UnofficialStrike May,themerrymonth, willberememberedin thiscityforitssunshine, theSpringShow,aFrench Festivalthatincluded policemenfromPariscontrollingthetraffic,butit willberememberedmost foranunofficialbusstrike thatbroughtDublinersto theirfeetwithoutwarning.

Alongthehotpavements, enroutetotheSpringShow inthesuburbofBallsbridge, ...manypeopletrekked,footsore.andhopeful,toattend theShow,oneofthetwobig Showsoftheyearrunby theRoyalDublinSocietytheotheristhefamousDublinHorseShoweachfirst weekofAugust-forthe benefitofagricultureand industryandtothedelight -ofchildrenwhocollectleafletsattradestands.

Youmightthinkthata busstrikewouldlessentrafficproblems,butitincreased them;motor-carsofallvintageswereonthestreets, someofthemtryingtopark atbus-stops,andsome driversavertingtheireyes frombus-stopsalongtheir journeysbecausetherewere pedestriansseekinglifts.

Manymotoristsarenot insuredtocarrypassengers, andthegooddeedthey mightdobypickingupa pedestrianmightbeundone byafatalcrash.

Thestrikesituationitself hadunusuallyserious undertones;sixmenhad beendismissedonthespot bythenationaltransport undertaking,theStatesponsoredC.LE.,forrefusingto single-deckertourbuses, No,arguingthattheyrequired conductors.

Theyhadinstructions fromtheirtradeunionnot

totakeoutsuchbuses,and thedisputehasbeengoing onforyears.Sofar,soclear; butinsteadofwaitingfor theiruniontoserveanominalseven-daysstrikenotice, Dublin'sbusmenwenton strikeovernight.Manyof themwerequitehostilenext dayastheymarchedto unionheadquartersanddemandedtheiruniontoback them.

Buttheunionsaidno;it gavesevendaysnoticeof strikeactionforareasoutsideDublin,andleftthe Dublinsituation,inwhich themenwereunoffie,aliyon strike,alone.

ThereareintheStatea numberofnormalchannels forsettlingdisputes;oneis theLabourCourt,which doesnotimposeasolution, buthearsbothsidesandrecommendsasolution.

Buttheserioussocial aspectwasthat3,000Dublin busmenwerenowadrift fromtheirunion,thepowerfulIrishTransportand GeneralWorkers'Union.

Intothepicttirecametwo Dublinpriests,championsof Catholicsocialprinciples, andtheyplayedamostusefulpartinfindingaformula bywhichtheunofficial strikerswouldgobackto workandtheunionwould dealwiththeirproblemin thenormalway,withguaranteesagainstvictimisationorlossofincome.

Aballotbytheunofficial strikersonthisformularesultedinanovernightreturntowork.Meantime, strikenoticesintheproper formwereinexistencefor therestofthecountry,and thesix-markquestionwas whethertheunionwould nowserveaweek'snotice forDublin,too,bringing passengersontotheirfeet againiftheoriginaldispute wasnotsettled.

Meantime,however,betweenthestartoftheDublinstrikeandthereturnto work,menhadbeensacked

intheprovincesforrefusing totakeoutconduetorless single-deckertourbuses.

Thefirm'sview:Thatin Britainandothercountries, andontourbuseswhich cometoIrelandfromBritain,thereisnoconductor, andthatC.I.E.mustbeable tocompeteequallywith theminsteadofhavingto paya"ghost"conductor whohasnoworktodo,accordingtothecompany.It guaranteednoonewould sufferfinancially.

AsIwrite,Dublinisjust backonbuses,afterits seven-daywalk,andgratefulforthegoodinfluences thatfoundthewaybackfor theunofficialstrikers,ata meetinginthehallofSt. Andrew'sCatholicChurch, WestlandRow.

