Council’s fourth session this fall.

tendance supported the idea on a
show of hands.
The Rev. Robert Alley of the
University of Richmond, Va., had
urged an “open-minded approach
to a subject we cannot, we dare
not, ignore.”
But opponents of the plan sajd
it would bring about Southern
Baptist involvement in the ecu
menical movement.
The delegates strongly endorsed
a resolution on integration prepar
ed by the denomination’s Christian
life Commission.
NCWC Social Action Official
Backs 'Riaht to Work' Repeal
Washington — (NC) — The di
rector of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference’s Social Action
Department has endorsed the ad
ministration’s proposal to repeal
the Taft-Hartley Act’s “right to
work” section.
Msgr. George G. Higgins, testi
fying before the House Education
and Labor Committee, said so
called right to work laws are po
litically, socially, economically and
ethically unsound.
He said in his testimony, “I am
speaking in the name of (the So
cial Action) department and not
in the name of the Administrative
Board of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference or in the
name of the body of American
bishops.”
Msgr. Higgins said such right to
work laws “do not provide jobs for
workers: they merely prevent
workers from building strong and
stable unions.”
Right to work laws, barring la
bor-management agreements mak
ing union membership a condition
of employment, are authorized by
Section 14-b of the Taft-Hartley Act
of 1947. Nineteen states have such
laws.
Msgr. Higgins said the pressure
for them “does not arise from
workers seeking their ‘rights.’ ”
“PROPONENTS of these meas
ures are uniformly employers’ or
ganizations and related groups,”
he said. “Often such laws are part
of a program by underdeveloped
states seeking to attract industry
by the lure of a docile and low
paid labor force.”
He rejected the argument of
states’ rights raised in support of
these laws, saying there are
“strong reasons why states should
not regulate labor matters where
interstate commerce is involved.”
“The greatness of our economy
is attributable in no small meas
ure to the absence of trade bar
riers and the presence of uniform
conditions of commerce among
the several states of the Union,”
he said. “Measures which would
destroy this uniformity and erect
barriers would be contrary to the
general welfare.”
Msgr. Higgins also denied that

compulsory union membership is
“contrary to the American tradi
tion of freedom,” calling this as
sertion a “political slogan” and
“dangerously false.”
PEOPLE WHO make this argu
ment, he said, are “claiming for
workers a freedom which the lat
ter do not desire.” He noted that
in nearly 50,000 secret elections,
workers had voted in favor of the
union shop 97 percent of the time.
As for the argument that com
pulsory union membership con
tributes to “abuses of unionism,
such as autocracy, dissipation of
funds and racketeering,” he ac
knowledged that this claim has “a
basis in fact.”
“But the remedy for abuses
within a union is not a measure
which weakens a union in its le
gitimate functions , . . When a
useful and proper form of ac
tivity is occasionally abused, the
remedy is to attack the abuse di
rectly, and not abolish the activity
itself,” he said.
Turning to the arguments id
vor of compulsory union memi.
ship, Msgr. Higgins said that'
a great majority of cases it i
tributes to peaceful and h«
nious labor relations.” He ad

ically required to join an or

Preface in Vernacular
Is Approved by Pope
Vatican City — (NC) — Per
mission to have the preface of the
Mass in the vernacular instead of
Latin is now being granted for
countries whose bishops’ confer
ences request it.
Pope Paul VI approved the new
concession April 27, it was re
vealed here in Notitiae, the bulle
tin of the postconciliar Consilium
for the Implementation of the Lit
urgy Constitution.
In a report on liturgical prog
ress in the United States in the
same issue of the bulletin, Joseph
Cardinal Ritter of St. Louis said
that permission for the preface in
English would be a “significant.
move” toward relating “the n|
of the faithful more clearly to |
sacred action of the Mass.”
When it was set up a year
a half ago, the consilium inii
held that it could confirm
quests by bishops’ conferences
the vernacular only for the p*
pie’s prayers, such as the intrd
gloria, creed and communion, i
them, and for the Lord’s Prays
But Pope Paul in the spring of 1961
granted permission for it to ap
prove bishops’ joint requests lor
the vernacular for three prayen
of the Mass which are reserved'
to the priest—the collect, prays
over the offerings (secret praya)
and postcommunion.

What Gan Mary
Buy
For A Penny?
A piece of gum or candy or a balloon, perhajp. Now
adays there are not many items a penny-conscious little
girl can buy for one cent.
While Mary thinks in terms of pennies, her Mother's
thoughts are about dollars. There is one area, however,
where Mom may very well think in terms of pennies, too.
For example, a penny buys enough electricity to oper
ate television for two hours, a radio or sewing machine
for seven hours, a vacuum cleaner for one hour or a
100-watt lamp for more than five hours.
Mary's penny spent for electricity today buys more
than half again as much electric service as a penny did
25 years ago when her Mom was a little girl. In Carolina
she gets more electricity for a penny than most people
who live other places in the United States. The average
price which CP&L customers pay for electrictiy they use
in their homes is about 22 percent below the national
average.
