Query from Mrs. G. C. r.. Raleigh
N. c.: MY husband was killed in
an accident before he applied for
his terminal leave bond. Can I apply
for 1t now?"
If your husband was killed after
discharge from active duty. then
you can. Write (if he was in the
Army to: Finance Officer. United
States Army, Finance Center 430o
Goodfellow boulevard, st. Louis, Mo
II he was in the Navy or Marines
write Chief of Naval Personnel
Navy Department, Washington, D
c. If in the Coast Guard, write
Commandant, U. S. G. G., Wash
ington, D. G.
But If your husband was killed
before actual discharge, you are net
entitled to collect his terminal leave
pay.
From E. H, Pawnee, Okla: Even
though I worked last summer for
this States Security Employment
Commission, I can't get the answer
to this question: Can veteran
sign up for the self-employment
readjustment allowance as a free
lance writer?"
Yes. However, the veteran who
does so may have to give some in
dication that he really is a writer,
or has tried to be. A few rejection

garding. a veterans unemployment
rights under the Selective Service
Act: During the one-year guarantee
of unemployment, can a veteran
with less seniority than q non
veteran doing the same kind OF
work. be laid off while the nom
veteran is retained?"
Yes. There is no "superseniority''
in unemployment rights. The
United States Supreme Court de-
cided that many months ago.
From E. G., Central City, KY:
Can a dishonorable discharge be
changed to an honorable one?"
If 1t wasn't given as the result Of
general court-martial, there is
a chance 1t can be changed. The
discharge can be appealed under
section 30l of the CT bill. The
Red Cross or any service organiza-
ton, such as the Legion, or the
vFW, or the AVG, can supply the
appeal forms and give aid in filing
them out.
From L. NJ, Louisville: IF a vet
eran was wounded in the war, as
I was, and thinks he rates COM

to apply for it or does it just come
naturally"
He has to apply. Any contact or
regional VA Office or any veterans
organization or the Red Cross can
supply the forms and assist in filing
them out.
From F. T, Spokane: II was dis
charged from the Army two months
ago. Do I still have to carry my
draft card with me? And was I
automatically placed in the Reserve?
I was sergeant"
"No" is the answer to both ques-
tions.
From r. F. J., Oakland: How long
after my discharge do I have to
go to work for the Government in
order to cash in on my civil service
veterans preference"
Any time. Your five-point pref
erence Cor 10, if you have a service
connected disability is good until
you give up the ghost.

Our reply to the Taft Hartley law in Re-
gion 2-B cannot be given in few words, but
it can and will be given in the months that lie
ahead
We will continue in the future, as we have
in the past to organize the unorganized in
order to give them the benefits which come
from organization. We believe that our union
can bring to the unorganized the same advant-
ages which 1t has always brought. We believe
that wages, working conditions, seniority, job
protection and other advantages brought by
the union are still urgent necessities despite
the new Taft-Hartley law.
We will continue to preach in the future,
even more than we have in the past, that
wages, working conditions and other benefits
brought by the union cannot be maintained
unless our people elect the right people to
political office
We still believe that the Constitution of
the United States guarantees us the right OF
free speech and free press despite the Taft
Hartley law and we will continue in the fu-
ture as we have in the past to tell our people
that Senator Robert A. Taft and majority
of the Republican party now serving in Con-
gress are the enemies of the workers.
We believe that the workers are entitled
to live as God intended, in peace and in the
security which the wealth and productivity of
this nation makes possible. We will continue

share in the things which they produce, at
the same time recognizing that under our
economic system, ownership is entitled to
just not exorbitant profit.
MISTAKE
1t is our belief that the Taft Hartley law
is mistake and that it will lead to evils
which none can completely foresee at this
time. What makes the new law even more
diStasteful to the workers is the lack of sim
cerity of those who authored, sponsored and
supported it.
Agreeing, Ito save argument) that there
may possibly be some labor leaders who are
not completely sincere, the damage which can
come from their insincerity can only damage
a limited number of people in their union;
but the harm which can come from the lack
of sincerity on the part of a congressional
majority can damage whole nation
While we of labor believe that laws should
be respected, we cannot agree that unjust
laws are worthy of support particularly
when we know the circumstances which sur
round some of them. This argument could
be carried out at great lengths. Instead, can
only say that we do not agree with the Taft
Hartley law, and will work for its repeal with
every instrument at our command.

