I PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) strike or lockout nuiy lawfully bo attempted. Ami. sixth, the lodgement in the hands of Hie executive of the power, in east; of military necessity, to take control of such portions and such rolling stock of the railways of the country as may be required for military use and to operate them for mililary purposes, with authority to draft into the military service of the United States such train crews and administrative officials as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient use. The second and third of these recommendations the congress immediately acted on: it established the eight-hour day as the legal basis of work and wages in train service and it authorized the appointment of a commission to observe and report upon 4be practical results, deeming these the measures most immediately needed; but it postponed action upon tlic other suggestions until an opportunity should he offered for a more deliberate consideration of them. The fourth recommendation I do not deem it necessary to renew. The power of the Interstate Commerce Commission to grant an increase of rates on the ground referred to is indisputably clear and a recommendation by the congress with regard to such a matter might seem to draw in question the scope of the commission’s authority or its inclination to do justice when there is no reason to doubt either. The other suggestions.—the increase in the Interstate Commerce Commission’s membership and in its facilities for performing its maniftWd cl ities. the provision for full publicinvestigation and assessment of industrial disputes, and the grant to the executive of the power to control and operate the railways when necessary in time of war or other like public necessity,—l now very earnestly renew. The necessity for such legislation is manifest and pressing. Those who have entrusted us with the responsibility and duty of serving and safeguarding them in such matters would find it hard. I believe, to excuse a failure to act upon these grave matters or any unnecessary postponement of action upon them. - Not otil}' does the Interstate Commerce Commission now find it practically impossible, with its present membership and organization, to perform its great functions promptly and thoroughly but it is not unlikely that it may be presently he found advisa ble to add to its duties still others equally heavy ’and exacting. It mu«t first be perfected as an administrative instrument. The country cannot and should not consent to remain any longer exposod to profound industrial disturbances for lack of additional means of arbitration and conciliation which the congress can easily and promptly supply. And all will agree that there must be no doubt as to the power of the executive to make immediate and uninterrupted use of the railroads tor the concentration of the military forces of the nation wherever they are needed and whenever they ate needed. This is a program of regulation, prevention. and administrative efficiency which argues its own case in the mere statement of it. With regard to one of its items, the increase in the efficiency of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the House of Representatives lias already acted; its action needs only the concurrence of the senate. i would hesitate to recommend, and 1 dare say the congress would hesitate to act upon the suggestion should I make it. that any iqan in any occupation should be obligated by law to continue in an employment whic h he desired to leave. To pass a law whic h forbade or prevented the individual workman to leave his work before re- ' ceiving the approval of society in doing so would be to adopt a new principle into our jurisprudence which 1 take it for granted we are not prepared to introduce. But the proposal that the operation of the railways of the country shall not be stopped or interrupted by the concerted action of organized bodies of men until a public investigation shall have been instituted which shall make the whole question at issue plain for the judgment of the opinion of the nation is 1 not to propose any sue h principle. It is based upon the very different principle tiiat the coiicerl«vd action of powerful bodies of men shall not be' permitted to stop the industrial processes of Hie nation at any rate before the nation shall have had an opportunity to acquaint itself with the merits of the case as between employe and employer, time to form its y opinion upon an impartial statement of the merits, and opportunity to consider all practicable means of conciliation or arbitration. I can see nothing in that proposition but the justifiable safeguarding by society of the necessary processes of its very lite. J i There is nothing arbitrary or unjust

in It unless it be arbltrarly and un J justly done. It can and should be. done with a full and scrupulous re-1 gard for the interests ami liberties of all concerned as well ns for the permanent Interests of society itself. Three matters of capital importance await the action of the senate which have already been acted upon , by the house of representatives: the bill J which seeks to extend greater free- 1 dor.t of combination to those engaged in promoting the foreign commerce | of the country than is now thought by some to be legal under the terms 1 of the laws against monopoly; the, bill amending the present organiclaw of Porto Rico; and the bill pro-! posing a more thorough and syste-1 mafic regulation of the expenditure of money in elections, commonly call ' ed the Corrupt Practices Act. 1 need not labor my advice that these meas-1 ures be enacted into law. Their nr-1 gency lies in the manifest circumstances which render their adoption at this time not only opportune but , necessary. Even delay would seri-1 ously jeopard the interests of the country and of the government. Immediate passage of tile bill to regulate the expenditure of money in elections may seem to be less necessary than the immediate enactment f the other measures to which I refer; because at least two years will elapse before another election in which federal offices are to be filled: but it would greatly relieve the pub- ; < mind if this important mattfer were dealt with while the circumstances and the dangers to the public morals of the present method of ob--.ining and spending campaign funds land clear and under recent observation and the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied in the light of present experience; and a delay rave the further very serious disadvantage of postponing action until another election was at band and samti special object connected with it might be thought to be in the mind of hose who urged it. Action can lie . iken now with facts for guidance ■ and without suspicion of partisan purpose. 1 shall not argue at length the desirability of giving a freer hand in the matter of coinbiped and concert- ( ed effort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of bulking up our export trade. That enter-'i-i.-.e will presently, will immediately vssume, has indeed already assumed, i magnitude unprecedented in our exlerience. We have not the necessary instrumentalities tor its prosecuion; it is deemed to be doubtful bother they couid be created upon ,n adequate scale under our present ; ws. We should clear away all le•al obstacles and create a basis of undoubted iav. for it which will give freedom without permitting unreguated license. The thing must be lone now. because the opportunity is here and may escape us if we "iiesiate or delay. The argument for the proposed Amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive, i’he present laws governing the isaml and regulating the rights and arivileges of its people are not just. We have created expectations of exended privilege which we have not uglified. There is uneasiness among he people of the island and even a iisf ieious doubt with regard to our ntentions concerning them Which the ■ doption of Ute pending measure would happily remove. We do not ioubt what we wish to do in any esential particular. We oucht to do ,t at once. There are other matters already, ad- . ar, oil to the stage of conference between tlie two houses of which it is not necessary that I should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement toncerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them. inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, probably the last occasion I shall have to address the sixty-fourth congress, I hope that you will permit me to say with what genuine pleasure ami satisfaction I have cooperated with you in the many measures of constructive policy with which you have enriched the legislative annals Os ri, ( > country H has been a privilege to labour in such company. 1 take the liberty of congratulating you upon the completion of a record of rare serviceablencss and distinction. o ■ ■ Retribution Sure.
