th a n $60,000
in benefits to 487 S ta te employees
d u rin g th e p a s t “benefit year.”
fro m Ju n e , 1947, to Ju n e 1948, no
claim s have been received from
any county or m unicipal em ­
ployees.
T he reason for th e absence cf
claim s fro m city or county em ­
ployees, according to Joseph J.
Crowe, h ead of th e Albany oflice
of D PU I, is th a t “no political su b ­
division of th e S ta te has applied
yet for coverage for th e ir em ­
ployees.”
U nem ploym ent in surance cover­
age option was extended to all
political sub-divisions of th e S tate
a t th e last session of th e Legis­
lature.
A n A s s o c ia tiu n B ill

Sponsored by T he Civil Service
Employees Association, th e H alp ern-G ugino Bill was enacted by
th e L egislature an d signed by
G overnor Dewey. I t extended u n ­
em ploym ent insu rance benefits to
city an d county employees on th e
sam e basis as now gi’an ted to
S ta te employees, at the pleasure
of th e local unit.
U nder th e law. form er S ta te
employees are en titled to benefits'*
based on wages earn ed in classi­
fied S ta te em ploym ent, if th e
qualifying wages were ea rn ed d u r­
ing th e course of a t least a year
of co ntinu ous em ploym ent.
E m ployees re tirin g from S ta te
service a n d who become eligible
fo r re tire m e n t benefits are not in ­
cluded u n d e r th e law.
L abor Dept. Leads
Mr. Crowe an nounced th a t a
to tal of 621 claim s were filed d u r­
ing th e p ast benefit year by S ta te
employees, of w hich 487 received
one or m ore checks. He said $30 417 in benefits were paid by th e
division to S ta te employees ''rom
Ju n e , 1947 to Ja n . 1 , 1948.
Since Jim e, 1948 there were 200
claim s fo r unem ploym ent in su r­
ance benefits filed w ith DPUI, of
w hich 78 nave received one or
m ore checks.
H alf to Labor Employees
N early h a lf of th e to tal am o u n t
of benefits paid out during Ju ne,
1947 to Ju n e 1948, th e division

F or a city or county to obtain

And for policies to be effective
on the 15th of th e m o n th th e
E>eduction C ards have to be in

Pi*emium Basis
All policies will be issued on th e
sa lary deduction basis, unless de­

S alary D eduction C ard
T h e salary deduction c a rd Is
very simple. In se rt th e n am e of

P rison G uard R etirem ent
To th e E ditor:
O ne of th e m ost im p o rta n t re a ­
sons for 25-year re tire m e n t for
uniform ed personnel, Is in th e dif­
ficulty in
Interesting , capable
young pien In becoming officers,
an d in th e high tu rn o v er am ong
th e young m en initially recru ited .
If our fu tu re organization is to be
built from th e ran k s, as it should
be, it is im p o rta n t t h a t to d a y ’s
custodial officers include individ­
uals w ith th e in h e re n t abilities
an d educational background w hich
will qualify th e m for th e top po­
sitions of w arden an d associate
w arden positions of th e fu tu re.
Also, since th e Inm ates a re gen­
erally young and vigorous, some
even very desperate, we need
sturdy, energtic. Intelligent officers
to guide and supervise them . O f­
ficers, w hen th e y are in co n tac t
w ith prisoners, are u n a rm e d and
they m ust depend upon th e ir p ro­
tection n o t only upon personality
an d leadership abilities, b u t also
upon th e ir physical qualifications,
th e ability to use th e ir h a n d s as in
ju jits u and sim ilar techniques. As
th e years roll by an d th e officers
grow older. It Is increasingly d if­
ficult for th e m to m eet th e re­
quired physical sta n d a rd ’s and
physical tests required.
T he recruiting age for officers is
tw enty-one years, b u t it h as been
found th a t very young m en m ake
poor officers. T h e average age of
new officers is m ore nearly th irty
th a n th e lower age. T h erefo re a
m a n entering th e ra n k s a t age
th irty would n o t be able to retire
u n til age fifty-five u n d er a 25-year
pension plan. Only a very sm all
portion of th e officers would be
able to retire a t age fifty or under.
T herefore th e cost to th e ta x ­
payers would n o t be prohibitive.
W hen th e average officer reaches
age 55 or 60 he h a s k>st th e spring
of youth an d is no longer able to
c a rry out his duties in a proper
m an n er. At th is age a “spot"
m u st be found to p u t th is officer,
th ereb y placing add ition al bur­
dens on th e younger an d m ore ag­
gressive officer, an d possibly plac­
ing th e in stitu tio n in jeopardy
because of th is fact.
T h e only possible answ er to this
problem of th e older officers versus
th e younger prisoners would ap­
p ear in an earlier re tire m e n t pro­
gram . We strongly favor, a t this
tim e, a 25-year re tire m e n t plan lor
uniform -personnel.
W e respectfully requ est and
urge th e G overnor, Commission­
er Moore an d all our legislators
to give th e above in fo rm atio n their
ea rn est consideration a n d aid and
assist th e officers in th e ir fight

