Som etim es employees who are
m em bers of th e S ta te R e tirem en t
System , w ith 35 years of m em ber-service und er th e age 60 plan,
are surprised to find th a t th e ex­
pected h a lf-p a y re tire m e n t a l­
low ance will n o t be realized, an d
w onder w h at happened.
T h e reason for th e ir a sto n ish ­
m e n t is th a t th e fractio n on
w hich th e S ta te ’s budgetary co n ­
trib u tio n tow ard th e retire m en t
allow ance—th a t is, th e am o u n t
of tihe pension— is 1/140, an d
if th e a c tu a ria l value of th e
o th e r p a r t of th e re tire m e n t a l­
low ance—th e an n u ity created by
th e em ployee’s co ntrib u tio n from
sa lary —is equal, th e fractio n is
doubled to 1/70. So, fo r each
y ear of m em ber service, a t 1/70
of final average salary, 35 years
woud produce 35/70 or h alf pay,
longer or sh o rter service periods
proportionately. B ut w h at c a u s­
es th e retire m en t allow ance for
35 years, for instance, to be less
th a n h a lf pay, is th e insuffici­
ency of th e con trib utions from
salary, tow ard th e a n n u ity a c ­
count, as distinguished fro m th e
pension th e S ta te contributes.
R eason for Insufficiency
T h e insufficiency is caused by
th e lower salary, hence less a b ­
solute contribu tion by th e em ­
ployee, com pared to th e best co n ­
secutive five years th a t are th e
basis of th e “final average” salary
on w hich th e S ta te ’s con tribution
is com puted.
T h e .situation was explained
th oroughly by Jo h n D eG rafI in
a letter to a prospective p e n ­
sioner, who h a d found to his
dism ay th a t h alf-p ay retire m en t
was no t a tta in a b le by him , co n ­
tra ry ' to his expectation, an d
sou ght elucida. T he employee,
who works in one of th e D e p a rt­
m e n t of M ental HHygiene I n s titu ­
tions, wrote to Dr. F ra n k L. Tolm an, p resident of T he Civil Sei-vice Employees Association, who
referre d th e le tte r to M r. D e­
G rafI, counsel to th e Association.
W h a t Law Provides
M l'. D aG raff w rote th e in atuirer;
“T h e o rdin ary retire m en t a l­
low ance consists of two pai'ts—
(1) a n an n u ity , w hich is paid
from your own contributions, an d
(2) a pension, w hich is paid by
th e S tate.
“T h e law provides t h a t th e
pension shall be 1 / 140th of your
final average sa lary m ultiplied by
th e n u m b e r of years of m em ber
service credit. T his is a fixed
a m o u n t an d . no m a tte r how h ig h
your sa la ry m ay go, th e S tate,
w ith its own funds, pays 1 / 140th
of your average sa lary for your
h ig h e st five years of service. ‘P in ­
al average sa la ry ’ is defined in
th e R e tire m e n t Law as th e h ig h ­
est average sa lary w hich you r e ­
ceive over a consecutive five y ear
period. Consequently, a fte r 35
y ears of service, th e S ta te w ould
j i a y a pension equal to l / 4 t h of
your final average salary.
“T he an n u ity is supposed to be
approxim ately equal to th e p en ­
sion. T herefore, it is o ften said
t h a t th e re tire m e n t allow ance a t
age 60 is equal to l/ 7 0 tn of th e
m em bers salary m ultiplied by his
years of service. T his is n o t tru e,
however, a t present, because all
th e law actually says is t h a t th e
a n n u ity shall be th e a c tu a ria l
equivalent of your accu m u lated
contributions.
How Difficulties Arise
“T he difficulty arises because
th e contributions w hich you m ake
to th e R e tirem en t System , to build
up your ann uity , are estim ated
a t th e tim e you join th e System .
Som e years ago, w hen th e r a te
of co ntrib u tio n was established by
th e R e tirem en t System , th e r a te
of sa lary increase was co m p ara­
tively slight. F o r exam ple, a p ub­
lic employee, who en tered th e
service a t $3,000 m ight be a d ­
vanced enough to receive $4,000
w hen h e retires. All th e estim ates
were, therefore, set up on a basis
u n d er w hich it was assum ed t h a t
an employee would be receiving
only a slightly h ig h er salary w hen
he retire d th a n w hen h e entered
th e service. T h e inflation of r e ­
cent years h as m ade all th ese es­
tim ates erroneous. Now, in m any
cases, a n employee, because of a
general increase in salary levels,
m ay receive double th e sa lary be­
fore re tire m e n t t h a t he received
w hen h e entered th e service. T his
m eans t h a t th e contribu tions to
his cre d it are n o t sufficient to
p urchase a n an n u ity w hich will
equal th e pension t h a t is paid for
by th e S tate.

