New York, March 24.— In a canvass
of the country to ascertain the number
of unemployed men, dispatches have
been received from many industrial
centers with reports of conditions, and
from these it is estimated that more
than one million men are minus jobs.
The reports indicate more than 600,000
unemployed in the chief cities and
nearly 60J,000 in the states outside the
cities.
That there are more unemployed men
and women in New York City today
than at any previous time in many
years past is the belief of upion leaders,
charity workers and students of social
conditions. Estimates of the number
out of work vary from 100,000 to 500,-
000. It is probable that half of the
latter number, or 250,000, is about cor
rect.
The following eatimate is given by
responsible labor leaders: Carpenters,
10,000; tailors, 8,000; rockmen and
excavators, 8.000; bricklayers, 7,000;

Washington, March 24.— A decision
was promulgated today by the Inter
state Commerce commission in one of
the most important cases it has been
called upon to determine for some time.
It is that of the Cosmopolitan Import
ing company, a Philadelphia organiza
tion, chartered under the laws of New
Jersey, against the Hamburg-American
Packet company, the North German
Lloyd Steamship company, the Wilson
(H u ll) lines and the Bcandinavian-
American lines.
The complainant’s petition was filed
with the commission nearly a year ago.
Some time subsequently the defendants
filed a demurrer, attacking the juris
diction of the Interstate Commerce
commission.
The opinion in the case, which is
very voluminous, was prepared by
Commissioner Franklin K . Lane.
In brief, and in effect, the commis
sion decides against itself. I t holds
that it has no authority over oceanic
transportation and thus determines the
case adversely to the contention of the
complainant.

HINTS TO CONGRESS
President Says Certain New Laws
Should Be Passed.
MUST GIVE RELIEF TO LABOR
A llow T ra ffic A greem ents Among the
R ailroads— Amend A n ti-T ru s t
L a w — Revise T a riff.
Washington, March 26.— Insisting
that certain important measures should
le fBased by the present oongiees, Pres
ident Roosevelt sent a special message
to hoth houses yesterday.
The message in part follows:
Chlid labor should be prohibited
throuvhout tlie nation.
At least a
model child labor bill should be passed
for the District of C< 1 mbia.
1 renew my recommendation for the
immediate re-enactment of an employ
ers’ liability law, drawn to conform to
the recent decision of the Bupreme
court. Within the limits indicated by
the court the law should be made thor
ough and comprehensive, ami the pro
tection it affords should affect every
class of employe to which the power of
the congress can extend. In addition
to a liability law protecting the em
ployes of common carriers the govern
ment should show its faith by enacting
a further law giving compensation to
its own employes for injury or death
incurred in its service.
I also urge that action be taken along
the line of the recommendations I have
already made concerning injunctions in
labor disputes. No temporary restrain
ing order should be issued by any court
without noticce and the petition for a
permanent injunction upon which such
temporary injunction has been issfied
should be heard by the court issuing
the same within a reasonable time—
say not to exceed a week or thereabout.
I again call attention to the urgent
need of amending the interstate com
merce law and especially the anti-trust
law, along the lines indicated in my
last message. The Interstate commerce
law should be amended so as to give
railroads the right to make traffic
agreements, subject to these agree
ments being approved by the Interstate
Commere commission and published
in ail details.
In addition to the reasons I have al
ready urged on your attention it has
now beome important that there Bhould
be an amendment of the anti trust
law because of the uncertainty as to
how this law affects combinations
among laboring men and farmers, if the
combination has any tendency to re
strict interstate commerce.
A ll of
these combinations, if and while exist
ing for and engaged id the promotion
of innocent and proper purposes, should
be recognized as legal, as I have repeat
edly pointed out.
The time has come when we should
prepare for a revision of the tariff.
This should be, and indeed must be.
preceded by careful investigation. It
is peculiarly the province of the house
of representatives to originate a tariff
billjand to determine upon its terms;
and tbis I fully realize, yet it seems to
me that before the close of this session
provision should be made for collecting
full material which w ill enable the
congress elected next fall to act imme
diately after it comes into existence.
Ample provision should be made for
a permanent waterway commission
with whatever power is required to
make it effective. The congress B hould
realize in fullest fashion the fact that
the subject of the conservation of our
natural resources with wbioli this com
mission deals is literally vital for the
future of the nation.
Numerous bills granting water power
rights on navigable streams have been
introduced. None of them gives the
government the right to make a reaeon-
able charge for the valuable privilege
granted. Nor is any definite time lim it
set, as should always be done in snch
cases, and I shall he (bilged therefore,
in accordance with the policy stated in
a recent message, to veto any water
power hill which does not provide for
a time lim it and the collection of a just
and reasonable charge.