From The Desk
of
Melvin Schultz
President
Local II UAW>CIO

AS this article goes to press and before
the distribution of the paper is completed the
Taft-Hartley Act will have become law.
In the span of time since its passage until
now, the writer obtained three different books
explaining the law, together with a couple
dozen of letters and many mimeographed
question and answer sheets. Muc hof this
literature which is put out advising Manage
ments how to proceed under the Act is very
different from the literature put out by our
own top Organization. OF course, as was point
ed out in the past, this Act is so confused
victims before final interpretations can be OBJ
tanned on the Act through the courts of our
that 1t probably will have grabbed up many
land.
1t Is very noticeable that even the authors
OF the Act do not seem to have complete un-
derStanding of its provisions. The right of
free speech, which this Act curbs is without
a doubt unconstitutional. The machinery and
chain Of offices necessary to permit function
ing of Government under this law will of
necessity be so large and cumbersome that it
will create situations that are going to be as
harmful to business as ito employee.
Certainly it is interesting to note that the
same forces which encouraged and were able
to get this law passed have opposed the So
cial programs which Labor has advocated on
the very grounds which they are using to
further their own proposals. II is stated that
the intent of the Act is not to handle small
disputes but rather that it is meant to handle
only disputes which effect our national econo-
my or national welfare 1t loks to me like the
little fellow is to be left out in the cold with
out the benefit of the new type of planned
regimentation.

Sticking Your
Neck Out!

Not so long ago a labor
editor made a mighty fine
statement: I'VE want men who
will stick their necks out, who
will stick their necks out for
what is right and for what is
best. We want them in the
government and we want
them in the labor movement,
too"
That l think expresses just
what the rank and file of Or
ganized Labor really wants.
There is no patience among
the men themselves with pus-
syfooting or compromise. They
want leaders who will lead,
without one eye on their job
and the other on the men who
put them there. They want
leader who will stick his neck
out for anything that is right
and best in our domestic life.
For, all sentiment aside, the
rank and file of organized la
Dor believes in being and in
doing right. 1 have heard
much more criticism of unfair
labor practices in labor union
halls than l ever read in any
column of Peglers-and we all
know that reforms were under
way, long before he disclosed
to the public certain fungus
growth on Labor.
SAME PRINCIPLES
Labor must take a position
of leadership-and to do so it
must stick its neck out
ahead-not crane backwards.
The men who will make good
are the ones who are plan
ming the program for tomor-
row not the ones who are
thinking up the answers to
the charge made last year.
The phrase, Organized La
Dor, when reduced to its
simplest term means a group

ACrosS,OrA
Torch, Or A
Living Tree?
BY Ruth Taylor

Each of us has a burden to
carry. Each of us has a load
that seems too great for our
strength. With one 1t may be
a burden of grief, with another
poverty, with another ill.health
- or heavy responsibilities,
heartaches, misunderstanding,
stifled talents, expected oppor-
tunities that never material
ize.
What we make of these bur-
dens, depends upon ourselves
alone. They are our load of
wood, which we alone can
carry.
To some their burdens are a
cross under which the body is
bowed. The valiant may strive
to carry the cross, but each
step becomes more difficult as
the load weighs down the spirit
and tires the heart. A few
glory in martyrdom-but be-
ing a martry is a lonely life.
To others their burdens are
a torch. Out of the dead wood
of their lives they make flam.
ing beacon to light the way
ahead for those who follow.
They use their sorrows brave
ly as they face them boldly.
The light they give forth is
the high flame of courage,
Frightening the paths of those
around them.
Still others make Of their
burdens a living tree. They
assume the thankless task of
planting their griefs that out
of them may grow a living
thing-a tree which will give
shade and comfort to the weary
traveller, a place of beauty in
the world, where the song of
nesting birds may bring solace
to the ear as the leafy branches
give rest TO the heart. They
tend their sorrows, not to re-
member them - but because
their griefs have made them
warm.hearted, ready to give
to others even that which they
may never possess for them
selves.
To bear a sorrow bravely is
a noble thing. But, I think, to
bear a burden graciously is the
better part. Once / knew a
woman who was living a life
of what seemed utter drudg.
cry, added to by the ingrati-
tude and querulousness of the
one whose burden she was try
ing to lift. When someone
lot and commented on her
commiserated with her on her
cheerful, considerate attitude
in face of provocation, she
said: We'll, if AM going to
be a martyr, the least l can do
is to be a gracious one. There
is no sense in both of us being
uncomfortable"
I've remembered that, and
in my own dark hours have
tried to follow her teachings.
She planted living tree whose
seed has been sown far and
wide.
We can make of our burdens
a cross, or torch, or a living
tree.
Which do you dor
