(Continued From Firs t_Page.) blic order, peace and tranquillity the g‘ofld over.” i Class Exclusion Opposed. Distribution of wealth, he said, must be such that “the common good of all, of which Pope Leo XIII spoke, will be promoted. In other words, the good of whole communities must be safe- guarded. By these principles of social Justice one class is forbidden to -exclude another from a share in the profits: “This sacred law is violated by the Tl f many artisans and small shopkeepers. ‘?g:t it is wrong to abuse the tender years of children or the weakness of women. Mothers will, above all, devote their work ':i th!él’mhomu and the things connect ith them. “Intolerable and to be opposed with all our strength is the abuse whereby ‘mothers of families, because of the in- sufficlency of the father's salary are forced to engage in gainful occupations outside the domestic walls to the neglect of their own cares and duties, g:'.lcuhfly the ;zm:lmm of their chil- n. “Every effort must be made, there- fore, that the fathers of families re- celve a wage sufficient to meet ade- quately the ordinary domestic needs. Reforms Held Necessary. “If in the present state of society this is not always feasible, social justice de- mands that reforms be introduced with- out delay which will guarantee every adult working man just such a wage. “In this connnection we might utter a frresponsible wealthy class which, in the excess of its good fortune, deems it a | de: just state of things that it should re- ceive everything and the laborer noth- ing. It is violated also by the un- propertied wage-earning class which demands for itself all the fruits of pro- duction as being the work of its hands.” In this connection he concludes: “Each class then must receive its due share, and the distribution of created goods must be brought into conformity with the demands of the common good and social justice. “For every sincere observer is con- scious that there are vast differences between the few who hold excessive * wealth and the many who live in desti- tution. These constitute a grave evil in modern soclety.” Workers' Condition Improved. The conditign of the working man has been improved in many respects, he said, but there is an immense army of rural Jaborers whose condition is de- pressed in the extreme and who have nohoyso{ev!robflhhulshlrem 1 3 m’e"m.:‘se. unless efficacious remedies are wage the he superabundant riches of the fortunate few on the other is an ¢ unanswerable argument that the earthly goods so abundantly produced in this age of industrialism are far from rightly dfiflbuud and equitably shared among - rding “We feel bound to add that to our knowl- ged | edge there are some who fear that the Soppet: | private initiative, instead of limiting it- serving le: | rather than contributing to the initia- | Marion Brown, owner of lunch room at 15 gelling said lunch room All_persons having claims id Marion Brown she DI rt W.

MEtro. 1843, law, This B les act called uj Catholics who have be- d :.de:vmwlube word of praise for the various systems vised and attempted in practice by | which an increased wage is paid in view | of increased family burdens, and spe- | cial provision is made for special ne However, the Pope said, “it would be unjust to demand wages so high that the employer cannot &:y them without fuin and consequent distress among the working pecple themselves. “If & business makes smaller profits on account of bad management, want of enterprise or out-of-date methods, this is not a just reason for reducing wages. If, however, a business does not make enough money to pay a just wage either because it is overwhelmed with_ unjust burdens or because it is compelled to sell its products at unjustly low prices, those who injure it are guilty of a griev- ous wrong for it is they who deprive the working man of his just wage and force him to accept lotver terms. “Let the employers therefore and the employed join in their plans and efforts to overcome all difficulties and obstacles and let them be aided in this wholesome endeavor by wise measures of public authority. Urges Christian Harmony. “In the last extreme, counsel must be taken whether the business man can continue or whether some other pro- vision should be made for the workers. The guiding spirit in this crucial de- cision should be one of mutual under- standing and Christian harmony be- tween the employers and the workers.” ‘The Pope said two things are particu- larly necessary—“Reform of the social order and correction of morals.” Because of the evils of individualism, he sald, the social life “has been dam- aged and all but ruined, leaving vir- tually only individuals and the state.” Changed conditions have resulted in large corporations doing what formerly was done by small , but “just as it is wrong to withdraw from the in- dividual and commit to the community at large what private enterprise and in- dustry can accomplish, so, t0o, it is a grave evil and a disturbance of the right order corporate and employes, the Pope dis- ::I‘POG it, listing its advantages and dis- ed briefly this form of organ- under which the state - the syndicate, of m(’mwdi- tel hinery for fixing wages, definitely forbids strikes and lockouts, and ad- justs disputes through the state au- reflection is required,” said the perceive the n;l“v;nu'u o!‘n“-i its disadvantages, he said, state is substituting itself in place of self to necessary and sufficlent help and assistance. “It is feared that the new syndical and tive institution possesses ex- cessive ucratic and political char- acter, and that notwithstanding general advartages referred to above, it risks lar political aims tion of a better social order.” Condemns Cultural Socialism. ‘The difference between the Catholic and Soclalist viewpoints, he said, is that the former holds that man was | placed on earth to attain temporal | and eternal happiness by faithfully fulfilling the duties of his station and developing his faculties to praise the | glory of the Creator. Socialism, he said, is not concerned with this sublime end and affirms that living in community was instituted merely for the sake of the advantages which it to mankind. The condemned the new doctrine of cultural socialism and come to return to the church. The longed-for social reconstruction, he said, must be by a profund renewal of the spirit “‘from which multitudes engaged in industry | in every country have unhappily de- parted.” othe% he said, all en- utile, Snares Laid for Frality. ‘The condition of the economic . | increase their profits and to safeguard ANTED—FULL OR P} he Delow leted. cios To or irom New York To or from Boston To or from Chicago To or 8t Touis Ma GRETHOUND VANS. ‘Adums 6ot WIN WILL BE feschiler’s Public Auction for char o8 June 1: iter weky—Hudson Sedan.

