Employers' Liability.
I also very urgently advise that a
comprohonslvo not bo passed provid
ing for compensation by tho govern
ment to all omployos injured in tho
government service. Under tho re
cant law an injurod workman in tho
employ of the government had no
romody, and tho burden falls upon
tho helpless man, hi wife and his
young childron.
This to an outrage. This is a mat
ter of humiliation to tho nation that
thoro should not bo on our statu to
books provisions to meet and par
tially to atono for cruel misfortune
when It comoB upon n man through
no fault of his own, whllo faithfully
Borving tho public.
Tho snmo brond principle which
should apply to tho government
should ultimately bo made applic
able to nil private employers. Where
tho nation has tho power It should
onact laws to this effect.

coal strike commission, which re

guldanco of both legislative and cx
ecutlvo officers. Even though It
woro posslblo I should consider it
man unwlBo to nboUsh the. use of the
process of Injunction. It is noces
eary in order that tho courts may
maintain iholr own dignity, and In
ord?r that they may In effectivo man
ner check disorders and violence.
It is all wrong to use tho injunc
tion to provent -tho entirely proper

izations In tholr struggle for indut-
trlal bottermont, or under the guise
of protecting property rights unwar
rantable o invado tho fundamental

tile to concede, as wo all do, tho right
and tho necessity of organized effort
on tho part of wago earners, and yet
by Injunctive process forbid peac
ablo action to accomplish tho lawful
object for which they aro organized,
and upon which tholr success ao

It Is my purpose, as soon as maybo,
to submit Bomo further recommenda
tions Kn rofaronce to osir laws rogu
latlng labor conditions within the
sphoro of federal authority.
Concerning Labor.
Not only should tnero be action on
certain laws affecting wage earners
there should also be such action on
law better to seouro control of the
great business .concorns ongagea in
Interstate commerce, and eapeally
over the great common oarrlQrs. The
Intorstato commerce oommlMion
should bo omnowerod to pa upoa

vlded that whonevor the commission
ha reason to believe that advance in
not being made without Investiga
tion. It should have authority to is
sue an order prohibiting the advance,
ponding examination by the ooramif-
aon.
Tho Ineretate commerce commis

means to make a physical valuation

Now York, 'Jan. 31. Justice
Dowllng's charge to tho Jury was ono
of tho most voluminous ever present
ed by any mngistrata sitting in n
murdor trial In New York. It con
tained 7500 words, and bogan by do
tailing tne responsibility involved
under tho stato laws, and warning
tho Jury that speeches should not ba
conIdorod in uoalding upon a ver
dict. "Nor should you- bo concerned In
the question of the punishment that
follows a vtrdiot of guilty," said tho
Justice. "Your eolo function Is to
detormino if any crime has bon com
mitted, and Its grnde, but loavo tho
quostion of penalty to thoso who
should bo responsible for fixing It."
"Tho law presumes every Individ
ual to he sano, and tho prosecution
can roH on this point at the outset
without proof. But whoro the de-
fenso a Insanity, and tho general evi
dence presented touohes the question
a to whether the orlmo wa com
mitted by a poreon responsible for
hie act, the burden of oetnblishing
the defendant's sanity U up to the
prosecution. If, upon the whole caet,
any rwuwnnnia uouut exiMS in me
Jurors' minds as to the defendant's
Insanity, he le entitled to acquittal.
"But if Thaw was mentally capable
ii f entertaining orimtnai intent, it
would not be possible, under your
oaths at Jurymen, to acquit him."
Justice Dowling rlddlod tho "rre
istable impulso" theory. He de
clared tho entire case, so far as tho
jurors are now concerned, rested up
on the queetlon whether Thaw knew
he wa shooting White and whether
he deeigned to shoot him. He de
clared that tho testimony concerning,
the acts of the dofendant during his
early life and tho Insanity in the
Thaw family eould bo considered
only insofar as It throw light on the
defendant's llfd. lie said It could be
considered from that standpoint.

This praotice imvoses undue hard