"G O O D LORD, HO W HOT IT GROWS "
THE HUMAN ANIMAL is a perverse and cantankerous
creature at times, especially when the temperature and the
humidity conspire together.
The LEADER has urged general air-conditioning as the
secret to hot-weather happiness. We agree, but in the mean­
time we ask temporary relief.
Employees of the Federal Government speak well of the
formula tliat governs closing in their public offices — a
formula based on temperature combined with humidity. We
New York employees want a similar plan. We public em­
ployees in New York State have, 1 think, a ju st complaint
in the lack of consideration of our frailties and limitations
when exposed to near-boiling temperature. (I use “boiling”
in preference to “roasting” because it implies a high mois­
ture content or high humidity.)

ixams for Steady Jobs
STATE
The Public
Employee
There is no validity in the claim that uniform rules or
regulations are not practical. It is just not true th at each
department or oftice is the best judge of local conditions
and therefore should exercise sole control and make its
arbitrary decision on closing his or her office.
It is true that excessive heat and humidity increase the
discomfort of the worker to a point where compulsory work
becomes waste. It is equally true that lack of fair and equal
treatment of all employees under torrid conditions inflames
the human thermometer more than does the heat itself. The
final result of lack of uniform fair regulations is to reduce
the worker, for the time being at least, to a quivering bundle
of over-excited nerves. The permanent result is a consider­
able loss to the State through heat fatigue.
This summer is the worst on record for heat, humidity
and lack of any relief. Now is the time to reconsider a
do-nothing policy, or a “let John do it” policy in the light
of a real change in climate for the Empire State.
We could endure weather neglect and closing caprice when
the vast majority of our days and nights were deliciously
soothing and satisfyingly cooling and invigorating, but
those days are of the dear departed dead variety. The em­
ployees ask and expect relief from the one agency that can
furnish relief — the Civil Service Commission.

Efficiency R a tin e System
E ditor, T h e LEADER:
We em ployees received o u t
efficiency ratin g s a t H arle m V al­
ley S ta te H ospital a n d discussed
th e m thoroughly. M any em ployeet feel th a t th e p rese n t system
should be discarded in favor of
one less open to th e p ractice of
prejudice.
Too m any of us do n o t w orry
about our ra tin g a n d scoff a t low
m ark s u n til a crucial m om ent
arrives and th e n It is to late.
Those deserving a low ra tin g are
th e least w orried an d It is dou b t­
less if they would try fo r more.
A nother group feels t h a t it d e­
serves m ore, bu t because of dis­
crim in atio n did n o t receive it. T h e
pay was n o t cu t a n d to p ro te st a
score Tjfould p u t a n em ployee in
bad w ith his superiors. So why
no t sit back a n d say n oth ing.
Feels W ork’s Not A ppreciated
T he employee who really trie d
an d won a good m a rk honestly is
n o t questioned. B u t due to th e
fa c t th a t h e h as n o t received any
hignei score th a n th e glam our
boys, te ac h ers’ pets, h an d -sh a k e rs
and back-slappers, he feels th a t
his work was n o t ap preciated.
T h u s a p lan w hich was to create
incentive does not.
I n th is country a m a n is su p ­
posed to be inn o cen t u n til proven
guilty. B ut our system of ra tin g
employees would have a n opposite
tendency. I t is m uch easier to
see th e good in a person w hom
we adm ire. A person is n o t a l­
lowed on ju ry w hen he even
knows th e d efen d an t, because his
views m ig h t be biased by his
opinions. Are our supervisors im ­
pregnable to an y of th is? M ost of
th em , I th in k , are, b u t so long as
even one is n o t; a n d a n employee
suffers by it, th e n a b e tte r p la n
should be considered.
Q uotes Dewey
W ould no t a dem erit system
do m uch b etter? An employee
would lose a po int or two In case
of in fra ctio n s to degrade your
ratin g , som ething w rong would
have to a p p e a r ag a in st you. I t
seems to m e 't h is w ould prove to
be better.
Some supervisors a re re lu c ta n t
to m ake up th e p rese n t efficiency
ratin g s because of th e difficulty.
L et’s be th a n k fu l some are th is
serious ab o u t It. Some employees
have been given a good ra tin g by
th e ir supervisors only to have it
lowered by a superior who ju s t
d id n ’t like t h a t guy.
G overnor Dewey in h is speech

