I Declares That Their, Opera tion Should Nat Be Stopped or Interrupted by the Con certed Action of Organized Bodies of Men Until a Pub lic Investigation Shall Have Been Instituted. -o I iijiiii 9 N one of the shortest memuure vee aent to congress President Wilson urges that early action be taken to complete his pro gram of "settlement and regulation" recommended at the last session. The message In full Is as follows: Gentlemen of the Congress: In fulfilling at this time the duty laid upon me by the constitution of communicating to you from time to time Information of the state of the Union and recommending to your con-; slderatlon such leglslatlTe measures a may be,Judpcd necessary and eipcrtl ent I shall continue the practice, which I hope has been acceptable to you, of leaving to the. reports of the several heads of the executive departments the elaboration of the detailed needs of the public service and confme my self to those nmtters of more general public policy with which It seems nec-, essnry and feasible to deal at the pres ent session of the congress. ! I realize the limitations of time un der which you will nwessarlly act at this session and shairmnke my sug gostlons as few as possible. But then were some things left undone at the Inst session which there will now be time to complete, and which It seems necessary In the Interest of the public to do at once. Ths Railroad Problem. In the first place, It seems to me Im peratively necessary that the earliest possible considers t Ion and nctlon should be accorded the remaining monsures of the program of settlement and regulation which I bad occasion to recommend fo you at the close if yonr last session In view of the public dan gers dlscloHcd by the unaccommodated difficulties which then existed and which still unhappily continue to ex 1st-between the railroads of the coun try and their . locomotive engineers. conductors and trainmen. I then recommended: First. Immediate provision for the, enlargement and' administrative reor ganization of the Interstate commerce commission along the lines embodied In the bill recently passed by the house uf 'representatives and now awnltin OPERATION OF RAILWAYS SHALL NOT BE STOPPED 4 T pass a law which forbad or prevented the individual work man to leave his work before re ceiving the approval of society in doing so would bo to adopt new principle into our jurispru dence whioh I take it for grant ed wo are not prepared to Intro duce. But the proposal that the operation of the railways of the country shstl not b stopped or interrupted by the concerted ac tion of organized bodies of men until a public investigation shall have been instituted which shall make the whol question at is sue plain for the judgment of the opinion of th nation is not to proposs any such principle. It is baud upon the very different prinoiplo that the concerted ac tion of powerful bodies of men shall net bo permitted to stop the industrial processes of the nation.

The other suggestions the Increase In the Interstate commerce commis sion's membership and in- its facilities for performing Its manifold duties, the provision for .full public Investigation aud assessment of Industrial disputes, and the grant to the executive of the power to control and oiierate the rail ways when necessary In time of war or other like public necessity I now very earnestly renew. New Legislation Necessary. The necessity for such legislation Is manifest and pressing.' Those who have Intrusted us with the responsibility and duty of serving nnd safeguard im; them in such mutters would tlud it hard, I believe, to excuse a failure to net upon these grave .matters or any UiUiecesNary postponement of action. Not only does the Interstate com merce commission 'now find It practical ly Impossible, with its present member ship and oi'vnnt.ation, to perform Its great functions promptly and thorough ly. lKit It Is not unlikely that It may , presently be found advisable to add to J Its duties still others equally heavy and exacting. It must first be perfected as an administrative Instrument. Tlu country emmot and should not consent to remain uny longer exposed to profound industrial disturbance for lack of additional means of arid Urges the Passage of the Corrupt Practices Act Reg ulating the Expenditure of Money In Elections and Fa vors More Freedom of Com bination to Those Engaged In Foreign Commerce. motlog the foreign , commerce of the country than Is now thought by some to be legal under the terms of the laws against monopoly, the bill amend ing the present organic law of Porto Rico and the bill proposing a more thorough and systematic regulation of the expenditure of money In elections, commonly called the corrupt practices act I need not labor my advice that these measures be enacted Into law. Their urgency lies In the manifest cir cumstances which render their adop tion at this time not only opportune but necessnry. Kven delay would se riously Jeopard the Interests of the country and of the government. Immediate passage of the bill to reg- ulote the expenditure of money In elections may seem to be less neces sary than the Immediate enaetmeut of the other measures to which I refer, because at least two years will elapse before another election In which fed eral oilto'9 ore to be filled, but it would greatly relieve the public mind If this Important matter were dealt with while the circumstances and the dan gers to the public morals of the pres ent method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand dear under re cent observation nnd the methods of expenditure can be frankly studied In the light of present experience. And a delay would have the further serious disn Ivantngc of postponing action un til another election was at hand and some speclnl object connected with it ml-rht be thought to be In the mind of tin se who unred it. Action can be taken now with farts for guidance and without suspicion of part inn' purpose. Enlarging Our Export Trade.

The fourth recommendation I do not 4eem It necessary to renew. The pow- nation wherever they are needed and whenever they are needed. nils Is a program of regulation, pre vention and administrative efuclency which argues its own case lu 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 has al ready acted. Its nctlon needs only the concurrence of the senate. To' Safeguard Industrial Processes. I would hesitate to recommend, and I dare aav the congress would hesitate to act nHn the suggestion should I make it, that any man In any occui tlon should be obliged by law to con tinue In an employment which he de sired to leave. To pass a law which forbade or pre vented the Individual workman to leave his work before receiving the approval of society in doing so would be to adopt a new principle Into our Jurls nrndenee which 1 take It for granted we are not pictured to introduce. Hut the proposal that the oMration of the railways of the country shall not be ,tonid or Interrupted by the concert ed action of organized bodies of men until a public Investigation shall have iiccn Instituted which shall make the .vho'e Mucstion at Issue plain for tb hnK'nicnt of the opinion of the nation 's not to propose any Mich principle. It is based uKn tin very different irlncinle that the cowerted action of Mtwcrful bodies of men shall not be lrniitted to stop the industrial pro- eww ' i tie nation, at any rate liefore shall have had an opjortu iity to acquaint itself with the merits f the case as !etveeii employee aud employer, time to form its opinion upon an lmiart!:il statement of the merits, and opportunity to coaslder all practi cable meaua of com Hint ion or arbitra tion. 1 can see nothing In that proposition but the Justifiable safeguarding by so ciety of the necessary processes of Its very life. There la nothing arbitrary or unjust In It unless it be. arbitrarily and unjustly done. It can and should be done with a full and scrupulous re gard for the interests and liberties of all concerned as well as for the per manent Interests of society ttself.

We have not the necessary instrumen talitlcM for Its prosecution. It Is deem ed to be doubtful whether they could he- created uon an adequate scale un der our present laws. We should clear away all legal obstacles and create a basis of undoubted law for It which will give fmdom without permitting unregulated license. The thing must le done now. lecause the opportunity Is here and may escae us If we hesl tale or delav. The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto l;lco Is brief and conclusive. The present laws governing the Island aud regulating the rluht and privileges of its people are not Jnt. We have ere ated expectations of extended privi lege which we have not satisfied. There Is uneasiness among the people of the Island aud even a suspicious doubt with regard to our Intentions concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily remove. We do not doubt what we wish to do In any essential particular. Wr ought to do It at on -e. Legislative Annals Enriched.
