Thomas worked in the non-military operations of a large firm that produced both military and nonmilitary goods. When the company discontinued the production of nonmilitary goods, Thomas was transferred to the plant producing military equipment. Thomas left his job, claiming that it violated his religious principles to participate in the manufacture of goods to be used in destroying life. In effect, he argued, the transfer to the military-equipment plant forced him to quit his job. He applied for unemployment compensation with the state but was denied because he had not been effectively "discharged" by the employer but had voluntarily terminated his employment, making him ineligible for that state benefit.
