the railroads for the concentration
of the military forces of the Nation
wherever they are needed and when
ever they are needed.
This is a program of regulation,
prevention, and administrative effi
ciency which argues its own case in
the mere statement of it. With re
gard to one of Its items, the increase
in the efficiency of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, the House of
Representatives has already acted;
it;; action needs only the concurrence
of the Senate.
I would hesitate to recommend,
and I dare say the Congress would
hesitate to act upon the suggestion
should I make it, that any man in
any occupation should be obliged by
law to continue in an employment
which he desires to leave. To parm a
law which forbade or prevented the
individual workmen to leave liis
work before receiving the approval
or socbdy In doing so would be to
adopt a new principle Into our Juris
prudence which I take it for granted
we are not prepared to Introduce.
Hut the proposal that the operation
of the railways of the country shall
not be stopped or interrupted by the
concerted action of organized bodies
of men until u public investigation
sha II have been instituted which
shall make the whole ijuestion at Is
sue plain for the judgment of the
opinion of the Nation is not to pro
pose any such principle. It is based
upon the very different principle that
the concerted action of powerful1
bodies of men shall not be permitted
lo stop the industrial processes of
the Nalion, at any rate before the
Nation shall have had an opportun-j
iiy to acquaint itself with the merits
of Ihe case as between employe anil
employer, time to form its opinion1
upon au impartial statement ol the
merits, and opportunity to consider
all practicable means of conciliation
or arbitration, i ran see nothing in
that proposition but the justifiable
safeguarding by society of the neces
sary processes of Its very life. There
is nothitiK arbitrary or unjust In it
unless it be arbitrarily and unjustly
done. It can and should be done
with a full and scrupulous regard for
the interests and liberties of all con
cerned as well as for the permanent
interests of society itself.
Three matters of capilal Import
ance await the action ( the Senate
which have already been acted upon
by the House of Representatives;
the hill which seeks to extend great
er freedom of combination to those
engaged in promoting the foreign
commerce of the country than is now
thought by some to be legal under
the term i of the laws agalnat mon
opoly; the bill amending the pr&seat
organic law of Porto Rico; and the
bill proposing a more thorough and
systematic regulation of the expen
diture of money In elections, com
monly called the Corrupt Practices
Act. 1 need not labor my advice that
these measures be enacted into law.
Their urgency lies in the manifest
circumstances which render their
adoption at this time not only oppor
tune but necssary. Even delay
would seriously jeopard the interests
of the country and of the Govern
ment. Immediate passage of the bill to
regulate the expenditure of money in
elections may seem to be less neces
sary than the immediate enactment
of the other measures to which I re
fer; because at least two years will
elapB before another election in
which Federal officers are to be
filled; but It would greatly relieve
the public mind if this important
matter were dealt with while the
circumstances and .the dangers to
the public morals of the present
method of obtaining and spending
campaign funds stand clear under
recent observation and the methods
of expenditure can be frankly
studied in the light of present experi
ence; and a delay would have the
further very serious disadvantage of
postponing action until another elec
tion was at hand and some special
object connected with it might be
thought to be in the minds of those
who urged it. Action can be taken
now with facts for guidance and
without suspicion of partisan pur
pose. I shall not argue at length the de
sirability of giving a freer hand in
the matter of combined and concert
ed effort to those who shall under
take the essential enterprise of
building up our export trade. That
enterprise will presently, will im
mediately assume, lias indeed al
ready assumed, a magnitude unpre
cedented in our experience. We have
not the necessary instrumentalities
for Its prosecution; it ia deemed to
be doubtful whether they could be
created upon an adequate scale un
der our present laws. We should
clear away all legal obstacles and
create a basis of undoubted lqw for
it which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape
us if we hesitate or delay.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of
Porto Itico is brief and conclusive.
The present laws governing the is
land and regulating the rights and
privileges of its people are not just.
We have created expectations of ex
tended privilege which we have not
satisfied. There is uneasiness among
the people of the island and even a
suspicious doubt with regard to our
intentions concerning them which
the adoption of the ponding measure
would happily remove. We do not .
doubt what we wish to do in any .
essential particular. We ought to !
do it at once.
There are other matters already
advanced to the stage of conference
between the -two houses of which it
is not necessary that I should speak. 1
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be,
found and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch aa this Is, Gentlemen,