Whatnow?Sevendays notice,intheofficialmanner,forDublin,tobringit intolinewiththerestofthe country?Thesamegoodinfluencesarestillatworkin oneofthemosttangled labodr-relationsproblemsof -recentyears,butonceagain theapplicationofCatholic socialprinciplesisexpected toprevail,

Thecourseofeventsin theunofficialstrikeisone moreindicationoftheclose andrealisticrelationshipbetweenDublinclergyand workers.Theconfidenceof bothtradeunionsandemployersinthosewhoteach Catholicsocialprinciplesis asteadyingfactorirlabour relations. .Thetwopriestswho playedinimportantpartin reunitingtheunionandthe strikerswereRev.J.Kavanagh,LecturerinEconomics atUniversityCollege,Dublin,aconstituentcollegeof theNationalUniversityof Ireland,andRev.E.J.Kent, S.J.,oftheCatholicWorkers'College.Both,withthe JointSecretaryoftheIrish CongressofTradeUnions (Mr.LeoCrawford),were calledintoseethesettlementformulavotedon. Thesethreesupervisedthe countingofthevotes,which favouredthereturntowork bytheunofficialstrikers and,therefore,areturnto normalunionchannels.

R.:Catholicsknowquitewelltheteachingofthe CatholicChurchthatcontraceptivebirthcontrolisa gravesinagainstthelawofGod.IfsomeProtestants persuadethemselvesthatcontraceptivebirthcontrolis permissibleandindulgeinthepractice,thefactthat theirsensibilitiesarehurtbecauseCatholicsrefuseto shareinsuchself-deceptionandstillsaythatcontraceptivebirthcontrolisimmoral,Catholicssurelyare nottoblameforthat.AsforthereasoningsuchProtestantsoffertojustifytheirposition,itisonlytoo clearlya-rationalisation,"anargumentbased,noton thenatureofcontraceptivebirthcontrolinitself,but onthefactthattheywanttopractiseitwithoutthe uncomfortablefeelingofguiltindoingso,Ispeakof "someProtestants,"forastheAnglicanCanonBelton writes:"Itoughtnottobetoohastilyassumedthat conscientiousChristianshavesurrenderedtheirconvictionstopopularopinion."

Q.:Whatdeterminesmorality,theCouncilsaid,isnot the"means,"butthe"motive."

R.:Thatisadreadfulstatement.Atonetimeitwas astockchargeagainsttheCatholicChurch-andafalse one-thatsheisutterlyunscrupulous,teachingthat "theendjustifiesthemeans"regardlessofthenature ofthemeansemployed.YetherethisProtestant Councilproclaimsthatdoctrineasitsown!Whatthe Councilhasoverlookedisthat,whilemotive,purpose orintentionisonedeterminingfactorinmorality,itis nottheonlyone.Theverynatureofanactioninitself isalsoadeterminingfactor.Abadmotivecanmake evenagoodactionbad;butagoodmotivecannotmake abadactiongood.Fonexample,itisagoodthingin itselfforawealthymantogivefinancialhelptoapoor family.Butifinrealitythewealthymanisacriminal andhismotiveisonlytoputthefatherofthefamily inhisdebtsothathecanusehimasanassistantin criminalenterprises,thebadmotiverendershisapparentgenerositymorallyevil.Ontheotherhand,a seeminglygoodmotivecannotrenderabadactiongood.

NECESSITYOF "BEINGSAVED"

IlLARRICKVILLE,asks: Dowehavetobe"saved" beforewecanrester'the KingdomofHeaven?

R.:Wecertainlyhaveto besavedfromoursinsby securingGod'sforgiveness ofthemifwewanttoattain toeternalhappinessin Heaven.Thatforgivenessis madepossibleforusthrough Christ,WhodiedforourredemptiononCalvary.We speakofJesus,therefore,as ourSaviour;andwereadSt. Peter'swordsintheNew Testament:"Thereisno othernameunderheaven giventomenwherebywe mustbesaved"(Acts4:12).

WAYOFSALVATION

Q.:Ifso,what1,,thewayof salvation?

R.:JesusHimselfsaid:"I amtheWay,theTruthand theLife"(Jn.14:6).We must,therefore,accept Christ,followHisteachings andletHim,ruleourlives. Hisfirstandbasicmessage was:"Repent,andbelieve thegospel"(Mark1:15). Afterall;evenGOcannot forgiveusoursinsifweare