All created goods, he said, are mere instruments under God to be used only insofar as they help toward attain- ment of our supreme end. Nevertheless, he said, “Those en- gaged in production are not forbidden to increase their fortunes in lawful and just manner. Indeed it is just that he Wwho renders service to soclety and de- velops its wealth should himself have his proportionate share of the in- creased public riches, provided always that he respects the laws of God and the rights of his neighbor and uses his property in accord with faith and right reason.” In effecting this reform the Pope em- phasized that charity must play & lead- ing part because justice alone, although it can remove the causes of social strife, never can bring t a union of hearts and minds. The Church of Christ, he said. has nothing to fear even were the social order which spurns the laws of nature and of God permitted to prevail. ‘The Pope closed his encyclican with an appeal for intimate union and har- mony between all good men. “Let not urge their own ideas with undue persistence,” he said, “but be ready to abandon them, however admirable, should the ter com- mon good seem to require it, that in -nl and above all Christ may reign and rule.” He ended with his apostolic benedic- tion, particularly for workingmen and employes. Divided in Three Parts. ‘The encyclical was divided into three major , the first dealing with the great efits of Pope Leo's rerum novarum, the fundamental principles of which, he said, merely need new application to modern conditions. second was a vindication of those principles which sometimes have been attacked and the third an arraignment of modern economics, an analysis present disorders and suggestions for their remedy. ‘Workingmen, said Pjus, suffered greatly at the time of Pope Leo's ency- clical, when they constituted “a class of men who, owing to the expansion of modern industry, had enormously in- creased in numbers, but whose rightful position in society m‘nnm. yet been ence ‘were o_?jecu of much neglect and con- encyclical quoted Pope Leo's principle that civil power is more than a mere guardian of law and order, adding “the duty of the rulers is to aban- “it is ‘This of | watch, wné awarded for the ninth time protect elements, and in of individuals they must have 1 regard for the infirm and the n i Standard for Nations. Pope Leo’s encyclical he firmly de- clared to be, in the words of Isaiah, in the g‘“ ‘World War, treaties in which “many of the conclusions agreed so perlec:iy with seem rerum novarum, said Pope Pius, “truly Christian social sclence” which was fostered, enriched and taught to the world in many in- ammm and spread by many publica- lons. The authority of the church to deal ;1%1 social problems was strongly up- eld. “We lay down the principles, long since clearly established by Pope Leo XIII that it is our right and our duty to deal authoritatively with social and economic problems,” the Pope said: Looks to Eternal Happiness. “It is not, of course, the office of the Church to lead men to transient perishable happiness only, but to that which is eternal; indeed the Church believes it would be wrong for her to interfere without just cause in such earhtly concerns, but she never can re- ! linquish her God-given task of inter- g:m‘ her authority, not, indeed, in hnical matters for which she has neither the equipment nor the mission, but in all those which have a bearing on moral conduct.” The Pope sald he looked forward con- fidently “to the complete and much de- sired renewal of human soclety.” Associations of working men, he said, provide glad signs of the coming social reconstruction because they coniain masses of young workers who listen readily to the call of divine grace. “Nowadays, as more than once in the history of the church,” he said, “we are confronted with a world which in large measure has almost fallen back into paganism.” The course to be followed, he said, is the creation and training of the lay -rodn ate among workingmen and em- ployers.
