YOUR G.I. RIGHTS ...By

WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. — Here are some important recent decisions which affect veterans’ job rights: A veteran's failure to apply himself properly to a job in which he is reinstated upon return from the service constitutes grounds for his being fired within the first year. of re-employment, according to a decision handed down by a U. 8, District court. The gase involved concerned a welder who got his job back after his discharge and failed to do acceptable work, although his attendance was good and he was seldom late.

In accordance with the practice of the company’s welders, welding took up only part of this veteran's time, with the rest of his working day spent on other assigned tasks. Fellow employees testified that the veteran impaired the discipline and efficiency of the plant by failing to apply himself to the other assigned
