Turning to the problem of industrial unrest, the Arch- bishop
said that the message of the Church was twofold. To employers it said, " Get into personal touch with your men, see the conditions of their work and of their home life with your own eyes, think out your wage problem from their standpoint." To the workman it said : " Try to understand how business in these days of international com- petition has to be carried on, the necessity of attracting capital, of finding markets, of improving the process of manufacture." Until this temper of mutual understanding and consideration prevailed no remedy could succeed, and it was the business of the Church to keep reminding men of it.
