Catholics

ST. PAUL, Minn. ~ (ANP) ~
Joseph Albright, member of the
St. Paul Trades and Labor assembly, representing the St. Peter.
Claver parish of St. Paul, told the
Eucharistic congress, employees
section, in the Grace Building in
the Minnesota State fairgrounds;
~There cannot, be final solution to
the problem of securing full rights
in the struggle for those rights.~

Expressly dwelling upon the Negro labor, Albright further stated,
~If the survival of democracy depends on the possibility of labor to
subsist on a decent scale of living,
then that ability in turn will be
for labor until alk labor is included
contingent upon the sincerity with
which this scale of living is sought
for all, and all alike, be they black
or white.~

At the ~nd of Albright~s brief but
pointed remarks; which evoked
tremendous applause from the
packed audience of priests and laity
he turned to the Most Rev. Karl J.
Alter, D. D., Bishop of. Toledo, who
had deliyered the principal address
of the evening, and asked for a definite expression from the church
on this question. *

Albright said ~Millions. of Negroes in America are awaiting a
word from the Catholic church re
garding its stand on the matter of
racial discrimination in the field

In reply to the question, the
bishop forcefully attacked racial
discrimination in every field of hu
man activity and especially in the
ranks of labor, citing the complete brotherhood in the ritual of
the Catholic conimunion as proof of
the church~s coimplete and thorough recognition of mankind~s
equality in Christ; warning, however, that good great social ~

are matters of spiritual rather than
material movements and must be
brought about through a
and understanding.

He cited the long record of the
church in its relentless war on social inequalities and pledged a continuance of the fight in increasing
