Preference To Soldiers Debated At Conference Vote Defeated
A conference debate on Thursday over the Returned Soldiers' Preference Act provisions ended in defeat for calls to repeal or modify the measure. Dr J H Balfour Calasirn spoke for a broad preference that required no certificate of ability, potentially favoring unionists and drawing unemployd soldiers from other states. Dr A R Townsend urged that true preference would only arrive with amended legislation, while Dr Sullivan noted earlier sportsmen had benefited and urged honoring soldiers on payrolls not just honor rolls.
