Address by the Archbishop at
Chicago.
Duty of the Rich Man Toward the
Hewers of Wood and Drawers
of Water.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-At the Worlds
Labor Congress tonight Archbishop Ire
land made an address. his subject being
The Catholic Church and the Labor
Question" Among those on the platform
were Samuel GOmpers. president of the
American Federation of Labor, and dele
gates from the Social Democratic Fedora
tion OF Great Britain.
The Archbishop -JcYysn- by saying that
the cause of labor had been espoused by
the Catholic church and added: "At the
very foundation of the labor question lies
the proper appreciation OF the ind vidual
man. Religion says Leo XIII, teaches
the rich man and the employer that the
working people are not their slaves; that
they must respect in every man his dig
nifty as man and as Christian; that
labor is nothing to be ashamed OF, but
is honorable employment, enabling man to
sustain his life In an upright and credit
able way, and that it is shameful and

The right of each man to obtain from
his labor sufficiency wherewith to live
in reasonable and frugal comfort implies
the antecedent right to the opportunity to
work. Society is bound to provide for the
needy who are willing to labor and can
find no work. and this duty of society is
not one of charity but of justice"
