There should be publicity Of the &C

! In my annual message 10 the Fifty
( eighth congress at its second session ]
1 recommended the passage OF I'm ul9.
4 ployers' liability law for the District q
! Columbia and in our navy yards. ! TO-
/ newed that recommendation in my
message to the Iifty-eig1th congre5a 1T
/ its second session and further suggcst
| ed the appointment Of a commission 10
make a comprehensive study of eyH-
ployers' liability with view to the en-,
! actment of Il wise and constitutional
law covering the subject, applicable e
all industries within the scope of tie
federal power | hope that such a law
will be prepared and enacted as speed
lily as possible.
There has been demand for depriying
courts of the power TO issue iuiunctjons
in labor disputes. Such special limita
tion of the equity powers of our courts
would be most unwise, II il true the
some judges have misused this power.
but this does not justify denial OF t:!e
power any more than an improper O.
ercise of the power to call a strike ly
labor leader would justify the denial of
the right to strike The remedy Is u
regulate the procedure by requiring Tic
judge to give due notice to the adverse
parties before granting the writ, th2
hearing to he ex parte II the adverse
; ! party does not appear at the time au8
place ordered. What is due notice must
depend upon the facts of the case. Ii
should not be used as a pretext to Pc
NIT violation Of law or the jeoplrdi1-
ing of life or property. OF course thtt
would not authorize the issuing Of g
. restraining order or injunction in on-
case in which it is not already author
lied by existing law.
= ] renew the recommendation | made
? in my last annual message for an in
yestigation by the department of com
merce and labor of general labor cOnd.-
tons. especial attention to be paid to
the conditions of child labor and child
labor legislation ia the several states.
Such an investigation should take into
account the various problems with
! which the question Of child labor Is
connected. In such a republic as ours
, the one thing that we cannot afford to
, neglect In the problem of turning out
decent citizens The future of the rs,
b; ton depends upon the citizenship OF
the generations TO come. The children
| of today are those who tomorrow will
p shape the destiny of our land, and we
cannot afford to neglect them The leg
islature of Colorado has recommended
i ! that the national government provide
some general measure for the protec-
: ton from abuse OF children and dumb
d animals Throughout the United States

Dor should also make a thorough inves
