BRITISH FIRM FINED
FAILURE TO REINSTATE SOLDIER (Received November 25, 7 p.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 employment, and has also been ordered to pay a fine of nine weeks' wages to him. The prosecution said the soldier was discharged as unfit for military service. He applied to his employers for reinstatement, but was told that there was no vacancy. It was stated for tne defence that the firm did not understand the law, but imagined that reinstatement was intended to apply after the war. Nobody had been placed in the vacant job, as no work was available.
