some of his critics have charged
or was he reflecting the gem
eral Catholic point of view with
reference to the morality of the
union shop? Has the American
Hierarchy said anything official
ly about this subject? What
about American theologians?
To the best of our knowl-
edge, neither the general body
of American Bishops nor the
Administrative Board of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Confer
ence has ever issued an official
statement bearing directly on
the union shop. The reason for
this is that the morality of the
union shop has hardly ever been
called into question by compe-
tent Spokesmen for the Catholic
point OF view. American theo-
logianS and American Catholic
experts in the field of labor re-
lationS are almost unanimously
agreed that the union shop is
morally legitimate. Their reason
ing is adequately summarized in
an article by the late MonSignor
John A. Ryan, Moral Aspects
of Labor Unions" in the Cath
Ole Encyclopedia.
Another useful summary of
the Catholic point of view with
reference to union security is to
be found in Catholic Universe
ty of America doctoral disserta-
ton entitled THE Closed Shop"
This dissertation was written by
Father Jerome Toner, O.S.B., of
st. Martins College, Olympia,
Washington, under the direction
of Monsignor Ryan and the late
Bishop Haas. The following ex-
cerpt from Father Toner'S disser-
tation will make it clear that
Archbishop Rummel was reflect
ing the general Catholic point of
view when he defended the NOR
ality of the union shop.
Papsl Approval
THE teachings of the Popes
and their Interpretation and ap-
plication for American industry
by the Archbishops and Bish-
ops" Father Toner concludes,
lend substantial although not
specific endorsement TO the
Closed Shop. Nowhere is If nam
ed as an evil to be condemned.

Recalling the number of times we have been The

that, OF course Written by VIII
liam z. Foster, national chair
man of the Communist Party, 1t
teaches Moscow's followers how
TO work for the destruction Of
the United States. But in the
course of the discussion. Foster
sings a hymn of praise TO recent
Sopiet pictorieS and cannot re-
strain himself from indicating
that these MoScow gains are the
results OF the blindness OF those
supposedly leading the Ameri.
con nation.
Pleased At Blindness
AS leader of the Kremlin's
trained infiltratorS here, Foster
is more than pleased at this
blindness, and his aim is TO make
certain that it is intensified. He
points out with much elation
that American imperialism and
its allies are going from one
defeat TO another" and tells why
this is occurring. To put il brief
ly, and freed from the commun-
ist iargon which Foster must en-
ploy for consplratorial purpos-
es, these defeats are taking place
because American leadership is
yielding to what the Kremlin
wants it to do.
If any person wishes genuine
ly to save this country, rather
than merely to talk about being
against communism" he should
take the contents of this column

Where Is the will of God to be found? We
have only TO recall to mind the lessons of the lit

is this obvious. It is this easy. 1t with the
sense of = letdown, almost And yet maybe, we
have been so busy with nonessentials that we have

Q. Is is possible for the souls
to come back to earth e. @. m
haunted houses. seanceS, etc.
A. We have instances in the
Bible of the appearance of the
departed: And behold, the cur
tain of the temple was torn in
two from top to bottom; and the
earth quaked, and the rocks were
rent. and the tombs we're open
ed, and many bodies of the
saints who had fallen asleep
arose: and coming forth out of
the tombs after his resurrection,
they came into the holy city,
and appeared to many" MAT
thew 27:5153) Obviously these
apparitions were permitted by
God and there was a good and
proportionate reason. Haunting
a house would scarcely meet
these requirements and certain
ly the confusion of SpiritiStic
seances cannot be approved by
God. Practically all the pheno-
mena connected with such events
have a human explanation. The
very few instances which do
not 1eem to admit of natural
explanation must be attributed
to the devil.
Q. Is Christ or st. Peter the
rock upon l0hich the Christian
Church is built? A neighbor
of NINE objects that a0e crorod
Christ out of the picture By sub
Stitutinq st. Peter as the rock
and Mdrg as the mediatriT be-
tween us and God.
A. st. Paul states the princi-
pie we'll in regard to the Apos-
ties: You are built upon the
foundation of the Apostles, Jesus
Christ Himself being the chief
corner stone" (EphesianS 2:20)
st. Peter and his successors, the
Roman Pontiffs, are not in com
petition or opposition to Christ.
They are Wears, which means
one who takes the place of e.g.
vice-president. Christ Himself
gave Peter and his successors
this position: "Thou art Peter,
and upon this rock | will build
my Church Matthew
16:18-19) Christ ascended into
heaven and left His Apostles
under the leadership of His vicar
Uuke 22:31-32; John 21:15-17)

which the Catholic Church keeps.

