County Division of CSEA
Holds Record MeetingsHails Vital Gains W o n
At-BANY, Oct. 19 — T h e County
Division delegates' conference held
the largest and most enthusiastic
Kieeting in its seven-year history, at
Civil Service Employee Association
headquarters last week. J . Allyn
Stearns presided.
More t h a n 100 delegates were present. Three field representatives, of
the Afisociation were there, too:
Charles L. Culyer, who spoke; Jack
Kurtzman, and Ernest A. Conlon.
All three cover both County Division and State Division chapters.
John J. Kelly Jr., assistant counsel,
and Philip Kerker, public relations
director, spoke, too, and President
Jesse B. McParland sent a message
of welcome, since at the time laryngitis prevented him from speaking.
Kelly Gives Le)f>:al Information
Mr. Kelly discusses the five-day
week, methods of attainment, controverting union recognition, revising
work niles and the relation.ship of
such rules to other considerations,
such as allowances for auto travel.
He suggested possible solution of dual
coverage problems affecting employees' cars, which they use in local
government .service, since the employees buy car insurance, and a
eoimty, for instance, has a blanket
Insurance policy.
Achievements Noted
Mr. Culyer referred to the agenda
of the first meeting of county chapters, in October, 1947, over which
J. Leslie Winnie, then president of
the Chemuiig chapter, presided. The
«<igenda consisted of a nine-point program. Mr. Culyer read from the record: 1, .stabilization of salaries; 2,
improved working conditions; 3, improvement of the retirement law; 4.
operation of a true five-day week;
5, better .salaries and working hours
for non-teaching school employees.
"Those were the first five objectives," he said. All have been achieved.
But it was no accident. Positive
energetic efforts by the County Division chapters and officers, and by
officers, committees and other representatives of the Association com-
blned to produce these notably successful results."
He praised the Association's policy
of subsidizing, through its membership committee, attractive factual
material for membership campaigns
by chapters.
"The A.ssociatlon is determined to
keep up-to-date," he added, "its approach to membership problems."
Galpin Talks On Raises
F. Henry Galpin, salary research
consultant on the Association staff,
explained the services rendered by
the Association on salary matters,
and gave an expert insight into the
methods to be pursued to achieve results. The Association furnishes the
chapters with a kit on the subject.
Including comparative pay statistics
of jobs in other counties and in
other governmental jurisdictions, as
well a.s in private industry.
The audience listened with closest
attention while Mr. Galpin detailed
a tested step-by-step process for
obtaining pay increases by negotiation, and recommended t h a t Intensive
efforts should be begun by all chapters when the Association year
starts. (It started the next day.—
Editor.) A .schedule of appearances
before Board of Supervisors, Common Council, or other legislative
body, was stressed as a vital necessity.
Mr. Galpin answered questions for
an hour and a half.
Resolutions were adopted by the
County Division at its September
meeting, and forwarded to the Association's resolution committee. All
the county resolutions were favorably
reported by the committee, and all
were adopted at the Association's a n nual meeting, which followed the
County Division conference session.
Anniversary December 15
The County, Division will be seven
years old on December 15, 1953. Its
membership increased again this
year and, as of September 30 last,
was 10,569.

Public Works Employee
Problems Aired at Session
ALBANY, Oct. 19—A coinprehenBive discussion of problems afTccting
employees marked the conference of
Btate Public Works Department
chapters, held last week at Civil Service Employees Association headquarters. As guests were Lester Crick of
Albany, Deputy Superintendent of
Public Works; Warren Welch, per• o n n e l a d m i n i s t r a t o r ; W m . Kelcy
of the State Department of Civil
Bsrvice, Division of Classification
and Compensation, and two of Mr.
Kelcy's assistants. The guests a n swered puestions from the floor.
