CITY ADOPTS SET OF EMPLOYE RULES | (Continued From Page One) val by the Citv Manager: ’ unused ' I portions of leave will expire at the close of the next succeeding fiscal year, except in unusual ca ses: employes voluntarily separat ed from service will be entitled to compensation for unused portions of their leave. Sick Leave Any of the unused sick leave (one calendar day for each month of service) may be accumulated from one fiscal year to the next to a maximum of 60 days carry ing full pay. After 60 days have been accumulated, an employe in; service less than 10 years may continue to accumulate an addi tional 60 days, for which he will be paid 50 per cent of his salary; after 10 years of service, he is en titled to accumulate sick leave, ' with full pay up to 120 days. After j employes have been with the city; 20 years, they may begin to ac cumulate an additional 20 days’ sick-leave at half-pay. In order to put the matter of leave on a definite basis, the ser vice record of each present em ploye- up to July 1, 1943, will be compiled, and the amount of sick leave which would have been j accumulated without sickness de termined. This amount will be di- j vided in half. Leaves oi aosenue wiuiuut : may be granted by the depart-j ment heads with the approval of the City Manager, for a period not: to exceed one year. Full-time, regular employes in ducted into the armed forces may expect to return to their jobs within a 60-day period following honorable discharge, providing the positions still exist, and they are otherwise qualified. Absence from work without leave gives the department head the right to declare the position vacant, unless the absence is sat isfactorily explained. In case of death, or serious ill ness in the immediate family, reg ular employes may be granted leave of absence with pay for a period not to exceed three days. System Of Reports The City Manager will install a system whereby department heads will report semi-annually on the performance of all employes. The reports will be carefully maintained under his supervision, and will serve as a guide in the matter of promotions, demotions, salary increases or decreases, sep arations from the service and other personnel status changes where such ratings will prove per tinent and of value in making in telligent and fair decisions. De velopment of the report form is said to be in process at the pres ent time. Promotions from one class or position to a higher class are to be made by department heads, subject to the City Manager's ap proval. Service ratings, along with seniority and other qualifying fac tors, shall determine an employe’s merit for promotion. The city government intends, where desirable, to transfer em ployes permanently or temporarily from one department to another where such transfers will result in more effective work and will lessen the necessity for making temporary appointments to handle peak departmental loads. Demotions, as a penalty for dis ciplinary purposes, may be made oy department heads, subject to the approval of the City Mana ger. The same applies to suspen sions, and dismissals. A regular, full-time employe shall receive a seven-day notice of dismissal, or shall be paid for one week’s work if separated at the time of notice of dismissal, provided he has been employed by the city for one con secutive year or more. Reduction In Employes When it is necessary to reduce the number of employes on the city pay roll, because of lack of works or funds, the City Mana ger, conferring with department heads, will undertake thorough in vestigation of the problem. In determining the employes to be affected, the service ratings, and length of service to the city, will be considered. Quoting directly, “City employes are neither appointed to, nor re tained in, the service upon the basis of their political activities. In return, while city employes may exercise their right of suff rage as citizens and engage in normal political activities, it is deemed for the best interest of the municipal government that they do not participate in muni cipal election campaigns. This applies whether an employe is on or off duty.” The City Manager will welcome suggestions from department heads and employes for improv ing the personnel system. Excep tions to the rules may be made at the discretion of the City Manager in cases involving exceptional cir cumstances. Police department, fire depart ment, and city-county employes remain subject to the action of their respective civil service com missions. According to Mr. Nichols, there are at present 91 persons whose tenure of service with the city exceeds 10 years. One employe has worked for the city continu ously for 36 years. In connection with initiation of the new program, central person nel files and records are to be established that will include com plete information on every city employe. Maintenance of the files, and details concerning the han dling of personnel and ratings data will be in charge of Fred Rippy, of the city staff. -V Of the 308 battles and engage ments of the Revolutionary War, 92 took place on the soil of New York state.

Some brotherhood leaders call ed the 4 cent decision an “insult,” The brotherhood chairmen plan to meet in Chicago Oct. 22 to de cide what to do about it. Vinson, in a formal report to day said he would “not disap prove the recommendation of a four-cent raise for the operating brotherhoods, to take effect Oct. 2fi. If the new emergency board fol lows the pattern set by Vinson in the operating brotherhoods case, the higher paid men of the non operating workers—such as ma chinists—could not expect to get substantially more than a four cent increase. Lower-paid “non op” workers, however, might get more, under the government’s provisions allowing increases where wages actually are sub standard. ._17 ARGENTINE CHIEF HITS ‘TAMPERING’ (Continued From Page One) problems of inherent nationality must be solved by the master’s house instead of by guests, what ever rights they may invoke. “Many of the signers are, be sides. connected with the extreme left as proved by their anti-social, anti-Argentine backgrounds docu mented by official records prior to the revolution.
