R em em ber th a t th e purpose of
civil service selection is to obtain
th e best possible appointees for

w ith th e Civil S ervice Law an d
applicable rules. T em p orary a p ­
p ointm en ts are frow ned upon, es­
pecially since th e y c a n often be

Some W illing to Accept
Kligibl^s lower dow n on « list

declined by ellgibles h ig h e r on th e

However, th e re are em ergencies
u n d er w hich te m p o rary a p p o in t­

exam ple, w hen th e re is no list of

m ission c a n ce rtify to a n ap p o in t­

Sim ilarly, th e re m ay be a s h o rt­
te rm p ro jec t requ irin g services
of appointees fo r only a few
m onths. To req u ire p erm a n en t a p ­
po in tm en ts to be followed by lay­
offs w hen th e Job is done, is n o t
considered practicable. I h th is
case, tem p o rary appo intm ents, for

Effect of N on-C om pliance
I n th e second place, th e coui't
said t h a t even if th e Com mission

s o c ia t io n will endeavor to get its

th at com es w hen good new s is

T h e a d d itio n a l expense of th e

T h ere Is a provision in tihe

1/120 of final average, in stea d of
1/140 to age 55, a n im provem ent
of 14 2/7 per cent for th a t period.
T he age-55 fea tu re w ould be

could come u n d e r it. if h e chose,
or rem ain u n d e r existing co n d i­
tions, alth o u g h th e ad v a n ta g e of
the proposed ch an g e is so g re a t
th a t every employee w ould be ex­

Also, th e com pulsory re tire m e n t
age would rem ain a t 70. Nobody
would be required to re tire a t 55

T h e fra ctio n of 1/120 provides
the possibility of half-pay re tire meiit a f te r 30 years of m em b erservice, c o n tra ste d w ith th e 35

YOU ARE THE BOSS
IT SHOULD be more than a pious notion or a dogma
spoken with tongue in cheek th at the Association exists
for you, works for-you and all its members and that ,th«
real control rests not in the hands of the officers or directors,
but is your hands, if only you exercise your franchise am
a member.
■ I wrote last week of the importance of selecting officers,
representatives and delegates who have the wisdom and
the wish to represent you before the Administration and
the Legislature honestly and ably.
Today I wish to call your attention to th 6 methods pro­
vided in the Constitution by which you may control th#
iwlicies of the Association and its representatives.
How to Get Action on Ideas
Through your delegates to the annual meetings of the
Association early in October, you may have your ideas
as to anything the Association should or should not do
presented, discussed, and approved or disapproved by the
delegates. If approved, the officers and counsel must do all
they can through legislation, or conference, or otherwise^
to put your ideas into effect.
Every important policy of the Association requires strong
support by the membership to have a chance of success. You
at home can do a better job in securing the interest and
support of your Senators and Assemblymen than can we in
Albany. But to obtain that interest and support, you must
feel that you are one of the 46,000 active leaders of the
Association, and you must “know your stuff.” If you help
form the policy, you will be able to help sell it.
N ot Too Early to S ta rt Now
It is none too early to begin to think and to discuss some
of the m ajor problems and amendments of the Association.
Just to sta rt you thinking, I repeat a few of the m ajor
questions th at come to me every day, and on which I need
your help and advice.
It is a m atter of common knowledge that the merit sys­
tem must fight to survive. It's more honored in the abuse
than in the observance. Wh^t can and what should the
Association do to protect and to develop the merit and
fitness principles in government in the appointment and
in the promotion of public employees?
Every Association member was deeply disappointed in oui!
failure to obtain the 55-year retirehient liberalization despite
our utmost efforts. We must not fail next year. Is the bill
we fought for last year good enough now in the light of
the more liberal New York City retirement bill? What
changes, if any, would you advise?
Higher Pay fo r T. B. W ork
Employees in T. B. wards and hospitals have a special
salary schedule. Should appointment to a T. B. job be strictly,
a promotion, subject to competitive promotion examination,*
and should an appointee receive the increase in salary on
appointment? Is it fair to ask him or her to wait, if the
increase is really recognition of hazardous employment?
Should the career law be amended to provide an end to the
waiting period for salary increase on pr.omotion, reclassifi^
cation or reallocation, similar to the practice mandated bi;
the Court in the Demarco case?
X
Other Ideas to Consider
Should we continue to oppose the extension of the exempt;
labor and non-competitive classes, and to urge reexamination
of all such positions now specific in the rules of the Civil
Service Commission?
Should we continue to press for fair and uniform rulee
for hot weather closing, or skeleton staffs in all State
agencies?