The principal problems:
Pay Cuts
1. Reclassification of per diem employees to an annual basis has resulted in pay cuts, particularly in
District 10, ranging frorn $110 to $700
a year. Those cut $700 or nearly that
much resigned. The cuts re.sulted
f r o m the higher per diem rates preTailing on Long Island, in private industry. t h a n elsewhere in the State,
and, the State had to come somewhere near them, for reasons of competition. So the chapters want a
grade differential to be established
geographically, to bring the pay of
those who stayed, at least up to their
previous pay. This would Invoke the
Kime principle as the Commission
applies to hiring stenographers and
typists In New York City at a higher entrance rate t h a n obtains in
State employ elsewhere, and is believed to be attainable administratively. Titles include maintenance
helper, maintenance man, equipment
operator, and tree pruner. Upward
reallocation is sought. In Districts 5
and 8 there have been fewer instances
of such marked disparity.
Correct Evaluation of Work
2. Truck drivers, equipment operators, and light maintenance foremen are all In the same grade, G-5,
though the titles represent unequal
degrees of responsibility, no higher
pay is sought for those performing
the more responsible work.
Safcffuard on Reclassification
3. A new law is sought, to safeguard per diem employees' pay being
cut, on reclassification, in line with
the protection afforded to annual
employees.
Subsistence Pay
4. An increase to $3, from present
$3.75, is sought, for daily subsistence.
Now any one working on construction
tion more t h a n 25 miles from headquarters may choose between $3.20
a day travel expenses. If using his
own car, and $3.75 subsistence to live
near the construction job. Few choose
the $3.75, since it's far from enough
to pay expenses, but more would,
especially those who have no cars,
if the subsistence rates were raised.
No travel expense goes with the subsistence rate. Any subsistence selector would either get a lift home or
be Impossibly distant from home.
Engineers are affected by this situation.
Auto Travel Rate
5. An increase in auto travel rate,
to 10 cents a mile, from 8, Ls asked.
Reclassification Completion
6. Reclassification of titles omitted
from this undertaking to date, is a n other request. Some maintenance
men have not been reclassified, nor
h a v e . ^ r i l l rig operators, but Civil
Service Department, pleading a
heavy load of tasks, expects total completion by April 1.
More Titles
7. Additional titles, to fill the gap
existing in all districts, are regarded
as imperative, and Mr. Welch volunteered t h a t the Public Works Department will request new ones for
next year.
Holiday Pay
8. Per diem employees want holiday pay. They get the same vacation
and sick leave as annual employees
and insist there should be no discrimination as to holidays, either.
William A. Greenauer, of District
110, acted as secretary of the meeting.
Assn. Sets Its Policies
(Continued f r o m Page 1)
tlonal increments based on length of
•ervice; 25-year retirement for unilormed prison employees and Mental
Hyeriene employees; integration of
Bocial Security aid w i t h o u t i m pairing ..he benefits of existing retirement systems; optional retirement
a f t e r 25 years; a minimum retirement
allowance of $1,500; salary adjustments for women guards at Albion
a n d Westfield; improved grievance
machinery; elimination of fees on
promotion examinations; hazardous
pay classifications for employees in
TO hospitals and wards; time and a
half for overtime; eleven paid holidays; a basic 40-hour week for employees of local governments; and
many other improvements.
The annual meeting began with
©pen house Association headquarters,
Helen Todd, chairman of the Program Committee, presiding.
Chapter Groups Meet
Tuesday morning, October 13, was
occupied with conferences of departmental groups deliberating upon their
own problems. Meetings held by delegates of departmental chapters, and
t h e names of the presiding -officers,
follow:
Correction. Charles E. Lamb;
H e a l t h , Dr. Wm. Siegal; Social
Welfare, Charles H. Davis: Public
Works, Charles J. Hall; Education,
Dr. Theodore C. Wenzl; Conservation, Noel F. McDonald; Armory employees, Randall Vaughan; Labor,
Joseph Redling.
The County Division held the largest conference in its histci-y. With J,
Allyn Stearns presiding, the delegates heard Association functionaries
describe various phases of their operations ut the local levels of government.
A Memorial Plaque was dedicated
In Association headquarters, with
Francis A. MacDonald, former chairm a n of the Southern Regional ConXerence, making tiie presentation.
