Association Inc. and Member of Employees Merit Award
Board
•
A NEW DRESS FOR CIVIL SERIVCE
THE GREATEST opportunity in recent years to make
the merit system in fact what it is in name is before the
Association and all friends of good government in New York
State.
The Governor has signed a bill (Chapter 186, Laws of
1950) establishing a commission to take the kinks, the ambiguities, the dead wood and the double-talk out of the Civil
Service Law, and to make the law simple, lyD-to-date and^
easily understood. The Commission can recommend such'
changes as are needed to make the law a firm'^defense against
the spoilsmen and the professional trafficker in public jobs,
and thus make the statute a model of good business methods
and the best personnel practices.
In his annual message to the 1950 Legislature, Governor
Dewey said that employee organizations, civic organizations
and veteran groups have fostered a new interest in public
employment and have stimulated a public consciousness of
civil service as a true career service.
ICs Antiquated,
Contradictory
All employees and all top administrators, according to
the Governor, work under the handicap of a fundamental
law which is antiquated, confusing and contradictory. It is
almost impossible to determine the precise rights and duties
of public employees in the maze of amendments and court
deciisons.
The Civil Service Law is binding on both the State and
all the local units of Government. "It is, therefore, imperative," said the Governor, "that a forum be provided wherein
all can be heard so that all may contribute to the revision.
A temporary State Commission can make recommendations
for revision which will be acceptable to interested groups
and [to] the public—In such a revision every effort should
be made to preserve and to safeguard the gains already
made in the merit system."
I interpret the Governor's words and his subsequent
action in signing the bill into law, as an invitation and a
challenge to the Association to make good on its claims as
the foremost champion of the merit system. We are given
an "open" forum from which to proclaim our faith in good
government through civil service. We are given the opportunity to display real statesmanship in our proposals for a
better law, which will keep the gains we have fought so hard
to secure and will add new vital elements that are demandd
by these times of crisis.

EMIGRANT'S FIRST HUNDRED YEARS
The Decade of the Founders
Tlie Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank
came into being as a result of the concern
felt by the Irish Emigrant Society for the
financial welfare of the thousands of emigrants arriving in the city. The Bank's
incorporation in April, 1850, followed
discussions by a group of businessmen—
most of them already active in the
Irish Society.
The founders andfirsttrustees, eighteen
''A Force for
in number, served without pay. They
leased space at 51 Chambers Street—
chosen because of its accessibility to the
tanners, laborers, domestics and mechanics
in the district—and the doors were opened
on September 30, 1850. The first day,
twenty persons deposited $3,009.00.
Standing firm against the banking panie
of 1854 and the even more severe crisis of
1857, the new Eimigrant Savings Bank was
operated BO soundly that all drafts by
depositors were honored on presentation,
and the trustees felt sufficiently strong to
begin erecting a new building on the
Chambers Street site. Hie Bank's new
home was opened in the spring of 1858;
that it was justified is evident from the
Bank's record in the last year of the
fifties: depositors, 8,487; deposits,
$2,172,873.00.

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow''
It is a pleasure to note the one-hundredth anniversary of the Emigrant
Industrial Savings Bank. Through a century of growth this great
institution has been a part of the lives of New Yorkers—encouraging
thrift, safeguarding savings, putting money to work to the advantage
^ f the conununity.
Through the years ahead, all of us look forward to making New York
« better place in which to live and work and bring up our children. Our
strength as a community must rest upon the strength and security of
the people who live here. Because the Emigrant Savings Bank during
its 100 years service has helped and is helping our people—as individuals—build up their personal resources, it stands as a force for good—
yesterday, today, tomorrow.

Labor Relations Board
No appointments have yet been
m a d e to t h e newly-created Pereonnel Relations Board, set up by
t h e Governor's executive order.
Appointments will probably await
t h e conclusion of the 30-day period which t h e Governor has to
gign or veto bills.
Disciplinary Proceedings
One bill which the Governor vetoed would have given impoi'tant
new rights to employees being disciplined. This measure, introduced
by Senator Manning and Assemblyman Lupton, would have empowered t h e Civil Service Commission, after hearing an appeal, to
order reinstatement of a dismissed employee to his job. Under
present law, t h e Commission can
only provide for t r a n s f e r of t h e
employee to a preferred list.
Another bill in the category of
extending employee rights during
disciplinary proceedings h a s not
yet been acted on. This measure
(Sen. Intro. 2331, introduced by
Senator Dalessandro and Assemblyman Foy) provides t h a t all employees in t h e competitive class
shall have a right to a hearing,
to counsel, and to witnesses when
charges are preferred. The Governor's veto of t h e Manning bill does
not bode well for this one.
However, the Governor did sign
one bill providing additional protections against disciplinary actions. This Is t h e Erwin-Ostertag

