WASHINGTON, Jan. 19. President Wilson today received from the printer the final text of the addresses 10 congress which he will read to a point session of the two houses tomorrow. 1 The message, besides pointing out what steps should be taken to curb the operation of trusts, will deal with the general policy of the administration toward business, laying stress on the president's desire that financiers and active managers of Industrial enterprises should feel free to consult with the government at all times.
