new one. The bill adds that the
veteran must be qualified" to hold
the job.
The word qualified" has caused
a third veterans organization. The
Disabled American Veterans, to shy
away from the bill. Willard w.
Rice, its national service director
told a reporter:
"The law is too ambiguous. What
does qualified mean? 1t would
give either an employer or a union
loophole if they didn't want q
veteran. They could say, He isn't
qualified And that would be that. y
i Here are two sample arguments
on the seniority issue:
Veterans-Suppose girl went
into a war plant. She worked seven
or eight mon his before VI Day. She
was laid off during RECEIVERS on,
but she still is on the seniority list.
And since a majority of the arm
ed forces had no regular jobs be
tore they were drafted, this girl
war worker would hold seniority,
and keep her job, ahead of any
veteran.
This doesn't seem at all fair to
u.s." James w. Cannon, general
counsel Of the Veterans of Foreign
Wars, said in an interview. "fUnder
our present setup, a veteran going
into an organized plant is hopeless.
" penalized.
He'll have hard time getting q
job, and he'll be the first to 60
when the cut comes. All we want
is something fair and equitable. We
want something that will give the
veteran an even break with the
man in an organized industry"
Labor - The idea that man
should be given seniority credit
for his military service when he
returns to his old job long has been
accepted by organized labor. Zone
exception: The. Railroad brother
hoods, which contend their senior
tty rules are too complex to be
nonkeyed With.
But labor balks at going further
and giving a veteran seniority in
ioh he never held before. Sum-
pose, it says, man goes to work
in a plant and spends four years
there. Another is drafted, spends
four years in the Army. No matter
