in th e ir w ork in th e A ssociation in the past. They will, I
am sure, continue so to serve if they are chosen.
F o r myself, I had hoped to be discharged and re tire d

In deciding w hich employees

ALBANY, Aug. 9— Represen­
tativ es of the Civil Service E m ­
ployees Association conferred with
officials of the Civil Service De­
partm en t on Aupfust 4, with ref­
erence to changes in civil service
regulations providing for a new
method of rating civil service exa­
minations.
The new system provides th a t:
Passing m arks on examinations
may now be set with reference to
the number and quality of eligibles needed and the difficulty of
the test, instead of always being
/ixed a t the arithm etic percentage
of 75 of the questions asked. The
top ratin g of 100 may be given
to the best paper in an exam i­
nation when a test is too difficult
for anybody to answer all the ques­
tions correctly in the time allowed.
Results of examinations will still
be expressed “ on a scale of 100 ,”
and the passing m ark will be re ­
ported as “ 75” but not as “ 75% .”
Different S taling Form ulas
When the passing m ark of 75
is on a stric t percentage basis, the
amended regulations provide a
choice of several different form u­
las for scaling all other ratin g s
in an examination. The form ula
used and reasons for its use are
to be shown to candidates upon r e ­
quest. All ratin g s m ust be p o s t e d
to the individual examination pap­
ers before the papers are identi­
fied, thus preventing adjustm ent of
the ratin g scale in favor of indi­
vidual candidates.
Those present a t the conference
included Charles Campbell, Admi­
nistrative Director, Thomas LB ransford, D irector of Exam i­
nations for the D epartm ent of
Civil Service; Jesse B. McFarland,
Vice P resident, Jo h n E. H o lt-H arris, Counsel, J. D. Lockner, Execu­
tive Secretary, and William F.
McDonough, Executive Represen­
tative, for the Civil Service Em ­
ployees Association.
Purposes of the Plan
The new plan was fully ex­
plained by the civil service of­
ficials. Tt was stated th a t the plan
was now being used in m any other
jurisdictions and was checked by
the examination experts of the de­
p artm en t and adopted only a fte r
its practicability seemed w ithout
question.
I t was felt by Civil Service of­
ficials th a t the plan will result in
making possible the supplying of
lists of qualified candidates for the
many positions in the State service
much more expeditiously than
other present regulations, th a t
standards will be improved, and
th a t the fact of adjustm ents of
ratin g s on the new point basis will
not be follow’ed w ithout the ap­
proval of both the D irector of
E xam inations and the A dm inistra.
tive Director assures complete
guarding of exam ination pro
cedures.
Complete Confidence
Association representatives urged
th a t as th e m erit system is essen­
tial to good civil governm ent, an ef­
ficient competitive
examination
process is essential to the success
of the m erit system. They pointed
out citizens and civil service em­
ployees m ust alw ays have complete
confidence th a t the ra tin g plan
will m aintain the quality of exa­
m inations and the standards of
fitness ap p ro p riate to th e p articu la r
job to which applied. They stressed
the im portance of the exercise of
the m ost careful personal responsi­
bility on the p a rt of the D irector
of E xam inations and the Adminis­
trativ e D irector in th e case of
each examination.
No Svibstitiites
“ The public now has confidence
in the practicability of testin g
piocesses in public personnel ad­
m inistration and they understand
th a t there is no substitute for
open oppor!:unity for citizens to
qualify for public positions on the
basis of ability proven in open
competitive tests,” said one of
the A ssociation’s spokesmen.
Association representatives ex­
pressed full assurance as to the
desire and will of the Civil Service
D ep a rtm en t officials to utilize th e
new method intelligently and fa ir­
ly, and assured the Commission of
Association cooperation in all feas­
ible efforts to bring about the more
expeditious establishm ent of eligi­
ble lists of qualified persons.