A ssociate Public H ealth
J UDGE J. EDWARD CONWAY, President of the State P hysician t V enereal Disease C on­
Civil Service Commission, feels that passage of the Mit­
chell veteran preference bill is important to good civil
service administration and to the advance of good govern­
ment in New York State. He has placed the strength of his
position behind the measure, saying “it will assure the fairest
possible distribution of public jobs among disabled veterans,
non-disabled veterans, and non-veterans. If the people ac­
cept the Mitchell bill this fall, the task of assigning positions
in line with the merit system, at the same time considering
a person’s service with the armed forces, will become
immeasurably fairer. The Mitchell bill deserves the fullest
support of all voting residents of this State.”
President Conway has been growing in his job, and his
words and actions have, with experience, shown increasing
value. The ability to grow is one of the important qualities
of an administrator, particularly in so sensitive a post as
that of Civil Service Commissioner.
^
^
4.
The Judge has been serving in an interim appointment
since February, when his first term expired.
During the past two years the State Civil Service Com­
mission has shown improvements in many areas. This news­
paper knows that the Commission is fa r from perfect, and
has not hesitated to point up what we deem to be its faults.
But this does not derogate from the Commission’s positive
accomplishments. Here are some:
Relations with public employees are at a high level. Prob­
lems are thrashed out over the table. Actions affecting public
employees are not the result of whim or fiat.
Probes into some of the more disturbing aspects of merit
system violations — as for example in Lackawanna and
Utica — have been prosecuted. We can hope th a t this por­
tends even more vigorous action of this kind, and in more
areas, both State and local.
In service training, formerly a languishing child of the
Commission, has grown healthy. Its value as a positive tool
to the employees and to the State is now recognized.
Technically, the Commission has made enormous strides;
the grading of examinations has been much expedited:
information is easier to obtain; new experiments, designed
to better personnel and to improve the governftient service,
have been instituted; the Commission's calendar is public,
BO that its actions can’t be accomplished in secrecy.
Despite faults that can be mentioned, the Civil Service
Commission under President J. Edward Conway has made
notable advances. At present, with its head serving without
knowing whether or not he is to be re-appointed, the Com­
mission finds much of its work stymied. There can’t be any
real long-range planning; decisions often have to be tenta­
tive ; the entire staff is “up in the air.” And from the simple
human point of view, a man shouldn’t be kept dangling so
long, without knowing what his future holds.
It is for these basic reasons that The LEADER, having
pondered the pros and cons, and having heard the other
names mentioned as possible successors, respectfully recom­
mends to Governor Dewey that he give careful consideration
to the re-appointment of President Conway to another term.

TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1949
G r e a te s t Y e a r
Hand
^ i v i l service is heading for the greatest recruitment ac( ^ t i v i t y in its entire history. The Federal Government is
planning popular examinations, including one for Junior
Professional Assistant in a large number of specialties;
the State has announced its long-range examination pro­
gram, with hundreds of tests; NYC will open, in the fall
and winter, the examinations for Patrolman, Surface Line
Operator, Clerk, Grade 2, and Social Investigator, among
otlier tests.
]n NYC particularly the job opportunities will be numer­
ous in dozens of titles, including Patrolman, 3,200; Clerk,
Grade 2, 2,200, and Surface Line Operator, 1000. There
are nearly 18,000 provisionals on the City payroll — a re­
duction of_ 10,000 — so exams will surely be kept rolling,
to fill these jobs permanently.
_
,
The need for adequate pre])aration by candidates is obvi­
ous. The NYC Commission President, Joseph A. McNamara,
stresses it. The State operates in the same direction, by
giving long advance notice of the examinations, thus afford­
ing opportunity for study. Only the Federal Government
suddenly announces tests and then holds them so soon after
the last day to apply, that there’s no time to take a study
course. It is hoped that the Federal Government will mend
its ways and co-operate with those who help to make its
administration a success sometimes more than the Commis­
sion docs itself.
The LEADER will give complete advance notice of ex­
aminations, where possible; has started already; will
publish valuable study material, including past examination
questions and answers, where obtainable, and intimate facts
about specific tests that will prove of extreme value to can­
didates. It will publish infoimation and advice that will
aid candidates to be best qualified.
Opportunity is at hand. Act on it yourself. Tell your
friends about it.

