IDOLS Of THE NATION l l Americans have a blind faith in bigness, whether in business or in government or in finance. We believe in bigness because it is supposed to be essential to the American W ay of Salvation, which is to produce more and more by stan d ard ized machme methods. Probably no people ever lived so much by faith a s the rep u ted hard-headed Americans and probably no other people ever p u t th e ir faith in gadgets or the pro­ duction and m anipulation of gadgets, r a th e r th a n in th« higher satisfactions of which life is capable. I like gad gets myself but I insist t h a t life is more than gadgets. I derive certain pleasures from tinkering with adult tinker-toys for home and garden. I like com­ plicated tools and labor-saving devices. B ut I ask myself sometimes as to w hether the machine does not become a good in itself r a th e r th a n merely a means to a good end. “ Man is th e m easure of all things” w rote a grand old Roman many centuries ago. Tools exist for man and not man for tools. T h e R u le B o o h a n d th e Cog A s any enterprise igrows big, it becomes more for­ mal and more mechanical. Procedures, methods and rule books ta k e the place of personal contacts and p er­ sonal advice. Th3 employee tends to become a cog in the big machine. As Government becomes big business, the same ten­ dency is evident. The employee y o rk s for his bos, w hereas in simpler times he w orked with him. Routine tak es th e place of personal contacts. The employee sees his boss only on certain artificial times, as on the annual picnic or dance or get-together. In America most business and most enterprise* started as partnerships. It was easier and ch eaper to get a p a rtn e r to be paid out of future profits (if paid a t all) th a n to employ persons who had to be paid in hard cash on re g u la r pay days. The strange thing is th a t the partnership, even if it brought in little cash, worked on the whole b e tte r th a n the cash pay system because of the larged hum an satisfaction. H ig h est H u m a n C haracteristics Can a large organization retain the highest hum an characteristic of concern for an interest in all the wor­ kers? Can it confine the m echanization to th e machine# and tr e a t th e employees as people? Can th e Government, which today is big business, retain hum an and moral qualities in its contacts with the public and w ith the public employees? Can it tr e a t ita employees as people, as partners ra th e r th a n as tools or automatons? The answer is yes, if it refuses to carry mechanization and stereotyped adm inistration to excess.

Sidney Wins W ith X-Ray And Zygoma T h e P a r tn e rs h ip The times call for close cooperation and good human relationships all around. The people properly w ant the utmost of public service; and in seeking this they do not distinguish between top adm inistrators and th e millions of ra n k and file w orkers responsible fo r this service. Indeed th eir contacts are mostly w ith the arm y of average employees and seldom w ith the brass. T he people w ant the highest and most efficient service from all levels of administration. Obviously, the needs and desires of the public can only be m et by a partnership between top officials and th e piofessional and skilled doers of those countless tasks below the strictly policy-forming level. This w orking togeth er as partners must be close, sincere, intelligent, and must rad iate a laoor relations policy th a t is hum ane and just.

