Highest Court to Decide
Whether Joining Union
Can Cost You Your Job
W A S H I N G T O N , Nov. 19 - The
constitutional question whether a
state may prohibit any of Its employees from becoming or remaining members of a labor union, on
penalty of loss of job, Is now before the United States Supreme
Court. A petition by the Government and Civic Employees Organizing Committee, formerly CIO,

Already locals throughout the
state are being urged by their
International organizations to do
eve.ything possible to get the resol' ' i n ratified or ..dopted, whereever it comes up for consideration,

one of the those Internationals.
The Teamsters and the Building

With all due modesty, William Helstein, post office clerk, accepts an honorary recognition
certificate and incidentally a check for S275, for an idea that eliminated an unnecessary
operation in handling the mails. Aquiline F. Weierich, Assistant Postmaster, makes the presentation before a throng of Mr. Helstein's fellow-employees in the outgoing mails section
of the New York general post office.
The post office regional office approved awards
to five employees under the suggestion program.
Mr. Helstein received his honor and reward
for proposing that the letters " N " and " S " be
painted on separation boxes of third class flat
cases, and that the racks used for distribution
of third class "flats" be retitled to coincide with
North and South dispatching platforms. Painting
the " N " and " S " on the cases eliminates a second
handling of the mall and simpllfles the handling
process. The retitllng eliminated the need for
scheme knowledge for proper dispatch. A 'scheme"

between 7:45 and 8:15 A.M., the peak load period.
Previously carriers leaving the office on trips had
to use the same elevators as other employees and
often had to let several crowded elevators go by,
for lack of room. The special elevator, said Postmaster Robert H. Schaffer, has enabled carriers
to maintain delivery schedules and has raised
employee morale.

employees concerned, and their
representatives, will be modest. It
Is understood,!
T h e employee groups were pretty well satisfied with the end results. They were keen about the
retroactive provision.
Statement by Feinstein
Mr. Feinstein said that his union's main concern was the retroactive provision.
" F r o m the beginning we insisted that decisions on appeals
should be made retroactive to
January 1, 1956," he said. " T h e
arguments in favor of the proposal were strong, and it is to the
credit of Mayor Wagner, Commissioner Seitel, Personnel Director
Schechter and other city ofllcials
that
the readily
agreed.
In
other ways, also, results turned
out satisfactory to our union.
" N o w that the stage is all set,
we look forward for an early cue
that will enable us to get going.'
Mr. Diana pointed out that
since the reclassification appeals
will deal with titles made effective
Jan. 1 last, it v/as only simple
justice
that
any
upgrading
through retitling should be made
retroactive to that date. He pointed out that, in the case of appeals
to the Salary Board — which
deal with upgrading of the same
title, no title change — the situation is different. I n that case, he
said, appeals may search the record as 'ar back as July 1, 1954,
and while the effective date of
present upgradings would fall on
the following January 1 or July
1, whichever came sooner, following decision on appeal, the
Board of Estimate by resolution
reserved the right to set a prior
effective date, if circumstances
warranted.

Requirements Raised
Tlie New York City Transit
Patrolmen's Benevolent Association asked the Personnel Department to issue the same requirements for Transit patrolmen as
for Police Department patrolmen.

Martin and James Rooney, president and vice president, respective y, asked for these requirement'-: liigh school or equivalency
diploma, similar medical and physical requirements, - reduction of
age maximum from 32 to 29, and
less liberal age concessions to

T h e association also requested

The Variable Minimum Is No Answer
I n the past months there is accumulating evidence that the state
salary plan is proving inadequate f o r the purposes of recruitment.
More and more, because " i t is impracticable" to recruit at the first
steps of a salary grade, the State Civil Service Department is authorizing original appointments at steps higher than the minimum.
Appointments at the third year are not infrequent, and there
have been many instances where they have been made at the fourth
and even the f i f t h step. Durng the past 60 days, for example, there
have been some 15 instances where this authorization has been granted one permits an original appointment at the .second step, 11 at the
third step and three at the fifth.
T h i s process has been going on for .some time.
T h e New York City Personnel
Department expects to i.ssue eligible lists for Sanitation Department
foreman and assistant foreman in
time for Christmas promotions.
Computing of record and seniority are scheduled to be finished
this week. These mu.st be averaged
with written test scores to compute the final standing of 3,156

