BRITISH FIRM FINED
FAILURE TO REINSTATE SOLDIER. FLEA OF NO WORK REJECTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.45 a.m.) LONDON, November 24. For the first time in Britain an Ipswich firm has been fined £5, for failing to reinstate a discharged soldier in its employment. It was also ordered to pay a fine of nine weeks’ wages to him. The prosecution said the soldier, on being discharged as unfit for military service, applied to his employers for reinstatement, but was told that there was no vacancy. It was stated foi the defence that the firm did not understand the law, but imagined that reinstatement was intended to apply to after the war. Nobody had been placed in the vacant job as no work was available.
