PREFERENCE TO EX-SOLDIERS
BETTER TREATMENT URGED. THE R&A. TAKES ACTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last NightA report of the repatriation committee dealing with the admission of incapacitated men into all the State services was submitted to the conference of the Returned Soldiers' Association to-day. The committee found that many soldiers had been refused employment by the State on account of war injuries, and it urged: (a) That employment at a wage comparable to what they would have been receiving had they not enlisted should be found for them, and that men who resigned their positions in order to enlist should be reinstated in the same way as if leave had been granted to them. (b) That a separate superannuation fund subsidised by the Government be established in'order to remove any difficulty in regard to superannuation. (c) That no soldier so re-employed shall lose, by reason of bis war service, any annual increment to which he would otherwise have been entitled. (d) That this Association demands preference for returned soldiers, sailors, and nurses when public appointments are made, and recommends that preference be "given by private employers also. The report was adopted.
