ieee OLD 18S REFUSED TO SOLDIERS, SAYS ~UNON SECRETARY Those Seeking Clerical Work Hit Hardest, According to William Flanagan. “It is not true that employers gen~ erally arc welcoming discharged sol-| diers and sailors back to their for- mer Jobs, Several cases have come to my knowledge of employers refusing to give the country’s defenders their old positions. In other cases the men ave been told it will be some time before work can be provided, and have been advised to take anything they can get with other firms.” ‘Willlam Flanagan, Secretary of Ec- eentric Engineers’ Union No. 56, at union headquarters, No. 211 East 46th Strect, made this statement to-day: “{ am informed that officials of ‘ether trade unions have received sim- flar information,” the secretary con- tinued. “The men who have suffered most from this injustice are those who did clerical or similar work. Those who belong to unions have compuratively little trouble because they belong to skilled trades and their gervices are in demand. “One member of the Eccentric En- @ineers’ Union reported he had been turned away by his former employer. 1 caused an inquiry to be made and a Nittle later received information that the discharged soldier was to go back leo his old job next day.
