VETERANS AND UNIONS
 Washington Post)

Representative John Rankin has a scheme for union-busting which he fam cies will appeal to American service men. Our own guess is that they will readily see through it as plain piece of demagogy Under Mr. Rankin's leader ship, the House Veterans Committee has favorably reported an amendment to the "GI Bill of Rights which would exempt honorably discharged veterans from nor mai requirements of membership, initia- tion fees or dues payments in unionS where closed shop or union shop con- tracts are in force. It would be hard to contrive a measure more likely to drive a wedge between the men who have served their country in uniform and the men who have served it on the produc- tion lines at home.
 Most of our soldiers and sailors were civilians before the war began and will become civilians again when the war is over. Several million of them were and are members of labor unions. Most unions have adopted measures to keep them in good standing or to continue
The Nome nugget., 1945-09-10

their dues payments in their absence. Many unions have made provision vol untarily to waive initiation fees for non- union servicemen who want to join. They have established machinery to as- sist veterans in finding jobs. Situations in which former servicemen may be de- nied employment because of union regu- lations need thoughtful consideration, but certainly not the type of remedy MT. Rankin proposes.
 In any event, this is not peculiarly servicemen's problem. As we have ob- served before, membership in labor union ought to be available to any quai- flied worker. One of the desirable fea- lures of the Naturalization bill is that is would make this mandatory. But to treat the servicemen as a special case would be to aggravate the cleavage that already exists between him and the civ ilian worker when the aim of all men ot good will ought to be to heal that breach. Veterans need above all else to be brought back into normal relationship with our peacetime society. Mr. Rankin, as matter of fact, let the cat out of the bag and disclosed his real purpose when he said that his bill would allow veterans to take jobs vacated by strikers. What we need is not a means of fomenting in- dustrial disputes but means of adjusting them in a friendly spirit.