The Loyalty
Of Federal
Workers
s the headlines scream their hysterical staccato of "disloyalty" and "espionage" in Government circles, as
blackened mud is thrown time and again upon Federal employees, as attack upon men and women in the nation's service becomes a favorite indoor sport of some politicians. . . .
. . . as these things happen, it is well to remember, in
these sensitive days, the cool facts cited last week before a
Senate Investigating Committee by Seth W. Richardson,
head of the Federal Loyalty Review Board.
In three years of screening Federal employees, including 10,000 field investigations, "not one single case" of espionage anywhere in Federal government ranks had been
found. Moreover, the FBI has not even found evidence
"directing toward espionage"—and this covers consideration
of 3,000,000 files.
The man who thus upheld the loyalty of Federal employees is himself a Republican who sei-Ved as an Assistant
Attorney General under Herbert Hoover.
It is high time that this nation re-examined the cascading emphasis on thought-control of Federal employees.
The only things that have been gained so far are a widespread development of feai- in Government circles and a
refusal of competent men to enter Government service.
The loyalty of American government workers is beyond
dispute.
A
And
Now—
Downgradings?
h e State Classification Board now proposes to downgrade two groups of positions in the Division of Placement and Unemployment Insurance. The downgradings are
recommended as the result of a study made when employees
in different titles asked that their positions be upgraded.
It is clear that if this is now to become a fixed policy
of the Board, if an appeal for a higher allocation is to be
used as a means to reallocate related positions downward,
then employees simply will not appeal. They will cease to
use what until now has been an admirable agency for the
purpose of correcting injustices. They will hesitate to jeopardize the jobs of fellow-employees. They will lose the right
of appeal, just as efl'ectively as if it were denied them altogether.
Another point: Under the law, no salajy of a present
incumbent may be reduced (Sec. 39 A, sub. 2). How does the
Board propose to get around this provision? And if it should
succeed in downgrading only new emploj'^ees, what havoc
will result with different employees on the same job doing
the same work earning different salai'ies. Isn't that exactly
what a proper classification and salaiy standardization is
designed to prevent?
Fortunately, there will be an open meeting before any
real damage is done. The employee representatives will be
able to state their case, and from all accounts they expect
to do it with gi-eat foi'cefulness.

Don't R e p e a t T h i s asked t h e
newsmen t h r e e questions a b o u t
the gubernatorial race and three

