How About Xmas?

Mrs. Celeste Lewis, who just returned from a trip to the mainland, started working at Wodlinger's drug store last Frl- day and ln doing so got a bad break on the Sunday-Labor day double holiday. On the Fourth of July 1t was agreed that Bert's drug store would stay open two days while Wodlinger's closed and this week Wodlinger's stay ed open two days and Bert's closed. Mrs. Lewis was working at Bert's on the Fourth, so by moving to the other store she lost out all around on getting two days off.

Frank Marshall Aids In Dispute

Frank Marshall, former Kodi- ak resident, and now field re- presentative of the American Federation of Labor, visited in Fairbanks from Juneau in con- nection with the recent culinary dispute there.
 The appeal of the workers is now before the Wage Stabiliza- ton board. The stabilization law was set up to stop increases in wages to prevent imitation, and wages are figured on the basis of Oct. 1922. Wages can be increased if it is proved cost of living advanced.
 Marshall said that since the stabilization law has not been enforced it is unfair now to roll back wages without relief and if the cut-back is maintained that it should affect all workers and not merely those in restaurants.

INDUSTRIAL leaders of the coun-
l. try, who will have the major re
sponsibility for employment of
millions of returning veterans after
the war, are seriously concerned
about one phase of the problem that
has had little public discussion.
It is phase that has grave sig
nifcance for several million veterans.
AS the American people well
know, legislation approved by Con-
gress at the time inductions into the
armed forces under the Selective
Service Act were begun, made pro
visions for the return of such men to
their previous employment without
loss of seniority or other rights.
The purpose of this legislation
was to make it possible for the vet
efan to return to the job he had be-
fore the warm other words, to pick
up his civilian life where he left off.
That is well enough for the vet
eran who HAD job before the war.
But the fact that is disturbing in
dustrial leaders is that millions of
young men have entered the armed
forces without previous civilian en-
ployment.
OBVIOUSLY, unless some formula
~ is worked out, these younger vet
Grams are going to center civilian
life at a distinct disadvantage-in
relation to other veterans and other
workers who have stayed in civilian
employment throughout the war.
Seeking a FIRST job after the
war will be vastly different propo-
sition from returning to an old job
with all rights intact.
Industrial leaders are wondering
if these younger veterans are to be
"the forgotten" men of the postwar
period.
They are sure the nation does not
want such a situation to develop.
They are very sure it would not
be FAIR situation.
The problem has been made in
creasingly serious by the length of
the war.
Since most of the younger vet
Grams not previously employed went
directly into the armed forces from

THIS is the concluding article in series of four
