orally, but to regulate q rate already
fixed or originated by the roads upon
complaint and after investigation A
heavy penalty should be eNacted from
any corporation which fails TO respect
an order Of the commission. I regard
this power to establish maximum
rate as being essential to any scheme
Of real reform In the matter Of railway
regulation.
It is worth while considering whether
II would not be wise to confer on the
government the right Of civil action
against the beneficiary Of a rebate for
at least twice the value Of the rebate.
This would help stop what h really
blackmail. Elevator allowances shOud
be stopped, for they have now grown
to such an extent that they are demon.
aliEing and are used as rebates,
Private Car Lines.
All private car lines, industrial roads,
FefrigeratOr charges and the IKE
should be expressly put under the su-
pervislOn Of the interstate commerce
commission or some similar body %
far as rates and agreements practical.
y affecting rates are concerned. 4 ~
bate IN icing charges OF IN mileage OF im
q division Of the rate for refrigeFating
charges Is just as pernicious as q re-
bate in any other way.
There should be publicity Of the &C
counts Of common carriers. Only In
this way can violations OF ev0Bions Of
the law be surely detected. A system
u examination Of railroad accounts
should be provided similar TO that now
conducted into the national banks by
the bank examiners. A few FIRST class
railroad accountants, II they had prop
e. direction and proper authority to In
Spect books and papers, could accom-
plish much in preventing willful viola
ions Of the law.
BmDloYeFs' Liability Law.
In my annual message 20 the Fifty
eighth congress at tn second session !
recommended the passage Of an en-
plOyers' liability law for the District Of
Columbia and In our navy yards. re
neWed that recommendation IN my
message 20 the Fifty eighth congress az
It's second session and further suggest.
cd the appointment Of a commission 20
make a comprehensive study OF en-
plOyers' liability with a view to the en-
Actment OF a wise and constitutional
law covering the subject, applicable 90
all industries within the scope Of the
federal power. / hope that such law
will be prepared and enacted aa speed
lily as possible.
There has been demand for depFivlng
courts Of the power 10 issue lniunctiOnB
IN labor disputes. Such special Ilmlta.
ton Of the equity powers Of our courts
would be most unwise. II 10 true that
some Judges have misuEed this power
but this does not Justify q denlal Of the
power any more than an improper eX-
ercise Of the power % call a strike By q
labor header would justify the denial OF
the right 10 strike. The remedy 10 90
regulate the procedure By requiring the
judge 60 give due notice 10 the adverse
parties before granting the writ. the
hearing % be ex parts II the adverse
party does not appear at the time and
place ordered. What Il due notice must
depend upon the facts Of the case. II
should not be used a. q preteIt 90 per.

Ing OF Iifs OF property. OF course dis
wUud not autbOgiEe the issuing d q