In addition, several of th e

A nother rep o rter gave it as his

it will be th e R epublicans.
Still a th ird w rote fra n k ly : “A t
th is tim e I ’m In doubt.” A nd a
colleague of his says: “Tossup.”
A New Y ork City political
w riter sees th e R epublicans w in ­

T he M ayor’s C om m ittee on th e
C areer an d P ay P la n for m unicipal
employees was p resented la st week
w ith a stream lin ed m eth o d for
conducting th e proposed reclass­

R aym on d K
D iana, P resid ent of W elfare C oun­
cil No. 330 of th e Civil Service
Forum , suggested tlie use of ques­
tionnaires a n d high-speed m ech­
anized equipm ent to fac ilita te
com pletion of th e survey.
Deplores ‘C ontroversy’
Mr. D iana deplored th e “h ea te d
controversy” w hich h a s arisen
from M ayor O ’D wyer’s proposal
a n d said t h a t “continued pro­
longed discussion is only delaying
th e day w hen th e p resen t crazyquilt of m unicipal services can
be replaced by a soun d a n d equi­
table classification.” T o speed up
th e process h e suggested th e use
of two basic questio nnaires — one
eliciting th e views of employees
w ith respect to duties, respon­
sibilities. grade, ra n k an d pay
of th e ir positions; a n d th e o th er
seeking “th e prevailing p ay scale

federal agencies and private con­
cerns in th e m etropolitan area.
Mr. D iana said tlia t coding of
these questionnaires, perm itting
th e tise of m echanized equipm ent
for arranging and sorting, would
make possible completion of the
survey by Jan u ary 1, 1950 and
would reduce th e am ount of staff
necessary to be assigned to th e
survey.
The Program
H ie Council No. 330 president
subm itted a 7-point program call­
ing for th e following:
1—Completion of th e reclass­
ification survey before th e end
of th is adm inistration which
prom ised it to th e employees.
2—^f’ull participation by the em­
ployees in th e reclassification p ro ­
cess through th eir designated rep­
resentatives.
3—R aising of basic salary stan d ­
ards tc> conform w ith living costs
and w ith pay levels in sim ilar
positions in private and public
employm ent in th e m etropolitan
area.
4—E stablishm ent
«f
salary
schedules in accordance w ith th e
principle of “equal pay for equal
work.”
5—Inclusion of “longevity pay**
in salary schedules.
6—W ell-defined lines of promo­
tion w ith a choice of advance­
m ent either into positions re ­
quiring greater skills and cap­
acities w ithin th e sam e level of
function or into positions of super­
visory or adm inistrative respon­
sibility.
7—A perm anent system of
m aintaining up-to -d ate th e position-classification an d pay plan
adopted as a result of the survey.
Mr. D iana said his organization
did n o t believe it pertinent to th e
present deliberations of th e
M ayor’s Com m ittee to present a t
th is tim e specific requests for re­
classification and salary adjust­
m ents for th e various categories
of W elfare staff. He urged th e
com m ittee to proceed imm ediately
in th e m anner he suggested and
to adhere to th e principles enum ­
erated “to instire completion of
th e reclassification survey by J a n ­
u ary 1, 1950 and adoption of a
career an d pay plan th a t will be
acceptable to the overwhelming
m ajority o< th e employees, work­
able In th e Interests of proper
City m anagem ent, and efficient in
guaranteeinc adequate job per­
form ance.”

More Auto-Enginemen
Sign Annual Pay Pacts
Of tlic 1.T50 Auto Snelnemen
in NYC aervice. about 1.200 have
signed annual agreements with
the City under which they re­
ceive the $250 permanent salary
increase g ra n ts July 1, 1948 to
City employees generally, said
Budget Director Thomas J. I*atterson. The remaining §60 are
hoping to profit from a complaint
made to Comptroller Lazarus
Josei^ i n wihlch payment of the
rate of wage prevaUing i n private
industry is demanded.
Before tbe Board o f estim ate
is a resolution to ac>prove in­
cluding additional employees, now
anrwtTig ttxe 650, to l>e covered by
agreements. When a resolution
to this effect first was before the
Board it was opposed by Leopold
V. Rossi, attorney for Auto £n ginemen seeking prevailing rates.
He obtained an adjounmient.
Since then the resolution has
been adopted.
Joseph’s Argument
When the permanent incfease
was granted generally. Auto E n gini>nrM>n were included. Tlie f ilin g
of complaints with the Comp­
troller under the Labor Law pre­
vented the payment of the $250
to all Auto Enginemen. pursuant
to a Court of Appeals decision in
another ease. The Judicial find­
ing was that a prevailing rate
may turn out to be less than the
provision In an agreement and
therefore the City would be wast­
ing money.
The Comptroller’s agreement is
that the duties of NYC Auto En­
ginemen are not comparable with
those cf any title in private In­
dustry. hence it is impossible to
determine a prevailing rate.
Plea b y Feinstein
District CouncU 17, American
Federation of State. CSounty and
Municipal Employees, A. F. of L..
recommended that its members
sign agreements. The Council’s
qiwkesman before tbe Board was
