Director of Labor School Talks on Current Problems That the world is in chaos and that Catholics of today can lead the way out was the contention of the Reverend John Marreii, S.T.L., in a lecture to the Commerce club on Jan. 1-1. Father Marreii is a member of the Association of Catholic Trade Union ists and director of the Archdiocesan Labor School of his parish. For many years, Father pointed out, business has used this principle to make money, in the least possible time forgetting human values in the greed for profit. Rugged individualism, the business philosophy which puts material gain, at whatever cost to others, as a criter ion of success, is, according to Father Marreii, in large measure responsible for the current labor strife, for econ omic instability, and for grave social wrongs. A new view of the responsibil ity of both employers and employees would greatly help to remedy these conditions. To bring about orderly reconstruc tion of the social order, Father recom mended the reading and discussion among Catholic groups of the Labor Encyclicals of the Popes which inter pret conditions between labor and capi tal and base justice on the natural law and the Ten Commandments.