Same for All in Cases
Inyolving Hatch Act
W A S H I N G T O N , Nov. 19 — F e d eral employees charged with engaging In political activity In violation of the Hatch Act will have
the benefit of removal procedures
comparable to these speclfled by
Section 14 of the Veterans" P r e f erence Act, the U.S. Civil Service
Commission announced.
T h e Commission changed Its
p r o c 'ure to conform with a recent court ruling that a veteran
charged with violation of
the
H a t c h Act Is entitled to the procedural protection of the Veterans' Act.
T h e change makes the procedure uniform for veterans and
non-veterans.
T h e following additional protection Is Included for all:
1. An emplo.\fo must be given
«in advance notice of 30 days prior
to any adverse action.
2. An employet- has a right to
appeal an adverse decision to the
Commission and a hearing will be
held on his request rather than
at the discretion of the Commission.
3. At the hearing, both sides
will have an opportunity to produce and cross-examine witnesses.
4. Investigations made In connection with an alleged violation
will be made without pledge of
confidence.
Al.so, prior to any
hearing or thereafter, the charged
employee or his representative
will be permitted to examine the
investigative file.
T h e procedure still Includes, as
in the past, the requirement that
the proposed notice of adverse
action set forth the alleged polical activity specifically and In
detail, and that the employee be
given not less than 15 days from
the receipt of the notice to reply
to It m writing.

Annuitants, U.S. Commission Rules
W A S H I N G T O N , Nov. 19 — T h e
U.S. Civil Service Commission has
cleared up a dark section of the
Johnston Retirement Act. by ruling that an employee laid o f l under circumstances that
entitle
h i m to a pension has the same
rights as one retired for disability.
T h e act specifically provides
that If an employee retired for
disability returns to Federal service on recovering, pension checks
stop. H e draws his full new salary. W h e n he retires again his
salary and length of service are
recomputed, and he gets higher
pension checks than before. T h e
ruling holds that Congress intended to apply a similar formu
la to those who were laid off.

Devoted Employees
n the light that comes into Mental H y g i e n e Department institutions throughout the state does not come
f r o m electricity or the sun alone.
Some of it shines f r o m the generous spirits of departmental aides and attendants who put hearts as well
as hands to the job.
A t Hudson River State Hospital, The Leader discovered some heartwarming examples of employees to
whom a j o b is more than a source of salary.
For instance, new patients coming into a hospital
must give up all personal effects temporarily, including
cigarettes. A n y smoker will know the agony of being depi ived of tobacco and Hudson River aides are f u l l y a w a r e
of it, too.
So, out of their own pockets they frequently purchase cigarettes and give them to these new patients. F e w
words ai-e needed to tell what this can mean in the w a y
of comfort and a sign of friendship to a person entering
institutional life.
Another fine example of employee concern over their
chai-gcs has to do with a knowledge of color.
A
I'lease Select Your
On n Color
The Leader learned that j\Irs. Nellie Davis and some
of her colleagues f e l t that happy hues would make f o r
happier patients. Not only did they arrange to get paint
to re-do patients' bathrooms—they let the patients themselves decide on color schemes.
On the other side of the coin, many of these employees try to be of help to the department as well.
This paper learned, f o r instance, that employees at
Hudson River had developed a little line of patter to teach
patients not to waste electricity.
They teach the patient that each turned-out light can
mean a penny saved for the state and when that amount
is mutiplied by the saving in each institution an amount in
thousands of dollars is saved each year.
In innumerable ways, the Hudson River Hospital
emi)loyees and thousands of other j\Iental H y g i e n e Department employees throughout the state are doing their
part to make the mentally ill happier.
This devotion to service should not go unnoticed and
f o r tiiat reason T h e L e a d e r this week salutes the fine
men and women who work with their souls as well as
their hands.
Overtime Cutely Denied
r p H E way the Federal Employees P a y A c t of...l945,
A so f a r as it relates to work-weeks, has been applied,
the '10-hour week turns into an 80-hour t w o weeks. T h e
t w o would not ordinarily seem to be the same, since payment of overtime rates is at stake. T h e government saves
money by the interpretation, but employees are chagrined
that they are not paid overtime rates even f o r working on
a Saturday or Sunday during a 10-consecutive-day working period.
In private industry, and in nearly all public jurisdictions, the five-day, '10-hour week means what it says.
T h e U. S. Civil Service Commission is bound to follow the law, but also has certain powers of construing the
law.
Iloiv Coin mission I liter pre! s
T h e Connnission holds that employees working 10consecutive-day stretches are working a 40-hour w e e k .
They must got their t w o consecutive days off required by
statute, but by giving them two off at the beginning of
ITTT1
While no employee would have
Social Security forced on him, no
plan could be adopted unless the
m a j o r i t y of a pension group voted
f o r It, for only then could the
whole operation be on an actuarial
basis. A majority vote would assure a large actual acceptance.
Some Don't W a n t I t
Not all groups want Social Security. Policemen and firemen are
excluded by Federal law, at their
own request, though they could
be included on their own petition,
an unlikely prospect. New Y o r k
City teachers want no part of Social Security, either. Some postal
groups are opposed to it, though
some of their members say they
themselves favor it.
T h e reasons for opposition vary.
Policemen and firemen, with pension systems providing for h a l f pay retirement after 20 years'
service, no minimum age requirement, don't want to be in a system with an age-65 minimum. New
York City sanitationmen, seeking
a 20-year plan, with 75-25 contribution ratio, the smaller percentage paid by employee—the same
deal the policemen and
firemen
have—concentrate on that pension goal. T h e y fear Social Seurity would militate against their
principal aim, so want no part of
it, either. Teachers feel, among
other things, that they don't need
survivor Insurance, as their group
does not have to worry about
dependents to the extent that others do.

