THE LORD HELPS THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES
NE OF the turning points of my life was when I was
first disillusioned about civil service. That happened
a long time ago. I was a public emploj^ee. I liked my boss,
and 1 liked my boss’s boss. I felt sure my superioi-s would
give me a square deal. I did not think it was up to mo to
do more than to perform a good job, and to make sure that
my boss knew how good a job I was doing.
O
Disillusion
The disillusionment came when it became evident that
my boss was unable to fulfill all of his essential duties as
a good boss. He could not get enough money to run his
business as he wanted to run it, or to pay the salaries re­
quired to attract and hold good and efficient employees.
Much the same was true of my boss’s boss and of his
boss, all the way up to the top administrator, who some­
times had his troubles with the Legislature. It occurred to
me that the job of every public employee was bigger than
I had thought. It appeared to me that the big people needed
the help of all the little people in the public service to make
government function efficiently; and to compel the civil
service to outlaw favoritism and the spoils system and to
be true to the great ideals of merit and fitness as the sole
basis of appointments and promotions in the public service.
T h e Answer
The plain path to honesty, fair dealing and efficiency in
our rapidly expanding government seemed to me to be
united action by all public employees in an active and able
civil service employees organization, devoted to the advance­
ment of common w^elfare of all the people including the
public employees.
Ever since that day I have based my faith in demo­
cratic government on democracy in government, on the right
and the duty of every public employee to control in some
proper measure his own destiny, and to contribute his full
share to the welfare of the common surging life which is
the State of New York.
To my mind, membership in The Civil Service Em ­
ployees Association means much more than the paying
of the membership fee.
What Makes fo r Vigor?
Organizations, of course, have no power or policy be­
yond that which they draw from their members and their
own staff. An organization is virile and vigorous only when
its members — all its members — form the front line of
defense and of attack, and when, as electors, they make the
major decisions of the Association with the same interest
and care that they give to their own individual problems.
I am certain that our Civil Service Employees Associa­
tion is vigorous, alert and of good spirit. I am confident
that the Association, as it grows in membership, grows
also in accomplishment, in prestige and in influence.
I am dead sure, however, that what we as an Associa­
tion have done is “only the beginning.” Our major tasks
lie ahead and they will not be easy. They can be success­
fully accomplished only if the Association remains true to
the universal principle of unity — “Each one for all and
all for each one.’*

m VETERANS BE SUSPENDID PENDK
HEARINGS ON CHAIiGES OF MISCONDUCI
l y THEODORE iECKER
W E T E R A N S who hold com petl* tive class jobs will be Interested
to know th a t a fellow -veteran. In
a recen t c o u rt case, contended
t h a t th e provisions 6f Civil S e r­
vice Law Section 22 (2) w hich
rela te to th e protection ag ain st
rem ovals fro m com petitive class
positions, are n o t applicable to
veterans. Section 22 (2) m akes
provision for five different kinds
of penalties t h a t c a n be im posed
upon a finding of guilty on charges
of incom petency or m isconduct,
ran g in g from a rep rim a n d to dis­
m issal from th e service. I t also
provides fo r suspension pending
charges. T h e v eteran contended
t h a t only subdivision 1 of Section
22 applied to v eterans because its
language refers to veterans speci­
fically. Section 22 (1) provides
for a h ea rin g on charges for
veterans, and g u aran tees a cou rt
review, bu t does n ot specifically
g ra n t th e power to suspend. I t
does, however, apply to v eterans
in th e exem pt an d n on-co m p eti­
tive classes as well as to veterans
in th e com petitive class.
T he veteran contended th a t
Section 22 (2) was inapplicable
to veterans because h e was seeking
back pay for periods of su sp en ­
sion pending th e final disposition
of his rem oval proceeding.
Suspended P ending H earing
I t seems th a t h e was suspended
for 30 days p rio r to h is first
h ea rin g on charges. He was found
guilty on two counts an d d is­
m issed from th e position of F ire
C aptain. An appeal, th e courts
found no evidence in su p p o rt of
one of th e charges, an nu lled th e
d eterm in atio n of dism issal an d re ­
ferred th e case back to th e F ire
Chief for reconsideration of th e
penalty. A re -h ea rin g was h eld
30 days la te r and, on th e sam e
day, th e F ire C ap tain resigned
“w ithout p reju dice” to a claim
for back pay. D espite th e resig­
nation . h e was foun d guilty an d
again removed. H e did n o t ob­
je c t to this second rem oval b u t
sued for back pay, conten ding
t h a t as a v eteran (1) h e should
n o t have been suspended pending
a h ea rin g on charges, a n d (2) he
should h av e been restored to h is
position, w ith full back pay, w hen
th e courts cancelled the ri

