Their Jobs Back or
United States District
Attorney Will Know
Reason Why
Perusing the Conference Report
on the selective training and service
act of 1940, one finds that Congress
hereby declares that it is imperative
to increase and train the personnel of
the armed forces of the United
States.'
To this end, and principally to
build an army and navy of such size
and formidableness as to frighten
the living daylights out of any other
people who would entertain ideas of
poaching on us, the compulsory train
ing system is soon to go into effect.
It might be wenl to point out some
of the items under various sections
of the Selective Training and Ser
vice Act. The Conference Report is
far too involved in legislative lan
guage to make interesting reading,
but the thing is potent with meaning
for thousands of men between the
ages of 20 and 36, their employers
and their families.
To those scanning the avenues of
draft-dodging (there are probably
none, certainly not in Hertford) the
act continually mentions State and
Federal jobs "concerning public
TWnoA TliMi-ft-Aft Will Psit SU8tein can be drafted into non-com

scientiously objecting can be assigned
to work of national importance under
civilian direction.
An objection not sustained by , the
local board can be appealed to the
appeal board and then to the Depart
ment of Justice. The appeal board
can (but needn't necessarily) follow
the recommendation of the Depart
ment of Justice. What the local
board recommends is about the de
ciding factor regardless of appeals.
That more or less covers the con
scientious objectors and now let's
see what the Act says about getting
your job back after the year's train
ing: Boiled down, it states that anyone
who leaves a job or position in order
to perform the training will be on a
sort of furlough or leave of absence
during his period of training. If at
the end of that time he is still quali
fied to perform his duties he shall be
ic.-aureu io nis position or to a po
sition "of like seniority, status, and
pay, or the United States District
Court will know the reason why.
If the process of pQeading by the
person entitled to the benefits of such
provisions as these is upheld the em
ployer will be required to compensate
such person for any loss of wages or
benefits suffered by reason of such
employer's unlawful action.
In other words, the drafted man is

It appears that these are the only! the odd salary or one just as good if
jobs the draft cannot touch. But' the employer is still in business,
other t'han those jobs clearly out- That's the employer's only out: the
