court of Law that his action was due to racial prejudice in any particular Case it might be proven that the employer is biased but can it be proven that an individual negro was not hired because of

and supported infantry units con stantly during the both army Campaign from Salerno to uie Alps i Don t believe there was a drive without a mortar in action i believe that we boys justly deserve being mentioned in your paper we dont like to always be Leit out on a limb Andrew Morales cos As was cited in the article there were too Many to name which supported the 5th army however heres another vote the chemical mortar battalions persuasion and Public education to the Ideal of the Man through the and the pulpit intolerance is a fault in a humanly imperfect society which incident occurred Early

worried about where we will All get jobs yet our coun try is letting monopolies run wild today in my Home town there Are hundreds of Small stores closed simply because they could net com Pete with the

out to Volunteer with hardly any urging from the depot Tion a Veteran must be restored to his old Job regardless of what employee must give Way to make room for the Veteran the unions on the other hand contend that a return ing Veteran should be reinstated on the basis of his term of employment prior to induction plus the time spent in uniform for example if a Man were employee for two years and then spent three years in the armed services he would have five years seniority but he would not replace an employee who had been on the Job for More than five years the Washington Post in an editorial on the subject contends that the Federal interpretation just made throws a Monkey wrench into thousands of collective bar gaining and May Well disrupt the whole pattern of Indus trial relations the Post argues that the longest a Veteran can be guaranteed a Job anyway is one year and that to Force a super seniority on the Veteran will make him Dis liked by both his employer and Fel
