Such a “vicious cycle," he ad-
ded. must be averted by prompt
governmental action.
Meany recalled that the fears
first voiced by the Executive
Council last August concerning
the scope of the reom^on had
proven justified..
"That's why we called the un-
employment conference n e x t

The suit involved a claim by
the former ICT employees for
wages in lieu of earned vacation
time. The employees' collective
bargaining contract had provided
that employees with five years
services should earn vacation time
at the rate of 15/12 days for each
month worked in a year; similarly,
employees with less than five
years service, should earn vaca-
tion pay at the rate of 10/12ths
days for every month of service.
After the receiver had denied
the employees claims for wages
suit was brought under Article
21.28, Sec. 6 of Vernon's Civil
Statutes. This section provides
some men not working, but we
hope with weather being favorable
to see them back on the job.
Bro. Otis Crumpton, who has
been in the Lisbon Veterans’ Hos-