S ta rte d New Career
Stym ied by lack of job oppo r­

As chief actu ary , Mr. W ein­
stein is responsible for d eterm ­
ining how m uch m oney th e S ta te
R e tirem en t System needs each
year to operate. B u t while th is
m ay be a broad generalization of
his work, one of th e reasons he
like his job is t h a t it gives him
an oppo rtu n ity to help oth er S ta te
employees w ith th e ir retire m en t

A description of th e difficult
DeM arco case appeared in T h e
LEADER for M arch 8. I t is re ­
peated below for th e benefit of
employees who m ay n o t be aw are
of th e issues involved.
D raw 3 L adders
D raw a p icture of th re e la d ­
ders side by side on a piece of
paper. P u t six rungs in each of
th ese ladders. T he rung s rep rese n t
an n u a l Increm ents. Above th e
first lad der place th e old FeldH am ilton grade. 2-lb. Above th e
second ladder, place th e Insignia
G-2. Above th e th ird lad d er place
G-3. T he second an d th ird la d ­
ders rep resen t th e new grades set
u p by law in 19947.
O n M arch 31, 1947, D aniel D e-
F IN G E R P R IN T
M arco was a t th e f o u rth ru n g of
th e first ladder, e a rn in g $1,500 a
year. U nder th e new law, he was
converted, as of April 1, 1947, to
th e fifth ru n g of th e second la d ­
der. His salary was th e n , w ith
cost-of-living bonus included, $2.080 a y ear (th e ran g e in th e grade
is $1,600 to $2,180). H e rose to th e
fifth lad d er because a n in c re m e n t
of $120 was due him on t h a t date.
Now, th e law also provided t h a t
if between April 1, 1947 an d O c­
to b er 1, 1947, th e S ala ry B oard re ­
allocated any job upw ard, th e r e ­
allocation would be considered re ­
troactive to th e April 1 date. T his
was done because th e S ala ry
B oard, w ith a huge job on its
h ands, ju s t couldn’t finish It in
time.
DeM arco R eallocated U pw ard
D eM arco’s job was reallocated
by th e S ala ry B oard to G-3, w ith
a salary ran g e of $1,700 to $2,300.
Q uestion: Should D eM arco gon
to th e fifth ru n g of th e th ird
(G -3 )) ladder, w hich would give
h im a sa lary of $2,180, or does h e
go down betw een th e fo u rth an d
fifth rungs, reta in in g his $2,080
pay?
T h e S ta te said he should go
down to th e fo u rth rung. D eM ar­
co, th ro u g h his atto rn ey , said he
should sta y a t th e fifth ; o th e r­
wise he would get no im m ediate
benefit from having been reallo­
cated upw ard.
U nder th e civil service law, such
reallocation would n o t o rd in arily
c a rry w ith it a change-ov er (con­
version) of sa lary from th e old
I Increm ent level to th e correspondI ing Increm ent level u n d e r th e
new sa lary range. W ith th e ex­
ception of employees a t th e m ini­
m um salary, those who.se jobs are
placed in a h ig h er sa la ry b rack et
would obtain no im m ediate bene­
fit except th e o p p o rtu n ity u lti­
m ately to a tta in a h ig h e r m a x ­
im um salary.
Accordingly, for D eM arco to
benefit im m ediately from th e re­
troactive allocation, th e conver­
sion as of April 1, 1947, h a d to
be m ade to th e fifth ru n g of th e
G -3 ladder.
H e urged t h a t th is was th e
I prop er m ethod of conversion;
! am ong o th e r reasons, because only
! abo ut $200,000 of th e $3,000,000
■requested a n d a p p ro p riated to ta k e

