THE PRESIDENT GIVES OUTLINE OF LEGISLATION In Special Message He Asks the Passage of Several Pending Bills, WOULD AMEND TRUST LAWS Believes Some Features of Present Statues Are Obsolete and Need Revising. Would Prevent Both Blacklist and Boycott—Sees Need of Tariff Revision Commission and immediate Waterway Legislation. Washington, Mar. 25. —The following : Is the full text of the president’s mes- | sage sent to congress Wednesday: To the Senate and House of Representatives: I call your attention to certain measures as to which I think there should be action by the congress before the close of the present session. There is ample time for their consideration. As regards most if not all of the matters, bills have been introduced into one or the other of the two houses, and it is not too much to hope that action will be taken one way or the other on these bills at the present session. In my message at the opening of the present session, and, indeed. in various messages to previous congresses, I have repeatedly suggested action on most of these measures. Child labor should be prohibited throughout the nation. At least a model child-labor bill should be passed for the District of Columbia. It is unfortunate that in the one place solely dependent upon congress for its legislation there should be no law whatever to protect children by forbidding or regulating their labor. I renew my recommendation for the immediate re-enactment of an employers’ liability law. drawn to conform to the recent decision of the supreme court. Within the limits indicated by the court, the law should be made thorough and comprehensive, and the protection it should embrace every class of employe the power of the congress can extend. In addition to a liability law protecting the employes of common car-

riers, the government shoul^pho^itsj by enactin^WsPßSnei^a^ 1 Its own employes for injury dr death Incurred in its service. It Is a reproach to us as a nation that in both federal and state legislation we have afforded less protection to public and private employes than any other industrial country of the world. Injunction Legislation. I also urge that action be taken along the line of the recommendations I have already made concerning injunctions in labor disputes. No temporary restraining order should be issued by any court without notice; and the petition for a permanent injunction upon which such temporary restraining order has been issued should be heard by the court issuing the same within a reasonable time —say, not to exceed a week or thereabouts from the date when the order was issued. It is worth considering whether it would not give greater popular confidence in the impartiality of sentences for contempt if it was required that the issue should be decided by another judge than the one issuing the injunction, except where the contempt is committed in the presence of the court, or in other case of urgency. Rate Law Amendments. I again call attention to the urgent . need of amending the interstate commerce law and especially the anti-trust lav along the lines indicated in my j last message. The interstate commerce law* should be amended so as to give railroads the right to make traffic agreements, subject to these agreements being approved by the interstate commerce commission and published in all of their details. The commission should also be given the ’ power to make public and to pass upon : the issuance of all securities hereafter issued by railroads doing an interstate commerce business. A law should be passed providing in effect that tvhen a federal court determines to place a common carrier or other public utility concern under the control of a receivership, the attorney general should have the right to nominate at least one of the receivers; or else in some other way the interests of the stockholders should be consulted, so that the management may not be wholly re-delivered to the man or men the failure of whose policy may have necessitated the crea- ; tion of the receivership. Receiverships i should be used, not to operate roads, i but as speedily as possible to pay their ' debts and return them to the proper . owners. Would Amend Anti-Trust Law. In addition to the reasons I have already urged on your attention, it has now become important that there [ should be an amem. nent of the anti-1 FAMILY RUNS IN HARD LUCK. I Philadelphia People Have Good Reason j to Complain of Fate. Here is a real hard-luck story. Two months ago the six-year-old son of Frederick Levy of 624 South AnTerican street, Philadelphia, fell in front of a street, car and had his left arm ' severed a’ the shoulder. Before the ; lad was released from the Pennsylvania hospital his moth.-r and three ' other children were removed to the Municipa hospital with fever.

trust law, because of the uncertainty as to how this law affects combinations among labor men and farmers, if the combination has any tendency to restrict interstate commerce. All of these combinations, if and while existing for and engaged in the promotion of innocent and proper purposes, should be recognized as legal. As I have repeatedly pointed out, this antitrust law was a most unwisely drawn statute. It was perhaps inevitable that in feeling after the right remedy the first attempts to provide such should be crude; and it was absolutely imperative that some legislation should be passed to control, in the interest of the public, the business use of the enormous aggregations of corporate wealth that are so marked a feature of the modern industrial world. But the present antitrust law, in its construction and working, has exemplified only too well the kind of legislation which, under the guise of being thoroughgoing, is drawn up in such sweeping form as to become either ineffective or else mischievous. In the modern industrial world combinations are absolutely necessary; they are necessary' among business men, they are necessary among laboring men, they are becoming more and more necessary among farmers. Some of these combinations are among the most powerful of all instruments for wrongdoing. Others offer the only effective way of meeting actual business needs. It is mischievous 'and unwholesome to keep upon the statute books unmodified a law, like the antitrust j law, which, while in practice only j partially effective against vicious combinations, has nevertheless in theory been construed so as sweepingly to prohibit every combination for the transaction of modern business. Some real good has resulted from this law. But the time has come when it is imperative to modify it. Such modification is urgently needed for the sake of the business men of the country, for the sake of the wageworkers and for the sake of the farmers. The congress can not afford to leave it on the statute books in its present shape. Remedies Advised. It has now become uncertain how far this law may Involve all labor organizations and farmers’ organizations, as well as all business organizations, in conflict with the law; or, if we secure literal compliance with the law, how far it may result in the destruction of the organization necessary for the transaction of modern business, as well as of labor organizations and farmers’ organizations, completely check the wise movement for securing business cooperation among farmers, and put back half a century the progress of the movement for the betterment of labor. A bill has been presented in congress to remedy this situation. Some such measure as this bill is needed in the Interest of all engaged in the industries which are essential to the country's well-being. I do not pretend to say the exact shape that the bill should take, and the suggestions I have to offer are tentative; and my views would apply equally to any other measure which would