N inth Year Americans Largest W eekly fo r Public Employeeg Vote U. s. Raise! It's Long Overdue! hour ot decision on salary increases for Fede­ A sralTHEemployees draw s breathlessly near, a tenseness grips employees because assurance of a raise has been only personal with individual eSnators and R epresenta­ tives, and not the p arty policy it should have been. No basis for uncertainty ever should have been perm itted by the two m ajor political parties. The dispute over the difference in amount, which has caused delay, could have been settled early even b etter th a n late, and hardpressed workers spared the nervous tension. The employee organizations have been w aging a strong light, now a t an increased tempo, to w rest the best possible result from a Congress th a t should make amends a t once for failure to discharge a real respon•ibility promptly. Trapped Employees Deserve Rescue Caught in a floating net of risen and rising prices, the Federal workers must get a salary increase. States, cities, and other local governments have granted, or are about to grant, pay raises. There is no possible excuse for having the Classification Act, which sets F ederal pay for a million workers, constitute employees as secondclass citizens. Certainly the employees’ services have been and are outstanding. Even an $800 increase would fail fully to compensate the employees for their services or to meet the dem ands of their plight, now grown des­ perate and even bitter. It is fortunate th a t organization is strong among F ederal employees. W ithout it their pay fight m ight have had no chance a t all. The deluge of mail and telegrams th a t descended on Congress last week from Federal employees and their friends, the public, m ust have convinced lagging legislators th a t the voice of the nation is almo.'^t unanimous in support of a pay increase. And it is the voice of the real employer. A sizeable number of legislators, including leaders, was convinced long ago. The strength and aggressiveness of the postal em­ ployee organizations of both Letter Carriers and Clerks, have helped the salary bill enormously. F or w^hatever is obtained, much credit must be given to them. Low Pay Shocking News to Public 'Fhe postal employees have long been underpaid, yet the Post Ofiice is one of the most efficient branches of government, despite being taxed with increasing tasks and with staggering seasonal work overloads. The Letter Carriers particularly are able to rally public support be­ cause they meet the public; but the Clerks’ task is on a par. The lusty momentum generated by the Clerks’ or­ ganization has been a stout help to the pay cause. The public knows little about F ederal pay, even postal pay. W hen it learns, as it does w hen a pay increase campaign is being waged, th a t the governm ent gives a stiff examination and appoints only its pick of th« competitors, a t less than $40 a week, the public is shocked. United Support Still Essential It seems strange th a t there is any haggling over a flat increase of $800 for F ederal worT^ers, when their average increase in pay since y939 has been only 32 per cent, while the cost of living, as reported by the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, rose 67 per cent. During the lame nine years workers in nine basic industries received pay increases averaging 120 per cent. Leaders of employee organizations feel confident th a t a raise will be granted and are striving to attain as size­ able an amount as possible. Members of the organizations, Federal employees generally, and the public a t large, Jf they have not joined in asking their Senators and Repre■^ntatives for adoption of the increase, should do so at once.

Months of Work THe Increase came after a 2- hour wransrlt among the Supervisoni, split along party lines. An impassioned plea by Robert Stilson. President of the chapter, was effective. This was the culmina­ tion of a long campaign by the employees for better pay to meet present-day living costs. They had fought for the same increase formula as th a t won by State employees; the $250 was a com­ promise gain. And the chapter plans to go on from there. The increase applies to nearly all County employees. Excluded are certain high offlcitils. Court house cleaners, and chaplains, get the increase. An increase of $125 was voted to various county phy­ sicians, each of the three civil service commisloners, and the mortgage tax clerk.

