RATE REGULATION
RECOMMENDED
BY PRESIDENT



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
hearing to be ex parte IL the adverse
party does not appear at the time and
place ordered. What Is due notice must
depend upon the facts OF the case. II
should not be used as Il pretext to per-
NIT violation Of law on the jeopardiz-
ing of life or property. OF course this
would not authorize the issuing of a
restraining order or injunction in any
case in which it Is not already author
lied by existing law.
| renew the recommendation ] made
In my last annual message for an In
vestigation BY the department OF com
merce and labor OF general labor condi-
lions. espec II attention to be prid to
the conditions OF child labor and child
labor legislation In the several states.
Such an IN estigation 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 10
neglect Is the problem Of turning out
decent citizens The future of the ma
tf0n depends upon the citizenship Of
the generations TO come The children
Of today are those who tomorrow viii
shape the destiny of our land, and we
cannot afford to neglect them. The leg
islature Of Colorado has recommended
that the national government provide
some general measure for the protec-
tion from abuse Of children and dumb
animals throughout the United States

trust will be your favorable consider

As 20 Women Who Work.
The department of commerce and la
Dor should also make d thorough inves-
tigati0n OF the conditions OF women In
industry. Over 100000 American wo-
men are now engaged IN gaInfuI occu-
patIons, yet there Is an almost complete
dearth Of data upon which TO base any
trustworthy conclusions as regards a
subject as important as It Is vast and
complicated. The introduction Of wo-
men into industry Is working change

Every consideration Of prudence de-
mands the addition Of the element Of
elasticity to our currency system. The
evil does not consist In an inadequate
volume Of money, but in the rigidlty
Of this volume, which does not respond
as It should to the varying needs Of
communities and Of seasons. Imitation
must be avoided, but some provision
should be made that will insure a
larger volume OF money during the fall
and winter months than IN the less ac-
tive seasons OF the year, so that the
currency will contract against specuIa-
ton and VIII expand for the needs Of
legitimate business. AT present the

Santo Domingo has now made an mp
peal 10 us, aud not only every principle
OF wisdom. bur every generous instinct
within Us, bids US respond to the mp
peal. The conditions IN Santo Domingo
have for number Of years grown
from bad to worse until a year ago all
society was ON the verge Of dissolution.
Fortunately just at this time a ruler
sprang up In Santo Domingo who. with
his colleagues. saw the dangers threat
ening their country and appealed to the
friendship of the only neighbor who
possessed the power and. the will to
help them. There was imminent dan
ger OF foreign Intervention. The pa
thence Of foreign creditors had become
exhausted. and at least two foreign ma
tons were on the point of Intervention
and were only prevented by the unoiii-
cial assurance of this government that
1t would Itself strive to help Santo
Domingo IN her hour of need.
Accordingly, the executive depart
ment of our government negotiated a
treaty under which we are trying to
help the Dominican people to straight
en- out their finances. This treaty is
pending before the senate. In the
meantime temporary arrangement
has been made under which the Domin-
lean government has appointed Amer
leans to all the important positions in
the customs service, and they are see
ing to the honest collection OF the rev.
enues, turning over As per cent to the
government for running expenses and
putting the other 50 per cent into a
safe depositary for equitable division
In case the treaty shall be ratified
among the various creditors, whether
European or American.
Under the course taken stability and
order and all the benefits OF peace are
at last coming to Santo Domingo. dan
ger Of foreign Intervention has been
suspended. and there is at last pros
pect that all creditors will get justice
no more and no less. If the arrange
ment is terminated by the failure Of
the treaty chaos win follow, and sooner
or later this government may be In
volyed in serious difficulties with for
eign governments over the island or
else may be forced itself TO intervene
In the island in some unpleasant fash
Ion.

anese army and navy is especially
worthy of study.
Our navy must, relatively 10 the ma
vIes OF other nations, always be Of
greater size than orr army. We have
most wisely continued for number Of
years to build up our navy. and Il
has now reached fairly high standard
of efficiency. This standard must not
only be maintained, but increased. i
does not seem to me necessary. how

the immediate future, be increased be

What Is now clearly necessary Is 4
substitute efficient for inefficient units

becomes apparent that they are use

attained by adding single battleshiI

NEW YORK, May 13.-Therc were no

so few peanuts have come to the market that

that there arc no more to come. What strag-

mere low grade peanuts than high grades. but
this season tho proportion seems to be relatives

has not been very desirable, being NANNY OF
a medium character, OF which there has been

There has boon no change In prices for several

feature worthy Of note. There Is fair at ::
tendance OF oil classes OF buyers In constant
attendance upon the sales, and all Of them are
buying more or less. Medium tobaccos Of NIL
classes look very reasonable in price. Fine
wrappers seem to have disappeared nearly
entirely from tho breaks lately. We have
had very few reports from the farmers as to
the planting. but presume from the rains We
has begun In earnest. Reports from the s5uth-
ern districts are to tho effect that the plant
Ing has not been as large as was anticipated.
Trade in round lots of redried tobaccos Is quiet.
