NEW Law Is PUZZuNG
Right of Old Soldiers to Off

Tested Soon
SEVERAL POSITIONS TO FILL
Among These Are the Two Very I'm
portant Places as Superintendent at
EIdora and Davenport = Labor Com
missioner Uncertain What to do With
Applications For Other Vacancies.
Special to Times-kepublican.

Des Moines, May 23.-The question
of the right of the old soldier to official
positions will have to come to a ties,
before many weeks. There are several
are available, and those who are In
authority are in doubt as to what is
their duty under the new Iowa law
That law undertakes to make it imper-
alive that where soldier desires ap-
pointment to a position or employment
in the service he has right to demand
soldiers. There are no exceptions not
ed. Just now there are two very i'm
portant places to be filled by the state
board of control-superintend at
Eldora and Davenport. In view of the
fact that the orphanage at Davenport
is primarily one for the children of SOL
diers and sailors. the board would nat
urally desire to select a soldier for the
position If one could be found who in
all other respects was desirable. But it
is difficult position and requires a
MldS ldileS VI lStlcii@ dIiQ ileiSSS. AS
for the other position, above all else,
an active young man is wanted, who
can lead family of 500 boys into in
dustry and skill. But If the law means
whct is says the board must pick SOL
diers for these places, II soldiers apply.
Then there is the appointment of n
state factory inspector, to be made by
the state labor commission and among
the thirty or forty applications for the
place are a number Of old soldiers and
the commissioner is a good deal puZ-
Zled to know just what his rights are.
He desires that the factory inspector
go to work the first Of next month.
While all these are important positions
it may be that it will be held the law
does not apply; yet in the larger num-
Der of places in the state institutions
and colleges, places filled by appoint
ment from the heads of these institu-
tons, there are many that the soldiers
can fill and will desire. and it will be a
good deal of a problem to know just
what to do in many cases.