CAItLISI.E. JR. The purpose of Accident and Ickness Insiu-ance is to reimburse employed person for at least part of the income usually lost lie to disability on account of Ickness or accident. This plan lis no effect on any sick leave |fneflts to which you are en­ vied or to any form of benefit w may get. Under the Group of Accident and Sickness surance, you receive benefits fom the first day of disability accidents, and beginning with *eighth day for illnesses. Accident and sickness insurance designed to assist a disabled srson In paying doctors' hospital, Si nurses’ bills, and supplying necessary money to the family Jf, food, rent, etc. during this fiod of disability. Finally then, main purpose of Accident and '■tae.ss Insurance is to supple“fnt lost income or to augment ^ other income th at the dis­ ced employee may get during a lability. Every public employee In New State, including employees State or of a county, city, 1^- district or village, who are TOle for membership in The Service Employees Associaapply for the Group of Accident and Sickness InTirauce. J^re specifically, any person applies should be 50 years of ” or less, in good health, free chronic or recurring disI * and Infirmities and desirous ®ost, broad coverage Indemnity income protecWphf unexpected acor sickness. ^ Persons insured under this Ian {(j insurance must be memthe Association or must ? Association as soon as the u y is issued. This plan is for 'tu Q of members of The ^ onfy'^^^® Employees Associa- th a t makes you a sub-standard risk? Do you expect to have an operation or have you been told th at you have high or low blood pressure, heart trouble or any other impairment? These are some of the things the insurance com­ pany m ust know, before a policy can be issued. I want to explain th at the pur­ pose of any form of insurance is to protect you against an unex­ pected event. Fire Insurance, for instance, cannot be purchased after your house is on fire, but m ust be purchased before a fire occurs and even then not in con­ templation of a fire. So, accident and sickness insurance is pur­ chased to protect you in case of an unexpected accident or illness. It would not be fair to the thou­ sands of persons already insured to accept applications from per­ sons who are sub-standard risks, luiless we obtained a much higher premium from them or eliminated from coverage such impairments or infirmities th at already exist. Some impairments or potential disabilities which already exist can not be eliminated from coverage. Some of these are pre-existing tuberculosis, heart trouble, ulcers, high blood pressure, etc. Because these conditions affect the entire system. But if a person has now or has had hemorrhoids, attacks of appendicitis, chronic bronchitis, hernia, hives, female disorders, shingles, sinusitis, etc. we can us­ ually waiver th a t condition and cover all other disabilities. Waivers A waiver is a m utual agreement between the policy-holder and the company, acknowledging certain physical Impairments and elimin­ ating these impairments from cov­ erage under the policy. These waivers, then, make the applicant acceptable and place the applic­ ant on the same basis as any ab­ solutely well person. For example, if an employee de­ sired this insurance and had had an operation for appendicitis, her­ nia, etc. the company often will issue a policy but put a rider on the policy excluding any claim for any disability arising from the particular operation. Riders can be attached to the policy for many ailments such as: Back injury, bursitis, deformed limbs, gastritis, simple goitre, hayfever, hydrocele, kidney stones, lo ^ of hand, arm, toes, etc., lumbago, mastoiditis, neuritis, prostatitis, sinusitis, tonsilitis, etc. .j, Application Ianit insured imder this >ort Ki * ^®c®ssary to complete a On ““^comprehensive applica‘‘Ctually this application, Questioru should be addressed forms the basis for Iom ^ itln g the risk.

Gilleran Memorial Public Works Chapter of The Civil Service Employees Association and their guests. I t was the first event of its kind held by the Chapter and was a decided success. The members of the Social Committee, headed by Joseph A. O'Hare, presented an evening of enjoyable entertain­ ment. The homey atmosphere of the inn enhanced the enjoyment. Con­ versation gradually gave way to dining. All joined in community singing led by President John Cox who later offered several solos. As the meal was finished and the lights turned low, the tables were pushed to one side and a variation of dance music was rendered by The Circle In n or­ chestra. Congratulations were ex­ tended to th e Chapter officers and the Social Committee, who re­ sponded with the statem ent th at it was o n lj the beginning. ♦ EDITOHIAL State Must Raise Workers Car Rate SURVEY of the operating costs of employee-ovi^ned cars, based on the exhaustive research of the A Runzheim er Company of Chicag^o, was released by the Automobile Association of America. The pre-w ar ra te was a flat five to six cents a mile, considered inadequate An. upw ard adjustm ent to either a daily or yearly quantative r a te w as recommended. A canvass of the rates paid by companies to the operators of pre-w ar cars ran g ed from a low of 87 cents a day base allowance, plus 2.8 cents a mile, to $1.13 base allowance plus 3.8 cents a mile. The rates paid to operators of post-war cars ranged from a $1.18 base, plus 3.5 cents to $1.46 base plus 3.5 cents. The average figure came to about $1 a day base allowance and 3.5 cents fo r p re-w ar cars, and $1.30 a day base allowance plus 3.5 cents for post-war cars. These figures prove conclusively th a t the rates paid to S tate employees who must use th e ir cars on State business need immediate u pw ard revision.