achieve the desired end. Bearing this | yimind T Tnereiy tentatively, the following changes in the law: The substantive part of the antitrust law should remain as at present; that is, every contract in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states or wdth foreign nations should continue to be declared illegal; provided, however, that some proper governmental authority (such as the commissioner of corporations acting under the secretary of commerce and labor) be allowed to pass on any such contracts. Probably the best method of providing for this would be to enact that any contract subject to the prohibition contained in the antitrust law. Into which It is desired to enter, might be filed with 1 the bureau of corporations or other api propriate executive body. This would , provide publicity. Within, say, 60 , days of the filing—which period could ' be extended by order of the depart- ! ment whenever for any reason it did I not give the department sufficient I time for a thorough examination —the executive department having power might forbid the contract, which would then become subject to the provisions of the antitrust law, if at all in restraint of trade. Jf no such prohibition was issued, the contract would then only be liable to attack on the ground that it I constituted an unreasonable restraint of trade. Whenever the period of filing had passed without any such prohibition, the contracts or combinations could be disapproved or forbidden only after notice and hearing with a reasonable provision for summary review on appeal by the courts. Labor or- । ganizations, farmers’ organizations, I and other organizations not organized for purposes of profit, should be allowed to register under the law by giving the location of the head office, the charter and by-laws, and the names and addresses of their principal officers. In the interest of all these organizations—business, labor, and farmers’ organizations alike—the present provision permitting the recovery of threefold damages should be abolished, and as a substitute therefor the right of recovery allowed for should be only the damages sustained by the plaintiff and the cost of suit, including a reasonable attorney’s fee. The law should not affect pending I suits; a short statute of limitations । should be provided, so far as the past ■ is concerned, not to exceed a year. ] Moreover, and even more in the inter- ' est of labor than of business combinai tions, all such suits brought for causes of action heretofore occurred j should be brought only if the contract : or combination complained of was unI fair or unreasonable. It may be well Some day large eight-year-old Fred- ■ erick Levy, at home with his father, j ran from the house on an errand. I Within a stone’s throw of his home he I slipped and fell in front of a trolley car. The left foot was taken off at the | ankle. As he was being hurried to the : Pennsylvania hospital the wagon in which he had been placed collided with another wagon at Fifth and South streets. The driver, Armond I Scherer of 936 North Eighth street was thrown to the pavement and his [ arm was broken. The injured lai was

