CAPITAL. AND LABOR. The relation* of capital and labor, and •specially of organised capital and organised Inbor. to each other and to tb* public at Urge come second In lmport a Dos only to the Intltnat* questions of family life. Our peculiar form of government, with It* eharp division of authority between the nation and the ■ereral state*, bus been on the whole far more advantageous to our development than a more strongly centralized government. But It is undoubtedly responsible for much of the difficulty of meeting with adequate legislation the new problems presented by the total change In industrial conditions on thl* continent during the last half century. In actual practice It has proved exceedingly difficult, and In many caeei Impossible, to get unanimity of wl*« action among the various states on these subject*. From the very nature of the case thl* is especially true of the laws affecting the employment of capital In huge masses. With regard to tabor, the problem Is no lea* Important but it Is simpler. As long a* the states retain the primary control of the police power the circumstances must be altogether extreme which require Interference by the federal author!He*, whether In the way of safeguarding the right* of tabor or In the way of seeing that woung Is not done by anruly person* who shield themselves behind the name of labor. If there ta resistance to the federal courts. Interference with the mails or Interstate commerce or molestation of federal property, or If the state authorities In some crista which they are unable to tare call for help, then the federal government may Interfere; but. though each Interference may be caused by a condition of things arising out of trouble connected with some question of tabor, the interference Itself simply take* the form of restoring order without regard to the questions which have caused the breach of order. In the District of Columbia and In the territories the federal taw cover* the entire field of govsmuisnL But the tabor question to only acuta In populous eentsrs of eommores, manofacturss or mining. Nevsrthstass both in tbo enactment mad in tho enforcement of taw the federal government within Re reetrictod sphere should set an example he the state government*. ta a matter so vital ss this

affecting labor. LABOR UNIONS

I believe that under modern Industrial conditions It Is often necessary and evon when not necessary It la yet often wise that there should be organization of tabor In order better to secure the righto of the Individual wageworker. All encouragement should be given to any such organisation so long as it ta conducted with a due and decent regard for the rights of others. There are In this country some tabor union* which have habitually and other tabor unions which have often been among the most effective agmita to working far good cltixea*bflFnfia for uplifting the qpndltlon of those wboee welfare should be closest to our hearts. But when any tabor union seeks Improper «a4* or seeks to achieve proper ends by improper means all good clttaens, and mere especially all honorable public servaata, must oppose the wrongdolag as rasaiutety aa they would oppose the wrongdoing of any gnat corporation.

ENTIRE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE. Wageworkers have aa entire right to organise and by aU peaceful and honorable means to efadeevor to persuade t^rir fellows to Join with them la organisations. They have a legal rltftt, which, according to ctrcurnstaacee. may or may net be a moral right, to refuse to work 1a company

mob rale la iptoterabl* la any form. The wageworkers am peculiarly sod tied to the protectha. and the met agrown! ef the taw. Wherever the ttonal government has power th should be a stringent emplojm * UabUKy law, which sheoU apply to the dev-

out to tb* eoncree* the urgent need of l^ldottaa ta tr* interest of the public safety II ml line the hour* of labor for railroad eurpl vwev In train service up oa re lire* d* eiur««*d In Interstate eo-n-mere* and providing that only trained and experienced persona be employed In positions of respo.ialbUlty connected with the operation of trains. The safety appliance taw. a* amended by the act of Alarch 2. 1803. has proved beneficial to railway employees, and In order that Its provisions may be properly carried out the forfle of Inspectors provided for by appropriation should be largely Increased. Tbta service 4uu paaeed the experimental *tage and should receive generous recognition by the congress. UNIONISM IN GOVERNMENT OF-

FICES.

There la no objection to employees of the government forming or belonging to union*, but the government can neither discriminate for nor discriminate against nononion men who are In Its employment or who seek to be employed under It. Moreover. It ta a very grave Impropriety for government employees to bsnd themselves together for the purpose of extorting Improperly high' salaries from the government. Especially ta thl* true of those within the classified aerrice. The letter riera, both municipal and rural, are aa a whole an excellent body of public •errant*. They should be amply paid. But their payment must be obtained by arguing their claims fairly and honorably before the congress and not by banding together for the defeat those congressmen who refuse to give promisee which they cannot science give. The admintatratlon has taken steps to prevent and punish abuses of this nature, but It will be wise for the congress to supplement this action by legislation. BUREAU OF LABOR Much can be done by tbe government In tabor matters merely by giving publicity to certain condition*. Tbe bureau of tabor has done excellent work of this kind In many different direction*. I shall shortly lay before yon In a special message the full report of tbe initlgatlon of the bureau of tabor Into tbe Colorado mining strike, as this Is s strike In which certain very evil force*, which are more or less at work everywhere under tbe conditions of modern Industrialism, became startlingly prom Incut. It la greatly to be wished that tbe department of commerce and tabor. through the tabor bureau, should compile and arrange for the congress list of the tabor taws of the various states and should be given tbe means to investigate and report to the congress upon tbe tabor condition* In tbe manufacturing and mining region* throughout the country, both as to wages, as to hours of labor, as to tbe tabor of women and children and _ to the effect ta tb# varioua tabor centers of immlgratloo from abroad. In this Investigation especial attention should be paid to tbe condition* of child -tabor and child tabor legislation

In tbe several states. CORPORATIONS.

