The ''forced resignation" of a veteran because he joined a union has been interpreted by the Con- necticut Department of Labor as a discharge and the veteran has been certified for readjustment allow ances.
 The departments monthly bulletin described the case of a veteran who joined the AFL Teamsters' Union of his own accord His union delegate told him that his 75-cent hourly rate was IS cents below the rate stipulated in a contract with the employer. The delegate also showed surprise in learning the employer hadn't informed the veteran of the contract clause re- qulrlng union membership.
 Three Are Fired
 With two other employees, the claimant presented his demands to his employer with the result that ali three were fired.

$5OO,OOO Paid In Settlement
 Of 1886 Strike
Knitting Firm Finally Sub mits To NLRB Findings
 In Support Of Union

READING, Pa. (LPA)-It cost the Berkshire Knitting Mills here a half-million dollars because, nearly 10 years ago, it refused to rehire members of the American Federation of Hosiery Workers who went on strike. The $5OO,- 900 settlement, paid to 525 AFHW- CIO members last week, is the larg- est in the history of Wagner Act enforcement, regional NLRB off, cials say.
 The Berkshire workers struck Oct. 1, 1886. The NLRB found the com pany had engaged in unfair labor prac- tices which precipitated and prolonged the strike. Strikers applied for rein statement in the fall of 1887, and the company refused to reemploy them. The Supreme Court finally sustained the NLRB in May, 1914. Under the Wagner Act, the strikers are entitled to back pay from the fall of 1887 un- til July, 1914, when the company agreed to reinstate the strikers. De- ducted from this is any money earned by claimants during the period.
 Three workers received more than $35OO, seven got between ,$3OO0 and $3500, and g received between $2500 and $3O00 In several cases, the checks were claimed by the estates of strikers. Several claimants died in World War II.

BRITISH WORKERS JOIN TUG

LONDON-Taking advantage of the repeal of the 1927 Trades Dispute Act which prohibited political activ- ity and strikes by civil service unions, the Post Office Engineering Union has voted to affiliate to the British Trades Union Congress and to throw its support openly behind the Labor government.
 The union annual conference, rep resenting 45,O00 members, was opened by President E. Power who charged vested interests with monopolizing the manufacture of telephone equip ment and called for an investigation into price agreements. Welcoming the governments decision to take over Cable and Wireless Company, Power declared that this must be the first step to a unified service controlled by the Post Office.

Kaiser Interests
 Grew In Wartime

WASHINGTON CPD = Tn e Henry J. Kaiser interests held ship production facilities by the end of 1944 that were larger than the en- tire shipbuilding industry of the country in l939.
 This demonstration of how Amer ica's industrial might was moved into the war is cited in the report of the Smaller War Plants Corp. to the Senate small business committee.
 67,OOO In 1889
 The U. S. shipbui1ding industry in 1889 employed only 67,OOO workers in yards worth $162 million.
 By the end of September, 1924, Kaiser held production facilities tOtaling $l68 million and had re- ceived 5.2% of all the U. s. con- tract awards, or $1, 1884, 400, 900, and at the wartime peak the entire industry was employing l,9OO, ,OOO workers.

Washington (LPA) U The over whelming majority of women work CTS are staying on the job because they have dependents or must sup port themselves.

ore in the dating of the exodus
y, tho two major schools of ar
w .Soeo1ogy; in the light of recent
s .,,idence, however, the earlier
dotp seems much more likely
than the later date.
" The early date of the exodus,
come time in the middle of the
fifteenth century (B.C.E0, con-
forms with Biblical chronology.
According to the narrative in
Tho First Book of Kings Is, ~.
Temple in 967. Accordingly, 1447
Cadd 4SO and 967) was the year
Of the exodus.
The date of the destruction of
Jericho furnishes additional proof
supporting the 1447 date of the
exodus. The ruins of ancient
Jericho, the first city the
1sraelites conquered in Canaan,
nrove Enthusiastically that the city
was destroyed around 400
BC.E). Allowing for the forty
wears of the sojourn in the
desert, this again bring us to
about 1447 (B.C.E.) as the year
of exodus.
Another proof is furnished by
the famous "Merneptah Inscrip-
ton" in which Pharaoh Mernep-
tab lea. 1225) recorded his vic
tories in Canaan as follows:
Plundered is Canaan with ev-
cry evil,
carried off is Askalon,
seized upon is Gezer,
Yenoam is made as a thing
not existing,
Israel is desolated, his seed is
Great interest attaches to this
inscription as the only Egyptian
text in which occurs the name
Israel"
It is obvious that Merneptah's
reported defeat of the Hebrews
in Canaan implies their presence
in the country.
There are also, however, many
sound points in the arguments
of those favoring the late date
theory Of the exodus.
A word of comment should be
added on another EXODUS mir
acle" - crossing the Red Sea.
According to the route of the
Hebrews march out of Egypt,
they must have crossed the Red
Sea at some point between Lakes
Timnah and the Bitter Lakes,
Wnere, before the opening Oh the
Suez Canal, the waters were very
shallow. It may well have been
that our ancestors crossed by a
shallow neck of water of the
sea which was liable to be driv-
en- back under "a strong east
wind" exodus IA, 21).
1t should be remembered that,
according to- authoritative Jewish
thinkers, a miracle" is not ne
ceSSarily an event contradicting
and opposing the laws of nature,
out rather the marshalling Of

When a miracle" seems to be
the only way out.