J. Raymond McGovern, Compntroller of the State, described the new
Social Security program, pointing out
its essentially humane features and
at the same time recognizing its inadequacies. At a later meeting, a n
address was made by Gene Robb,
publisher of the Albany "TimesUnion," on the relation of the public
employee and the press.
Internal Organization
The delegates gave renewed consideration to matters of internal organizational operation.
Two amendments to the CSEA constitution, which would have enabled
the amendment of chapter constitutions by the board of directors, were
tabled for the second time.
Another tabled section dealth with
the problem of voting by proxy.
The question of what constitutes a
quonim at Association meetings was
clarified by vote of the delegates, who
set one-third as the figure. This section will be voted upon again at the
next Association meeting, and if approved then, will become part of the
Association constitution.
A section which would have forbidden a candidate from ruruiing for
more t h a n one office at the same time
was lost.
Another amendment, concerning
withdrawal of a candidate, was ordered changed, and will be presented
again to the delegates. (A detailed
account of actions on the Constitution and by-laws appears elsewhere
in this issue.)
All five r e ^ o n a l conferences held
meetings which wera social, with
much good spirit disseminated
McFarland Gets Award
One of the most moving actions at
the assemblage was the presentation
of a leather hand-tooled book-scroll
to Jesse B. McFarland, outgoing president, by the Central Conference. A
complete surprise, the presentation
was made by Helen Musto and
Charles Methe. The presentation was
the more poignant in t h a t Mr. McFarland, whose voice was "gone" as
the result of laryngitis, couldn't express his thanks except with gestures.

How I'd
And
By RUDOLPH
T h e r e was a time, n o t so long
ago, w h e n working people — laborers, clerks, lawyers a n d t e a c h ers — sought eagerly for New
York City jobs.
Tliese jobs h a d two special f e a tures that made them d e s i r a b l e security, a n d even m o r e i m p o r t a n t , a pension on r e t i r e m e n t .
For these benefits, people o f t e n
were willing to forego t h e h i g h e r
salaries t h e y could c o m m a n d in
p r i v a t e i n d u s t r y . T h e y m i g h t be
depriving themselves of luxuries,
b u t t h e y could meet t h e i r i m m e d i a t e needs a n d p l a n on a s a f e
future.
Tliose days are gone. I n literally
t h o u s a n d s of cases today, city e m ployees find t h a t c o n t i n u i n g on
t h e i r jobs m e a n s depriving t h e m selves a n d t h e i r families of t h e
necessities of life. And private i n d u s t r y now h a s pension plans too
— m a n y of t h e m better t h a n t h e
city's plan.
T h e n e w s p a p e r s told recently of
a school t e a c h e r in Newark, N. J.,
who left his job to become a t r u c k
driver, because it paid almost twice
as m u c h .
T h a t situation Is Just as t r u e i n
New York City, a n d . as a result,
city employees a r e leaving t h e i r
jobs in record n u m b e r s . I n a d d i tion, some of those who r e m a i n o n
t h e i r city jobs a r e r e s e n t f u l of
h i g h e r salaries paid in private i n d u s t r y a n d are so preoccupied w i t h
personal f i n a n c i a l problems t h e y
c a n n o t give t h e i r best to t h e job.
T h i s is a serious problem for city
workers a n d for t h e city as a
whole. T h e r e is no easy solution.
U n d e r o r d i n a r y circumstances,
t h e obvious solution would be t o
raise t h e salaries of city e m ployees. B u t t h e t r e m e n d o u s rise
In t h e cost of living h a s hit t h e
city itself, just as it h a s h i t city
workers.
Until t h e city Is r e h a b i l i t a t e d
financially, no responsible official
c a n promise i m m e d i a t e salary i n creases down t h e line.
T h e r e is one simple step, h o w ever, t h a t c a n be t a k e u almost a t
once to increase t h e t a k e - h o m e
pay of city employees. To u n d e r s t a n d it, one should know how t h e
city's pension plans work. Because
it is t h e easiest to explain, let's
look at t h e t e a c h e r s ' pension p l a n .
