phasizing the spiritual significance
of the event, Bishop Ready declar-
ed that Labor Day is IAN appropri-
ate occasion to pray for Gods
blessings on all who work and who
hire labor, to the end that they
may live and work together as
brothers in the love of Jesus
Christ, our Saviour. We cannot ex-
pect Gods blessings if we do not
keep Gods law of love toward our
neighbor."
Bishop Ready also reviewed the
purposes of the religious celebra
tion during the past decade. He as
serted:
During those ten years
through the Holy Mass we have
pefitioned Gods guidance for
the leaders of our Country. We
have asked His blessing on the
homes and families of the men
and women in the shops and
mills and mines and offices and
on the farms of our land whose

Negro Priest
Sees End OF
Segregation

NEW YORK - NC - A Ne
gro priest, born in the North and
now stationed in the deep South,
foresees the end of racial segrega-
tion.
Father Albert Mcknight, C.S.Sp.,
a native of Brooklyn, NY. has
been curate in st. Pauls parish,
Lafayette, La, for a year. In that
time he has revised some of his
opinions about the South. He has
come to see the area as a challeng-
ing field for priest, particularly a
Negro priest, he stated at the Cath
olic Interracial Forum here.
TO understand the racial Situa-
ton in the South you must keep
in mind the basic concept that peo-
pie don't like change" Father Nc
knight said. Although racial preiu-
dices are deeply ingrained" in the
South, many classical forms of
segregation are breaking down"
As an indication OF the trend
toward change there, he pointed
out that the other fwo priests at
St. PsUl's are white. AT the time
of his appointment there was
some doubs in the minds of his
superiors that the local commun-
itY would accept the idea of
white and Negro priests living in
the same recfory. THE people
took il in stride" he said.
ut is terrible to see the effects
of segregation among Negroes,
Father Mcknight declared. 1T ha,
engendered an inferiority complex
which often causes them to lower
themselves in their own estima
tion."
In summary, Father McKnighr
said he was hopeful that the ma
jor problems of segregation in tht
South will be solved within tn,
next ten years.

ment in this direction.
The statement emphasized that
responsibility for applying the
principles of morality to economic
life belongs primarily to labor and
management cooperating with one
another through their own free as

legislators assume that govern
ment controls must do the job

Founded in 1947, the American

advance its acceptance in Catholic
circles and to work toward the in-
tegrstion of psychology with Cath
olic thought and practice.

IS to have a few Of each kind of ap-

But when the president comes to

. did not pay. it gives us quite a bit
of trouble. Presidents, you have
always been cooperative and I do
hope that you VIII help us in this

We have asked for this throughout

work done.
Some of the presidents write to
the office and inform us that they
cannot get the secretaries of the
0local lodges to make out their re-
port blanks as the office requests.
Our conclusion is this: if the lodge
is going to let one of its elected Of
ficers be greater than the whole
lodge, then the lodge is weak indeed.
When the office and the lodges
throughout the Association decide
that they are going to stop co-opera-
ting, then it is time to close the doors
OF the Association. Mistakes are
made in the office and in the local
lodges and when they are made, it
it our duty to adjust them where
ever they are.
