Priest Objects to Oath Taken by Members of I. T. U.
Marshall, Mich., Aug. 31.-The Rev. Dr. P. A. Baart, rector of St. Mary's church of this city, in a sermon on education, said no Catholic could consistently take or keep the oath of some labor unions, and he mentioned particularly the typographical union, part of whose oath he quoted as follows:
"I hereby solemnly and sincerely swear that my fidelity to the typographical union and my duty to the members thereof, shall in no sense be interfered with by any allegiance that I may now or hereafter owe to any other organization, social, political or religious."
Father Baart said this oath placed the union before the church and before the state and distinctly impeached the loyalty and Catholicity of those who take such an oath.