economic gymnastics to be a 40-hour week f o r each of
two weeks.
T h e Commission says that it is legal to work employees in stretches exceeding seven consecutive days. But
the question is whether overtime rates apply to the additional liours.
More Than a Mere Matter of Ratio
The Commission rules against overtime because the
normal days oft" are included in the 10-day span.
Two
consecutive days off" are indeed a prefix to the first week,
and the two others a suffix to the succeeding week. A s
four days off" in 14 is the same ratio as two off" in seven, the
mathematical niceties are satisfied, but the employees are
not.
The law should be amended to superimpose on the
rule of t w o consecutive days off" each work-week, a provision that overtime must be paid f o r any hours worked
beyond 40 during any consecutive five-day work week.

Objection to the Method
"However," Mr. King »ald, "we
do disagree with the method now
being used.
" A t the outset, and during the
many meetings held on the subject, U F A representatives Interposed many objections to the
tentative plan. W e made oui position clear that the check-off
should be granted without any
charge whatsoever to the unions.
Groups such as H I P pay no
charges.
"The
UFA
contended
that
bona-flde employee organizations
should not be made to pay, but
that If, as the Corporation Counsel's opinion states, though we emphatically disagree with him, a
charge had to be made, we were
willing to compromise on a token
charge of two cents a head. Despite our objections, and the
objections of
other
amployees
groups, the City saw fit to institute check-off with provision for
a charge, but leaving the amount
to be determined by experience.
Dilemma Depicted
"The U F A does not propose to
discontinue its present system,
and Instead have cards printed,
members
sign
up.
and
thus
subject Itself to a system that
begins operating on January 1.
still having to wait until March
or later to see how much It is
going to cost. If the cost Is regarded as exorbitant, do we go
back to our membership and tell
them we don't like It this wayT
Do we then again send out cards
to our members, asking them to
revoke their previous action? The
U F A would rather do business In
a responsible manner.

Departmental Doings
A series of events are taking place within our department which
will have a direct effect on the employees and patients of our hospitals and State schools.
A special committee meeting of the Mental Hygiene Employee.i
Association Is being held today with Commissioner Paul H. Hoch
and departmental representatives. Items on the agenda that will
receive considerable attention Include:
1. Promotion Series for the attendents
2. 40-hour work week for all employees with no loss in take-home
pay
3. 37'/i hour work week for clerical personnel
4. T h e launderers' appeal f o r re-allocation
Many of the Items that are to be discussed will depend largely
on the executive budget. This will be announced when the Governor
gives his budget message at the turn of the new year. Departmental
approval of these matters is paramount In our achieving these work
Improvements.

A n associate personnel administrator was recently appointed
at Kings Park State Hospital. This position will be studied carefully.
A major aim of this assignment is to relieve the medical administrator from considerable paper work and personnel duties.
This relief will enable the physicians to spend their time more
directly on medical problems and patient rehabilitation. Some of
the personnel director's duties will Include personnel problems, Interview of new applicants, grievances, training programs, promotions
and news letter to employees. This is a major step In the establishing of a greatly needed personnel service division In each local and
state agency and Institution.