T h e t e a c h e r s ' pension law p r o vides a m i n i m u m pension paid f o r
by t h e city of 25 per cent of t h e
average salary in consecutive five
y e a r s before
retirement.
The
t e a c h e r s also m a y
purchase,
t h r o u g h m o n t h l y payroll d e d u c tions, a n a n n u i t y to equal a n o t h e r
25 per cent of t h e salary.
T h i s would be fine u n d e r ordin a r y circumstances. B u t t h e t e a c h e r h a s to m a k e u p for t h e small
a m o u n t s paid in t h e early lowsalaried years by p a y i n g r e t r o a c tively when his salary rises.
W i t h pay increases in r e c e n t
y e a r s a n d with raises d u e to p r o motions, m a n y t e a c h e r s find 20 or
30 percent or even more deducted
f r o m t h e i r pay checks as t h e i r
.salaries go up. W h a t c a n a n d does
h a p p e n u n d e r t h i s system is t h a t
a raise o f t e n m e a n s less t a k e - h o m e
pay.
T h i s should h a v e been b a d
e n o u g h . B u t in 1951 t h e law was
a m e n d e d to have t h e city pay
t e a c h e r s a pension of 1 percent of
I
Citizens Commlltee
t h e average of five years of s e r vice, w h e n a t e a c h e r becomes
eligible for r e t i r e m e n t .
T h e r e was a gimmick in t h i s
law. I t provided t h a t a t e a c h e r
could h a v e this larger pen.sion only
if h e increased his a n n u i t y p a y m e n t s to t h e s a m e e x t e n t — so
t h a t t h e a n n u i t y aLso would be 35
per cent instead of 25 per cent.
T h e option was to refu.se to sign
u p for t h e plan a n d lose t h e opp o r t u n i t y for a larger city pension.
Some t e a c h e r s , who h a d to i n crease their a n n u i t y p a y m e n t s for
as m u c h as 20 or 30 years r e t r o actively, f o u n d t h e y could draw n o
s a l a r y at all for as m u c h as a year
in order to m a k e u p t h e increase.
T h i s law was called t h e Clancy
Law. T h e r e was anotlier Clancy
Law, for city employees who b e long to t h e New York City E m ployees R e t i r e m e n t System, so all
were a f f e c t e d in t h e s a m e way. T h e
gimmick a n d t h e r e s u l t a n t h a r d ships a r e not limited to t e a c h e r s ,
b u t apply also to clerks, inspectors,
engineers, a u t o - e n g i n e m e n , s t e n o g r a p h e r s a n d laborers.
W h a t I propose is t h a t we m u s t
discard t h e provisions of t h e two
Clancy Laws which require t e a c h ers a n d city employees t o m a t c h
t h e city's c o n t r i b u t i o n s to p e n sions. "Tlus will enable every city
employee to get t h e full 35 per
cent pension a n d decide for h i m self how big a n a n n u i t y h e w a n t s
to a d d to t h i s pension.
. City employees would be p e r m i t t e d t o reduce t h e i r m o n t h l y
contributions t o t h e scale t h e y
paid before t h e Clancy Law went
i n t o effect.
T h i s will have t h e effect of a
s u b s t a n t i a l salary nicrease. I t will
provide more t a k e - h o m e pay, a n
i m p o r t a n t f a c t o r in t i m e of o u t rageous price increases, a n d w i t h out increasing t h e employee's i n come tax.
I t will enable city employees t o
h a v e t h e necessities of life while
a new city a d m i n i s t r a t i o n .seeks
a n d finds t h e m e a n s to raise city
salaries.
