When congress convened In regular session today the annual message o( the president was read. In part the message was as fol lows: j To the Senate and House of Represen tatives: ' ' :.; v y ' & The country Is to be congratulated on the amount of substantial achievement which has marked the past year both as regards our foreign and as regards our domestic policy. , , ."' CORPORATIONS. With a nation as with a man the most Important things are those of the household, and therefore the country is especially to be congratulated on what has been accomplished in the direction of providing for the exercise of super vision over the great corporations and combinations of -corporations engaged. In interstate commerce. The congress has created the department of com merce and labor, including the bureau of corporations, with for the first time authority to secure proper publicity of such proceedings of these great cor porations as the public has a right to know. It has provided for the expedlt-r lng of suits for the enforcement of the anti-trust law; and by another law It has secured eqUal treatment to all pro ducers in the transportation of their goods, thus taking a long stride for ward in making effective the work of the interstate commerce commission, i COMMERCE AND LABOR. j The establishment of the department of commerce and labor, with the bu reau of corporations : thereunder, mnrks a real advance in the direction of doing all that is possible for the so lution of the questions vitally affecting capitalists and wage1 workers. The act creating the department was ap proved on February J.4, l503, and two days later the head of the department was nominated and confirmed by the senate. Since then the work of organ ization has been punhed as rapidly as the initial ' appropriations permitted, and with due regard to thoroughness and the broad purposes which the de partment Is designed to serve. After the transfer of the various bureaus and branches to the department at the be ginning of the current fiscal year, as provided for In the act, the personnel comprised 1,289 employes In Washing ton and 8836 in the oountry at large. The scope of the department's duty and authority embraces the commercial and industrial interests of the nation. It is not deafened to restrict nor control the fullest liberty of legitimate busi ness action, but to secure exact and authentic information which wfll aid the executive ,n enforcing existing laws, and which will enable the con gress to enact additional legislation, if any should be found necessary, In ordr to prevent the few from obtain ing privileges at the expense of dim inished opportunities for the many. CAPITAL AND LABOR. The consistent policy of the national government, so far as it has the power, Is to hold in check the unscrupulous man, whether employer or employe; but to refuse to weaken individual ini tiative or to hamper or cramp the in dustrial development of the country. We recognize that this is an era of fed eration and combination, In which great capitalistic corporations and labor unions have become factors of tremen dous Importance in all industrial cen ters. Hearty recognition is given the far-reaching, beneficent work which has been accomplished, through both corporations and unions, and the line ss between different corporations, as be tween different unions, is drawn as it Schuykill county will go out of business next year. This is shown by the de creased number of applicants for li censes. '..' ' ;' .. ' ' ' . ': : : PROCEEDING WAS SHAMEFUL So Says Judge Dunne of the Pan. i ania Revelation. Chicago, Dec. 7.