I n all th e courts, th e case was
decided in favor of th e em ployi ees; a n d in th e A ppellate Division
j a n d in th e C ourt of Appeals,

T h e arith m e tic questions likely
to prove m ost bothersom e are
those Involving percentages. T h e
questions som etim es are so sta te d
as to call for a ce rtain profit from
a business tra n sa c tio n s, bu t th e
basic problem is still one of p e r­
centages. I n general, w hen p e r­
centage questions are asked, th ey
involve dividing a larg er num ber
in to a n o th e r sm aller one, hence
th e answ er is less th a n th e
num ber 1. I t Is w ritte n as a deci­
m al fraction , as .78, w hich would
be said as 78 p er ce n t. I f th e c a n ­
d idate is undecided w hich to d i­
vide into w hich, th e foregoing rule
m ay be applied w ith safety in
n early every case. A nother point
about percentages In questions is
th a t they som etim es do n o t d ire c t­
ly give the two n u m b ers t h a t are
to be th e subjects in th e division
operation. In ste a d , one h as to add
or su b trac t, possibly m ultiply or
divide, o th e r num bers, bu t th is ■
p a r t is usually very easy. W h a t
one m u st w atch for, how ever, are
extraneou s fac ts t h a t are som e­
tim es in serted in questions, for
in stan ce, figures or num bers or
q u an tities t h a t d o n ’t play any
p a r t in th e result. F o r instance, if
th e percentage to be stru ck is on
th e basis of th e n u m b er of lemons
In a cargo, an y figures giving th e
num ber of oranges would be ig­
nored.
H ere are some sam ple arith m etic
questions:
16. A dealer pays 60 cents a
dozen for peaches a n d decides to
sell th em a t a profit of 40 per cen t
each. A t w hich price m u st he sell
a peach to a tta in th is profit?
(If peaches are 60 cents a dozen
th ey cost th e dealer 5 cents each.
I f he w an ts to sell th e m a t a
profit of 40 p er c e n t h e m u st get
back 100 p erc en t to cover his
cost, plus 40 p er ce n t to cover his
prfit, or 1.4 tim es th e cost price,
equals 1.5 tim es 5 or 7 ce n ts).
17. W h a t is th e resu lt w hen one
adds 121/a a n d 3 1/5 an d 6 ‘/2 ?
(T his is a problem in clearing th e
fractio ns.. T hey m u st have as d e ­
n o m in ato r th e lowest com m on
num ber. O ne n u m b er t h a t would
certain ly be com m on to 8,5 a n d 2
would be th e p ro d u ct of these
num bers, or 80, b u t t h a t wduld not
necessarily being th e sm allest
num ber com m on to all. Divide th e
80 in half. Now you h ave 40. All
th re e nu m b ers—8,5 an d 2—divide
into 40, b u t no lower n um ber th a n
40 will co n ta in all th re e w ithout
leaving ad d itio n al fractions. So
40 Is th e least com m on denom i­
n ato r. T herefore tr e a t Vb as 5'40,
1/5 as 8/40 an d V2 as 20/40. Add
th e fra ctio n s a n d you get 33/40. If
adding fra ctio n s produced a whole
num ber, ad d t h a t w hole num ber
to th e o th e r whole num bers, b u t
it doesn’t, so ju s t a d d th e th ree
whole num bers— 12, ,3 an d 6—
an d spffix th e fra c tio n 33/40. T he
answ er is 21 33/40.)