Some savings to t h e city would
result f r o m t h i s plan. Using t e a c h ers a s a n example again, t h e a v e r age salary of t e a c h e r s a t r e t i r e m e n t is f r o m $6,000 t o $6.B00 a n nually. A larger pension would e n courage earlier r e t i r e m e n t s . Tlie
saving is obvious w h e n a $6,000
t e a c h e r is replaced by a y o u n g e r
one at $3,600. I n addition, t h e city
would save some h u n d r e d s of t h o u s a n d s of dollars in interest t h a t it
will not have to pay because a n n u i t y contributions will be smaller.
W i t h o u t c o u n t i n g t h e savings,
t h i s p l a n would cost t h e city a n
e s t i m a t e d $5,000,000 a year f o r
t h e teachers, a n d $8,000,000 f o r
o t h e r city employees — a small
a m o u n t when m e a s u r e d a g a i n s t
t h e dividends in improved m o r a l e
a n d b e t t e r h u m a n relations,
I also propose on J u l y 1, 1954,
t h e beginning of t h e first full b u d get year of m y a d m i n i s t r a t i o n , t o
install t h e Meyer salary schedule
for teachers. At t h a t time it will
cost $1,250,000 to do .so. I t s effect
will be 'way out of proportion t o
t h e total a m o u n t ow money i n volved. F o r example, a t e a c h e r
h a v i n g 8 years i n service will be
receiving a n increase of $^97 over
existing salary schedules. A t e a c h -
HALLEY
er with 12 years of service will get
a n increase of $495. While t h e
Meyer schedule does npt a f f e c t t h e
initial or final salary of t e a c h e r s ,
it does a d j u s t t h e a n n u a l i n c r e m e n t s into m e a n i n g f u l schedules
t h a t will give a sub.stantial pay
increase to most of t h e t e a c h e r s
who are not already a t m a x i m u m .
TJiese p l a n s a r e only a small
p a r t of a wide a n d overall p r o p r a m to improve t h e working c o n ditions a n d morale of all our city
employees.
An idea of t h e grim need f o r
Improvement c a n be gained f r o m
t h e f a c t t h a t 40,000 city employees
t a k e h o m e leSs t h a n $50 a week
a n d 90 per cent t a k e h o m e $80 a
week or less. Mo.st of these people
h a v e to s u p p o r t families.
Small wonder t h e city employee
envies t h e t r u c k driver.
New York City's employees can
a n d m u s t h a v e increased salaries
a n d improved working conditions.
I h a v e given t h i s problem long
a n d serious t h o u g h t a n d have
evolved a positive p r o g r a m
to
which I pledge myself.
I n my b u d g e t analysis last
spring I showed t h a t by increased
efficiency in city d e p a r t m e n t s ,
w i t h o u t p a y cuts or firings, we
could save f r o m 25 to 30 million
dollars.
T h e s e savings will be usetf to pay
s a l a r y increases to city employees.

employees a living wage.
T h e s e are positive steps a n d will

T h e r e is a t h i r d possibility — a n d
t h i s I call "if money."
W e m u s t h a v e more s t a t e aid to
provide t h e services to which t h e
citizens of New Yoi'k City are e n titled a n d I shall fight Governor
Dewey a n d his dirty political m a chine until New York City gets a
s q u a r e deal f r o m t h e Legislature.
Tliis is one b a t t l e I a m longing to
get going.
S a l a r y increases alone, however,
will not enable New York City to
compete with private i n d u s t r y for
t h e best t a l e n t s t o r u n our governm e n t a n d will n o t m a k e t h e cily
worker give his best to t h e job.
I have, t h e r e f o r e , decided on a
specific p o i n t - b y - p o i n t p r o g r a m t o
r e m e d y this situation. Some of t h e
points are s e l f - e x p l a n a t o r y , o t h e r s
will be d e t a i l e d :
•
1. A five-day, f o r t y - h o u r week
for all city employees.
2. Equal pay for equal work. T a ' o
city employees should not work
Bide by side a t d i f f e r i n g m a x i m u m
salaries.
