UNION OATH PRE-
VENTS ABSOLUTION
FATHER ,SCHINNER APPROVES
BELOIT PRIEST.
ANTAGONIZES THE CHURCH
Members of Typographical organiza-
ton Must Swear Allegiance Having
Priority to Every Obligation, Re,
Iigious or Observation-Disclosures Prom
Uses to Develop Big Contention.

Milwaukee, Sept. 10.-The slogan
for what promises to be one Of the
biggest contentious in which organ
lied labor has been engaged, one with
the Catholic church, has been sounded
by Father NJ. j. Ward of Beloit, who
has declared that neither he nor any
other priest OF the Roman Catholic
faith Will give absolution to those who
have taken the oath OF the internation-
.al typographical union.
The oath oil this union requires that
the members allegiance to his union
shall have priority over every obllg.-
ton, religious or otherwise.
Father A. +. Schinner, administration
of the archdiocese of Milwaukee, said
yesterday morning that Father Ward
was altogether justified in making
such a statement, and that he himself
would say the same thing.
Such an OATH said Father Schin-
ner, lis distinctly aimed at religion. l
do not know that the refusal to give
absolution to such union members is
enforced, but 1 think it should be.
1T has been told me by a member
of the union that nothing antagonistic
to religion is intended, but there is a
possibility of reading it that way, and
think that an oath should be so cleal
that there can be no misunderstanding
of it.
Il am not in favor of taking ex
IRENE measures at once" continued
Father Schinner, but if the printers
oath does not mean as it reads, think
an opportunity should be given to have
it changed.
I'm case it is not changed, no good
Catholic could stay in the union and
dissolution should be refused"
Father NJ. J. Ward OF Beloit, one OF
the most prominent Catholic priests in
the state, has declared that neither he
nor any other priest OF the Roman
Catholic faith will give dissolution 70
those who have taken the oath of the
international typographical union.
Ex-Sherin Michael Walsh, one Of
the most prominent of Milwaukee
Catholics, has been president OF the
Milwaukee branch of the typographi-
cal union and has administered this
cath, aeld Objectionable by the CathO-
lie clergy, numbers of times.
Catholic printers say that they have
never fought of making any religious
application of their union Oatn. Mem