Overhaul of NYC
Job System. Is Closer
T
h e l e a d e r ’s campaign for an overhauling of New
York City’s archaic job system is beginning to get
acceptance.
Latest move is a bill introduced into the City Council
demanding a proper reclassification of City jobs. Echoing
LEADER data on the subject, Councilman Ira Palestin has
asked that the Council take action. The City’s job system
is “outmoded and haphazard,” says his resolution. “A
haphazai’d system of random promotions has resulted in
tsharp differences in pay earned by employees who perform
substantially the same work.”
The resolution which condemns the present setup is
accompanied by teeth — an amendment to the administra­
tive code. In this, Mr. Palestin would compel the Muni­
cipal Civil Scrvice Commission to reclassify positions and
create a uniform setup.
Mr. Palestin doesn’t detail all the monstrous incon­
sistencies and absurdities of the present system — how it
results in enormous inefficiencies, in curious reversals of
employee responsibility, in raw-nerve conflict between people
on the job, in unjust pay differentials, in a rickety wage
«etup, in improper promotion lines.
If Mr. Palestin’s measure is accepted, he provides an
impoilant safeguard. No present civil service employee
would be prejudiced by any title change resulting from
the reclassification.
This is all to the good.
l^ut The LEADP]R warns the Council — let us be
realistic about this. A proper reclassification can’t be done
by a few emi)loyees of the Civil Service Commission and
the Budget Office. A proper system must be done by a staff
with deep undei-standing and experience in what reclassi­
fication means. It will be a long process — and the cost has
been estimated at $250,000.
That sounds like a lot of money. It is. But every gov­
ernment unit which has established a modern system of
job classification is happy with it. The number of problems
it solves is incalculable. The headaches it removes spares
lots of aspirins. The streamlining of public services is
immense, and in the long run that means a saving of
money far in excess of the reclassification cost.
City authorities have only to look at the excellent sys­
tem in effect in the New York State service to realize what
a boon reclassification would be for the City 'of New York.

aw arded a t a cost of $170,000,000.
T hese co n tra cts alone have p ro ­
vided for m ore th a n 1,500 miles
of m odern arte ries for m otor v ehi­

state.
As large as th is m ay seem, it
is only a s ta rt tow ard th e accom ­

th e reh a b ilitatio n of th e S ta te
highw ay system to a p o in t a t
which it ca n safely an d adequately

upon it w ith each passing year.
No V isionary P rogram
O ur program is n o t m erely
visionary. I t is based on h a rd ,
cold facts brought to lig ht by
careful analyses of our existing
physical plan t, its conditions an d
its ability to perform th e work for
w hich it was intended. Pi’om* th a t

D uring th e n ex t five years we

T he first big obstacle is th e
ability of th e construction in ­
d ustry to absorb th e w ork we
h ave to offer. T h a t h as been a
real b a rrie r to rap id progress
since th e war. Now, however,
th e re are m an y encouraging signs
of its being cleared aw ay because
of two im p o rta n t factors. F irst,
th e co n tracto rs have been able
to obtain th e m assive new an d
pow erful equipm ent th ey need
w ith w hich to u n d erta k e m odern
work. M achinery, f a r m ore effi­
cien t th a n any in use before th e
w ar, m ay now be seen on p ra c ­
tically every highw ay p ro jec t in
th e state. This, com bined w ith th e
new know -how required on th e
p a r t of th e co n tracto rs to c a rry
on p o st-w ar work, th e ir m ore ex­
perienced forces, an d th e easing
of th e m aterials m a rk e t app ears
to be d efeating w h at m o n th s ago
was tru ly one of our w orst b u g a­
boos.
Seller’s M arket
We a re ad m ittedly in an in ­
flatio n ary seller’s m ark et, a pe­
riod in w hich th e dem ands for
goods an d services fa r exceeds
th e supply. T h a t m eans h ig h
prices. Consequently, in advancing
its postw ar public works con­
stru ctio n program th e d e p a rtm e n t
h a s striven m ightily to obtain
m axim um benefits from every dol­
la r expended. T he problem of
o btaining satisfactory bids a t
prices w hich will n ot stim ulate a
rising m a rk e t is ever-present. All
safeguards in th is respect m ust
be m a in ta in ed for such conditions
m a y continue to stare us in th e
face for some m o n th s to come.
B u t w ith im provem ents in th e
constru ction in d u stry co n stan tly
being developed and expanded,
th e outlook is m ore encoui'agltig
th a n it h as been for a long tim e.
F o r instance, during th e fifteen
m o n th s between V J-D ay a n d th e
end of 1946, we offered for bid
a to tal of 332 projects w hich our
engineers estim ated would cost
abo ut $163,000,000. Of th is n u m ­
ber, 141 were successfully bid an d
placed u nder co n tra c t a t a to ta l
cost of alm ost $57,650,000. T h u s
we w eie able to p u t u n d er way
only 43 per cen t of th e n u m ber
of projects we offered during th e
initial postw ar period, an d m ost
of these were our sm aller offer­
ings as evidenced by th e fac t th a t
to ta l co n tra c t prices were only
35 per cent of overall offerings.
Progress
' Still fu rth e r progress was m ade
in 1947 w hen 118, or approxim ately
50 per cen t, of th e 234 projects
offered were placed u n d er co n ­
tra c t. D uring th a t y ear bidders

You can cause serious infection
by pulling hair from nose. Ordi­
nary scissors are also dangerous
and impracticoble. There is no
belter way to remove hair from
nose and ears than with KlIPETTE. Smooth, gentle, safe, ef­
ficient. Rounded points
can't cut or prick skin.
