T h e two outstandingf measures,
«nd those which h a d evoked most
widespread interest, were (1) 55year retirement and (2) veteran
preference.
Retirement Bill
T h e first of these measures h a d
been a policy item of the Civil
Service Employees Association for
14 years. It authorizes every member of the State Retirement Syst e m , until December
J1950, to
^ c t retlr^niem at age 55, with the
additional cost divided between
t h e employer (State or local unit
of government) and the employee.
T h i s is a substantial forward advance over the older plan, in
iwhich the entire cost was borne by
t h e employee. The employer credMs a pension of l/120th of t h e
final average salary iniStead of
l / 1 4 0 t h for all years of service up
t o age 55. The plan is open to
employees over the age of 55, too.
T h e measure passed unanimously.
T h e bill, introduced by Senator
Halpern and Assemblyman Rabin,
h a d administration support. It
goes into effect as soon as it is
signed by the Governor.
Preference Legislation
The veteran preference legislation came out of Amendment 5,
known as the "Mitchell Bill,"
which had been a hard-fought issue over a two-year period. How
thoroughly the issue has subsided,
however, was indicated t y the remarkable vote for the vet preference legislation — unanimous in
t h e Senate, only a single Nay in
t h e Assembly. The bljl puts into
effect the provisions of
the
Amendment providing for 10 per
cent additional credits to disabled
veterans on entrance examinations, and 5 per cent additional
credits to disabled veterans on
promotion examinations. Non-disabled veterans get half
this
amount of credit. The sensitive
Question of retention preference—
t h a t is, who goes first in case of
layoffs — was not acted on this
year. It is expected to be a separ a t e measure in 1951. The legislation was drawn up by a Governor's
committee representing both sides

Increment Credit
The provisions of the present
"Lupton Law" were extended to
April 1951. These hold t h a t Increment credit earned for service
as temporary or provisional employees shall be retained after permanent appointment to t h e same
or similar positions. Applying only
to State employees, t h e importance of this law is highlighted by
the fact t h a t in New York City
this has become an important issue. Frequently it happens In t h e
City t h a t provisional employees
upon being appointed permanently, must take the position at the
minimum of the grade—lower pay
t h a h they are earning as provisionals. In the S t a t e service, this
no longer happens. T h e bill was
introduced by Erwin in the Senate
and Wilcox in t h e Assembly.
The 'Longevity' Bill
A bill in which there was m a j o r
employee Interest came closer to
passage t h a n many legislative experts would have predicted when
the session opened. And although
the measure did not finally come
through, it is considered t h a t its
chances are materially heightened
when the Legislature meets in
1951. This measui'e provides one
extra increment after an employee has been at the maximum
of his grade for 5 years, a second
increment after 10 years, and a
third after 15 years, with a $4,002
maximum. The principle of this
bill has been introduced in one
form or another, for many years,
"Longevity pay" is a recognized
principle in certain other governmental jurisdiction, including the
Federal service. There is reason to
believe t h a t eventually the proposal will be enacted into law.
The emergency compensation of
legislative and judicial employees
was frozen into base puy. There is
now no division into bonus and
base in the salary of any State
employee.

