AN INSTITUTE for clergy was
held at Gowanda State Homeopathic Hospital, sponsored by the
Mental Health Commission, Cattaraugus and Chautauqua County
Tuberculosis and Public Health
Associations, and the hospital.
One hundred nine clergymen registered from Allegany, Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and southern
Erie counties.
The program centered on pastoral counseling. After introductory remarks, the Rev. John J.
Neylon, Director Missionary x'^postolate, the Diocese of Buffalo, discussed the needs of the pastors
and the help they hoped to obtain
at the institute. Father Neylon, an
outstanding coun.selor, has had ten
year's experience.
Dr. S. Mouchley Small, professor
and head of the department of
psychiatry. University of Buffalo,
has been in Western New York
only a few years but is widely
known for his interest and work in
community psychiatry. He discussed the basic emotional needs
of people, and community psychiatry, stressing the need of
more psychiatric facilities and
adequate use of those already provided.
Rev. Harold Wilke, pastor, St.
Paul's Evangelical and Reformed
Church, Crystal Lake, 111., who was
trained in pastoral counseling at
the Menninger Clinic and served
several years of Winter Hospital,
Topeka, Kansas, discussed the role
of the pastor as a force for mental health and pastoral counseling
techniques. He drew from his rich
experience and gave the clergy
present much helpful advice.

NYC Bonus Covered In';

HE " e m e r g e n c y " cost-of-living bonus paid to NYC employees h a s been f r o z e n in as p a r t of base p a y . T h e
B o a r d of E s t i m a t e acted last T h u r s d a y , and t h e new
s c h e d u l e s will go into effect as of J a n u a r y 1. It is too bad
t h a t the action had to a w a i t t h e h e a t of a political camp a i g n ; b u t an i m p o r t a n t a d v a n c e h a s been accomplished,
a n d in this case " b e t t e r late t h a n n e v e r " holds good.
T h e idea of a s a l a r y c h o p p e d into two p a r t s is basically r e p u g n a n t . T h e practice creates a continuing anxiety
f o r employees and a t t h e same time constitutes a subtle
t h r e a t — t h e t h r e a t t h a t t h e bonus p a r t might easily be
removed.
In NYC, t h e employees also suffered a n o t h e r negative
a s p e c t of this a r r a n g e m e n t . No contributions w e r e paid
into t h e r e t i r e m e n t f u n d to r e p r e s e n t t h e bonus p a r t of
salary. This m e a n t t h a t t h e final r e t i r e m e n t p a y of employees didn't fairly I'epresent their t r u e earnings. The retired w o r k e r w a s tlius penalized f o r t h e rest of his life.
While all employees f a v o r t h e f r e e z e , they cannot be
expected to e n j o y one aspect of it — tlie reduction of

w a s oi-iginally base pay, t h e total usable p a y check is red u c e d . E v e r y b o d y knows t h a t all City salaries need raa d j u s t m e n t , b u t the next i m m e d i a t e step should obviously

IS T H E R E a minimum pension
law for New York State or NYC
employees? L. C.
Answer—Jt Is assumed t h a t by
"minimum pension" you m e a n t h a t
anybody who retires receives at
least a certain fixed minimum
amount. Last year, when a law
was passed to provide some aid for
pensioners whose allowances were
pittances, some confusion arose in
the public mind t h a t this g u a r a n teed a minimum pension. T h e a d ditional amount granted in these
cases is small, and rigid requirements must be met, before the
extra pension money is granted.
WHEN, In your
estimation,
would be the earliest to expect the
U. S. Civil Service Commission to
open the clerk exam for receipt
of applications? P. E.
Answer—Early next year. T h e
exam would open sooner, but
clerk-carrier exams for numerous
small post offices in New York
and New Jersey required immediate attention, and finding jobs for
displaced employees' h a s put a
heavy demand on the Commission's time.

