REPEAL RIGHT TO WORK’
U.S. House Votes End To
Union Shop Restrictions
WASHINGTON (NC) — The
House of Representatives has
voted to strike down that Sec
tion of the Taft-Hartley Act of
1947 which allows individual
states to outlaw union shops.
The proposal to repeal the
so-called "right to work”
clause, long a subject of'debate:
among American Catholics,
passed the House by a vote of 221
to 203 after Democratic for
ces accepted procedural rules
that impeded Republican ef
forts to amend the bill.
A similar bill designed to re
peal section I4-B of the 1947
law has been introduced in the
Senate. It appears unlikely,
however, the Senate will act on
the measure this year.
AT THE PRESENT ti»ie there>
are 19 states with right-to-work
laws on their books. In effect,
they forbid the creation of un
ion shops, places of employ
ment at which workers are com
pelled to join unions within a
certain period—usually 30 days
—after being hired.
The laws, and the federal
legislation that permits them,
have been bitterly opposed by
organized labor. Most of the
states that still have right-to-
work laws are agricultural
states.
The House vote (July 28)
came after the majority defeat
ed an amendment proposed by
Rep. Edith Green of Oregon to
exempt persons whose churches
have forbidden them to join
unions from union shop agree
ments. She said the bill being
considered by the House showed
a "lack of sensitivity” and a
"total disregard for others’
deep held beliefs."
REP. GREEN said the Sev
enth-Day Adventists, the Amish,
the Mennonites and other re
ligious groups forbid faithful
to become union members. She
argued that such people would
face the "cruel choice” of
giving up their jobs or violat
ing their religious beliefs.

Labor subcommittee, support
ing the bill but’asking the leg
islators to find a formula that
would take into account the
needs of religious objectors.
The three were the Rev. Cam
eron Hall, director of the com
mission on church and economic
life of the National Council of
Churches of Christ; Msgr.
George G. Higgins, director of
the Social Action Department of
the National Catholic Welfare
Conference; and Rabbi Richard
Hirsch of the Central Confer
ence of American Rabbis.
American Catholics have long
been divided over the need for
’right-to-work’ laws. A large
percentage of Church leaders
have expressed the opinion that
such laws are improper and
perhaps immoral.
Thps®' Who favor' r'ighf-to-
work laWS' drgCe'that the vejry
notion v of' compulsory union
membership violates the right
of an individual to join or not to
join an organization. They
maintain it is especially wrong
to require workers to join un
ions that may be run by gan-
sters or communists.
FATHER Edward A. Keller,
C.S.C., a University of Notre
Dame economist, has stated
that right-to-work laws are not
only good but are “absolutely
necessary because of the spir
itual dangers to workmen forced
by compulsory unionism to be
long to immoral unions.”
Father Keller is echoed by
Father John E, Coogan, S.J.,
of the Bellarmine School of The
ology, North Aurora, HI., in a
pamphlet entitled "Voluntary
Unionism for Free Americans”
distributed by the National Right
to Work Committee, Father
Coogan states that the laws are
necessary as an "escape from
union tyranny.”
Catholic advocates of the
right-to-work laws also base
their arguments of papal pro
nouncements endorsing Cath
olic unions and merely tolerat
ing so-called "neutral”unions.
THOSE WHO oppose right-
to-work laws disagree with all
these arguments. They contend,
for instance, that the right to
work is no more absolute than
man’s right to drive an automo
bile, In both cases he is bound
by restrictions and limitations.
Msgr. Higgins put it this way:
"Man is more than an individ
ual; he is also a member ofso-
ciety...,For this reason, the
rules necessary for harmonious
social living can be binding
laws, not merely optional regu-
lations.,..The common good of
industrial society may demand
that individuals conform to
rules laid down for the good of
all.”
This opinion is similar to one
expressed by Archbishop Henry
J. O’Brien of Hartford, Conn.,
in 1957.
FOES OF right-to-work con
cede that some unions may be
corrupt or boss-ridden. But
they maintain that right-to-
work laws which punish good
unions do not solve the prob
lem. The Catholic bishops of
Ohio declared: "There are cer
tain . abuses which sometimes
creep into the labor movement,
but...right-to-work laws are not
the proper means to correct
them.”