THE BEST POLICY
"HONESTY is the Best Policy." I have tried in all'
my duties and contacts as your President to make honesty;
nfiy policj'. I h£V5
and 1 have written only wTiat 1 Le-'
lieve to be true.
One of my duties as President is to safeguard at all
times, and to improve, as opportunity presents, your Association insurance policies which I honestly believe are among
the very best available anywhere. (G.I. insurance may be
better. If you have any, don't let it lapse, is my advice.)
A peculiar and difficult problem arises, because honesty
is not much regarded or practiced by some who attack and
seek to undermine your Civil Service Employees Association.
They follow the easy road of suspicion, misrepresentation,
falsehood and double talk. The truth is not in them!
Most Liberal — and Always
Better
If you have ever taken the trouble to compare your
group insurance obtained through your Civil Service Employees Association with any other individual policy or group
policy, you know that your policy is one of the most liberal
obtainable anywhere. You also know that it is continually
made better and that it is interpreted so as to give the
policyholder the breaks (something not always observed in
insurance settlements).
It so happens that some public employees envy you the
oppoii;unity to buy so much protection for so little money.
Some of these are trying to. undermine the confidence of our
members in their insurance by false and misleading statements representing the Association as operating an insurance "racket" and as receiving large "kick-backs" from the
insurance companies.
The truth is as follows:
I. The Association spends every penny it receives from
the insurance companies for your direct benefit, particularly for
(a) the necessary expenses of its insurance business,
(b) for increased benefits,
(c) for free insurance (free for you, not free for us),
(d) for lower rates (premiums),
(e) for more efficient servicing of claims, complaints
and benefits,
(f) for representing your interests with the insurance
companies.
XL No officer, no employee and no member of the Association gets a penny in pay from the insurance companies. Our expense allowance is deposited in the Association's account and is fully accounted for in the
financial statements of the Association.
i n . We have no special insurance monopoly. Any employee
group can do what we did provided they are in a position to comply with the provisions of the Insurance
Law.
To qualify for a group life insurance plan, an organization must operate primarily for other purposes than
insurance. It must have 5,000 or more members. 60%
or more of the employees of a common employer must
apply. These conditions of a b'ue group policy are required to keep the rates and the expenses low. No very
small group can offer the savings of a large group.
IV. Our Association never did build up its membership on
the insurance plan. It built up the membership first
and foremost on very real services to its members in
increased salaries and better working conditions. It
offered the insurance simply and solely as a service to
the members.
V. You do have payroll deductions, not so much for the
Association's convenience as for your convenience. It
was granted after 30,000 members applied for the
Association's Group Life Insurance.
Easy to
Misrepresent
It
is easy to misrepresent and to scatter red herrings
promiscuously in the hope that some will be fooled by the
fishy smells. I don't think you will be so misled.
portant rong-range ramifications is
a bill setting up a commission to
recodify the civil service law. This
group will have wide powers to
rewrite the law, which is contradictory and aichalc in many respects. It is a measure which the
Governor himself advocated.
John E. Holt-Harris Jr., associate counsel for the Civil Service
E m p l o y e e s Association, stated:
"We did not get everything we
wanted. No one ever does. But we
did exceptionally well, passing a
large number of bills improving
the conditions of public employees."
A full listing of the measures
which have passed, and are now
awaiting disposal by the Governor, appears on page 7.

The raise in pay went to Supervisors of the County of Schenectady, not to Couiicilmen of the

What Came Out
Of the
Legislature
T has been a relatively "good" legislative year for State
and local employees. Anyone who has been around the
third floor in the State capitol during the session ended last
week could hardly avoid sensing the good-will which legislators evidenced toward public employees. Subject to many
pressures, among these some which are anti-employee and
anti-civil service, the legislators nevertheless voted a number of substantial advances.
There has been evidence, too, of a growing maturity in
the relationship between Legislature and employee representatives. Several legislators have, for example considered it a privilege to introduce bills sponsored by the
Civil Service Employees Association, and have even vied
for that privilege.
Among the concrete accomplishments of this session
(discussed in detail elsewhere) is a growing concept of the
true importance of retirement in the life of an individual.
The 55-year retirement bill is more than an immediate advance. It is a recognition that security of this kind is becoming an important phase of American life. There can be
little question that in succeeding years, further substantial
advances in this field may be anticipated, both for those to
be and for those already on the retired roster. The attitude
is one of humaneness, a willingness to consider the human
'worker as more than a worn-out machine after a lifetime
of useful activity in public behalf.
The concept of unemployment insurance, only recently
introduced for public employees, has been extended to take
in State groups which were not formerly covered. County,
municipal and other local employees still need this protection. The Legislature cannot remain uncognizant of the
disparity in treatment between State and local workers. The
local groups will, sooner or later, have to be granted this
elementary protection, and they will be.
In the field of labor relations, much constructive work
was done. The Civil Service Commission was given the power
to reinstate employees wrongfully dismissed, and a time
limit was placed upon the now unlimited period during which
charges can be brought for incompetency or misconduct.
The Legislature has decreed that an employee in the competitive class may be represented by counsel and may summon witnesses in his behalf when he is being disciplined.
And in this field, by means other than legislation, the concept of labor relations machinery has now entered the public
service. However one may feel that the Governor's executive
order on employee relations treads too softly, nevertheless
this important concept has come into the service. It will stay.
It will be made to work.
The great battle on veteran preference found almost no
repercussion in the nearly-unanimous vote for enabling legislation to implement the Mitchell Amendment. This legislation had been worked out by a Governor's committee representing the many diverse interests which had participated
in the battle, and harmoniously they came up with a joint
program. This is the basic fact which must be remembered.
The Legislature has voted that the State civil service,
law, grown hoary, contradictory, and overlaid with a mass
of court decisions and regulations, be rewritten. This is a.
valuable move, and the Governor was wise in suggesting it.
A simplified, understandable law will make civil service work
better.
The Legislature did more than this. It acted to extend
various increment credits and other emoluments to various
specific groupings of employees.
But mainly, what comes out of this session is not what
was done in it, but the happy realization that in the field of
economic advance, new concepts and new approaches are
beginning to be put into operation. It looks well for the
future.

