Description
BRIGHT, C. J.: Appellant Robert E. Morton began working as an electrician for the Gulf, Mobile & Ohio Railroad Company (""Railroad"") in 1950 and continued in this employment until April 6, 1951, when he left his position to serve in the United States Air Force for a period of four years. On April 18, 1955, five days after his honorable discharge from the Air Force, Morton resumed, and has since continued, his employment with the Railroad. In May of 1967, Morton instituted this action against his employer for recovery of accrued vacation pay and for a decree directing the Railroad to credit him with the time spent in the military in calculating the length of his paid vacations. Morton contends that the Railroad has denied him seniority rights contrary to § 9 of the Universal Military Training and Service Act, former 50 U.S.C.A. App. § 459 (1951).1 Federal jurisdiction having been established, 50 U.S.C.A. App. § 459(d),2 the district court denied Morton's claim and dismissed his action. Morton v. Gulf, Mobile & Ohio R. Co., 277 F. Supp. 434 (E.D. Mo. 1967). Morton appeals and we reverse.
