Lack OF Confidence

The news of the world always
contains crime and violence and
death.
RECENT STORIES have been
particularly gruesome with suicides,
abortion, and mass murder making
the headlines.
Such tragic events C certainly
seem to indicate a lack of regard for
the sacredness of human life which
does not belong to man but TO AL
mighty God Who alone gives it and
takes it away.
But more devastating To the
moral code which the Christian world
processes to live by, is the lack of con-
fidence in Gods grace that is so man
ifest today.
THE MOTHER WHO contem-
plates abortion, no matter what her
motive, does not act as if she believes
that the unborn child Is a creature
composed of body and soul and des-
tined for the Beatific Vision.
The suicide who cannot face
life's problems and solves them by
running away from them, does not
practice the virtue of Hope.
The individual who is blocked In
his own desires and takes his revenge
by a blood orgy of murder obviously
does not trust in divine Providence.
We make no judgment on the
guilt of anyone who has committed
such crimes. But we do say this. Ii
such people are rational and profess
to be Christian they have forgotten

THE BACKDROP

Currently more than "a million
women hold down jobs in industry,
merchandising and the professions. Of
this number, two million are CLASH
fled as heads of families, being the
sole support of n Oh nor DEEPEN
dents.
Women tend to be found in the
lower paying occupations. And, ac-
cording to testimony before the House
Labor subcommittee, millions of
women, working side by side with
men and doing comparable work, are
paid at a lower rate.
Seven million women, many of
them household domestics, r en-
ployed at jobs that pay less than 81
an hour. In 1860, the median wage for
male workers was $5,417, for female
workers, $3,293.
The inequality of pay is as pre-
valent in the government as in private
industry. The chairman of the United
States Civil Service Commission has
stated that men dominate the upper
pay brackets of government employ
ment. the ratio in the $4,000 a year
barcket being II women to 1,430 e
The great disparity in per capita r
ings is reflected in retirement an
nuities which are $1,417 for women
and $1,905 for men.
A FEBRUARY survey by the
Wall Street Journal covering 30 col
lege placement officials and so COR
poration personnel executives showed
that the starting monthly salaries for
women graduating from college this
past June would lag $50 to $500 be-

equivalent positions.

Women, who long ago won their
battle for political rights equal to
those enjoyed by men, appear to be
about to win their long fight for equal
pay.
IN EVERY session of Congress
since 1945, equal pay bills have been
introduced by members of both politi-
cal parties, but they all failed to pass.
Finally such a bill has been passed
by the House and the odds are better
than even that the Senate will con-
cur.
In the past opponents of the equal
pay bills have commended that such
legislation should be left to the states.
Another argument against them wa
that they would initiate against
women; that employers, if forced to
pay a woman as much as they had to
pay a man, would eliminate women
from the work force. The end result
would be that many women support
ing families would be barred from
jobs they needed desperately.
BY and large the states have been
reluctant to enact legislation requir-
ing equal pay for comparable jobs.
Only % of the so states have such
laws on their books and in many of
these the laws are relatively ineffec-
tive. Employers uniformly have OPP
posed equal pay bills in the state
legislatures on the ground that, if
required to put women on a par with
men on the payroll, they would be
comparatively disadvantaged in rela-
ton to employers in adjoining states
which had no equal pay laws.
THE EXTENT to which women
have penetrated every conceivable
field of employment in the United
States is not adequately recognized.

The union shop is fine, but.

postum entitled Public Policy and
Collective Bargaining" (Harper and
Row, New York;.
BY no stretch of the imagination
can Professor Sultan be characterized
as a union batter or a union buster.
He is a competent and fairninded stu
dent of labor-management relations
who will not permit his sympathy for
the cause of trade unionism to blind
him to the need for protecting the
rights of individual union members.
HE is NOT opposed to the union
shop as such. If the majority of the
workers in a given bargaining unit are
in favor of the union shop and a
persuade management to sign a shop
agreement, well and good. But unions.
he says, "are going to have to make
greater efforts to satisfy not only the
majority of the work force, but the
peculiar interests of dissident minors
ties" A special effort will have to
be made, he contends, IF not to insti-
tutionalize, at least to l~egitimatize,
dissent"
This is something for union Off
Gals to think about very seriously. |
don't blame them at all for opposing
right-to-work legislation, but they will
be deluding themselves if they begin
to think that they can, with impunity,
use the union shop as a means of
bringing dissident members into line

This week on page two we have

We have done so not only to pay

PERHAPS A few observations
on the vocation to religious life might
be in order.

"a Sister gets more than she

ly, but those who want to be holy.
. Religious life is not easy, but
what worthwhile thing is? The very
challenge makes it meaningful and
exciting.

nun is not a negative virtue. 1t is the
positive love of God which enables a
woman to FULFILL her destiny through
spiritual maternity.

