ed good unionism as well as
bad"
Open TO Question
This distinction between good
unionism and bad unionism
needs TO be examined rather
carefully If only because of the
importance Father Keller and
others attach to IL as an argu-
ment in favor of right-to-work
legislation. theoretically, the
distinction is unobjectionable.
Practically speaking, and in the
particular context in which IL
is used Father Keller's book is
open to serious question.
What does Father Keller
mean by a bad union? Does he
mean merely the exceptional
union which is controlled by
communists or Marxist social
lists or racketeers? am not
afraid not. In the full context
of his book, what he seems TO
mean Is that all of our unions
in the United States are bad in
the sense that they are sec
ular" unions and therefore
''materialistic" not only in
practice but in their basic
philosophy. To be sure, he adj
mits (page 6s) that "most of
our unions are good unions and
therefore do not come under
indictment" But on page 62--
as noted in last weeks column
he Jumps all unions in the
United States together and
characterizes them without dis.
tinction or qualification as

Senator Estes Kefaliver announced on Tuesday that
he had decided to quit the and throw his
support to Adai Stevenson. With 378 votes already
pledged, the former gets the 1854 votes
pledged to Kefauyer he would have 504 need only
1924 to get the nomination on August 13 in Chicago
There however another opponent to be considered.
He is the governor of New York. Avere Hartman. Mr..
Hartman has votes pledged and he thinks he will
be able to get of the votes that pledged to Mr.
Kefauver.
1t though Mr.. Stevenson will be the Demo-
cratic nominee, but elections somewhat uncertain
we will have to wait and see. Ma
Some time ago there talk of Mr.. Kefauver being
nominated for vice president but at that time he would
not consider it. Again there is talk about Stevenson
fauver ticket It would be strong if the report turns
out to be correct @A@@ ~

the wandering candle. st. Elmo
was venerated by Mariners
centuries ago. According to
some sources he was Sicilian
Bishop. AT sea, in a storm, he
was taken very i'll. He promis-
ed the distressed Mariners, in
dying, that he would appear if
they were destined to be saved.
After his death, a light ap-
peared at the masthead, and
was named for him.
All the attempts to explain
these lights as supernatural
seem ridiculous, in the light of
modern science. AS over mar
shes and pools, on land, so at
sea, these electrical manifesto
tionS only occur in the rarefi-
cd air-gasscs, before or during
a storm. These are naturally
adherent to the iron Of the

harmlessly stream from human.
fingers, or at the most, give a.
slight shock to the experiment.

Some of these SuperStitions

have a coin at the base of the
old mast dated the same year
that the ship was built. Before
the new mast was set in place.
the commanding officer placed
another coin alongside the ORR

cd some material that explains
the work of a team of U. S.
Navy underwater photograph
erS. Although they do not work
for Walt Disney. or produce
underwater thrillcrS that will
be enjoyed by the general