About 500 tem porary Clerks, who
are working in th e p ost office in
Brooklyn, as well as 1,500 m ore
on th e Clerk eligible list who did
n o t receive even tem porary a p ­
po in tm en t, are strongly in favor
of th e consolidation of th e Clerk
lists for th e post offices included
in th e geographical lim its of
NYC. T hey argue th a t New Y ork
is, a fte r all one big city, an d n ot
in d ep en d en t boroughs.
If th e lists are consolidated, th e
eligibles on th e Brooklyn Clerk
list, both tem poraries an d n o n ­
appointees, see an o p p o rtu nity of
obtaining p e rm a n e n t jobs finally
in th e New York, N. Y., p«st office,
where no Clerk list exists. T hey
have been told th a t th e re is a

feel t h a t th e eligibles in B rooklyn

I n th e New Y ork, N. Y. p ost

T hey would be eligible to ta k e a

Thanks from P o stal Clerks
Editor, T h e LiElADER:
On behalf of th e 8,000 m em bers
of the New Y ork F ed eratio n of
Post Office Clerks, I sincerely
thank you for your friendly sup ­
port of our efforts to secure th e
recently g ra n te d sa lary increase
from Congress.
While th e a m o u n t of th e $450
granted, fell considerably sh o rt of
the $1,000 we originally sought as
necessary to resto re our pre-w ar
purchasing power, it will to some
extent, help ease th e economic
plight im posed upon th e fixedsalaried postal clerk by th e pres­
ent high costs of living.
The inadequacy of th e increase
may be gleaned from th e m ost r e ­
cent index released by th e U. S.
Dept, of Labor, w hich is now 207,
based on 1935-1939 as 100. A com­
parison of these figures w ith th e
pre-war p o stal salaries shows
clearly th a t th e postal wage of
today is ap pro xim ately 40 per cent
less in term s of p u rch asing power.
Your generous help in bringing
the attentio n of th e public to our
needs was m ost helpful an d is a p ­
preciated by th e postal clerks of
this city.
EPHRAIM HANDMAN,
President,
PATRICK J. FITZGERALD,

by nearly tw o-thirds, on th e a n ­

ceiving m ore th a n $ 11,000 a y ear
are excluded; so a re co nsultants,

dom iclalary hom es a n d p a rt-tim e
specialists. R esidents in tra in in g
an d senior ca d et nurses in tr a i n ­
ing likewise do n o t sh a re in th e
increase.
T he H a tc h ac t is ad m itted ly too
severe. E n acted for th e excellent
purpose of prev en tin g employees
from p artic ip a tin g in p a rtisa n pol­
itics a n d th u s possibly m aking com­
petitive jobs footballs of politics,
it is so sw eeping th a t it compels
th e U. S. Civil Service Commission
to hold th a t employees violated
th e act, a t least in its letter, w hen
th e Com mission often feels th a t
th e re was no real violation, and
t h a t th e le tte r .should be lib eral­
ized. Congress h a s n ’t done an y ­
th in g about it b u t probably will,
eventually. And one reason is
possibly th e D em ocratic n atio n al
convention.
At th a t blazing event a sw eet­
voiced young w om an who holds
a F ederal job — CAF-7 — was
selected by th e convention c h a ir­
m a n to sing “My O wn Old K e n ­
tucky H om e” following th e n o m ­
in a tio n of t h a t stu rd y K entuckian ,
Alben Barkley, P re sid en t T ru m a n ’s
ru n n in g -m a te . Well, th e question
arose w h eth e r o r n o t th a t would
be a violation of th e H a tc h act
an d , it would h av e been. W hy?
Because a F ed era l employee in
civil service s ta tu s m ay a tte n d a
political convention only as a n
observer, a n d a gal who sings a
song, no m a tte r how sweetly. Is
no observer, b u t a p a rtis a n p a r ­
ticip a n t! So she d id n ’t sing th e
song an d sh e ’s still a t h e r F ed e­
ral job. H ad she sun g it sh e’d be