Patterson Sees Employee Benefits
From Career and Salary Plan
U ndoubted benefits from th e
C areer a n d S alary P lan stu dy will
be derived by City employees an d
the City generally. B udget D irec­
to r T hom as J. P a tte rso n said in
a n interview w ith T he LEADER.
“M ayor O ’Dwyer is in favor of
th e reclassification,” said Mr. P a t ­
terson, “ an d I ’m eager to give all
po.ssible help.”
Mr. P a tte rso n explained th a t th e
reclassification would result In th e
elim ination of m an y of th e inequi­
ties t h a t now prevail, some of
wthich h ave endured for years, an d
also should provide b etter prom o­
tion o p portunities to those e n ­
title d to them . H e em phasized,
however, t h a t th e reclassification
an d p ay p lan “would be no
p an a ce a," a n d th a t It would be
im possible to accede to all th e demaftd.’i of City employees w ithout
in c u rrin g expense t h a t was ou t of
all bounds.”
H as Employees’ Confidence
O n th e question of pay, alth o u g h
it is one w ith w hich he is co n­
sta n tly associated, an d w ith w hich
he h a s been grappling for m any
years, he spoke en thusiastically of
an overall survey, th a t would p e r­
m it a d ju stm e n ts to be m ade on a
cityw lde basis. He felt t h a t he was
fam iliar w ith practically all th e
problem s th a t have been' discussed
by employees so far, a t th e h e a r ­
ings of th e com m ittee app oin ted
by th e M ayor, of w hich he is co­
m em ber w ith P resid en t Joseph A.
M cN am ara, of th e M unicipal Civil
Service Com mission, an d th a t his
reoord h a s been one t h a t h as
caused employees to have co n fi­
dence in him . At a m eeting of a
large em ployee group, a fte r h e
h a d been introduced a t a d inn er,
he was roundly cheered.
T h e full expectation is t h a t
Jo h n T. D eG raff, experienced in
classification an d pay problem s of
(he S ta te and local governm ents,
will h ead th e survey, as th e M ayor
Intends. T h e ap propriation for th e
purpose of th e stu d y by Mr. D eG raff, and aides he will select, will
be voted on by th e B oard of E sti­
m ate a fte r th e present prelim inary
com m ittee ren ders its rep o rt on
safegu ard s and general poffcy d e ­
sired by employees. So f a r th e
he«irings h av e elicited few p e r ­
tin e n t recom m endations.
Sees O pportunity
“T h e B udget D irector’s office h as
h a d considerable experience w ith
civil service m a tte rs,” contin ued
M r. P atterso n , “as these are In ­
extricably woven Into th e pay
fabric, so th a t one stu d y t h a t In ­
cludes b oth phases could ren d e r a n
o u tstan d in g resu lt.”
Mr. P a tte rs o n ’s views on some
lo n g -stan d in g points of discussion
a re well know n to employees. H e
Is definitely opposed to req uiring
t h a t A uto E nginem en be p aid th e
prevailing r a te of wages applying
in private Industry, u n d er Section
220 of th e L abor Law, b u t should
have full leeway to sem ian n u al
wage agreem ents.
D octors a n d D entists
Also, h e feels still th a t th e
D octors an d D entists in th e H ea lth
D ep artm en t, now on a per-session
pay basis, are n o t en titled to p eran n u m sta tu s, w ith increm ents.
T hey won a court case in w hich
in crem en ts were ordered, w hen
th ey were on a p e r-a n n u m basis,
b u t h e feels th a t th e Increm ent
law was no t m eant to cover p a r ttim e employees. A previous a d ­
m in istratio n p u t th e employees on
a per-session pay basis, to end th e
benefits of increm ents, a fte r th e
employees won in court. O n th e
score of prom otions for th ose in
th e un g rad ed service, M r. P a tt e r ­
son feels th a t th e em ployees’ titles
should n o t be m ade eligible, but
ra th e r th e line of prom otion as
established in th e graded service,
should be followed. Tlie solution is
to h av e prom otion exam inatio ns
as fa r as practicable for th e r ig h t­
ly eligible titles, he feels, an d if
these d o n ’t produce enough c a n ­
didates, hold open-com petitive ex ­
am inations, in w hich th e un graded
employees m ay com pete w ith th e
general public.
O n th e score of an n u a l ag re e­
m en ts w ith employees who are

