Is
such a veteran en titled to a re­
view by an appellate court before
the case is acted on by a lower
court? This was th e issue re ­
cently decided in th e Suprem e
Court in New York County in the
case of a New York City em­
ployee.
In the notice of th e charges
against him, th is employee, a
war veteran, was advised “ If you
are found guilty of th e above
charges, you will be subject to re ­
moval from your position unless
in the discretion of th e A uthority
a lesser p enalty will be deemed
sufficient.”
A fter th e hearing,
penalties o th e r th a n removal were
imposed.
T h e v eteran sought
court review an d im m ediate tr a n s ­
fer of the case to th e Appellate
Division.
Court Followed P recedent
The defend ants of the suit
urged th a t inasm u ch as the p en­
alties Imposed did n ot constitute
a removal, th e h earing was not
one required by law and, hence,
no right to go directly to the
higher court existed.
In arriving a t its determ ination,
the court in th is case considered
prior cases relied upon by th e de­
fendants an d decided th ey were
not controlling. In th e case of
Greenfield v. Moses, th e employee
involved h a d n o t been removed,
but had been fined w ithout a
hearing. In asm u ch as th e penalty
had been decided on an d Imposed
in advance an d such penalty was
less th a n removal, no h e a r ­
ing was required in th a t case.
In the case of T ie rn a n v. Walsh,
the Coiu-t of Appeals h a d said “R e­
moval of th e p etitioner was not
sought and Section 22 of the Civil
Service law has no application
here.”
In the present case, th e Court
noted, removal of the v eteran was
a distinct possibility as appeared
from the notice of charges, even
though a lesser penalty was ulti­
mately imposed. T he court said:
“I hold th a t w here charges are
brought ag ain st a v eteran which
may result in his removal he is
given the rig h t to a statutory
hearing, and if foxmd guilty he is
entitled to a review of the evi­
dence, irrespective of the punish ­
ment inflicted. T he penalty m eted
out at th e conclusion of a h e a r ­
ing cannot convert th e n a tu re of
the proceeding from a sta tu to ry
one to a discretionary hearing ”
Accordingly, th e case was o r­
dered tpknsferi*ed fo^the-AiipellaWDiviBion, (Brown v. M oses;,

JAMES LESLIE W IN N IE
■A M E S L E SL IE W INNIE argues
fo rm idab ly for more m erit in
the m e rit system. He holds th a t
“ho nesty an d efficiency in public
service a re dependent upon th e
in teg rity of th e civil service.”
H e’s a v eteran of 26 years in
public service himself. In his c a r ­
eer h e h a s seen exam ples of th e
spoils system an d examples of
merit. H e’s been able to size up
the resu lts of b(^th systems on th e
work of G overnm ent.
And “Lee” is a powerful fighter
for th e rig h ts a n d prestige of p u b ­
lic employees— he feels th a t these
factors m u st inevitably have a di­
rect effect on th e quality of gov­
ernm ent. P oorly selected, u n d er­
paid, underprivileged public work­
ers c a n n o t do the job which wellpaid, self-i-especting employees,
selected th ro u g h a modern p er­
sonnel system , will do.
Active for Employees
He works to effectuate his th e o ­
ries as rep resentativ e of Che­
m ung C h a p te r and a m em ber of
the B o ard of D irectors of th e p a r ­
ent Civil Service Employees Asso­
ciation. J. Leslie is a descendant
of one of th e early D u tch families
of Beaverw yck now Albany. His
im m ig ran t ancestor, P ete r Wirine,
was a com m issary of K ilhan Van
Rensselaer, th e first patroon, one
of th e first m ag istrates of Albany
and a fo u nd er of th e F irst D u tch
R eform ed C hurch. So th e heritage
of public service goes deep into
th e fam ily roots.
B orn in Cleveland, in 1903, Les’s

York S ta te early. He atten d ed
public schools in C ortland, and
high school in C ortland and B ing­

T he W estchester Assn.
The W estchester County Com­
petitive Civil Service Association
was organized in October 1937 and
in c o r p o r a t e in Ja n u ary 1944.
From a numerically small begin­
ning' the Association has grown
to over 1300 County employee
members, is in a strong position
financially and m aintains its own
offices. I t has become recognized
as the accepted consultant on
County Service m atters as a r e ­
su lt of its continued fostering of
sound personnel practices and f a ir
salary scales, a reasonable and
cooperative approach in w orking
fo r improvements, and its whole­
h earted backing by the entire body
of employees.
Chief among m atters in which
an active p a r t was tak en by the
Association or which were spon­
sored by it, are: revision of P e r­
sonnel Rules and establishm ent of
the Classification Board— 1941; reinaugiuration of general County
Sei*vice increases In 1942 and plac­
ing them on a yearly basis— 1945;
establishm ent of W ar Em ergency
Compensation in 1943 and placing
on a flexible semi-annual a d ju st­
m ent basis— 1944; a complete pay
scale surv ey by an outside agency
in which the Association actively
participated and which r e s u l t ^ in
general upw ard revision of scales
— 1946. The Association h<as also
conducted a numiber of fa c t finding
surveys a t the request of the Ad­
m inistration ; provided and m ain­
tained an Honor Roll of County
employees on m ilitary duty; made
available low-cost accident and
•sickness, and life insurance plans
in cooperation with the Ajlministration.
E arly in 1942 the Association
began to be consulted for leader­
ship and advice by other local
gi’oups and began the groundw ork
fo r a Countywide and Statew ide
organization of public employees.
O ther groups had been w orking
tow ards this same end and in Oc­
tober 1946 a Statewide group, The
Civil Sei-vice Employees Associa­
tion, Inc., was formed.

Mr. G erlach’s relations with
County employees w ere off to a
happy s ta r t when he included in­
creases fo r about one-third of the
County Service in the 1942 Budget
within a few months of ta k in g of­
fice. These were the first general
County increases since 1930 and
had been recommended by Judge
Bleakley before leaving office. D u r­
ing* 1942 Mr. Gerlach began a
policy of discussing various gen­
eral employee m a tte rs with the of­
ficers of_ this Association, which
resulted in the establishm ent of a
pleasant, w orking relationship and
has brought m any benefits to the
County and the County Service. It
is a simple tr u th th a t well treated
employees do bettei- work for the
g re a te r benefit of all.
Among the m ajor benefits to the
-employees have been the establish­
ment in 1944 of the first flexil)le
cost-of-living sa lary ad ju stm e n t in
New York S ta te ; a complete and
cooperative sa la ry study and up­
ward revision of pay scales in 1945;
the establi.shment of a policy of
annual increments w ithin th e lim­
its of pay scales in 1945; the set­
tin g of a basic 40-hour work week
in i947. One of the chief but more
intangible of these benefits has
been the establishm ent by the
County Executive of a “ County
Policy” on all im p o rta n t personnel
•matters; resu ltin g in a generally
uniform application to all em­
ployees and g rea tly reducing p er­
sonnel unrest. Employee-paid pay­
roll deduction plans of accident
and sickness, and of life insurance
sponsored by the Association, have
been serviced by the Countv on
approval of Mr. Cevlach.
