No Delay Tolerable In NYC Pay Raises ' J ' H E $18,500,000 pay raise voted by the Board of EstiJ mate to the 33,000 operating employees of the Board of Transportation established the strongest kind of precedent for granting the pleas of all the other NYC employees for higher pay. The necessity of meeting the requests, in function, if not in degree, can not be sensibly denied. In fact. Mayor O'Dwyer has taken a forward step in appointing a committee to weigh the various requests, and recommend what unified course the City can follow. That the Mayor desires to award salary increases may be taken for granted, for he has consistently demonstrated not only a fair, but an enlightened labor policy. The transportation increases constitute a yardstick to which the City administration stands committed. The decreased purchasing power of the dollar requires that the salaries be increased to a degree equal to the reduction in real wages. It is not a question of whether at all, only of hoiv much. Prompt Raises Necessary The employees themselves have received beneficial treatment from the City. The relations between employer and employee are of the compionable type, the kind that makes for maximum morale. This has continued, despite the suffering of the workers, with backs forced against the economic wall by factors wholly beyond their control. Public employees are appreciative, they know who their friends are, they sense in such progressive measures as the recently-adopted health insurance plan, a warm interest by the City in their welfare, but there is a limit. The quality of service to the City is bound to drop, by the very laws of human nature, if financial worries over being able to feed and house one's family and one's self are to torment the minds and thus undermine the efficiency of employees. The lowest paid, the last to benefit, the public workers must not be asked to endure burdens beyond human strength. The committee studying the overall salary situation, on the broad scope that avoids danger and unfairness, must hasten its efforts. The moment is tense. The consequences ol" delay can become disastrous.

STARTED my early life with * medical people," says Mrs. Marie A. Owen, "so it seemed n a t u r a l t h a t I should become a nurse." A native of Buffalo, she received her early education in the western p a r t of the State a n d later was graduated f r o m the Presbyterian Hospital School of Nursing in Chicago. She has specialized in the industrial field of nuising. Her work h a s been mostly organizational and supervisory. She keeps a home and, when there is time for relaxation, enjoys k n i t ting, reading and s t a m p collecting. She also enjoys t h e theatre and sports. For the past 17 years shs h a s been associated with t h e Long Island S t a t e P a r k Commission as Supervising Nurse at Jones Beach State P a r k and h a s become deeply interested in t h e local chapter of the Civil Service Employees Association, Inc. At present, she is Secretary of t h e Long Island Parks Chapter. , Unity of Purpose Speaking of her Association activities, she says: "I a m a novice with m u c h to learn, but I feel a unity of purpose in serving not only the S t a t e employees, but t h e State as employer is t h e only way to solve t h e m a n y problems of both, and this is what t h e Association is doing by seeking good, sound legislation and by conferences with officials. J u s t now I am interested in bringing uu t h e membership in our chapter, because I realize t h a t the strength of the Association depends on t h e strength of each chapter. "I feel t h a t being a member of the Association is a privilege a n d t h a t this privilege should not be used as a license to gain any selfish personal end. We should work for the good of all. Cooperation between employer a n d employee. Honesty in our service to t h e people of the State should be our motto."

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 — Not all of the Federal war service appointees will have t h e opportunity of competing for their jobs a n a permanent basis during the fiscal year 1947. I n f a c t , It will take at least two years to complete the job of reconversion. I n the meantime some war service appointees will lose their jobs because of reduction in force War service appointees are vitally interested in knowing what s t a n d a r d s they will have to .Tieet when they take examinations All standards will be at least as high as those prevailing prior to t h e war, said the U. S. Civil Service Commission. In m a n y instances, they will be higher. There are some persons holding war service or temporary appointments who do not measure up to such standards, the Commission admits. Unless these persons can bring themselves to the place where they can meet such standards, they will not pass the ? x t t m inaiions. And if they do not pass the examinations, they do not, of course, have any chance of remaining in their jobs on a n indefinite basis, warned Commissioner Arthur S. Plemming.

OW that the New York State Employees' Merit Award

Board has been appointed, to reward unusual and meritorious suggestions and accomplishments of State employees with cash awards, salary increases, medals and certificates of merit, NYC and other cities of the State should inaugurate the same type of encouragement and recognition. Having originally proposed the creation by the State of such a Board, The LEADER now strongly urges that the NYC Council enact a local law to establish a similar Board and recommend that the Board of Estimate make an appropriation to finance the awards. The State did that by acts of the Legislature amending the civil service law and voting the Board a modest appropriation. The proposal t h a t NYC should follow suit is in line with having the metropolis a municipal example. MutualsetProfit It is foregone iliat the State itself will profit by its initiative, even moi'e than the employees rewarded, since improveil methods and procedures -are bound to result, and even greater personal efficiency by employees generally stimulated. This was the splendid experience of the Federal goveiiunent, whicii inaugurated a comparable plan during the war.

What Every State Employee Should Know Temporary Appointments Cannot Become ^ Permanent Without Passing of Examination

READER, referring to our column of October 15 dealing with classification under Sections 49 and 49-a of the Civil Sei-vice Law, h a s inquired whether the reclassification — without—examination provisions of Section 48-a sanctions the covering of tempor a r y war duration employees into p e r m a n e n t jobs. On t h e assumption t h a t other readers also may be interested in t h e possibility of war duration appointments becoming p e r m a n e n t without examination, a review of the subject m a y be in order. Cannot Become P e r m a n e n t I n the first place, it should be clearly understood t h a t no temporary appointment can m a t u r e into a p e r m a n e n t appointment by a mere lapse of time. A tempor a r y appointee has no tenure of office. He h a s no rights or status in his position t h a t cann»>t be t e r m i n a t e d by dismissal in t h e exercise of his appointing officer's discretion. Nor does t h e tempor a r y employee's veteran, status aid him. The courts have consistently held t h a t a temporary employee is not entitled t o the hearing on charges prior to removal accorded to " p e r m a n e n t " veterans. Legislative a t t e m p t s to "freeze in" temporary veterans have been held unconstitutional. By the same token, temporary employees occupying positions u n der n o n - s t a n d a r d titles t h a t are reclassified to s t a n d a r d titles under Section 48-a of t h e Civil Service Law do not thereby acquire the new titles on a p e r m a n e n t basis. At best they can continue therein on the same tempo'iary basis. Obsolete Provision Repealed One common source of confusion was the provision formerly contained in t h e Civil Service Law which prohibited the transfei to t h e competitive class of employees who did n o t have three years of previous service in the position involved. This provision, although a limitation on t h e right of such transfer, was often misconstiued as granting a n authorization for such a transfer. Viewed from NTROL C A R S .