tells a joke on h i m s e l f — h e s w e a r s
It's absolutely true—^^hlch m a n y
a politician could p o n d e r over.
In 1931 (saj/s Lansdale) when I
was working for the Federal
In^
dian service, I was sent to the
Yankton Reservation
in South Dakota to deliver a message from the
Great White Father in
Washington. About 500 members
of this
particular
band of the Sioux
Indians assembled in a great
circle
in the open air outside the schoolhouse. I sat at a desk brought
out
from the school, and at my left
sat an auditor from the
Indian
Service who had come along to
help on another errand. After delivering the message, 1 was subjected to a barrage of
questions
for an hour and a half.
Finally an eloquent fellow
got
up and said something
in
the
Siouxian
language which
caused
a great deal of merriment.
The
interpreter gave it back to me with
all of the gestures of the
original
Interrogator.
Pointing
to me, he said:
"We
have heard a lot from this
man."
Pointimi to my companion
the
auditor, he said: "We have heard
nothing from this man. I'd like to
hear from this man. I think he is
the better
man."

400,000 Jobs during this fiscal year
of 1950. But during the 1951 fiscal year ttie Commission expects
m<M'e people wiU suDply tor the
fewer openings.
In a nutshell, people are holding onto their Federal jobs except where they're forced out.
Employee turnover is now down
to the lowest level in years.
Salary
Clarified
Adjustments
by USCSC
The Civil Service Commission
has issued regulations governing
salary adjustments of emi^oyees
who move from one position subject to the Classification Act to
another. This is the first time the
Commission has issued such regulations. as salary adjustments
have ix«vlously been made
the
eniploying agencies under principles expressed in dedsiom ot the
Comptroller General. Authority to
issue such regulations was given
to the COmmLssion by the Classi^cation Act of 1949, approved
October 28, 1949, and the new
regulaUoos will be retroacUre to
that date.
By a specific provision of the
new Classification Act, an employee is assured of a salary increase of at least one pay step
when he is promoted or transferred to a higher grade. The new
regulations also provide that, if
an employee had at some time in
the past received a salary higher
than the salary of the position to
which he is being transferred m*
promoted, his agency may use the
higher rate as a basis for fixing
his new salary, and give him more
than the rninimum salary increase
required.
ihrovisions have also been included 4n the new regulations to
pernijit an employee who is demoted or transferred after r e v i v ing longevity step Increases to be
given a comparable increase above
the maximum of the grade in his
new position. This provision would
also apply, if an employee had received a salary rate above the t<^
of his grade through an award
authorized by the Classification
Act of 1949 to supervisors and employees whose superior aoc(Mnplishments have contributed to outstanding efficiency and economy
in administration.
Other provisions serve as guides
in determining the salary rates of
employees when their positions
become subject to the Classification Act for the first time. Definite safeguards are included to
make certain that no emi^oyee
will get less pay after his position comes under Uie Classification Act, as long a« he remains in
that position.