Women Par Excellence

The late Father Edward Leen
once wrote that every woman must
find as her special role the care of
children, the weak, the suffering. the
wayward, and all who are in need of
sympathy, understanding and insight.
HE SAID WOMAN "must stimu-
late the tagging energies in those
whose courage has failed, she must
spur to high endeavor those beset
with self-distrust." Her greatness
consists in inspiring others and for
this she must be possessed of dignity,
sweetness, self-restraint, objectivity,
and the power of giving.
1t is this last-named quality, the
giving, by which woman brings out
all the latent good and energy in
others for in contact with her things
take life. For her perfection the true
woman must combine the spiritual
beauty of virginity and maternity.
She must have the grace, the modesty
and the restraint of a virgin, along
with the dignity, tenderness, and de-
Votedness of a mother.
All women are called TO this high
purpose and should be characterized
by the qualities Of modesty, reserve,
dignity, grace, tenderness, sensibility,
adaptability, and d~evotedness to a
person.
BUT NO WOMAN is more likely
to have these virtues than the reli-
gious. This is so because of her voca-
ton, her dedication, her education, her
association, and her inspiration.
The nun is not an unfulfilled wo-
man. Quite the contrary. She has not
sought God because she has not found
man. She has found mar through God.
She has not fled the world because it
ls not for her; she has chosen God

of Gods prOVidential care for us,
THE FIRST IS from st. Paul, as
contained in last Sundays Mass:
"God is faithful and will not permit
you to be tempted beyond your
strength, but with the temptation will
also give you a way out that you may
be able to bear it,"
And the second is the word of the
Lord who admonished us saying:
"See how the lilies of the field grow;
they neither toll 0 spin, yet ] say TO
you that not even Solomon in all his
glory was arrayed like one of these.
But if God SO clothes the grass which
today is alive in the field and tomor-
row is thrown into the oven; how
much more you, o you of little faith"
49, GAF

ask God to GIVE them a religious vo-
cation, if He SO wills.
Parents should pray for their
daughters and encourage them by
aiding in any way they an. Most of
all, they should see to it that their
daughter enters religious life when
she has made her choice. 1t is often
fatal to procrastinate.
The image of the religious should
be clear to all Catholics. She definite
ly fulfills the description of Father
Leen who writes: THE great woman
who finds a place in the memory of
mankind is the one who calls forth
worth and goodness in beings around
her, who is the inspiration of brave
undertakings, who fosters idealism,
who sustains the fainting arms, who
conjures away tears or dries them,
who creates a high moral tradition.
who civilizes society and increases the
sum of happiness in the world, who,
in a word, dominates, not by force,
but by wisdom, goodness and sane
vision"
FATHER GERALD Vann, O.P.,
has added to this portrait of the true
woman when he says: If woman is
faithful to her nature, to her w
feminine beauty and wisdom and maj
esty, she will continue to in aspire
others to great deeds; but if she is
tender as well as beautiful, humble as
well as strong, compassionate as we'll
as wise, she will fulfill her vocation in
all its glory: she will do more than in
spire others, she will redeem them.

tails, ~orphanages, welfare work, cate
chetical instruction, guidance and
counselling, directly participate in the
redemption of others. They r 20

to appeal to the US. Supreme Court.
l am opposed to r g h t-to-work
legislation, but I am delighted that
the lam has been reversed in the
Acknowledgements case. Mitchell and
Mulgrew may be dead wrong about
right-to-work legislation, but, what
ever their motives for differing with
the union on this issue, they were
clearly within their rights in doing SO.
If the unions disciplinary action
against them had been supported by
the courts, the door would have been
thrown wide open to all sorts of
abuses, and even the best of unions
(and the an is one of the best)
might have been tempted, to enforce
a strict party line on all its men,
bers in the field of political action.
RIGHT-TO-WORK legislation is
not the only political issue on which
American unions have taken a firm
position. They feel just as strongly
about a number of other issues, and,
if the courts were to give them any
encouragement, they might be sorely
tempted to penalize any of their menu
bers who, for whatever reasons, jump
the traces and publicly break with
the party line.
In this connection, union officials
would be well advised, I think, to give
serious attention to a scholarly study
of the union security issue by Pro-
fessor Paul E. Sultan of Claremont

THE YARDSTICK

The international Association of
Machinists - one of the nations larg-
est and most responsible unions ex-
PEELED two of its members in 1858 for
publicly taking a position contrary to
that of the union on the subject of
right-to-work legislation.
THE TWO MEMBERS, Cecil c.
Mitchell and John Mulgrew, campaign
ed openly in 1858 for a proposed right
to-work law in California. The lam
opposed the law, which would have
outlawed the union shop.
Mitchell and Mulgrew appealed to
the courts for reinstatement and dam
ages. Their original suit was rejected
in the Superior Court in Los Angeles,
but the judgment of this court was
reversed by the State Court of APP
peals, and the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia declined to review the case.
Shortly thereafter the LAM belated-
ly decided to call it quits. Though the
association had previously announced
that it would carry the case all the
way to the US. Supreme Court, law
yers for the union announced a few
weeks ago that the organization had
decided to waive its opportunity of do

Editor:
The widespread reaction concerning
the recent Supreme Court decision on
prayer In public schools is not SUR
prising. Shocking as this ruling may
seem, IL ii erves TO awaken the Chris
tian majority into a realization that
we may be surrendering our American
heritage of Christian freedoms by de-
fault, then perhaps it Is a blessing in
disguise. While it is doubtless the
boldest, ii Is but one of a long series
of similar victories for the Goddess
forces who would destroy us.
ANOTHER decision written at
the same time directed the Post Office
to deliver specific obscene literature.
which it had refused. And still, this
seems to have stirred only a minimum
of concern.
These two efforts can certainly
serve as classic examples OF the power
of the individual. For 1t was through
the unceasing determination of five
parents that the prayer case was
brought before the court, and three
publishers were instrumental in secur-
ing the obscene literature ruling. The
effects of these decisions will go on re-
v~erberating throughout our land.
CAN WE, who are on Gods side,
be less dedicated? Every Catholic
knows that each of us has a personal
obligation to do his part, but he may
need help in recognizing his potential
as an individual to be an influence for
good. Everyone has many opportuni-
ties in his daily life but he needs
courage and confidence and a n of
mission to be effective in his efforts.
