President's Message.
To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives: 1
In my message to Congress of
March 25, 1U8, I outlined certain
measures which I believe the major
ity of our countrymen desire to have
enacted Into law at this' time. These
measures do not represent by any
means al) that I would like to see
done if 1 thought It possible but they
do represent what I believe can now
be done if an earnest effort toward
this end Is made.
Since I wrote this message an em
ployer's liability law has been enact
ed, which, It is true, comes short of
what ought to have been done but
which does represent a great advance.
Apparently there Is good ground to
hope that there will be further leg
islation providing for recompensing
all employes who suffer Injury while
engaged In the public service; that
there will be a child labor law enact
ed for the District of Columbia; that
tho water ways commission will be
contluued with sufficient financial
support to Increase tho effect lvenesB
of 11b preparatory work; that stops
will be taken to provide tor such in
vestigations Into tnrll'f conditions by
the appropriate committee of the
House of Representatives and by gov-

ment of postal savings banks. Ample
appropriation should be made to en

FaHtirislo frovide means which will
PiviulB the commission to examine the
books of the railways would amount
to till attack on the law at its most
vital point and would benefit as noth
ing else could benefit thosa railways
which are corruptly or Incompetently
managed. Forest reserves should be
established throughout the Appalach
ian mountain region wherever It can
be shown that they will have a di
rect and real connection with the con
servation and Improvement of nav
lgablo rivers.
There seems, however, much doubt
about some of the measures I have
recommended: The measure to do
away with the use of the power of in
junction and the measure or group of
measures to strengthen and render
both more efficient and more wise
the control by the national govern
ment over the great corporations do
ing interstate business as to the pow
er of Injunction and punishment for
contempt. In contempt cases, save
where immediate action Is Imperative,
trial should be before another Judge.
As regards injunctions some such leg
islation aH that I have previously rec
ommended should be enactea. Tney
are those, who fail to realize the ex
treme bitterness caused among large
bodies of worthy citizens hy the use
that has been repeatedly made of the
power of the Injunction in labor dis
putes. Those in whose Judgment we
have most right to trust are of the
opinion that while most of the com
plaint against the use of the injunc
tion Is unwarranted, yet that It is un
questionably true that in a number
of cases this power has been used to
the grave Injury of the rights of lab
oring men. I ask that it be limited
in some such Way as that I have al
ready pointed out In my previous
messagOs for the very reason that I
do not wish to see an embittered ef
fort, ni ado to destroy It. It Is unwise
stubbornly, to refuse to provide
ngnlnst a repltltion of the abuses
which have caused tho present tin
rest. In a democracy like ours It Is
Idle to expect permanently to thwart
the determination of tho great hotly
of our citizens. It may be and often
Is' the duty of a court, a legislature,
or an executive to resist and defy a
gust ' of popular passion; and most
certainly n: public servant, whatever
may be the consequences to himself,
should yield to what he thinks wrong.
But in a question which is emphatic
ally One of public policy which the
public demand is sure to be adopted
in the end and a persistent refusal to
grant to large portion of our people
what Is right is only too apparent in
the end to result In causing much Ir
ritation that when the right Is ob
tained. It Is obtained in a movement
so ill-considered and violent as to be
accompanied by much thnt is wrong.
The process of Injunction In labor
troubles, as well as where state laws
are Involved, should bo used sparing
ly and only when there Is tho clear
est necessity for It, but It Is one so
necessary to the efficient perform
ance of the duty of the court In be
half of the Nation that it is in the
highest degree to be regretted that It
is liable to reckless use; for this reck
less use tends to make honest men to
desire to so hamper Its execution as
to destroy its usefulness.
When, with steam and electricity,
lmuhu-n business conditions went
through the astounding revolution
which In this country be-all over half
a century ago there was at first
much hesitation as to what partic
ular governmental agency should be
used to grapple with the new condi
tions. At almost the same time,
about twenty years since, the effort
was made to control combinations by
regulating them through the Inter
state Commerce Commission and to
abolish them by means of the anti
trust act, the two remedies therefore
being In part mutually Incompatible.
The Interstate commerce law has
produced admirable results, especially
since It was strengthened by the Hep
burn tow twoy ears ago. The anti
trust law worked some good tie
cause It Is better than anarchy, or ab
sence of complete regulation, never
theless has proved, in many respects,
not merely Inadequate but misrhev
lous. Twenty years ago, the misuse
of corporate power had produced al
most every conceivnble form of abuse
and had worked the gravest Injury
to business morality and the public
conscience. Kor a long time Federal

