BOSTON, Mass. — His Eminence
William Cardinal O’Connell, Arch
bishop of Boston, urged leaders in fi
nance and industry to busy them
selves in averting “the castastrophe
that threatens” as a result of unem
ployment. His Eminence pressed his
plea in an address before 4,000 per
sons who attended the Mass in the
Cathedral of the Holy Cross celebrat
ed in connection with the conven
tion of the American Federation of
Labor. Cardinal O’Connell also de
livered the invocaton at the opening
session eof the convention.
The Mass was attended by William
Green, president of the Federation,
Mayor Curley of Boston, Count de
Martine, the Italian Ambassador, and
a large group of Federation officials.
Cardinal O'Connell, in his addre .,
recalled that Pope Leo XIH’s famous
encyclical on Labor called to Capital
and Labor “to cease their bitter fra
tricidal strife and come to terms of
understanding and cooperation.” The
encyclical, His Eminence said, served
to make the laboring man conscious
of the “dignity of his life” and to
evoke respect for his rights from
others.
“Now is the time for those who con
trol industry, those who control tire
banking system, “His Eminence said,
“to stop and think that, united, and
cooperating with this great movement
which is going on for the welfare of
the whole Nation, we may avert in
some measure at least the catastrophe
that threatens.”
“But in these days the laboring
man has a voice that must be heard.
My dear men of the Federation of
Labor lift up your hearts and thank
God and ask Him to preserve you
from the greed of the rich, the heart
less rich. Not the rich who have
plenty and who are all the time try
ing to do something for their neigh
bor. God bless them. I am talking
about the greedy, wealthy, heartless
rich, and there are such.”
The Cardinal lauded the principles
upon which the American Federation
of Labor was founded and declared
that they are essentially the same as
those propounded by the late Pope
Leo Xin in his encyclical.
