Jack Thurman's Acme Dry Cleaners 4t 1728 No. Riverside Phone 4263 ATTENTION RETURNED VETERANS! There has been too much misinformation and maligning of Labor Unions concerning their treatment of returning Veterans. Miss or Mr. Veteran: The A. F. of L. Labor Unions affiliated with the Medford Central La bor Council want you to know all of our Unions without exception, have arranged for a special dispensation for you,, either upon return to your old job or in assisting you in obtaining a new job. In most cases no initiation fee will be charged where an initiation fee is necessary, it will be on a greatly reduced basis. Many of our members are returning from Military Service along with those of you who were not former members. We want all of you to know that we welcome you back and will render every assistance possible to again re-establish yourselves in civilian life. We would appreciate and prefer that you come direct to us for first- hand information as to the treatment, you as a Veteran, can expect to re- ceive from Labor Unions. Many of our Local Union Officers are well informed as to the Veterans training facilities, and are actively engaged in apprenticeship programs. Such officers will gladly assist you in every way possible. We acknowledge our responsibility to the returning Veteran, but we definitely dislike the undue criticism that has been heaped upon us due to misstatement of facts through newspaper articles, radio news broad casts, commentators, etc. The public, employers and Veterans should all bear in mind that the major percentage of returning Veterans are cither members of Organized Labor or from families of Labor members. This is Organized Labor's Pledgee to the returning Veteran. MEDFORD CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL 3 Wo. S66 Central Point, Or.
