to get it enacted.
2. T h e a d m i n i s t r a t i o n s t r a t e g y
on t h e bill was c h e c k m a t e d by a
powerful t h r e e - d a y drive in which
virtually all t h e m a j o r employee

ALBANY, M a r . 24—A bill passed
by t h e Legislature would p e r m i t
S u p r e m e Court Justices elected or
appointed to t h e i r positions in t h e
counties comprising N Y C
to
switch over entirely to t h e NYC
Employees R e t i r e m e n t System. At
p r e s e n t t h e Justices are m e m b e r s
of t h e S t a t e Employees R e t i r e m e n t
S y s t e m a.s to $18,000 of t h e i r salary, a n d of t h e NYC Employees
R e t i r e m e n t System as to t h e r e m a i n i n g $10,000.
T h e S t a t e would h a v e t o t r a n s fer t h e a n n u i t y reserve to t h e NYC
System, a n d c o n t i n u e to m a k e t h e
n o r m a l contribution toward p e n sion which it would have to m a k e
if t h e Justices r e m a i n e d in t h e
S t a t e System. T h e Justices t h e n
would be u n d e r a u n i f o r m pension
plan, instead of two planis in which
t h e benefits, r a t e s a n d conditions
of r e t i r e m e n t differ.
T h e bill is before Governor
T h o m a s E. Dewey.

First, the basic issue was one of principle, not of
personalities. Among the many groups who opposed the
measure, not one sought to defend indefensible existing
civil service practices nor to defend the present
commissioners; and — significantly — not one opposes
a plan of stronger central personnel management. However, all of these organizations fought to preserve the
merit system, which seemed endangered by this bill. They
were not "sold" on the Mahoney Commission's basic tenet
that civil service administration is merely an arm of the
chief executive. They feared a setup in which a State
administrator answerable solely to the Governor would
exercise wide control over local civil serice administration. They objected to the "window-dressing" character
of the civil service board set up in the bill. They didn't
like the sloppy manner in which the legislation was drawn.
T h e Right to A n a l y z e
In a democracy we hold that all interested persons
ought to have an opportunity to study and analyze a
measure. The Mahoney proposals could have had direct
impact on perhaps 400,000 persons in various civil service
jurisdictions within New York State. The manner in which
the bill was handled in the Legislature has been described
in previous issues of The LEADER. It was not a situation
designed to inspire confidence. If there had been open,
honest, full and free discussion in advance it would have
been better. It might have been possible to hammer out
a measure that would have represented a meeting of
minds. Such a bill would hav passed the Legislature in
an aura of good will.
The lesson here is important: It will never again be
p-ossible to slip or railroad through the Legislature a civil
service measure of such import.
Working Together
Another lesson has been again emphasized. The
public employee organizations, working together, constitute a unit of tremendous effectiveness. This battle
repeats what happened twice before: on the Mitchel
veteran preference amendment and on the amendment to
gain an increase in the minimum retirement allowance
for pensioners. In all three cases, under a variety of cir
cumstances, the public employee groups coalesced their
efforts: aiul in all three cases they \sn3n.
The LEADER is proud to have had a hand in achiev
ing the result.

