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 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

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.

Is no reason to doubt either.

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

exacting. It must first be perfected as
an administrative Instrument.

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

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

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.
Three matters of capital Importance

have already been acted upon by the

We have not the necessary instrumen
talitlcM for Its prosecution. It Is deem
ed to be doubtful whether they could

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.