D e m o c r a t s ? Republicans?
4. As things look now. which of
t h e following, in your opinion, is
likely t6 be t h e Republican c a n d i d a t e for S e n a t o r ?
T h e s a m e Republican n a m e s
were listed as for Governor, with
t h e exception t h a t Irving M. Ives,
now U. S. S e n a t o r , was o m i t t e d
f r o m the list; a n d W. K i n g s l a n d
Macy of Suffolk County, m e n tioned as a S e n a t o r i a l possibility
in some quarters, was included.
5. W h i c h of t h e following. In
your opinion, is most likely to be
t h e Democratic c a n d i d a t e for Senator?
T h e s a m e Democratic n a m e s
were listed as for t h e g u b e r n a torial race.
6. I n your opinion, which side is
likely to win t h e S e n a t e election in
1950? D e m o c r a t s ? R e p u b h c a n s ?
T h e newsmen were asked to
m a r k a first and second choice in
each column.
Dewey l^'ar Ahead
I n the gubernatorial r a c e . D e w e y
r a n so f a r a h e a d on t h e Republic a n side t h a t no o t h e r c a n d i d a t e
seems to have even remotely comp a r a b l e pulling power. He received
24 first choice votes a n d 5 second
choice votes.
Strongest r u n n e r - u p was Lieut e n a n t Governor J o e R. Hanley,
with 8 first choices a n d 14 second
choices. To t h e newsmen Hanley
a p p e a r s by long odds t h e likeliest
c a n d i d a t e if Dewey doesn't r u n .
S e n a t o r Ives was t h i r d a m o n g
t h e Republicans, with 2 first
choices a n d 6 seconds. O t h e r G O P
gubernatorial potentials who i-eceived scattered votes f r o m t h e
n e w s m e n : F r a n k C. Moore, Oswald
D. Heck, Robert P. P a t t e r s o n .
Ewing Leads Democrats
On t h e Democratic side. Federal
Security A d m i n i s t r a t o r Oscar R.
Ewing is t h e likeliest pos.sibility a t
this time, t h e newsmen feel. T h e y
gave him 14 first choice votes a n d
8 second choices.
S u p r e m e Court J u s t i c e Ferdin a n d Pecora r a n second, with 8
first choices a n d 5 second choices.
Appeals Coui t J u d g e Charles W.
Froessel was given 6 f h s t choices,
6 seconds. F r a n k l i n D. Roosevelt
J r . received 2 first n o m i n a t i o n s , 6
second choice votes. Averell H a r r i m a n was f o u r t h with 2 fir.sts, 5
.seconds. William O'Dwyer was given 3 firsts, 2 seconds.
O t h e r Democratic
candidates
who received s c a t t e r e d votes f r o m
t h e writers were Paul E. F i t z p a t rick, H a i o l d Medina a n d L a z a r u s
Joseph.
GOP to Win—But
Although the p r e p o n d e r a n t view
of t h e newsmen is t h a t t h e R e p u b -
licans will win, it is by no m e a n s
a strongly held opinion. Of those
who voted on t h i s question, 16 said
t h e G O P would emerge victorious,
10 t h e Democrats. B u t m a n y added such terse descriptives as " a
toss-up," "close," "very close." O n e
c o r r e s p o n d e n t added t h e c o m m e n t : " D e m o c r a t s would probably
lose w i t h o u t t h e Liberal P a r t y .
Dewey a n d Ives are only Republic a n s who could win." Another j o t ted down, a f t e r recording his
opinion t h a t t h e Republican P a r t y
will win: "If D e m o c r a t s w a n t a
c h a n c e to win against Dewey,
J u d g e Pecora is t h e only m a n . " A
f o u r t h s a i d : "O'Dwyer is a sure
bet to r u n a n d win, with his New
York City .strength, if Dewey
doesn't r u n . "
What the Opinion Means
T h e new\smen t h u s see a bitterly
fought, t i g h t battle, with t h e o u t come 'fairly in doubt, a slight edge
now to t h e Republicans. T o t h e
Democrats this means t h a t the
Liberal P a r t y votes c a n ' t
be
t h r o w n away; a n d t h a t a c a n d i d a t e will need to be put u p who
c a n keep t h e American Labor
P a r t y vote down to its irreducible
m i n i m u m . I t m i g h t also m e a n t h a t
t h e Democrats could decide to seek
a deal with M a r c a n t o n i o in New
York City to forestall t h e ALP
a g a i n s t p u t t i n g up a c a n d i d a t e
who will pull votes heavily f r o m
t h e Democratic c a n d i d a t e . Such a
deal would involve a g u a r a n t e e to
Mai^cantonio t h a t h e would not be
faced with formidable combined
Demo<.'ratic-GOP opposition in his
own race for re-election to t h e
House of Representatives. T h e
Democrats suspect t h a t t h e G O P
m a y already be a h e a d of t h e m on
this, and m i g h t r e f u s e to join with
t h e m on a single c a n d i d a t e to def e a t M a r c a n t o n i o in his Congressional District. T h i s would indicate to t h e m t h a t t h e Republicans
will h a v e cemented a deal w h e r e by the fiery H a r l e m Congressman
would p u t u p a s t r o n g ALP gubernatorial c a n d i d a t e , to pull a .sizeable vote f r o m t h e Democrats,

I t is a s t a r t l i n g item t h a t J a m e s
A. Farley, who h a s been m e n t i o n ed p r o m i n e n t l y as a Democratic
potential, received not a single
vote f r o m t h e reporters. F a r l e y
represents a .substantial segment
of D e m o c r a t i c t h i n k i n g In t h e
S t a t e . T h e r e is no doubt t h a t t h e
newsmen r e g a r d h i m with respect
a n d kindness. T h a t t h e y allotted
h i m no c h a n c e at t h e n o m i n a t i o n
m a y indicate t h e i r awareness of
the.se f a c t o r s : (1) t h a t too m a n y
of those presently in control of t h e
p a r t y m a c h i n e r y oppose Farley—
a m o n g t h e o p p o n e n t s being P a u l
E. Fitzpatrick, Ed Flynn, a n d t h e
Albany O'Connells; (2> t h a t he's
been out of the active political
picture too long; (3) t h a t he's not
actively fighting f o r t h e n o m i n a tion, which would also m e ^ n fighting to overthrow t h e present p a r t y
leadership. T h e new.smen failed to
endorse Mr. Farley even t h o u g h a