’ to remember that all of the suits hitherto brought by the government under , the antitrust law have been in cases where the combination or contract was I in fact unfair, unreasonable, and * against the public interest. Labor Organizations. It is important that we should encourage trade agreements between employer and employe where they are just and fair. A strike is a clumsy weapon for righting wrongs done to labor, and we should extend, so far as possible, the process of conciliation and arbitration for strikes. Moreover, violence, disorder and coercion, when committed in connection with strikes, should be as promptly and as sternly repressed as when committed in any other connection. But strikes themselves are, and should be, recognized to be entirely legal. Combinations of workingmen have a peculiar reason for their existence. The very wealthy individual employer, and still more the very wealthy corporation, stand at an enormous advantage when compared to the individual workingman; and while there are many cases where it may not be necessary for laborers to form a union, in many other cases it is indispensable, for otherwise the thousands of small units, the thousands of individual workingmen, will be left helpless in their dealings with the big one unit, the big individual or corporate employer. Twenty-two years ago, by the act of June 29, 1886, trades unions were recognized by law, and the right of laboring people to combine for all lawful purposes was formally recognized, this right including combinations for mutual protection and benefits, the regulation of wages, hours and conditions of labor, and the protection of the individual rights of the workmen in the prosecution of their trade or trades; and in the act of June 1, 1898, strikes were recognized as legal in the same provision that forbade participation in or instigation of force or violence against persons or property, or the attempt to prevent others from working, by violence, threat or intimidation. The business man must be protected in person and property, and so must the farmer and the wageworker; and as regards all alike, the right of peaceful combination for all lawful purposes should bo explicitly recognized. Objects to Boycott. The right of employers to combinej and contract with one another and 1 with their employes should be expUc-1 itly recognized - ; and so should the ] right of the employes to combine and ; to contract with one another and with ' the employers, and to seek peaceably to persuade others to accept their views, and to strike for the purpose Oi peaceably obtaining from employers satisfactory terms for their labor. Nothing should be done to legalize either a blacklist or a boycott that would be illegal at common law. this being the type of boycott defined and condemned by the anthracite strike commission. The question of financial legislation is now receiving such attention in both houses that we have a right to expect action,before the. clasaoLfh^x. 'Tsession. It Is urgently necessary that 5 there should be such action. Moreover, action should be taken to establish - postal savings banks. These postal - savings banks are imperatively needed t for the benefit of the wageworkers and 3 men of small means, and will be a vals uable adjunct to our whole financial - system. 3 Tariff Revision. 1 The time has come when we should 3 prepare for a revision of the tariff. ' This should be, and Indeed must be, 3 preceded by careful investigation. It 5 is peculiarly the province of the con--3 gress and not of the president, and int deed peculiarly the province of the 1 house of representatives, to originate 3 a tariff bill and to determine upon its 1 । terms; and this I fully realize. Yet it ■ ! seems to me that before the close of • | this session provision should be made * J for collecting full material which I I will enable the congress elected next ' I fall to act immediately after it comes i I into existence. This would necessitate : । some action by the congress at its - ; present session, perhaps in the shape of directing the proper committee to I gather the necessary information, both ’ through the committee itself and ’ through government agents who should report to the committee and . should lay before it. the facts which ■ would permit it to act with prompt ; and intelligent fairness. These govern- : ment agents, if it is not deemed wise - to appoint individuals from outside the • public service, might with advantage ; be members of the executive departments, designated by the president, on his own motion or on the request of the committee,, to act with it. I am of the opinion, however, that one change in the tariff could with advantage be made forthwith. Our forests need every protection, and one method of protecting them would be to put upon the free list wood pulp, with a corresponding reduction upon paper made from wood pulp, when they come from any country that does not put an export duty upon them. Waterways Commission. Ample provision should be made for a permanent waterways commission, with whatever power is required to make it effective. The reasonable expectation of the people will not be met unless the congress provides at this session for the beginning and prosecution of the actual work of waterway improvement and control. The congress should recognize in fullest fashion the fact that the subject of the conservation of our natural resources, with which this commission deals, is literally vital for the future of the nation.

AN INTERESTING CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT Any Child Can Do It—The Result Is Almost Like Magic—Useful, Too. Anything in the nature of a chemical experiment is always interesting and usually educative. Here is a simple experiment which any child can perform and which is instructive in a very practical way: Get a bit of White Lead about the size of a pea. a piece of charcoal, a common candle in a candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop out a little hollow in the charcoal to hold the White Lead, then light the candle, take the charcoal and lead in one hand and the blow-pipe in the other, with the large end of the blowpipe between the lips; blow the flame of the candle steadily against the bit of White Lead on the charcoal and if the White Lead is pure it will presently resolve itself into little shining i globules of metallic lead, under the intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving I no residue. ; If, however, the White Lead is adul- | terated in the slightest degree, it will I not wholly change into lead. So, it will be seen, that this experiment is not only an entertaining chemical demonstration, but also of practical use in the home. White~Lead is the most important ingredient of paint. It should be bought pure and unadulterated and mixed with pure linseed ■ oil. That is the best paint. The I above easy experiment enables any- ; one to know whether the paint is the kind which will wear or not. The National Lead Company guarantee that white lead taken from a : package bearing their "Dutch Boy ■ Painter” trade-mark will prove absoI lutely pure under the blow-pipe test; I and to encourage people to make the test and prove the purity of paint beI fore using it, they will send free a | blow-pipe and a valuable booklet on I paint to anyone writing them asking • for Test Equipment.

NEURALGIA The real meaning of the word Neuralgia is nerve-pain, and any one who has suffered with the malady will not be so anxious to know of its nature as to hear of its antidote. Though scarcely recognized by the profession and people half a century ago, it is now one of the most common and painful ailments which afflict humanity. As now generally understood the word signifies an affection of the nervous system, with pain in the course of the principal nerves. The two great causes of Neuralgia are, Impoverishment of the Blood and Deficiency of Nerve Force; and the treatment of it is not so obscure as many would be led to suppose. The first thing is to relieve the pain, which is done more quickly and satisfactorily by ST. JACOBS OIL than by any other remedy known; the second object is to remove the cause, which is accomplished by the abundant use of nourishing food, of a nature to strengthen and give tone to both the muscular and nervous systems.
