Vets Job Prospects
Continued on Page D
By Peter Edson

American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars have been trying to get test case before the courts for clearcut decision It has been hard because no employer has been willing to set himself up as the "bogeyman" who wouldn't give veteran his Joo back.
 Skipping back at the unions for their stand on new jobs for vets Rep Harold Knutson (R, Minn) has introduced vFW bill which would make 1t for jobs It goes even further For the five days of each week in service 1t would give the man five days seniority. For the sixth day 1t would give man day and one-half and for the seventh day House Military Affairs Committee
 Employers are strong for giving the veterans rights for new jobs. although 1t is doubtful if they would want to go as far as the Knutson Bill ten the payroll. The cream of the nations man. power has been in uniform. It's dollar and cen1 value to manufacturers and employers to grab these men.
 Naturally these employers would like a free hand in placing the best available men and rest producers in each job but they are treading carefully so as not to further strain relations with the unions.
 The auto industry, in the tight grip of the GIG United Automobile Workers union, will be the hardest for the veteran who hasn't had job be- fore to get into. The strength of the JAW would be threatened if they weren't able to offer some guarantee of postwar job to the thousands who be- came new members because of their war jobs Re- suit is the JAW exclusion of veterans from conpe- tition Their argument is that seniority S prop erty right belonging to the workmen who now nave the jobs.
 This whole problem of course, only applies to provide about one-quarter of all employment ana that about one-quarter of all the veterans will try to get jobs in industry.
 After the whole thing gets mashed over by in: there must be full employment. But that is goal toward which little progress has been made
