have the same men next year and another

NEW YORK, Oct among the men
discharged from the Brooklyn navy yard
last spring on account of the apprOpria
ton running ont were seven veteran sol
diers. The Nete ans Rights union took
the matter up and asked Secretary Whit
ney if he would not construe the law so
that, other things equal, eX-soldiers and
sailors should have preference in the mat
ter of being retained so long as any force
at all was employed. Secretary Whitney
has replied that he will cause preference
to be given ut all times to honorably dis
charged soldiers and sailors either for APP
pointment on retention in office, if equally
competent and deserving. The efforts of
the G.. A. Il. to maintain in this way the
premium on patriotism are commendable
and will have his hearCy cooperation,
Upon this letter being shown to the com
mander Of the yard the several veterans
were at once reinstated in their positions.