G OSH EN, Aug. 9—Employees of

of a recent em ergency raise in pay
g ra n te d them , b u t they also know
how th e price of m e at an d all
oth e r com m odities are going. So
th e y ’re asking th e B oard of S u p er­
visors to consider th e m a tte r once
again; an d specifically, they sug­

W estchester County.
A le tte r sent to th e B oard of

ch a p te r of th e Civil Service E m ­

“At a n Executive Com m ittee

Court Says Vet Can Be Fired
At End of His Trial Period
“V eterans’ protection ag ainst a r ­
b itra ry and capricious dismissal
fi’om civil service jobs is wiped
out by the Supreme Court decision
in the Wolf case,” Milton M. Levin.
NYC attorney, charges in moving
for an appeal.
The court refused to void the
dismissal of H erm an Wolf, for­
mer G uard for the Slate Correc­
tion D epartm ent a t Woodbourne,
effective the final day of three
months probationary period. No
charges had been lodged against
him.
T he court also ordered Mr. Wolf
rein state d for th e d u ratio n of
the probationary period which was
in teriu p ted by w hat the court
called a n illegal dism issal: th is
is on a “bookkeeping” basis, how­
ever, with the ex-Guard receiving
a salary for the period but not ac­
tually working.
Mr. Ivevin W’ho represents Mr.
Wolf, held th a t the court was set­
ting a precedent which would em­
power supervisors to dismiss vet­
erans at the end of a probationary
period w ithout preferring charges
of misconduct or incompetence. He
held th a t this voids guarantees
given veterans under Section 22
of the Civil Service Law.
th a t the com t decision limits vet­
era n s’ protection from removal to
only the first 89 days of the p ro­
bationary period; on the final day
the departm ent would have the
power to discharge veterans w ith­
out cause.
The court acted upon a repo rt
subm itted by Referee Charles B.
Sears. K en t H. Brown, A ssistant
A ttorney General, represented the
state.
The issue came about, according
to Mr. Levin, w hen Mr. Wolf be­
came ill and failed to rep ort for
work a fte r his first week as a
p ro b atio n ary G uard. W hen he returneil, the departm ent refused to
let him resum e work, although
issuing no charges, he said. Later,
he received notice of his dismissal
a t the end of the probationary
period.
th e following salary range, inclad.

The Four Classes
The S tate Civil Service Law,
[fhich controls th e m unicipal civil
ervice, establishes ce rta in broad
■^eas of jobs w hich are called
classes.” T h ere are four. T hey
re competitive, exem pt, labor and
nil-competitive.
The com petitive class includes
11 positions for w hich it is p rac icable to d eterm ine th e m e rit and
tness of ca n d id a tes by com petIve exam ination. T h e exem pt
lass is confined in general to
uch positions as deputies of p rin ipal executive offices, secretaries
departm ents, b oards or com nissions, ce rta in clerks in courts,
nd other su b o rd in ate offices th a t
; is believed c a n n o t be filled pracicably by a com petitive ex am intlon. T he labor class includes
nskilled laborers an d such skilled
aborers as a re n o t included in th e
ompetitive class. T h e non -co m etitive class Includes such posi­
tions as are n o t In th e exem pt
or labor classes an d w hich it is
believed im p racticable to Include
in the com petitive class.
Examination for positions in
the non-com petitive class is not
at all equivalent to th e custom ary
civil service tests given for com ­
petitive positions. A pplicants fo r
non-competitive posts, w ith few
exceptions, do n o t subm it to th e
traditional type of exam ination.

a m inim um requ irem en t for seek­
ing personnel. And besides all this,
a sound classification plan gives
some indication of grade level and
prom otional opportunities.
W hen a classification system is
properly installed an d m a in ta in ed
it clearly describes th e num erous
classes of positions or jobs. I t
serves as a guide in assigning in ­
dividual
jobs
to
ap p ro p riate
classes. I t fixes th e definitions an d
titles of positions. I t supplies es­
sen tial d a ta for reference in adm in i£ l 2ring a personnel program .
The Civil Service Commission
itself sta te d in its 1944 publica­
tion of th e City’s classification,
“No a tte m p t h as been m ade in
th is publication to w rite specifi­
cations fo r these titles, no r to in ­
dicate lines of prom otion . .
W ith th e exception of p a r t of th e
E ngineering an d A chitectural S e r­
vice, th is s ta te m e n t is as tru e of
th e 1947 publication as it was in
1944.
T hey m erely fu rn ish a record of
th e ir education, em ploym ent h is ­
tory an d o th e r personal data. T he
Com m ission’s rules include ce rtain
additional provisions to determ ine
any non-com petitive position to
subm it to a qualifying ex a m in a­
Without these basic require­
tion. I t is a fre q u en t practice to
consider a n ap p lica n t qualified ments, the classification stands
m erely upon h is subm ission of th e on sand. And without a sound
classification, all the City’s per­
requisite statem en t.
Features of a Sound Plan
T h e h u b of th e classification is
th e com petitive class. I t is in
th is class th a t th e entire p lan
reveals its weakness.
Let us see w h at a sound classi­
fication p la n is. I t places positions
in classes, depending on th e ir sim ­
ilarities or differences. T h is is
in no sm all m easure a m a tte r of
com m on sense. O ur survey clearly
shows th a t th e City's classification
falls sadly sh o rt of th is goal. Such
a p lan also uses w ords system ati­
cally as a m ean s for identifying
com m on elem ents. I t defines each
group of jobs by a stan d ard ized
sum m ary w hich Is know n as a
“class specification.” T h is is a
w ritten sta te m e n t giving th e class
title, disting uishin g fe a tu re s of

