Case No. 14-C-596
AMENDMENT TO ORDER
March 26, 19 /y5
On December 14, 1944, the Board issued its Decision and Order 1 in
the above-entitled proceeding. In conformance with our policy since •
the passage of the Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 (50
U. S. Code, Section 308), the Board in paragraph 2 (i) of its aforesaid.
Order directed the respondent to offer reinstatement to Thomas Brown
to his former position in the respondent's employ upon his applica-
tion within forty (40) days after his discharge from the armed forces
of the United States. Since Section 8 (b) of the Selective Training
and Service Act has been amended 2 so as to extend from forty (40) to
ninety (90) days the period within which a discharged member of the
armed forces of the United States may effectively apply for reinstate-
ment to the position which he held at the time of induction, we shall
amend our Order herein, so as to eliminate any-conflict between the
policy of the Selective Training and Service Act and our Order. Ac-
cordingly, paragraph 2 (i) of our Order herein is hereby amended to
read as follows :
Upon application .by Thomas Brown within ninety (90) days after
his discharge from the armed forces of the United States, offer him
reinstatement to his former or a substantially equivalent position,
without prejudice to his seniority and other rights and privileges.
