fhe President Further Outlines His
Views as to Legislation,
STRENGTHEN ANTITRUST LAW
Government Should Control Large Cor
porations and Limit Should Be Placed
On Labor Injunctions — Legitimate
Combinations Should Be Permitted
Washington, April 28—The president
sent a special message to congress fur
ther outlining his views as to legisla
tion. The message in part follows:
In my message to the congress of
March 25, 198, I outlined certain meas-
ures which I believe the majority of our
countrymen desire to have enacted intc
law at this time. These measures do not
represent by any means all that I would
like to see done if I thought it possible,
but they do represent what I believe can
now be done if an earnest effort toward
this end is made.
Since 1 wrote this message an employ:
ers’ liability law has been enacted which,
it is true, comes short of what ought tc
have been done, but which does represent
& real advance. Apparently there is good
ground to hope that there will be further
legislation providing for recompensing al
employes who suffer injury while
in the public service; that there will be @
child labor law enacted for the District
of Columbia; that the waterways com-
mission will be co tinued with sufficient
financial support to increase the effective:
ness of its preparatory work; that step:
will be taken to provide for such investi
gation into tariff conditions by the ap-
propriate committee of the house of rep-
resentatives and by government expert:
in the executive service as will secure
the full information necessary for imme-
diate action in revising the tariff at the
hands of the congress elected next fall,
and, finally, that financial legislation will
be enacted providing for temporary meas.
ures for meeting any trouble that may
arise in the next year or two, and for a
commission of experts who shall thor
oughly Investigate the whole matter,
both here and In the great commercial
countries abroad, so as to be able tc
recommend legislation which will put out
financial system on an efficient and per
manent basis. It is much to be wished
that one feature of the financial legis a-
tion of this session should be the estab
lishment of postal savings banks. Amplt
appropriations should be made to enable
the Interstate commerce commission tc
carry out the very important feature oi
the Hepburn law which gives to the com-
mission supervision and control over the
accounting systems of the railroads.
The president then says a law
should be passed limiting the use ol
labar injunctions, as he does not wisk
to see an embittered effort made tc
destroy it. He then says:
The strengthening of the antitrust law
is demanded upon both moral and eco
nomic grounds. Our purpose in strength.
ening it is to secure more effective con
trol by the national government over the
business use of the vast masses of indl
vidual, and especially of corporat
wealth, which at the present time mo:
nopolize most of the interstate busines:
of the country, and we believe the con
trol can best be exercised by preventing
the growth of abuses rather than merely
by trying to destroy them when they
have already grown,
Power should unquestionably be lodged
somewhere in the executive branch ol
the government to permit combination:
which will fugther the public interest, bu
it must always be remembered that as re
gards the great and wealthy cormbina
tions through which most of the inter
state business of today is done the bur
den of proof should be on them to show
that they have a right to exist.
The measures 1 advocate are in the in
terest both of decent corporations and ol
law-abiding labor unions. They are more
over pre-eminently in the interest of the
public, for In my judgment the Americar
people have definitely made up theh
minds that the days of the reign of th:
great law defying and law evading cor
porations are over and that from thi:
time on the mighty organizations of capi
tal necessary for the transaction of busi
ness under modern conditions, while en:
couraged so long as they act honestly anc
in the interest of the general public, ar
to be subjected to careful supervision anc
regulation of a kind so effective as to in
sure their acting in the interest of the
people as a whole,
Allegations are often made to the effect
that there is no real need for these laws
looking to the more effective control oi
the great corporations upon the ground
that they will do their work well without
such control. 1 call your attention to the
accompanying copy of a report just sub.
mitted by Nathan Matthews, chalrmar
of the finance commission, to the mayo!
and city council of Boston, relating tc
certain evil practices of various corpora:
tions which have been bidders for fur
nishing to the city fron and steel. This
report showe that there have been ex-
tensive combinations formed among the
various corporations which have business
with the city of Boston, including, for in-
stance, a carefully planned combinatior
embracing practically all the firms anc
corporations engaged in structural stee
work in New England. It affected the
states, the cities and towns, the railroads
and street rallways, and generally al
persons having occasion to use iron or
steel for any purpose in that section of
the country. As regards the city of Bos.
ton, the combination resulted in parcel
‘
ing out the work by collusive bids, plain.
ly dishonest and supported by false af-
firmations.
But among the many kinds of evil, so-
cial, industrial and political, which is our
duty as a nation sternly to combat, there
is none at the same time more base and
more dangerous than the greed which
treats the plain and simple rules of hon-
esty with cynical contempt if they inter
fere with making a profit, and as a nation
we cannot be held guiltless if we condone
such action. The man who preaches ha-
tred of wealth honestly acquired, who in-
culcates envy and jealousy and slander-
ous ill will toward these of his fellows
who by thrift, energy and industry have
become men of means is a menace to the
community. But his counterpart in evil is
to be found in that particular kind of
multimillionaire who is almost the least
enviable and is certainly one of the least
admirable of all our citizens, a man of
whom it has been well said that his face
has grown hard and cruel while his body
has grown soft, whose son is a fool and
his daughter a foreign princess, whose
nominal pleasures are at best those of a
tasteless and extravagant luxury and
whose real delight, whose real life work
is the accumulation and use of power in
its most sordid and least elevating form.
In the chaos of an absolutely unrestricted
commercial individualism under modern
conditions this is a type that becomes
prominent as inevitably as the marauder
baron became prominent in the physical
chaos of the dark aged. We are striving
for legislation to minimize the abuses
which give this type its flourishing prom-
inence, partly for the sake of what can
be accomplished by the legislation itself
and partly because the legislation marks
our participation in a great and stern
moral movement to bring our ideals and
our conduct into measurable accord.
Taft to Go to Panama.
As the result of deliberations at the
cabinet session it was determined that
Secretary Taft should go to Panama.
He will sail April 30 on the
cruiser Prairie. A number of questions
between the United States and Pan-
ama, and between Panama and Colom-
bia, will be negotiated during the sec-
retary’s stay on the isthmus. It is said
to be necessary that the concessions
the United States obtained from Pan-
ama provided for in a protocol should
be embodied in a permanent treaty.
The secretary expects to return to the
United States May 20.
Paid $2 For Ten Yards of Silk Thread.
In response to newspaper advertise
ments to the effect that if $2 were for-
warded to a firm in Morgantown, W.
Va., there would be sent in return ten
yards of silk, a large number of per-
sons near Monessen, Pa., availed them-
selves of what looked like a bargain.
A majority of the customers received
ten yards of silk thread. The United
States authorities and police are mak-
ing an investigation.
McKinley Home to Be a Hospital,
