George to the Pope letter on the labor question data
Henry George replies to Pope Leo XIII encyclical on labor in an open letter titled The Condition of Labor. He supports the single tax, condemns taxes on labor products, and argues land ownership is moral, private ownership unjust, and compensation for restoring land is robbery. He warns labor unions can only raise wages by force and questions modern jobs and inventions. The piece also notes unrelated items on an artificial rain company and Newport officials jailed for defying a court order.
