unless for good reasons they were direct
ed to do so by the interstate commerce
commission. 1t is greatly TO be desired
that some way might be found by which
an agreement as TO transportation with
in a state intended to operate as fraud
upon the federal interstate commerce
laws could be brought under the juris-
diction of the federal authorities. At
present it occurs that large shipments of
interstate traffic are controlled by con-
cessions on purely state business. which
Of course amounts to an evasion of the
law. The commission should have power
to enforce fair treatment by the great
trunk lines Of lateral and branch lines.
Immediate Action Urged.
l urge upon the congress the need of
providing for expeditions action by the
interstate commerce commission in all
these matters whether in regulating
rates for transportation or for storing
or for handling property or commodities
in transit. The history of the cases liti-
gated under the present commerce act
shows that its efficacy has been to a great
degree destroyed by the weapon of delay
almost the most formidable weapon in
the hands of those whose purpose II Is
to violate the law.
The president asks for legislation com
pelling railroads to install block systems on
their lines, and also calls the attention of
congress to the excessive hours of labor
OF train service employees of the railroad
companies are often subjected to. He rec
ommends that a commission be appointed
to study of employers liability with the OBJ
ject of the enactment of a law covering the
subject and applicable to all industries
within the scope of the federal power.
The Labor Question.
The labor question is treated of at con-
siderable length, and in this connection the
president says:
There has been demand for depriving
courts OF the power to issue injunctons
in labor disputes. Such special limita-
ton of the equity powers of our courts
would. be most unwise II Is true that
some Judges have misused this power;
but this does not justify a denial of the
mower any more than an improper eNer-
else of the power to call strike by a
labor leader would justify the denial OF
the right to strike. The remedy is TO
regulate the procedure by requiring the
Judge to give due notice to the adverse
parties before granting the writ the hear
ing to be cX parte if the adverse party
does not appear at the time and place
ordered What i due notice must depend
upon The facts of the case; it should not
be used as a pretcXt to permit violation
of law. or the jeopardizng Of life or
property OF course this would not au-
thoriZe the issuing of "A restraining order
or Injunction in any case in which IL is
not already authorized by existing law
