Appeals Court
Decision Blasts
Super-Seniorify

New York-(FP).-I the first ap-
pellate court decision on veterans,
seniority rights, the U. S. circuit OF
appeals March 5 reversed a lower
court decision which maintained that
a World War ii veteran holds super
seniority over other workers.
The higher court decision, written
by Judge Learned Hand, declared IL
was not the intent of the selective SER
vice act to give veterans job priority
over all other workers, regardless OF
seniority. Hans opinion undercut the
super-seniority Interpretation OF the
act held by Selective Service CHIEF
Lewis b. Hershey and the Dept. OF
Justice, which filed a brief in sup
port of the complainant.
Suit was brought originally by
Abraham Fishgoul, welder, against
the Sullivan Drydock g. Repair Co., OF
BROOKLYN which under the terms OF
union contract laid Fishgold off tenn
porarily twice, favoring other welder5
with greater seniority.
A decision last August by Federal
Judge Matthew T. Azruzzo upholding
Fishgolds claim that he was entitled
to his Job for year was appealed by
Local l3, Industrial Union of Marine
& Shipbuilding Workers.
at seems to US beyond debate that
il was not intended that the veterans
should gain in seniority Hand wrote
Nothing that the selective service act
was adopted before the L. S. went to
war, he said:
at is not likely that q proposal
would have been accepted which gave
industrial priority, regardless OF their
length of employment, to unmarried
men-for the most part under 30
over men in their thirties, forties and
fifties, who had wives and children
dependent upon them"
IUMSWA international headquart-
ers in Camden, n. j., expressed Jublla-
tion at the court victory, declaring;
"We knew from the very inception OF
this case that the position of organized
labor opposing job preference for vet
Grams would be sustained under the
selective service act since it was clear
ly not the intent of Congress to estab-
lish such condition.
"At the same time, by this decision
the veterans will be saved from the
pitfalls Of super-seniority for they will
not be used as a special group by en-
ployers to be pitted against non-vet-
erans in order to smash labor agree
ments and therefore, the labor move
ment Organized labor does not
differentiate between veterans and
nom veterans. Both are It's own"
The union sent instructions to all
its locals to advise management that
it had no legal basis for super-senior-
ity and to demand reinstatement of all
workers who had been laid off under
that policy.

VETERANS SHUN
LOW PAID JOBS

Washington (FP)--Although over
40 per cent of all persons hired by
manufacturing industries in Decem-
ber were veterans, the ex-servicemen
are staying away from the four low
est paying groups, the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics reports.
The four industries are apparel, to-
bacco, textiles and. leather, BIS re-
ported. In each of the heavy indus
tries, veterans account for eight to
ten per cent of all employees. About
the same ratio applies in light indus
try except for the four groups
named.
The BIS report said that as ex-
pected during the transition period
veterans are quitting at faster rate
than non-veterans." While non-vet-
erans left in ratio Of 81 of every
1000 in December, the veteran rate
was 81. 1t pointed out that turnover
was always greater in recently hired
workers than in longer-service en-
ployees.

program.
Among the awards was one given
posthumously to John Locher, presi-
dent of the central body. His widow
received it. The awards were made
by Hugh Lynch, director of the Dis
trict Savings Bond Division of the
Treasury. Each of the Treasury
medal-lions for patriotic service is in
scribed with the recipients name.
"The Central Labor Body made an
outstanding contribution to the war
finance program" Lynch told members
at presentation ceremony. "Under
the leadership Of John Locher and
others high in the councils of this
group, the help you gave our commit
tee reflected an inspired patriotism
and devotion TO the war effort. To you
goes "A full share of the credit for the
records set by the District of Colum-
bia, including the highest per capita
+ bond sales among the 1S states"
Those awarded the medallion in
cluded Frank T. Fenton, AFL diree-
tor of organization; Fred S. Walker,

it's position in this regard "had been
made abundantly clear to the union" !"
With the union having complied
with the federal law by filming strike
notice on Mar. 2, the 100000 soft coal
miners would be able to walk out on
Mar. 81 if the conferences fail to re-
suit in new contract. The UNIV has
a tradition of mot working without
a contract"
Appealing to the mine workers
themselves, the coal operators told

the coal industry than the people you

which has allowed anti-labor legisla-
tion to sneak through Congress on the
coattails of other measures. A pro-
posal on home rule for the District of
Columbia would rid Congress of the
job of governing thee apital city as a

said.
Subjects discussed by the commit
tee on which no agreement could be
reached included limitation of debate
in the Senate and selection of commit
tee heads by some method other than
seniority. Until these two questions
are settled Congress will still face
the problem Of Senate filibusters and
committee domination by die-hard
perennial polltaxers.

WORLD LABOR
HIGHLIGHTS

(Reported by ILNS Overseas Bureau)
London. = Naturalization of Brit
ian's coal mining industry will be ac-
companied by shake-up in the top
ranks of British organized labor. First
to go is Sir Walter Citrine, gen.
eral secretary of the British Trades
Union Congress for more than 20
years.
Citrine is scheduled to take a lead
ing post in the new government-organ-
lied Coal Board, but not before early
summer. His successor will be h. V.
Tewson, assistant secretary of the I.
u. C. since 1881.
With Sir Walter resigning from
leadership in international affairs, the
presidency of the World Federation OF
Trades Unions will also become va
cant. 1t is known that the WFTU, or
ganized with the help of Russian and
CIO labor, has become a source of
embarrassment to the British trade
union movement. Important unions
dislike being isolated from the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, uncomprom-
ising foe of the WFTU. Sir Walters
withdrawal may mean an early re-
assessment of the TUG stand toward
the world federation and the steering
of middle course, designed to retain
good relations with both sections of
American labor.
Tokyo.-A new Japanese labor pol
icy aiming at outlawing woman and
child labor in mining and other haz-
ardous industries will soon be put
into effect. Nearly fifty thousand
women are presently working in the
mining industry, onefourth Of them
as miners underground. The number
Of children the ages of s to IA, en-
ployed in mines is reported to be
large.
Paris.-Organization of a worldwide
strike against the Spanish Franco die
tatorship, advocated by some compon-
ents of the World Federation of Trade
Unions, has been bluntly rejected by
Sidney Hllman, vice-president, ClO,
and executive member of the fedora
ton. Defending union autonomy, Hill
man declared:
IL am against Franco as ! am
against fascists everywhere. But |
want no dictation by an international
trade organization. Unions must re-
main autonomous. Even the ClO
would not dictate strike against
Spain to a member union. When unions
start not only recommending foreign
policy, but enforcing it, they become
governments. call that monkey busi-
ness and | do not like it,"

tour through Germany. The AFL Off

tory policies Of the American Military