Conferees Ponder Postal
Military Credits Bill
WASHINOTON, March 27—The
proposals for military credits for
postal workers are now before a
conference committee of the Senate and the House. H.R. 87, as
passed by t h e House, grants such
(sredits prior to July 1, 1950> while
the Senate version allows the credits to be obtained until July
1953. Postal employee (M'ganizations are striving t o hare the Senate version prevail.
Whichever version succeeds in
<^mmlttee, the legislative brancli
that didn't pass it that way would
normally adopt m e biK to conform
t o the c(mferenc« reeommendaUon.
The House bill provides^ that aU
veterans wtw entered the postal
service between July
1945 and
July 1, 1950 would receive credit
for salary promotion for all thutt
spent in the »rmed f(Mrces.

THE COBIMISSION finds that

Marine
Engineers
To Get a Break
T H E REQUIREMENTS for getting a NYC Stationary Engineer
license are expected to be eased
so that marine engineers c a n
qualify, if they've been bona fide
residents of NYC for the three
preceding years. A joint committee has been appointed to consider
a change. On the committee are
union and Civil Service Commission representatives.
T h e present requirements call
for five years of experience in related work, in NYC, within the
past seven years, with one year
of the five served under a licensed
engineer. The necessity for having
held a land job rules out marine
engineers, although they share the
responsibility for the running of
great ocean liners. T h e unions
have indicated a willingness to assent to some modification.

Upgrading and Job Reform
Employee
sonnel in the department is said
to be far too high.
T h e pay for hospital workers,
helpers and others is far too low,
these groups insist, and want i n creases included in the 1950-51
budget now under consideration.
The employees report co-operation from the department's administration and say that the solution is up to the Budget Director. because of the additional appropriation required.
Public Hearing
On Bonus
Resolution
A PUBLIC Q E A W G will be
held today (Tuesday) at 2 p.m.
at the NYC Municipal Civil Service Commission, 299 Broadway, on
a resolution to cover the c o s t ^ f living bonus, so that it m a y be received by employees who sign a
waiver, and won't constitute a promotion or any additional claim
against the city. The same resolution. word for word, was adopted
in 1949 and 1948.

out of the way, other lists are e x pected to be issued rapidly.
There are nearly 2,000 provisionals In the title. T h e Health
Department alone has 653. T h e

A RESOLUTION to freeze the

Probation Offlcers In the D o mestic Relation. Special Sessions
and Magistrates' courts are striving to have ther pay increased
in the 1950-51 budget. They comI^ain that (1) they have been underpaid for years; (2) t h e probation service has been notorious
for the large number of provisionals employed: (3) supervisory
positions Ailed on a temporary
basis.
The open-competitive list for
Probation Officer has been published, but Is not yet ready to be
used, awaiting the completion of
t h e oral test. There are 132 vacancies i n the title.
Also there are promoticn lists
which t h e Probation Offlcei's Association wants used without delay, so that the jobs will be filled
permanently. However, it is not
expected that t h e open-competitive and prcmioton lists will suffice,
as 104 eligibles are on bot^ types
of lists. A new open-cMnpetitive i
test for Probation Officer, and
new promotion tests, m a y have to
be held.

this instance the

Complaint
h e objection raiseii by employees in the DepifrtmenC
of Hospitals that jobs requiring a college degree, car
professional, scientific or technical experience, are filled in
large measure at salaries far too low, applies throughout
the NYC service. The pay is often only a little more than
$2,000 a year, and at least $1,000 less than the pay of many
manual workers. While glad to see that manual workers are
paid what they're worth, college graduates hope that at least
some amends will be made in the 1950-51 budget for theii;
benefit. This should be provided.
The only real solution is a-thorough, realistic reclassifi*
cation of the City's job structure. Then not only would
individual titles be considered on tlieir merits, but also on
a comparative basis. It is the comparison that would highlight the just requests of the underpaid professional
employees.
