headlines. or that current problems will be solved
by changing circumstances. More SerlouS-mlndeo
more realistic than we were last spring, we are
beginning to come to grips WIN Ihihgs ae tley
are And among the questions which labor, among
other groups, is now working to solve is that OF
reconverslon-not of machines, but OF men,
The rehabilitation period will not be an easy
time for either servicemen or war workers.. Al
though reemployment is the fundamental problem
in both cases it is obvious that there are separate
and distinct veterans problems, involving not only
employment but physical and mental rehablllta-
ton. And because these are specialized problems,
it is felt that the case OF the veteran calls loi
priority consideration and treatment.
In the last few months, AtL unions, Central
Labor bodies and local Labor League for Human
Rights Committees all over the country nave peen
aiding in the establishment OF Veterans Referral
Centers by local Councils OF Social Agencies Such
bureaus are designed to coordinate the work OF
the many agencies, both public and private, now
in existence for the purpose OF helping the veteran
to readjust himself to civilian lie. lhey are SET
up also to provide central place where the
individual veteran can seek the solution TO every
aspect of his problem.
Because these Referral Centers are relative
w new development it is only natural that the
part organized labor has played In their eSIap-
lishment thus far should have been largely ad-
ViSory. In many cases, however, Ihe ar anu oi
regional offices of the Labor League Tor human
Rights, have taken the initiative in planning sucn
centers and in ST. Paul, Minnesota, Veterans
Rehabilitation Committee set up by the Building
and Construction Trades Council has been active
ly at work for almost year. Veterans interested
in getting jobs in any of the building trades are
referred to this Committee, which lnstructs them
upon procedure and guides them through all OF
the necessary steps
1t is an encouraging sign, especially for those
who fear that the attitude of the demoblllzed
soldier will be anti-labor, that 'the counsel and
assistance of organized labor is not only welcomed
but sought wherever Veterans Referral Centers
are established With organized labor represented
on the governing boards of these bureaus, and
actively cooperating in their work, Veterans Re-
ferral Centers should prove to be of immense
value, not only in aiding the serviceman to find
himself economically, but in lessening the gulf
between the veterans Of the war front and the
veterans of the home front.

LESSON NOT LEARNED

JUDGING by the military services support OF
. the May "work-or-fght" bill, they have not
taken to heart lesson they were supposed to
have learned years ago. Then, after finding that
too many of the older men were in hospitals and
were not fitted for active military service, the
Army ordered the discharge of most men over 38
Not all were let out and some are still in the
service, leading to bitter resentment on the part
of their families, reflected even at this date by
letters to the newspapers
But now Seective Service, the War and Navy
Departments are backing the May bill, which pro-
vdes for the induction into special service units
of all men between 18 and 45 (note that 45) who
give up or refuse to take essential war work. This
law would force some men into war work, which
is its objective, but others would land in the Army
and Navy, to add to overcrowding in the service
hospitals, slow down Army and Navy training,
pile up taxpayers burdens and cause all sorts of
trouble.
In February, 1913, International Labor News
Service and this paper said: Results of service
of men of 38 and beyond has shown that in many
cases they are not physically fitted for the rigors
of Army life as enlisted men. Too large proper
ton of them have landed in hospitals, the
Army should have known would be the case. Many
have been almost, if not quite total liability to
the Army.
Generally speaking the older men, especially
those in their 40s, would have been of far more
service to their country if left at their jobs pay
ing income and other taxes, buying war bonds,
helping in civilian defense aiding in other ways"
What was said in the foregoing applies with
equal or more force now to taking men from 3S
to 45 for service in the armed forces d.

IMPORTED RAILROAD WORKERS
CRITICIZE PAY IN u. S.

New York City (LNS). - The
Puerto Rico Commerce and Industry
Association, of 225 Broadway, is in
vestigating complaints by Puerto
Rican workers brought to this coun-
try by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.
The employees charge that wage and
working conditions are at variance
with agreements. Several hundred OF
the 5000 workers involved are en-
ployed in this city.
Louis Ramirez Brau, head of the
association, said the men were to be
paid SO cents an hour for an 8-hour
day, but that their actual earnings
were only $1.3S a day because of de-
ductions for food and clothing, medi-
cal care, transportation, withholding
tax and 25 per cent for their de-
pendents at home.
Donald l.. Stevens, an executive Of
the railroad in Baltimore, indicated
that the deductions complained of
were in accordance with the contract
accepted by the men. He said various
deductions were made at the insist
ence of the Puerto Rican Government.

URGENT JOB FOR LABOR

IT Is THE task Of organized labor to see that
everyone who can work answers the call for wal
workers. Tell them to apply to their union office
or to the u. S. Employment Service. Tell them to
register at once-not tomorrow or day after, but
today. Not to wait till they hear of shortage
but to register so they can be called-that is the
service asked of everyone.
Speaking of the boys on the battle front, Gen
Somerve told the Mead Committee: mo one SC
far has suffered from lack of.suppes i. :. (the
boys at the 'front.' have had everything that they
could possibly move to the front" But there is
every reason for expecting shortage at the front
unless the manpower deficiencies are met"
This means just one thing: Failure to work
where YOU are most needed in war industry
will mean loss of life for our boys at the front
We cannot let them down.-Labor's Monthly Sur