When we come to deal with groat corporations the neefl for tbe government to act directly Is far greater than In the case of tabor, because great corporations can become such only by engaging in Interstate commerce, and interstate commerce is peculiarly the field of tbe general government. It la an absurdity to expect to eliminate the abuses In great corporation* by state action. It ta difficult to be patient with an argument that such matters should be left to the states, because more than one state pursnee tbe policy of creating on easy terms corporations which are never operated within that state at all, but ta other etates whose laws they Ignore. Tbe national government alone’ can deal adequately with these great corporation*. To try with them ta an Intemperate, destructive or demagogic spirit would ta all probability mean that nothing whatever would be accomplished, and with absolute certainty that If anything were accompli*bed It would be of a harmful nature. Tbe American peo pie need to continue to show tbe very qualities that they have shown—that ta. moderation, good sense, the earnest desire to avoid doing any damage and yet the quiet determination to proceed, step by step, without halt and without hurry, ta eliminating or at toast ta minimising whatever of mischief or of evil there ta to Interstate commerce ta the conduct of great corpora tton*. Tbey are acting ta no spirit of hostility to wealth, either ' ’

panto. They are man any men th

man. On the contrary, they are friend ly alike toward rich man and toward poor man. provide?! only that each acta

-

must be done. Where

then lawk come short other* obonld be enacted to supplement them. BUREAU OF CORPORATIONS. The bureau of carper* 11 one has made careful preliminary taveatfgatlon of many Important corporations. It will m«ke a special report on tbe beef ta-

ustry.

The policy ef tb# bureau ta to eecompltah the purposes of It* creation by co-operation, not antagonism; by making constructive legislation, not destructive prosecution, tbe Immediate object of its inquiries; by conservative Investigation of law and fact *nd by refusal to Issue Incomplete and hence necessarily Inaccurate reporta. Ita policy being thus one of open Inquiry Into and not attack npou business, tbe bureau has been able to gain not only tbo confidence, but better still, tbe co-op-eration. of men engaged In legitimate businea* Tbe bureau offers to tbe congress tbe mean* of -ettlng at the coet of production of our v«rlou«i grant etaplee of Of necessity the careful Investigation of ■ pedal corporation* will afford the commissioner knowledge of certain business facta, tbe publication of which might be an Improper Infringement of private right*. Tb# method of making public the results of tbeae Invent iga tlona affords, under the taw, a means for tbe protection of private rights. The congress will have aU facts except such ** would give to another corporation Information whlcjj would Injure the legitimate boaine** of a competitor and destroy tbe Incentive for Individual euiwriority and thrift. Tbe bureau hns also made exhaustive examination* Into the legal condition under which corporate business 1s carried on In the various states, intp til Judicial decisions on the subject and into the various systems of corporate taxation In use. I call special attention to tbe report of tbe chief of the burean, and I earnestly ask that the congress carefully consider the report and recorn mends tlona of tbe commissioner on tbta subject. The business of Insurance vitally affects the great mass of the. people of the. United States and U national and not local In it* application. It Involves a multitude of transaction* among the people'of the different state* and between American companies and foreign governments. 1 urge that tb# congreee carefully consider whether the power of tbe bureau of corporation* cannot constitutionally be extended to cover Interstate transactions ta Insur-

Above all etae we must strive to keep tbe highways of commerce open to all equal terms, and to do this It Is nectary to put e complete stop to all rebate*. Whether the shipper or tbe ralh road ta to blame makes no difference. Tbe rebate must be stopped, tbe abuse* of tbe private car and private terminal track and side track systems most be stopped, and tbe legislation of tbe Fif-ty-eighth congress which declares it to be unlawful for any person or corporation to offer, grant give, solicit accept or receive any rebate, concession or discrimination ta i aspect of the transportation of any property ta Interstate or foreign commerce whereby such property shall by any device whatever be transported at a less rate than that named ta tbe tariff* published by the carrier most be enforced. While J am of the opinion that at-present It would be nndeslrable If It were not Impracticable finally to clothe the Interstate commerce commission with general authority to fix railroad rates. I do believe that as a fair security to shippers tbe conuntaslon should be vested with the power where a given rate has been challenged and after fall bearing found to be unreasonable to decide, subject to judicial review, what shall be a reasonable rate to take Its place, tbe ruling of the commission to take effect immediately and to obtain untass and until it ta reversed by the court of re-

view.

Steamship companies engaged ta Interstate commerce and protected ta oar coastwise trade should be held to a strict observance of the Interstate commerce set.