T H E PROBLEMS are many, but not necessarily peculiar to th«

enticing Indian Summer weather
brought forth more t h a n the usual
number of softball playeis, who en«»aged in a game at a nearby field.
The hot sun soon melted some of
Harry Cohen's siu'plusage, permitting him to snare the hot grounders
t h a t were batted his way. Bert Hayden and Arthur Rush explored the
counti-yside searching for rare flora,
and Miike Porta shed his socks and
shoes to cool his tootles in the lake.
After these athletic feats, the group
ravenously feasted on the specialty
of the house, charcoal-grilled steaks
and hamburgers, "a la Julie Fell,"
garnished with cocktail frankfurters.

Bob Wagner has worked out the most comprehensive program
for New York City civil service employees in history.
Here it is! Read it in full! It means more money
in your pocket, better working conditions,
increased opportunities for you.
T am convinced present salary
r a t e s f o r New York Civil Service
workers are inadequate. The Mayor's M a n a g e m e n t Survey Committee found this to be so, and I fully
agree with their finding. To deal
comprehensively with t h e acute
problems of New York City Civil
Service workers, I propose the following:
1
Create immediately new pay
* schedules in line with t h e cost
of living indices, and in line with
pay f o r similar work in private
industry.
2
Last week I helped to f r e e z e
* the cost-of-living bonus, m a k ing it a p e r m a n e n t p a r t of salary.
Next s t e p : the city should m a k e
salary a d j u s t m e n t s »o t h a t there
will be no loss of take-home pay.
2
A definite pay plan should be
* set up to t a k e t h e place of the
hodge-podge system of pay increases now in existence.
A
Provisions should be m a d e f o r
* systematic annual increments
so t h a t a city employee's pay will
go up by several regular increases,
so long as he p e r f o r m s his task
\Nith diligence and competence.
He should not be left to the f a v o r
of his superiors f o r pay increases.
There should be set up a modern job classification, and this
should be put into effect immediately. I know t h a t nearly all em-
VOTft: F O K
DEMOaiATIC
ployee groups now w a n t this done.
The setting up of a proper job
classification would m a k e possible
the set-up of a modern wage struct u r e with logical promotional lines.
It should include the voluntary
check-ofl' of union dues f o r those
employees who request it. There
should not be any more hesitation
or delay about accomplishing this,

There should be set up a

W a g e Board to which any
ployee could appeal w h e n he
t h a t his salary was out of line

There have been grave abuses
* in connection with t h e administration of Section 220 of t h e
Labor Law, t h e so-called prevailing r a t e provision. I will do
everything in my power to see t h a t
public officials live up to the spirit
and intent of this law.
Q^ Our pension systems have had
careers much like Topsy—they
have just grown. They should be
re-examined with a view to equalization and uniformity.
I f a v o r the extension to t h e
other city services of the 25% employee and 75% city contributions
which have been given to the employees of the Police and Fire Departments.
^ ^ I believe in a clear-cut proce* dure f o r handling labor relations with the City's employees.
Such a procedure should apply uniformly to all city d e p a r t m e n t s and
agencies and should fix the broad
outlines f o r processing complaints.

The merit sj'^stem h a s been
t h e subject of m a n y a t t a c k s
in recent years. T h e r e are some
w h o believe it h a s outlived its usefulness and should be abolished. I
am not one of these. In my view,
we should strive to s t r e n g t h e n t h e
system, but at t h e same time m a k e
it conform to modern s t a n d a r d s
and a d j u s t it to t h e needs of a
streamlined era.
The answer lies in t h e adoption
of up-to-date personnel methods. I
shall bend all of my efforts as
Mayor to the achievement of maxim u m efficiency in government with
t h e least possible b u r d e a on t h e
tax-payer.
Throughout my political career,
I have not hesitated to call f o r action by t h e Board of Estimate, City
Council or other a p p r o p r i a t e bodies to meet t h e needs of our city
employees. I have f o u g h t f o r salary raises, the five-day week, liberal vacation and sick leave, and
other benefits. This is all a m a t t e r
of record, established long before
my present candidacy. I intend to
keep on fighting for these thing*
becauce I believe in them.
