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.

ciety met at the YMCA Thursday