who are borderline cases, his a rg u ­

(C o n tin u e d

P ag e 1)
m in u tes each, an d subm it w ritten
m em orandum s on an y topic, but
P resident M cN am ara called a h a lt
to th e employee who ch arg ed the
P a rk D ep a rtm en t w ith declaring
th e re was a seven-year backlog on
Retting trees pruned, although
P ru n e rs were doing A tte n d a n ts’
work and otherw ise perform ing
duties out of title.
W arning by M cN am ara
“Y ou’re com plaining about th e
way a d ep a rtm e n t is being a d m in ­
istered,” w arned P resid en t M cN a­
m ara. “T h a t’s n o t one of th e su b ­
jects up for discussion here. We
liave no ju risdiction over d e p a rt­
m e n tal a d m in istra tio n .”
T he speaker, Jo h n Ri/zo, h ad a t
first applied for permi.ssion to re p ­
rese n t a Q ueens county civic a s­
sociation, alth o u g h th e hearings
are open only to City employees
an d th e ir representatives. He th en
qualified as a City employee. He
f;aid he was a P lum ber in th e
P arks D ep a rtm en t a n d added th a t
h e represented b cth A m erican
F ederatio n of Labor an d Civil
Service F orum groups of P arks D e­
p a rtm e n t employees.
“P run ers are cleanin g sewers,
repairin g m anholes an d doing
every oth er kind of woik, except
p run ing ," h e com plained.
He found fa u lt w ith th e prom o­
tio n system in th e d epartm ent,
because A tte n d an ts get “p ro m o t­
e d ” to A ssistant G ardeners a t a
$700 reduction in pay. He m en ­
tioned th a t th e U. S. governm ent
safeguards an em ployee’s p a y on
prom otion, to th e point w here th e
carried-over s a l a r y does not
pierce th e top of th e prom otion
grade. New York S ta te affords th e
sam e protection. NYC does not.
T he difference in policy was
stres.sed by o ther speakers.
Auto En;>iiicman Vocative
An Auto E nginem an, R obert J.
G am bon, rep resenting Council 194
of the Forum , said th a t th e “gen­
eral picture of a reclassification”
was satisfactory to th e m em bers
of his Council, except th a t as
th e re was no actu al C areer and
S alary P lan in existence now, an
cpliortunity should be afforded to
employees to stu d y and m ake s u g ­
gestions for changes in any p ro ­
posed Plan.
“W e’d like an opp ortunity to
review th e proposed P lan, piece
by piece, item by item ,” he said.
He th o u g h t th a t th e hearings,
which w(?re hold by Messrs. P a tterscn and M cN am ara as a com ­
m ittee appointed by M ayor W il­
liam O'Dwyor, were im p o rta n t
enough to th e taxp ayers to d e ­
serve to bo bro adcast over WNYC.
M o r e l)(»w irw ’;«rd P ro m o tio n s
“All tnxpayers, all employees
and all oincials of NYC are in te r­
ested in rectifying th e conglam eration of titles, an d th e m ixup
in the job situ atio n th a t obtain
today,” he continued. “We are
m ore inclined to favor a reclassi­
fication along educational lines
th a t will im prove conditions so
t h a t employees with even 20 years
of service or m ore w 'n ’t be p re ­
vented from gettin g m ore resp on­
sible an d h ig h er-p ay in g poslto n s.”
H e included in his plea a word
for those employees, like him self—
in jobs w ith a set e n tra n ce sa l­
ary but no prom otion ladder and
no m axim um sa lary as in graded
titles— who ac tu a lly escape th e de­
lig h t of prom otion, because th e
aesthetically h ig h er job pays less
money. He was concerned wit<h his
own plight, too, as th e fa th e r of
four children, an d an eligible on
two prom otion lists, who would
have to suffer a $700 pay cut, also,
if he accepted prom otion. Mr.
P atterso n
rem ark ed t h a t th e
.speaker was referrin g to a m ost
exceptional case, b u t th a t th e d if­
ference could be m ade up th ro u g h
in crem ents in four years or so.
“I ’d like to ask you,” retu rn ed
Mr. G am bon, “ w h at you’d do if
you were in my p red ic am en t?”
“I w ouldn’i w a n t to ta k e a $700
pay cu t,” Mr. P a tte rso n adm itted,
co-eryployees were attorn eys a d ­
m itted.
B a ttle for O pportunity
T he Auto E nginem en have long
been striving to obtain pro m o tion­
al opportunities. T h eir m ain com ­
p la in t is th a t th e y are not m ade
eligible to com pete in prom otion
exam inations w hich th ey feel they
should be allowed to take. E m ploy­
ees in titles in th e regular grades
of prom otion usually oppose such
w idening of eligibility, to w hich
the un g rad ed employees reply
th a t th e re are only few em ploy­
ees eligible for prom otion in
m any exam inations, an d b ro ad ­
ening th e eligibility is in order.
Mr. P a tte rso n inclines tow ard
open-com petitive exam inations, in
such a case, to fill jobs left over
when prom otion eligible lists are
used up.
Mr. P atterso n finally rem arked
th a t th e m a n who accepted th e
prom otion a t th e reduced pay
would benefit in th e long run, es­
pecially as h ig h er prom otional
opportunities m ig h t be opened to
him.
L ow -Paid Investigators