Tower should unquestionably pe
lodged somewhere in the executive
branch of government, to prevent
combinations which will further I1'
public Interest, but It must alwaw
be remembered that ,is regards the
great wealthv combinations throuch
j hich most of the Interstate business
j of the country Is done, the burden of
(mo. Miouiil u;1 on I.leut to s:iov
power. My personal belief Is, that
ultimately we shall have to adopt a
National 'incorporation law, though I
am well aware that this may be im
nossible at iireieut. Over the ac
tions of the executive body tile power ,
is ulaced and the courts should pos-1
sess merely a power of review, ana
logous to that obtaining in connec
tion with the work of the Interstate
Commerce Commission at present. To
secure this would not be a Jenp In
th dark; it would be merely to carry
stjl) furfur ;)e theory of effective
goteruniem control of corporations j
which was r;iiot.ei)ile for the crea-.
nt th imerintf Commerce I
Commission, and for the nnlrge
ment of its powers and for the cre
ation of the Bureau of Corporations.
The Interstate Commerce legislation
has worked admirably. It has bene-
' fitted the public; it has benefitted
honestly managed and economically
Conducted railroads and In view of
the fact that the country's business
has enormously Increased this legis
lation has shown, by the way It en
abled the Federal Government to cor
rect the moBt pronounced of th
great and varied abuses which pxIbi
ed in the business world for twenty
years but the many abuses that still
remain emphasize tho need of further
and more thoroughgoing legislation.
The Bureau of Corporations has
amply JuBtlfled Its creation. In oth
er words, It is clear that the prin
ciples employed to remedy the great
evils In the business world Wnvo
w,i!red well, and they cn Wow lie
employtJ to correct the evils 'that
further commercial grow-rh has
brought more prominently tn the sur
face. The powers and scope of the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
of any similar body, such as the Bur
eau of Corporations, which has to
deal with the matter In hand, should
be greatly enlarged, so as to meet
the requirements of the present day.
There should be an efficient exe
cutive body clothed with power
enough to correct abuses and able to
work out the complex problems that
this great country has developed. It
Is not sufficient objection to say that
such a body may be guilty of un
wisdom or abuses. Any governmment
al body, whether a court or a com
mission, whether executive, legisla
tive or Judicial, if given power
enough to enable It to do effective
work for good, must also Inevitably
receive enough power to make it pos
sibly effective for evil. Therefore,
it is clear, that (unless a National
Incorporation law can be enacted)
that body or bodies in the executive
service should be given power to
pass upon any combination or agree
ment in relation to interstate com
merce and every such combination
and agreement not thus approved
should be treated as in violation of
law and prosecuted accordingly Thej
Issuance of the security of any com- i
binution In interstate business should f
be under the supervision of the Nat-j
ional Government. A strong effort
has been made to have labor organl-1
zatlons completely exempted from
any of the operations of the law,
whether or not their acts are In re-1
straint of trade. Such exception :
would make the bill unconstitutional
and congress has no more right to '
pass a bill without regard to whether,1
it Is constitutional than the courts i
have a right to declare unconstltut-
ready ratified. The responsibility
Is as great on the one side as on the
other and abuse of power by the leg
islature in one direction is equally
to be condemned with an abuse of
power by the courts in the other di
rection. It Is not possible wholly to
except labor organizations from the
workings of this law and they who
insist upon totally excepting them
are merely providing that their stat
us shall be kept wholly unchanged
and that they shall continue to be
exposed to the action which they now
dread. Obviously an organization
not formed for profit should not be
required to furnish statistics In any
way as complete as those furrrished
by organizations for profit. .More
over, so far as labor is engaged in
protection only, it claims to be ex
empted from the anti-trust law, are
sound. This would substantially cov
er the rights of laborers to combine,
to strike peaceably and to enter into
trade agreements with the employers.
Hut we should sanction neither a
boycott nor a blacklist, which would
be illegal at common law.
The measures I advocate are in
the interest of b ilh decent corpora
tions and law-abiding unions. They
are, moreover, pre-eminently in the
Interest of the public, for in my judg
ment the American public have defi
nitely made up their minds that the
day of the reign o.f the great labor
defying corporation Is over, and that
from this time on the mighty combi
nations of capital necessary for the
transaction of business undor modern
conditions, while encouraged so Ions
as they art honestly and in the Inter
est of the general public, are to be
subjected to careful supervision and
regulation of a kind so effective as to
Insure their acting in the Interest of
the people as a whole.
Allegations are often made to the I
effect that there is no great need of!
laws looking to the more effective
control of the great corporations on
the ground that they will do their I
work well without such control I i