WASHINGTON March 2*~-Expected action by the U. S. Civil
Service Commission, authorizing
limited permanent appointments,
has been delayed. It is believed
t h a t the Commission prefers to
await the outcome of proposed
legislation modifying the Whitten
amendment, which In its original
form prohibited permanent appointments and promotions, and
in its present form seems to authorize them, up to the quota of
pefmanent employees existing in
any department or agency as of
September 1, 1950.
The Commission was said to
have agreed t h a t the interpretation of last year's amendment was
correct, and a ruling to t h a t effect, to be in force about April 1.
was half promised. But April 1 is
much closer now and there's no
sign of the ruling.
The Post Office Department, in
one of its rare instances of backing up a stand by an employee
group, agreed t h a t the interpretation sought was legally sound.
The AFL postal unions were the
first ones to propose the interpretation.
In NYC the making of permanent appointments would have a
pronounced effect. Substitute employees appointed from the .same
list as were present permanent
employees would be able to get
permanent status.
jective is to have promotions made
on the basis of merit and fitness,
and not through personal or political pull.
The hardy perennial bill of Representative Christopher C. McGrath of the Bronx, NYC. met the
same kind of opposition this year
as previously.
The employees
switched their strategy. Now
they're trying to get the Republicans mtere.sted in the bill. Two
Republicans, Representatives K a tharine St. George of Tuxedo Park,
N. Y., and Edward H. Rees of K a n sas, are on the committee that's
considermg the bill. Representative Jacob K. Javits' aid has been
solicited and he is expected to use
his persuasive powers on the Republican committee members. Mr.
Javits is from Manhattan.
There is no party hostility on
tiie bill, however, and many Democrats in Congress are in favor of
it. Opposition seems to stem more
from the Senate and from a few
Representatives, including
the
committee chairman, Tom Murray. Because of Mr. Murray's
tough opposition the switch was
made to the Republicans, in the
.search for aid.
•Flying Squad' in NYC
A "FLYING SQUAD" of postal
in.spectors from Washington ha.s
been in NYC, trying to find out if
the mails are moving fast enough
and. if not, what can be done to
move them fa.ster.
The National Federation of Post
OfTice Clerks and the National
Federation of Postal Office Carriers have an answer: Put on
more men. They want Congress to
authorize an increase of 11,000
throughout the nation, which
would yield between 1.000 and 1.500 in NYC.
In the face of this suggestion
comes one from the department
in Washington, favoring a reduction by 600 of the number of carriers in NYC. How to deliver
mail faster, by using fewer carriers, is stumping the
flying
squadders.
Raiso.s and Pensions
HOPES FOR Increased pension
rates being voted at this session
of Congress, and of getting a raise
for Federal workers, grew dimmer
over the weekend. About all the
employees are led to expect is that
the pensions of present annuitants, who get $1,400 a year now,
or less, will be raised about $300.
Even this would be considered
an achievement, in the face of
opposition by Robert Ramspeck,
Chairman of the U. S. Civil Service Commission. Mr. Ramspeck
points to the huge unfunded part
of the Retirement System's obligations and says t h a t the present
annuitants did not contribute during the period of their retirement.
Hence he argues t h a t a system
that must watch its every penny
of outlay can not afford to make
grants.
Postal Merit Promotions
ANOTHER postal employee ob-
Benevolence in Reverse
ONE FEDERAL employee complains t h a t he is the victim par
excellent of the Whitten amendment. He couldn't be promoted to
the job to which he aspired, and
for which his superiors acknowledged he was well fitted. But the
department was able, as he said,
"to pick a man right off the
streets and give liim the job t h a t
I was trained to fill through five
years of faithful Federal service."

come out of t h e new budget p r o g r a m be e a r m a r k e d for pay raises.
Mr. Moore extended t h e i n v i t a tion t o t h e seven official delegates
of t h e u n i t y committee a n d it was

T h e delegates agreed t h a t Mr.

" T h e die is cast," h e told t h e

CITIES REVISE BID BOND PROCEDURES
IN AN A T T E M P T to encourage competitive bidding for municipal
business d u r i n g t h e c u r r e n t m a t e r i a l shortage, cities are s t r e a m l i n i n g
procedures f o r bid deposits required of sellers, t h e Municipal F i n a n c e
Officers Association reports.
A recent survey of 33 U. S. cities showed t h a t n i n e no longer r e quired bidders to enclose deposits with bid q u o t a t i o n s while seven
o t h e r cities have hiked t h e a m o u n t of p u r c h a s e for which f o r m a l bids
m u s t be obtained. T h i s l a t t e r action, t h e Association observed, h a s
been p r o m p t e d in p a r t by t h e f a c t t h a t t h e rise in cost of m a t e r i a l s
due to inflation m a k e bids necessary on smaller q u a n t i t y orders.
U n d e r bid deposit procedures, firms bidding for business m u s t
a c c o m p a n y t h e i r bid with a certified check, cash or bonds as a
g u a r a n t e e t h a t t h e y will accept t h e order or c o n t r a c t if awarded. T h e

of t h e bid in Baltimore, Jacksonville, Pla., a n d Minneapolis t o t h e
full a m o u n t of t h e c o n t r a c t in Bo.ston, t h e Association's survey showed.
Typical of t h e revised bid bond procedure recently feffected by
cities is t h a t of Phoenix. T h e r e , effective t h e first of t h e year, bid
deposits a r e no longer required of Arizona firms s u b m i t t i n g bids of
less t h a n $5,000 to t h e city. Previously bid deposits were required on
all bids over $500.
I n Milwaukee, firms bidding for city business m u s t fill out p r e
qualification f o r m s on which t h e y m u s t list t h e type of business t h e y
are engaged in a n d t h e n a m e s of t h e i r officers. T h i s f o r m serves as a n
