ROOSEVELT WANTS
g ANTI-TRUST LAW
APPEALS TO CONGRESS TO ACT
Seeks to Uovern Ise of Injunctions la
Labor Tronbles Would
Avold;Class Conflict
WashingtuSfftprll 28. President
Roosevelt lit yesterday afternoon
ent to Congress a special message
setting forth in the strongest terms
the necessity of immediate legisla
tion strengthening the anti-trust law.
He reiterates his well-known views
as to the grave danger to free in
stitutions from the corrupting Influ
ence of great wealth suddenly con
centrated in the hands ot the few,
and urges the immediate passage of
measures similar to those he advo
cated in his former message on the
same subject.
Such legislation, he says, will be In
the interest ot both the decent cor
porations and the law-abiding labor
unions. In this connection, he
sounds a warning to the labor lead
ers who have objected to the Inclu
sion of labor organizations In the
anti-trust law amendment, and says
plainly that the exception ot the
unions from the operation of the
law would render the measure in
valid. The legislation he proposes, he
points out, will not Interfere in any
way with the right of the laboring
men to combine, to conduct peaceable
strikes, to make trade agreements
with their employers and to perform
other legitimate acts. There are,
however, he points out, cases in
which trades unions may take them
selves from under the protection ot
tha law by attempting to interfere
with or restrain interstate commerce,
as, for example, by boycott or black
list. Hence the necessity ot their
inclusion in the trust-law amend
ment. In this connection the President
pleads for immediate legislation tor
the preservation ot the injunction
power, the abuse of which, he de
clares, has placed it in jeopardy from
its enemies. This reform, he says,
must be granted at once, Inasmuch
as the people demand it and experi
ence has shown that their demands
cannot safely be ignored.
Among other matters touched upon
In the message is the necessity for
an appropriation sufficient to permit
the examination of railroad books
of accounts and record under the
provisions of the Hepburn law,
which, it is stated, will be shorn of
most ot its valuable feature It the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
not given meant with which to con
duct its investigations into the opera
tion ot railroads Incompetently or
corruptly managed.
The Prepldent gones on to say that
It is his personal belief that ulti
mately we shall have to adopt a Na
tional corporation law, though he is
well aware that this may be Impos
sible at present.
The man who preaches hatred of
wealth honestly acquired Is a menace
to the community. But his counter
part in evil Is to be found in that
particular kind of multi-millionaire,
of whom it has been well said that
his face has grown hard and cruel
while his body has grown soft; whose
son ia a fool and his daughter a for
eign "princess."
Coqutlle J. N. Jacobson, a ranch
er living near here, has been arrest
ed and bound over to the Circuit
Court with a $20 bond for shooting
a neighbor's stock which was bother
ing his fields, but which was in the
road at the time he shot. He killed
one horse and wounded another, be
sides several cattle, according to eye
witnesses. PORTLAND MARKETS.
