for revolutionary change wasaroused-a passion long disturbing governments-it wasbound to follow sooner or later that eagerness for changewould pass from the political sphere over into the relatedfield of economics.In fact,new developments in industry,new techniques striking out on new paths,changed re-lations of employer and employee,abounding wealthamong a very small number and destitution among themasses,increased self-reliance on the part of workers as wellas a closer bond of union with one another,and,in addi-tion to all this,a decline in morals have caused conflictto break forth.  \n2.The momentous nature of the questions involved inthis conflict is evident from the fact that it keeps men'sminds in anxious expectation,occupying the talents of thelearned,the discussions of the wise and experienced,theassemblies of the people,the judgment of lawmakers,and  \n# CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES\n\nthe deliberations of rulers,so that now no topic more strong-ly holds men's interests.  \n3.Therefore,Venerable Brethren,with the cause ofthe Church and the common welfare before Us,We havethought it advisable,following Our custom on other occa-sions when We issued to you the Encyclicals On PoliticalPower,On Human Liberty,On the Christian Constitutionof States,and others of similar nature,which seemed op-portune to refute erroneous opinions,that We ought to dothe same now,and for the same reasons,On the Conditionof Workers.We have on occasion touched more than onceupon this subject.In this Encyclical,however,conscious-ness of Our Apostolic office admonishes Us to treat theentire question thoroughly,in order that the principles maystand out in clear light,and the conflict may thereby bebrought to an end as required by truth and equity.  \n4.The problem is difficult to resolve and is not freefrom dangers.It is hard indeed to fix the boundaries ofthe rights and duties within which the rich and the prole-tariat-those who furnish material things and those whofurnish work-ought to be restricted in relation to eachother.The controversy is truly dangerous,for in variousplaces it is being twisted by turbulent and crafty men topervert judgment as to truth and seditiously to incite themasses.  \n5.In any event,We see clearly,and all are agreed thatthe poor must be speedily and fittingly cared for,since thegreat majority of them live undeservedly in miserable andwretched conditions.  \n6.After the old trade guilds had been destroyed in thelast century,and no protection was substituted in theirplace,and when public institutions and legislation had  \nCONDITION OF THE
