Tlie a d - Lessons in Defeat Of the Mahoney Bill N ministration dearly wanted passed, and for the enactment of which the most powerful pressures had been exerted. The measure would have annihilated the bipartisan civil service structure as it now exists. Out of the biirs defeat several important lessons can be drawn. At the same time, certain erroneous impressions must be set at rest. P r i n c i p l e , Not Personalities 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. Tuesday, March 25, 1952 j o u r n m e n t was denied. T h e e m ployee was f o u n d guilty, a n d dismissed. T h e r e u p o n , t h e employee sued In t h e S u p r e m e Court in N a s s a u C o u n t y t o compel his r e i n s t a t e m e n t . He m a i n t a i n e d t h a t h e was arbitrarily and unlawfully removed f r o m his job in t h a t " h i s dismissal was not based on a n y i n s u b o r d i n a t i o n or misconduct In office p e r t a i n i n g t o his duties," a n d t h a t t h e c h a r g e s h a d n o basis in f a c t . Misconduct Need Not Be on Job T h e Court noted t h a t t h e r e was enough evidence a t t h e h e a r i n g t o j u s t i f y t h e finding of guilt; t h a t in a n y event no h e a r i n g h a d t o be conducted since t h e employee was not a n h o n o r a b l y discharged v e t e r a n or a n e x e m p t volunteer fireman; a n d t h a t a m p l e time t o d e f e n d h a d been given. I t also asserted t h a t t h e criminal a c t i o n c o n s t i t u t e d no b a r t o t h e c h a r g e s since conviction or acquittal in t h e court was not controlling on t h e a p p o i n t i n g officer. Actually, t h e custodian h a d been convicted in t h e criminal pi'ocedings. T h e Court also disposed of t h e contention t h a t the misconduct complained of was outside t h e scope of his duties a n d , t h e r e f o r e . outside t h e school b o a r d ' s j u r i s diction. O n t h i s score, t h e C o u r t called a t t e n t i o n t o t h e f a c t t h a t " m i s c o n d u c t " , unlike Incompetency, need n o t occur on t h e job.

Te.sts: STATE Open-Competitive Tentative Key Answers Hundreds of Jobs In Skilled Trades At Navy Yard NOTARY PUBLIC SERVICE FREE CIVIL Page Sixteen 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."
