TO Be READ
To CATHOLIC SUNDAY,
PLEADS FOR UNITY

Approximately 1000 Richmond per-
sons will hear an appeal for an under
standing between labor and capital.
because leach needs the other" and
"are bound by mutual obligations, not
simply by mutual interests or needs,'
in the two Roman Catholic churches
of the city Sunday. 1t will also be
read in other Catholic churches of the
United States.
The appeal is made in a pastoral
letter of the Roman Catholic arch
bishops and bishops of the United
States to the clergy and laity.
Besides the labor question it deals
with other vital topics Of the day. 1t
is the first of its kind in 35 years.
'The right Of labor to a living wage,
with decent maintenance for the pres
ent and provision for the future, is
recognized generally" the letter says.
"The right of capital to fair days
work and for fair days pay is equal
ly plain" it continues. I'VE are con-
fident the good sense of our people
will find a way out of the present sit
uation.
Americas greatest opportunity
must not be sacrificed to selfish aims
or partisan interests. We made war
upon greed and selfish ambition. We
shall not let them triumph within our
borders"
Condemns Pleasure Craze
The letter also condemns the "craze
for pleasure" saying that a people
that lives on excitement and sensation
soon will lose it's moral fiber 1t also
says that neither custom nor fashion
can justify sin.
Beside making an appeal for an un-
derstanding between labor and capi-
tai. the letter appeals for the protec-
| ton of the immigrants from influences
which would make them enemies of
| law, order and religion
The laxity Of the divorce laws in
! the United States is also scored in the
| letter, which says:
1.-THE Catholic church does not sane
| tion divorce in the absolute sense
which permits either party to remarry
during the lifetime of the other. The
ease and frequency with which divorce
of this kind is granted make it a
national scandal"