A sound classification plan, once

In an y large organizatio n all
kinds of changes occur every day.
As positions are c re ate d or a b ­

Labels Are Not Merchandise
A position classification does n o t
consist of a list of titles. I t mu.st
be accom panied by th e descrip­
tion of th e work to be, perform ed
for each job. Titles can no more
constitute a position classification
than the label on a bottle of cat­
sup constitutes the catsup.
T he Civil Service Com mission
knows this. I t h as th erefo re adop ­
ted a rule th a t a position shall be
classified in term s “ of th e duties
regularly a tta c h e d th e re to .” In
o rd er for th is provision to have
any significant m eaning, th e speci­
fications of duties should ap p e ar
in th e sam e docum ent as th e list
of titles. U n der su ch an a rra n g e ­
m e n t th e whole story would be­
come public property, as it should
be. U nfortunately , w ith th e p a r ­
tial exception of th e E ngineering
and A chitectural Service, th e Com­
mission has n o t seen fit to publish
its d uties’ descriptions.
T he arg u m e n t is m ade th a t

of th e City R ecord to find them .

to r should have to rea ch any f u r ­
th e r th a n a book at th e end of his
desk to lay his h a n d s on th e in ­
form ation he needs. T hese aae
not seciets; they are n ot privileged

public view a t all times.
W ords
Equal pay for equal work is a
lot easier to m ake tru e in p r a c ­
tice if people who do th e sam e
kind of work a re railed by th e
sam e nam e. T h e Com m ission's
Classification co n tain s a g reat
n u m b er of curious nam es of posi­
tions. Let us n ot forget th a t,
w hen th e housew ife employs a
laundress, sh e calls th e employee
a “laun dress.” Now, let us look
a t w h at th e Civil Service C om ­
m ission can th in k up to call a
con stru ctio n inspector. T h e fol­
lowing are actu al titles in th e
C lassification: In sp ec to r of C a r­
pentry, In sp ecto r of M asonry,
In.spector of C a rp e n try a n d M a­
sonry, In sp ector of M asonry C o n ­
stru ction, In sp ec to r of C o n stru c­
tion, Inspector of C onstruct! »n
an d In spector of C onstnaction
(H ousing).
W hen we discussed th is 'm a tte r
w ith an official in charge, h e said
th a t all these m en did th e sam e
th in g , so th a t th e title of I n ­
spector o f C o nstruction would do
for th e whole lot. T h e sam e is
tru e of th ree o th e r title s: In.spec­
tor of P rin tin g , In sp ecto r of S ta ­
tionery an d In.spector of P rin tin g
and S tationery. Also of th ese four
titles: In sp ector of Fuel, In sp e c ­
to r of Supplies, In spector of Fuel
an d Supplies a n d . In spector of
Fuels, Supplies,, etc.
T here Sive m any m ore such ex­
amples. T hey have developed over
a period of m a n y years; o fte n be­
cause a d e p a rtm e n t h as been u n ­
willing to ap p o in t from an ex ist­
ing li.st for a p a rtic u la r title, for
a variety of reasons, an d th e re ­
fore, requested establish m ent of
a new title for w hich a new ex am ­
