Many Who Served In Strike Zone
Face Loss Of Jobs

Sacrifices were made by many of the
members ol tho Michigan National
Guard who have been on duty in the
copper country for the last six weeks.
Many Of these sacrifices hit right hard
at the very homes Of the boys, who for
Si.2b day. have been doing the serv-
ice they swore To perform At enlist
ment. Yet those who return tn find
sence and perhaps jobs gone are still
loyal to the National Guard, says the
Grand Rapids Herald.
During the six weeks of service in
the copper country, the boys were paid
s125, clothed and fed. But the families
back home had hut small incomes. and
in some instances actual hardships
resulted. Col. Covell heard Of one SOL
der whose rent became overdue and
his landlord ordered the family out Of
the house. This action didn't get very
far as the state law was invoked. But