considering tig h ten in g up on re g ­
ulations affecting perm ission to
employees to be tran sfe rred .
One of th e m eans of getting
m ore m oney is to ob ta in a tr a n s ­
fer to a position in a n o th e r d e­
p a rtm e n t or agency. A lthough th e
g rea t difiiculty alw ays h a s been
to find th e job w ith th e rich e r
rew ard, t h a t ’s become easier now,
w ith th e en larg em en t of civilian
hirin g by defense agencies.
Says S taffs Are R aided
Some of th e d e p a rtm e n ts a n d
agencies have been com plaining
th a t th e ir staffs are being raided
by defense arm s of th e govern­
m e n t for th e best civilian em ploy­
ees. P a rtic u la r m e n tio n was m ade
of th e A rm y field offices seeking
experienced F ederal personnel. T h e
problem h a s become so acute th a t
it h a s been called to th e a tte n tio n
of P resid en t T ru m a n a n d also to
th a t of th e Commission. No a c ­
tio n h as been ta k e n by either, b u t
it is expected th a t if th e practice
continues, an d th e agencies affec­
ted also co n tin u e th e ir com plaints,
it will be necessary to c o n tra c t th e
tra n s fe r privilege.
Slow to Say No
U n der p resen t reg u latio n s th ere
is considerable freedom in o b ­
ta in in g tra n sfe r. T h e person d e ­
sirous of a n o th e r job h a s to find
th e opening, o b tain th e willingness
of th e h e a d of th e d e p a rtm e n t to
h ire him , an d th e perm ission of
th e h ea d of his p rese n t d e p a r t­
m e n t to effectu ate th e tra n sfe r.
W hile such perm ission could be
w ithheld, it is em b arra sin g for
d e p a rtm e n t h eads to act in t h a t
way, in th e face of a need a sse r­
ted by a defense d e p a rtm e n t, so if
som e kind of b rak e is p u t upon
th e p rese n t freedom of th e re g u la ­
tions, th e d e p a rtm e n t h ea d s w ould
be sp ared relin q u ish m en ts a n d r e ­
ta in th e em ployees w ith w hom
th e y ’re unw illing to p art. I f p e r ­
m ission to leave a d e p a rtm e n t is
denied to a prom ised tran sfe re e,
he o ften accepts a jo b In p riv ate
indu stry, so t h a t Uie governm ent
loses h is seiTles nevertheless.

The installation of o£Bcers of the
Patrolmen’s Benevolent Associa­
tion was an outstanding affair,
with nearly 1,000 persons present
in the main ballroom of the Hotel
Astor, including Mayor William
O’Dwyer. himself a former Patrol­
man and former member of the
Association. Also, the Mayor spoke
right from the heart, in language
that the men understood and
loved, and they gave him an ap­
plauded reception that left no
doubt where he stood in their
estimation. He said that it had
been one of the great delights of
his life to provide top grade pay
in three years for the Patrolman
and to do all that he could to pro­
vide promotion opportunities. The
Mayor, as a Patrolman, had to
wait eight years before he could
compete in a test for a promotion
to Sergeant; so, he told his au­
dience, he studied law.

T h e Schick local law enables

T he C ourt of Appeals, as re ­

affirmed th e lower courts in fin d ­
ing th a t m ultiple "b est" answ ers
were in a p p ro p ria te, w here th e ex­
am in atio n p ap er called for th e
best answer. T h e lower courts
held th a t th e re could be only one
best arLswer. T h e C ourt of Appeals,
altho ugh unanim ous, w rote no
opinion.
The Com mission will restudy th e
nine questions case an d expects
to select one best answ er for
some of th e m and, where only
one answ er
does n o t strike
it as p tacticable, it will throw out
th e question entirely. E ith e r way,
th e re will be considerable re ­
shuffling of th e list. In general,

be applied sep arately to each
veteran, so t h a t a veteran does
n o t necessarily get retroactive
seniority to th e tim e th a t a lower
eligible was appointed or p ro ­
moted.
T he practice of the NYC Civil
Service Com mission h as been to
accord retroactive seniority on th e
basis of num erical order. A v eter­
a n h ig h er in relative sta n d in g on
a list gets th e seniority equal to
t h a t of th e n ex t lower one p re ­
viously appointed, following lit­
V e t e r a n s
S o m e
erally th e language of Section 246
of th e M ilitary Law.
Mr. M c G rath in h is opinion
points o u t t h a t if th e veteran
first ap pointed is disabled, he gets
p rim a ry preference, an d th erefore
a v eteran subsequently appointed,
who does n o t have disability r a t ­
ing, Is n o t en titled to th e sam e
seniority, b u t only to such senior­
ity as w’ould o btain for some o ther
n on-disabled v eteran lower down
on th e list, or n o n -v ete ra n who
was appointed.
Prom otions would be affected
likewise.

