Washington, March 23.— President
Roosevelt has determined on a legists
tive program the enactment of which
w ill be urged upon congress in a special
message which he said today w ill go in
this week. Each of the measures to be
proposed involves perplexing difficul
ties and each w ill have far reaching
effects on business and economic condi-
tiens of the country. The program is
the product of important conferences
through which the president has been
put in possession of the views of all in
terest* concerned.
Likewise the atti
tude of the leaders in both branches of
congress has been made known.
Its
success depends upon the combined
effort, which he believes can be brought
to bear in behalf of the whole plan by
those affected especially by some one of
its features.
The program includes:
A declaration in favor of revision of
the tariff in a special season to be held
after March 4, 1909.
An amendment to the Sherman anti
trust law so as to make important con
cessions to combinations of both labor
and capital.
Lim iting the powers of certain courts
in the use of the injunction in labor
disputes.
Paseage cf an employers’ liability
bill.
Passage of the Aldrich financial bill.
