prove tho action Of our National and State

thority over all National highways of trade
by prescribing and enforcing such reasona--
bio regulations as will tend to promote
safety Of travel, secure fair return for capital
invested and fair wages to employees, pro.
venting mismanagement, improper discrim-
nations, and the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of officials
at tho expense Of stockholders and shippers
and employees. Third, that provision be
made for statutory arbitrations between en-
ployers and employees To adjust oontrovcr-.
sizes, reconcile interests, aud establish Justice
