t Tfca Stcrtoamtm, Salem, Oroqon, Friday. March 21. 1952 Service Cut Proposed to Provide Raise Reducing state services is one way in which to finance wage in creases lor state employes, Forrest Stewart, executive secretary for the Oregon State Employes Asso ciation, said Thursday. In a letter to James M. Clinton, director of the Oregon State Civil Service Commission, Stewart said tisat services or agencies which are found to be non-essential or those benefitting only small groups of citizens should be eliminated. Purpose of the letter was to urge tno civil service commission , to place before the State Board of Control a proposed salary and vage increase for state workers. The original request for the salary boost was made to the commission last December, but to date has not bt"n acted upon. Stewart said there are thou sands of state workers who have not received any salary adjust ment for two years He said the cost of food in this area has gone , upU per cent since the last salary adjustment. He said many trained workers are leaving state employ- ment for better-paying private in- j d Thfemployes association is seek- lag a raise which would boost each worker upward, two steps in his ' .u ii ; aifwi i Stewart estimated that about I one-half of the state's 12.000 civil service employes are in the Clerk I and Clerk II classifications n-hich start out at $163 and $201 per month respectively. if the pay increases were ed those in Clerk I ratings S3; start at $177. and Clerk II (clerk-! typist) would begin at a wage scale of $219. Another example includes state employment office deputies, who would be boosted from $239 to $261, if the proposal were granted. Stewart stressed that while new etate buildings and new equip ment are welcomed it takes train ed people to conduct the state's business efficiently. "Any further delay in bringing the state's pay schedule and work ing conditions up equal to those of private enterprise in Oregon can only result in failure on the part of the state to meet its obli gat&ons to state charges and to fulfill the responsibilities,-imposed by law," he said.