Turning to positive argu
ments, right-to-work opponents
state that the lack of compul
sory unionism stands to benefit
only "freeloaders”— those
who don’t pay union dues but who
reap all the union benefits (since
a-tmion by law must represent
‘ all' worker s -irir' its bargaining
unif; Whether ihembers or not).
CASTEL GANDOLFO(NC)—
Returning to a favorite theme of
recent months, Pope Paul VI
has called for greater docility
and humility in accepting the
doctrine and discipline of the
Church.
He condemned the spirit of
"radical reformism” as well
as the conservative hesitancy
to accept new things the e-
cumenical council has pro
posed.
Speaking to those at a public
audience at his summer resi
dence (July 28), the Pope said
it is necessary to maintain a
state of "spiritual vigilance”
if the council is to achieve its
purpose. He defined this state
of mind as one that is cau
tious, informed, trustful, hum
ble, and that has the ability to
rejoice in the new things the
council may bring.
"WE WOULD not charac
terize as equally in harmony
with the spirituality of the coun
cil the attitude of those who
take occasion of the problems
it raises and the controversy
it generates to arouse in them
selves and in others the spirit
of disquiet and radical refor
mism, both in doctrine and dis
cipline, ” he said, adding:
"As if the council were the
opportune occasion to question
dogmas and laws which the
Church has inscribed on the
tablets of its fidelity to Christ
had given authorization to very
individual’s judgement to de
spoil the patrimony of the
Church of all acquisitions its
long history and proven exper
ience have given it in the course
of centuries!”
He continued: "Perhaps they
would like the Church tobecome

an infant again,forgettlng Jesus
has likended the kingdom of
heaven to a tiny seed that must
grow and become a burgeoning
tree, and that He foretold the
development through the work of
the Holy Spirit of the doctrine
He had taught.
"PERHAPS they would prefer
that to be authentic the true
Church must be content with
what they define as essential-
in other words, the Church must
be content with what they de
fine as essential — in other
words, the Church must be re
duced to a skeleton only, and
it must renounce its role as
a living body, growing and o-
perative, not only hypotheti
cal or idealized but real and hu
man In the living experience
of history,”
Pope Paul said those reluc
tant to accept the changes de
creed by the ecumenical coun
cil are also false interpreters
of orthodoxy.
These people, he said, are
suspicious of the council de
liberations and accept only
those things they judge to be
valid, "as if it were permitt
ed to doubt their authority, and
as if deference to the will of
the council could be limited to
those things which do not de
mand any adaptation of one’s
own mentality, but which merely
confirm one’s viewpoint.
"THERE IS not sufficient
cons ideratlon given to the fact,"
he said, “that when the teach
ing Church speaks officially,
all must become disciples.”
Pope Paul confided that the
council was causing him "great
concern and anxious solicitude"
because of the many and im
portant subjects to be covered
"as well as the fact that with
the coming session the council
officially will come to an end,”
and because of the immense task
of following up the council.
Hie Council, he said, is not
the exclusive concern of the
Pope and the bishops. "It must
concern the entire people of
God, the entire Church—in a
very different way, as you well
know, but with a communion of
sentiments and with the soli
darity of practical attitudes.
"BECAUSE the community of
the faithful is receptive of truths
of the faith, because the teach
ing office of the Church—the
custodian and interpreter of di
vine revelation proposes these
truths, and because the com
munity of the faithful then be
comes the custodian and wit
ness of these same truths, there
is produced in the souls of good
sons and daughters of the
Church a state of expectation,
of suspension, of judgement, of
openness and active fervor on
which depend to a great extent
the fruit of the council.
"It is this spiritual attitude,,
which those who have a re
sponsible voice in the council
and those who must listen to
such voices and made them their
own can offer to the happy out
come of the council.”
Pope Paul ended with a plea
for prayers for the council’s
success—’* a precious colla
boration which each of the faith
ful can offer."
