in some subsequent message to Congress
CAPTTAL-Great corporations should be managed with due
regard to the public interest as a whole. Where this can
be done under the present laws, it must be done. Where
these laws fall short, others should be enacted to supple
ment them.
LABOR-The wage workers have the right to organize and
by all peaceful means to endeavor to persuade their fellows
to join them in organizations. They have under no circum-
stances the right to commit violence upon those, whether
capitalists or wage workers, who refuse to support their
organization, or side with those with whom they ar at odds:
The Government can neither discriminate for nor against
non-union men who are in its employ. Where Government
employees band themselves together for the purpose o fe1tort-
ing improperly high salaries from the Government they are
guilty of a grave improperly.
The rights of Labor should be safeguarded, but wrongs should
not be permitted from unruly persons. who shield them
selves under the name of Labor.

railroads, should be amended and strengthened

gresham who refuse to give promises they cannot con-

to all rebates. ~
CITIES OvERCROwDED-Th The overcrowding of cities and
the draining OF the country districts are unhealthy and
even dangerous symptoms in our modern life. We should

American municipalities by enacting and enforcing needed
laws for the District of Columbia
There should be severe child labor and factory inspection laws.

the option of the holder.
MMIGRATION-We should not admit masses of men whose
standards of living and whose personal customs are such
that they tend to lower the level of the American wage
worker.
Good Americanism is matter of heart, of conscience, of lofty
aspiration, of sound common sense, but not of birthplace
or of creed. >' -. - 80 y. --
CRIMINAL PROsECUT1ONS-A system of procedure has