3. I m m e d i a t e installation of a
c a r e e r - s a l a r y plan. T h i s p l a n h a s
been kicked a r o u n d f o r five years
without a n y reason. We m u s t h a v e
a Classification B o a r d to study j o b
duties, set u p job r e q u i r e m e n t s ,
establish proper salaries a n d a c t
whenever necessary to bring wages
a n d duties into line. Every e m ployee m u s t have t h e right to b r i n g
his case before B o a r d if h e feels
his title is out of line with his
for the Election of Ilalley—Caimdo—Mellen—
duties or h i s salary o u t of line
with his title. D e a d - e n d jobs mu.^t
be remedied a n d employees given
t h e o p p o r t u n i t y to a d v a n c e in a
t r u e career service.
4. M a n d a t o r y i n c r e m e n t s
to
m a x i m u m grade. T h e city should
a d a p t t o its needs t h e s t a t e law
which gives s t a t e employees a n n u a l i n c r e m e n t s in all pay ranges.
T h i s would do away with t h e p r e s e n t vicious system whereby i n c r e m e n t s come a t t h e suggestion of
T a m m a n y district leaders t h r o u g h
t h e Mayor's p a t r o n a g e dispenser.
We m i g h t note t h a t Louis Cohen,
who filled t h i s dii'ty job for M a y o r
O'Dwyer, is a t p r e s e n t associated
with t h e c a m p a i g n of R o b e r t W a g ner, as are t h e district leaders who
evolved a n d who p e r p e t u a t e t h i s
system.
5. A s t r o n g Civil Service C o m tor. Most of t h e r e f o r m s I p r o pose will be ineffective unless we
establish a D e p a r t m e n t of P e r s o n nel A d m i n i s t r a t i o n u n d e r a n o n political Civil Service Commission.
6. U n i f o r m lime a n d leave rules.
Now each d e p a r t m e n t still h a s its
ov/n rules a n d regulations, typical
of t h e city's crazy-quilt a p p r o a c h .
7. E l i m i n a t i o n of o u t - o f - t i t l e
v/ork. T h i s is a m e t h o d by which
t h e city c h e a t s employees, f o r c i n g
t h e m to assume responsibilities
a n d duties of jobs with h i g h e r
titles, but not giving tliem t h e
h i g h e r pay. Fire d e p a r t m e n t officers have gone to court to b r e a k
this vicious j^^ystem. No court a c tion will be necessary u n d e r my
administration.
8. Quicker a c t i o n on r e t i r e m e n t
a n d back pay checks. I t now takes
a n y w h e r e f r o m six m o n t h s to a
year before a retired city employee
begins drawing his check/3. I n e f f i ciency is t h e only i t a s o n for t h i s
hardship.
9. A Labor R e l a t i o n s Act for city
employees. City employees are e n titled to have collective b a r g a i n ing privileges a n d grievance m a chinery to replace t h e p r e s e n t
setup, which is based on w h i m ,
bluster a n d w h o m - y o u - k n o w .
T h i s is t h e essence of my p r o g r a m to improve wages a n d working conditions for city employees.
Implicit in every point is t h a t
city employees m u s t not be at t h e
m e i c y of politicians.
I m a k e t h e f u r t h e r pledgee t h a t
u n d e r m y a d m i n i s t r a t i o n no city
employee will be compelled to buy
tickets for political h a c k s or t h e i r
racketeering f r i e n d s or to d o n a t e
to political club j o u r n a l s in order
to get a promotion.
Political p a r a s i t e s c a n a n d m u s t
be prevented f r o m sucking money
f r o m decent, honest employees.
T h e employees m u s t be secure in
t h e knowledgee t h a t merit will be
t h e only basis for promotion a n d
pay raises, a n d t h a t suggestions
for improved efficiency will bring
r e w a r d s a n d not t h r e a t s .
T o a grqat e x t e n t , good g o v e r n ment depends cn the day-to-day
o p e r a t i o n of t h e city by its civil
service employees. Good governm e n t c a n be b r o u g h t a b o u t by a
m o d e r n system of m a n a g e m e n t
with business-like coordination of
departments and honest and h u m a n t r e a t m e n t of t h e people who
operate t h a t g o v e r n m e n t .