Bruce Bromley.
T h e y T a k e O'Dwyer's Word
T h e r e p o r t e r s also accept M a y o r
O'Dwyer'^ r e p e a t e d assertions t h a t
h e i n t e n d s to r e m a i n for t h e e n tire t e r m as chief of New Y o r k
City's government. Polled by t h i s
column on t h e s a m e question i n
J a n u a r y 1949, t h e newsmen t h e n
felt t h a t O'Dwyer was t h e o u t .standing
possibility to oppose
Dewey f o r t h e governorship, a n d
t h a t t h e D e m o c r a t s would win
with h i m as t h e i r c a n d d i a t e .
Newsmen Consistent
However, t h e r e is consistency i n
t h e s t a n d t a k e n by t h e n e w s m e n .
T h i s column reported a f t e r t h e
1949 poll: " T h e survey revealed
t h a t Oscar R. Ewing, F e d e r a l Security Administrator, and a protege of Bronx boss Ed F l y n n ,
s t a n d s h i g h as a possible D e m o cratic c a n d i d a t e if O'Dwyer doesn't run."
T h e J a n u a r y 1949 story also r e vealed a n u n c a n n i l y precise i n .stinct on t h e p a r t of t h e n e w s m e n
with respect to Governor Dewey.
I t was t h e n w r i t t e n :
". . . t h e G O P m a y try to d r a f t
Dewey . . . despite t h e g r u m b l i n g
a g a i n s t h i m in some G O P q u a r ters. Dewey's hold on his p a r t y r e m a i n s s t r o n g ; a n d m u s t inevitably
grow stronger between now a n d
1950, as t h e p a r t y looks to him for
sustenance."
T h e Senate Race
T h e views of t h e newsmen on
t h e S e n a t e r a c e are m u c h m o r e
decisive. T h e y seem to have little
doubt t h a t t h e c a n d i d a t e s will be
t h e s a m e as last year, a n d t h e r e sults t h e s a m e too. By a wide m a r gin. t h e y .see H e r b e r t H. L e h m a n
r u n n i n g for t h e D e m o c r a t s , w i t h
J o h n Foster Dulles as his Republic a n opponent. L e h m a n received 20
first choice votes f r o m t h e political
writers, no seconds; Dulles won
16 fir.st choices, 2 seconds.
T h e newswriters recorded t h e i r
opinions several days before l a s t
week's a n n o u n c e m e n t t h a t M r .
Dulles would become a S t a t e Department consultant. T h a t action
precipitates h i m even more strongly into t h e spotlight a g a i n .
O n t h e Republican side, Dewey
was given 4 first choice votes, 3
second choices. I n t h e D e m o c r a t i c
column, O'Dwyer was g r a n t e d 3
first choices, 1 second.
O t h e r potentials receiving s c a t t e r e d votes I n t h e S e n a t e r a c e
were:
O n t h e Republican side: E d w a r d
Cor.si, William Donovan, Dwight
Eisenhower, George F r a n k e n t h a ler, N a t h a n i e l Goldstein, Joe R.
Hanley, W. K i n g s l a n d Macy, Walter Mahoney.
On t h e Democratic side: O s c a r
R. Ewing, Robert J a c k s o n , J a m e s
M. Mead, L a z a r u s Joseph, F e r d i n a n d Pecora, F r a n k l i n D. Roosevelt, J r .
Democratic Victory Seen
Unlike t h e turgid g u b e r n a t o i i a l
picture, t h e newsmen see a c l e a r cut Democratic victory in the S e n a t e race. A n u m b e r of t h e m .'iplit

Republican choice for Governor.

Military Credits Bill
Gets R e n e w e d Backing
P a t r i c k J . Fitzgerald, President
of Local 10, New York F e d e r a t i o n
of Post Office Clerks, reported t h a t
t h e Military Credits Bill passed by
t h e House of R e p r e s e n t a t i v e s is

T h e bill extends to veterans in
t h e postal service salary credit for
t h e war service time.
Vaca(h>n and Sick I..eavt*
Pres. Fitzgerald says t h a t e f f o r t s
will be m a d e to h a v e Congress
give to postal employees t h e s a m e
vacation a n d sick leave privileges

NYC budget, a n d r e c o m m e n d e d

T h e union considered
either
voicing a strong objection to t h e
w h a t it calls t h e futile h e a r i n g s
a n d a budget it finds u n s a t i s f a c tory or even boycotting t h e budget
h e a r i n g s altogether.
T h e officers of t h e union, of
which P a t r i c k J . B r a d y is president, at a recent meeting u n a n i mously agreed to r e c o m m e n d to
t h e executive board t h a t a u n i t e d

the budget for its " f a i l u r e to meet

President Philip M u r r a y , of t h e
CIO, who h a s expressed a willingness to discuss in W a s h i n g t o n with
APL officials co-operation in labor
objectives. T h e ACEU is affiliated
with t h e CIO.
R a y m o n d E. Diana, director of
organization of t h e union in t h e
New York district, denounced t h e
budget h e a r i n g s as m e r e s h a d o w boxing.
"We're considering boycotting
t h e meeting altogether," h e said,
"because it is farcical to limit e m ployees' representatives to t h r e e
m i n u t e s and, on t h e whole, to expect a n y results whatever, no m a t ter w h a t is said at t h e hearings.
They're t h e s a m e old farce. Everyt h i n g is decided in advance of t h e
hearings, so what good does it do,
no m a t t e r w h a t one s a y s ? "
Mr. D i t n a expressed e n t h u s i a s m

