In the Pope'S encycical he dilateS at
great length on the labor question, the
relations between capital and labor,
and points out remedy for existing
evils. Briefly stated, that remedy Is:
CAPITAL and wOrkmen are each power
less without the other; neither should
iniure the other, and TO obtain respect
for their rights wOrkmen should abstain
from violence, not have recourse
10 seditiOn, nor listen to agitatOrS.
Masters should not abuse wOrkmen IN
humanely, but should recognize and re-
spect the individuality and dignity of
the man I'm each. Divine and human
law forbidS capital drawing profits from
the misery of the poor. The State ought
10 care for the wOrkmen, not let them
become the prey OF spectators, who
seek 10 get excessive and dishonest
profits An agreed salary should be
paid sufficient to enable the workmen TO
provide the neCeSSarieS of life;the master
and workmen should each execute his
part of the mutual obligations. Insti-
buttons for aiding the poor and prOduc-
ing reconciliation between the various
social classes are useful in obtaining
good results. Following this idea the
Pope particularly mentions associations
for SuccOr and insurance in case OF acct
dents, sickness and death, and the pro-
lection of children and girls. He thinks
the desired ends could be better
reached if both master and wOrkmen
belong TO the same order.