R esolutions were adopted by th e
B oard of E stim ate unanim oasly
approving proposed agreem ents
previously executed by Auto E ngin m an a n d Auto E ng in em an
(Police), for an n u a l salary, in s'lead of prevailing rates of per

Soon a fte r th e B oard h ad acted,
B udget D irector T hom as J. P a t ­
te rso n prophesied th a t a good
m a n y m ore would sign agreem ents,
u n d e r w hich th ey would receive the
$250 sa lary increase, an d th a t th e
oppo.sition to th e signing of such
agreem ents would eventually wear
itself out.
Tlie B oard vote follow'Pd a hec­

Service F oru m an d A ttorney Leo­
pold Rossi bitterly opposed th e
policy of offering agreem ents, in ­
ste a d of th e paym ent of prevail­

P a tte rso n Incensed a t Rossi
Mr. P a tte rso n was reported by
friend.s to have told th e m th a t
he was unable to u n d e rsta n d th e
a ttitu d e of som e Auto E nginem en,
an d th e Civil Service F oru m who
sup ported th e ir sta n d , in objecting
to employees being willing to a c ­
cept a $250 increase offered by
th e B oard of E stim ate. He was
referrin g to objections to accep­
ta n ce of a n a n n u a l agreem ent w ith
th e city, w herein a group of Auto
E nginem an, m em bers of an o th er
union, in stea d of w anting p re ­

T he $250 goes to those who sign
th e agreem en t an d waive prevail­

Mr. P a tte rso n was particu larly

NYC D istrict Council 37, of th e
A m erican F ed eratio n of S tate,
County an d M unicipal Employees
(AFL> is seeking an ultim ate $3,500 sa lary for Auto Enginem en.
T hose Auto E nginem en who sign
a n n u a l ag reem ents will receive th e
$250 p e rm a n e n t pay increase if
th e B oard of E stim ate approves a
resolution now before it.
To get tlie $250 increase. Auto
E nginem en are asked to sign an
agreem en t no t to in stitu te any
prevailing r a te action between Ju ly
1, 1948 an d Ju n e 30, 1949. Should
th e B oard of E stim ate g ra n t th e
basic $250 increase, B udget Direc­
to r T ho m as J. P atterso n has in ­
dicated th a t he will try to revise
th e wage stru c tu re of Auto E n ­
ginem en on a basis which will
yield e^iual pay for equal work.
H e recently fullilled a prom ise to
increase th e ap p o in tm en t ra te to
$1,740 ($2,400 w ith bonus).
H enry Feinstein, D istrict Council
president, is confident th a t a study
would resu lt in th e raising of th e
salaries of all Auto Enginem en an
ad d itio n a l $250, constituting a
to ta l increase of $500 for every
A uto E ng in em an receiving up to
$3,250, w ith a possibility of con­
tin u ed negotiation th a t will pro­
vide add ition al increase for those
receiving m ore th a n $3,250.
“ In m ost cases. City employees
w ho obtained prevailing rates in
tlio Aulo E ng inem an category,
u n d e r Section 220, would find in
th e end th a t tiieir salaries had
been reduced r a th e r th a n in ­
creased, as was th e case w ith th e
M ain ten an ce M en,” said Mr. F ein­
stein.
“F or instan ce, all Auto Enginem en who h av e been w ith th e City
long enough to have received all
increm ents, bonuses an d pay in ­
creases, including th e 1948-49
wage increase of $250, an d th e
add ition al contem plated $250, will
presently receive $3,250 per year.
T h e best t h a t could be earned
u n d er a m axim um prevailing ra te
for a full 250-day year would be
less th a n $3,250.
P raise for M ayor O ’Dwyer
“T h ere is also th e th r e a t of new
classifications of Auto Enginem en
in accordance w ith th e type of ve­
hicle operated. T he prevailing
r a te m igh t also bring loss of m an y
privileges an d rig h ts now enjoyed
by those on a per a n n u m basis,
such as vacations, sick leaves, etc.
“F o r these reasons we oppose
th e establishm ent of th e prevailing
ra te u n d e r conditions as revealed
by our survey.
“ M eanwhile, if a t th e expira­
tion of th e agreem ent a t th e end
of th e fiscal year, th e D istrict
Council feels th e establishm ent of
th e prevailing ra te u n der Section
220 will en han ce th e earning sta tu s
of Auto E nginem en, it will th e n
recom m end th e filing of actions
u n d er th is L abor Law Section.
“ M uch praise is due M ayor W il­

in th e effort of D istrict Council
