In It's resolution. the JAW

All eight workers were fired

Under the Veterans Prefer
ence Act. a veteran need only
maintain a satisfactory" Ell

keep his job when it is a

The majority opinion held
that Congress has the power
to vest the appointment OF

limit and restrict the power

tinued:
we strongly urge ex-
tension Of the General Motors
agreement with its wage for
mula for a period Of two years
beyond May 20. 1858 when the
current three-year wage pact
expires.
This would mean an In
crease in the basic wage rates
of 6 cents an hour or ga per
cent Of wage rates. whichever
is greater. on May 20 and a
like increase a year later. or a
total increase in basic wages
Of at least IL cents an hour over