such a P la n “would raise th e

work six days, an d th a t prom o­

He asked th a t P ark F orem an,

th a t pay w as low, only $12.50 a

also on b ehalf of th e Bridge

th a n others, while still oth er
B ridge O perators, doing su p e r­

asked th a t Bridge T en d er pay be

“We feel,” declared Mr. C ough­

said th a t C entral T rades desired
th a t labor should be consulted

se n ta tio n be g ra n te d to th e As­

ary P lan C om m ittee; th a t th e d u ­
ties of supervisors be m easured
by a yardstick th a t included in ­
tangible, as well as tangible m a t­

according to responsibilities, w ith
u niform ity on this score on a citywide basis: th a t areas of job re ­
sponsibilities be definitely defia-

P re sid en t M cN am ara said t h a t
em ployees' viewpoints would be
soug ht an d carefully considered,
b u t th a t it would be practically
im possible to give rep rese n ta tio n

th a t of employees covered by th e
L abor Law, who get th e p revail­

D e p a rtm e n t of S an itatio n , H er­
b ert S. B ausch, presid ent of Lo­

th e principle of reclassification,
b u t th o u g h t th a t two years was a
long tim e to w ait for im prove­

classification projects in th e p ast
have been a disapp oin tm ent to em ­
ployees of each d ep a rtm e n t should
be on th e panel th a t will m ake th e

P re sid en t

asked
w h at he th o u g h t of reducing th e

five to th ree, so th a t th e e n tra n c e
title would be Ju n io r Clerk, w ith
prom otions successively to Clerk
an d Senior or Supervising Clerk,
Mr. B ausch said it w ouldn’t work
in large d ep a rtm e n ts w here th e

called to his a tte n tio n th e fac t
th a t th e re is no m axim um salary
for Clerk, G rade 5, th e speaker
said th a t th e pay of Clerks, G rade
5 was low, considering th e duties
th e y perform , a n d th a t private
in d u stry pays a g reat deal more.
W hen Mr. M cN am ara cited in ­
stan ces of Clerks. G rade 5 gettin g
m ore th a n $5,000 a year, Mr.
B ausch said th ey were exceptional
cases, th a t $70 a week was about
th e lim it, usually, and th e n th a t
h igher pay would result from a
$120 increase and entailed serv­
ice of 35 to 40 years. He d id n 't
th in k $5,000 was too m uch to pay
an employee who h a d w orked for