Blessed Virgin Mary crowds out

MONsTCNOR HIGGINS
The Union Shop

1t receives indirect approval In
the papal idealization of the an
cient guilds which were volun-
tary or free associations in re-
spect to membership-that is,
they were open" so that work
er was free to join or not TO
join-but compulsory or closed"
in regard to trade or craft; that
is, no one who was not a men,
ber of the guild could work at
a trade or craft.
Father Toner is concerned pri-
marily with the closed shop. II
is obvious, however, that what
he says in favor of the closed
shop applies even more strong
ly to the union shop, which is,
relatively speaking, milder
form of union security.
Father Toner might have add
ed that while the official state
ments of the American hierarchy
do not lend specific endorse
ment" to the closed or union
shop, they do lend strong sup
port to the proposition that all
workers should be organized in-
to trade unions.
Duty To ORGANIZE
If the workers are said 10 have
the duty to organize, it does not
necessarily follow therefrom
that the union shop is morally
: legitimate. 1t will be apparent,
however, that there is marked
difference between the attituds
of the average opponent of the
union shop and that of the ma
jority of commentators on the
social encyclicals as to the de-
STABILITY of trade unionisn1. The
average opponent of the union
shop and the average proponent
of so-called "right-to-work" leg
islation regards the decision Ito
organize or not to organize) as
purely individual decision on
the part of the individual work
ers. BY contrast, the American
Bishops, the Canadian Bishops,
and the majority of American
students of Catholic social teach
ing place their emphasis on the
social responsibility of Individual
workers to contribute to the
common good by organizing with
their fellow workers.
1t goes without saying, oi
course, that the same RESPONSE
bility rests upon employers ia
organize into appropriate associ
ations on their own as the nor
NAL way of making their requir
ed contribution to the common
good. II also goes without say
ing that every effort must bs
made by the members of these
organizations of workers anc
employers TO bring their poll
cies and practices into line with
Christian teaching. In othel
words, to argue in favor of thu
morality of the union shop is no
TO close ones eyes TO the fac
that some unions 0ike some em
ployers' assoeiationsl are les
than perfect.

In a unanimous demonstration
of it's concern for the welfare of
the underpriveleged children of
Montgomery County, the Mont
gomery County licensed Beverage
Association has undertaken the cost
of building two cabins for use at
Camp Echo Lake, the proposed
youth opportunity camp, it was an
nounced this week by John Emory,
President of the Association.
The two cabins, which are being
constructed at cost by Carl Free
man, Bethesda builder, will be on
display by January 10th, the date
chosen for the opening of the Camp
Echo Lake campaign. One will be
placed in Silver Spring on a site
being made available to the camp
project by Mr.. Sam Fig; the other
is to be placed in Bethesda.
Upon completion these cabins
will become headuarters for the
many hundreds of campaign work
ers who will be recruited in the
$150,000o building Fund campaign.
The cabins will be administered
byathei zWomen's Division of the
campaign, who will serve coffee
and doughnuts to the workers.
At the conclusion of the cam
paign, the Beverage Association
will assume the cost of transport
ing the cabins to the camp site
at South Mountain between Fred
erick and Hagerstown.
In presenting check covering
the cost of the two cabins Mr..
Emory said:
"The Montgomery County La
censed Beverage Association has
long been concerned about the need
for Camp Echo Lake. We hope
that by undertaking the cost of
the building and transporting of
thsee two cabins, we can help to
bring to the attention of the entire
County the very real need for the
camp. We are proud to. be of SER
vice in this wonderful project.
