Box 9503 Labor Expert Predicts Merger of Two Unions WASHINGTON — (NC) — An expert on international labor move ments predicted here that cooper ation will increase between a Christian international union and a major neutral one, eventually producing merger. William J. Mclntire, formerly with the U.S. Labor Department’s Bureau of International Labor Af fairs, was speaking about the In ternational Federation of Christian Trade Unions, known by its ini tials CISC in French, and the In ternational Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). MclNTiKE, who is now study ing to be a Maryknoll missioner, spoke to a seminar on internation al labor movements given under the auspices of the National Insti tute of Labor Education at the AFL-CIO headquarters here. Mclntire, who defended the for mation of specifically Christian trade unions in the late 19th cen tury, said, however, that conditions have changed today and that “po litical necessities and plain com mon sense” will dictate closer cooperation between Christian groups and so-called neutral asso ciations, such as the ICFTU. He saw the possibility that CISC will be incorporated into the ICFTU within the next decade or Nun Is State's Best MANCHESTER, N.H. —(NO Sister Mary Beatrice of St. Joseph high school for girls here, has been named as New Hampshire’s “outstanding biology teacher.” The Sister of Mercy was one of three teachers who became final ists in the competition sponsored under a program of the National Association of Biology. two. NOTING THE challenge to Christian social principles and the need for formation of Christian unions when CISC was formed, he said that today, however, “Chris tians and those who do not accept the church in Western Europe are no longer fighting among them selves, but against a common en emy.” He also said that a number of Catholics have been attempting to rethink their role in a pluralistic society. “Their conclusion,” he said, “has been that it is perfectly appropri ate, desirable and necessary to co operate with others who do not accept the Church to achieve the common good, as long as those oth ers concede td the Catholic the freedom to follow his own con science.” He pointed out that early Church approval of so-called “neutral” unions was shown in the 1880s when Cardinal James Gibbons, Archbishop of Baltimore, got ap proval by the Holy See of Cath olic participation in the Knights of Labor and subsequently in the American Federation of Labor. Corpus Christi The yearly Corpus Christi procession for the Raleigh Deanery will be held at 4 p.m. Sunday, June 17, at Im maculate Conception Church, Clinton. Residents of the Raleigh area are urged to attend and bring picnic lunches. Strike Help Is Sought In Spain MADRID — (NC) — The na tional boards of Catholic workers’ organizations are- calling for the return of “deportees, prisoners and those discharged” during strikes that tied up much of the industry of northern Spain for close to a month. The appeal is included in a re port on the labor situation, issued by the national commissions of the Young Christian Workers and the Catholic Action Workers Brother hoods (HOAC). The May 17 report, marked for “internal” distribution has now become public. Asserting that Catholic workers served as a genuine guiding factor between the various factions of the labor disputes, it holds that “militant Christian workers have at all times conducted themselves faithfully toward the Church and to the working class.” Strikes Illegal Strike^ are illegal in Spain, and the report asserts that many mil itant Catholic workers underwent “detention, deportation, searches . . . and at times even ill-treat ment” by those entrusted with curbing the strikes which involved an estimated 170,000 workers. It said also that some priests suffer ed because of their support of the strikers. (Seven priests are reported to have been arrested and taken to the central police station in San Sebastian; it was understood that they were released later. (In Barcelona it was reported that Manuel Verdera, a leader of the Catholic Action Workers Brotherhoods, was arrested with a number of Catalonian students in connection with strikes there. Search Tried (Barcelona police had tried earlier to search the quarters of Catholic Action, but quit the at tempt when Archbishop Gregorio Modrego, Bishop of Barcelona, in tervened.) The strikes, which originated among railroad workers and min ers in the Basque provinces and Asturias, spread to eight other pro vinces. Generalissimo Francisco Franco, in a public speech on May 27, blamed both the Catholic work ers’ organizations, which he said were “made parasitical” through infiltration, and also “the excesses of some separatist Basque priests or the clericalistie errors of some other hot-headed priests. In their report analyzing the situation, the boards of the YCW and the Workers Brotherhoods See Strike Help, page 7A ST. STEPHEN THE MARTYR Church, Sanford, overlooking Bypass U.S. 1, was dedicated last Sunday, June 10, by Bishop Vincent S. Waters.

BISHOP’S RESIDENCE 600 Bilyeu Street Raleigh, North Carolina June 4, 1962 My Dear Brethren: Over the centuries the Holy See has been supported and helped in its wonderful work for the Church by various charitable projects initiated by the Supreme Pontiffs. War, pestilence, and poverty striking in many mission countries in recent years have made the charitable work of the Holy Father most demanding. The Holy Father has appealed to us in America to assist in this wonderful work for the Universal Church. By par ticipating in it, we join ourselves by even stronger bonds to the visible head of the Church on earth, and to the other _members of the Mystical Bodu.—At-the same-the splrtf in which we contribute is recognized by the Invisible Head of the Church, Christ Himself, and by the Holy Spirit, the Soul of that Church, Who is present in each member. As we hope to receive a spiritual reward for our good works on earth, the people of the Diocese of Raleigh will join on June 17th in assisting in the work of our Holy Father. As we help the visible head of the Church and our visible members by our sacrifices, we will remember the members of the Mystical Body in Purgatory and ask the intercession of the Saints in Heaven for this portion of that Body which is Christ in North Carolina. Hoping and praying that we will always strengthen in every way the bonds of charity and be deepened in the ap preciation of our Faith, I remain Sincerely yours in Christ, Bishop of Raleigh Sixty College Girls Help In CCD Program RALEIGH —■ Sixty volunteers from 12 Catholic Colleges for women participated in a three-day orientation program at the Cath olic Orphange at Nazareth June 6 through 9, under the direction of the Mission Helpers of the Sacred Heart.