Bill E x t e n d i n g P e n s i o n C a i n s
ALBANY, April 10—The signing
of the Conrad-Clancy bill whi<di
extends until June 30, 1952 the
liberalized NYC pension plan enacted by the Legislature last year,
would be a boon to thousands of
KYC employees. Unless the lave is
enacted, those members of the
N Y C Employees Retirement Syst e m who didn't apply or signify
their acceptance In time last
jrear would be excluded from the
extra benefits.
The liberalized plan eryables retirement at age S5 at half pay
after 25 years, instead of after
SO years of member-service, with
benefits proportional for greater
or fewer niunber of years of service. The member m a y retire later until 70, if h e prrfers.
50,000 Applied
Last year 50,000, or half t h e
total membership of the System,
applied but 5,000 of them didn't
go through with it.
Mayor William O'Dwyer of NYC
h a s recommended to Governor
Thomas E. Dewey t h a t h e sign
t h e bill. The meonorandum submitted pointed out t h a t the application period allowed under
last year's law, terminating on
June 30, 1949, was too short t o

members fully to appraise t h e m -

Many emidoyees fadJed to make
an election, said t h e Mayor, because they weren't fully acquainted with the law, and have lectmed

additional time to study the provisions.
Benefits Broadly Dtetrttnited
City employees about to retlrt
would be among those benefitted.
T h e N Y C Employees Retirement
System, of which Ralph L. Van
Name is Secretary, has been encouraging emploj^ees to hold oft
their retirement api^icatiions, so
that if the bill is passed they may
obtain the increased benefiits.
Many such applications were
therefore delayed but will be renewed soon after the GovCTnor
makes his decision.

" T h e courts have f o u n d t h a t
iftie civil sierv^ice workmen i n volved a r e entitled to t h e prevaili n g r a t e of wage" added Mr. B a r r y .
" Y o u r c h a n g i n g of t h e i r title will

will instead establish a very fine
legal technicality which will h e l p
to prevent them from having t h e

a g r e e m e n t a n d t h e title R e p a i r m a n ' s Helper, " t h e duties of
which a r e very n u m e r o u s a n d diversified."
T h e m a j o r i t y of t h e employees
r e f u s e d to accept t h e offer, Mr.
Wurf declared in a m e m o r a n d u m
submitted to t h e Commission, because t h e y wouldn't waive t h e i r
r i g h t s u n d e r t h e Labor Law, as
t h e a g r e e m e n t s require.
"If t h e y do d e m a n d prevaihng

no s t a n d a r d of comparison a n d n o

H e added t h a t " t h e Budget D i r ector is a t t e m p t i n g to deprive t h e
m e n " of t h e i r r i g h t to h i g h e r pay.
Tells of Past Tactics
" W h e n h e finds t h a t t h e m e n
won't accept such a n agreemewt,
h e will unquestionably resort to
t h e s a m e tactics t h a t iie used
a g a i n s t t h e Pipe Caulkers," cont i n u e d Mr. W u r f . " W h e n t h e y r e f u s e d to sign a n a g r e e m e n t h e i m mediately t h r e a t e n e d to cut t h e i r
working week to two days. Some,
fearing h e would m a k e good his
t h r e a t , signed. O t h e r s refused.
T h e r e u p o n h e actually did reduce
those who refused to two working
days a week. T h i s was indeed a n
effective weapon, f o r
shortly
t h e r e a f t e r t h o s e who h a d been
r e d u c e d signed t h e a g r e e m e n t .
" T h e Budget Director
has
proved in t h e p a s t thart; h e will
use t h e weapons a t his disposal
t o compel t h e m e n to work f o r
pay less t h a n t h e prevailing r a t e
of wage."
One of the Big Issues
T h e prevailing r a t e issue is one
of t h e most i m p o r t a n t ones in
NYC civil service. I t involves,
directly or indirectly, about 20,000 employees, h e n c e t h e APL h a s
decided to oppose strenuously all
resolutions before t h e Commission
t h a t would adversely affect t h e
r i g h t s of laborers, w o r k m e n a n d
