PRESIDENT Roosevelt's sizzling mes
.ags 10 congress asked the enactment
"a Sffe fair employers liability law, more
Uowers for the Interstate Commerce
Eommisson, and the executive again
called to the attention of the law
makers his campaign against the spe-
niai1v privileged rich" Regarding the
EMPLOYERS liability act recently de-
dared unconstitutional by the supreme
court the president said:
AS regards the employers liability
law I advocate its immediate reenact-
ment. limiting its scope so that 1t shall
apply only to the class of cases as TO
which the court says it can constltu-
tionally apply. but strengthening its
provisions within this scope. Interstate
Employment being thus covered by an
ADEQUATE national law, the field of in
trastate employment will be left to the
action of the several states. With this
clear definition of responsibility the
states will undoubtedly give to the
performance of their duty within their
field the consideration the Importance
of the subject demands.
Il also very urgently advise that a COM
prehensive act be passed providing for
compensation by the government to all
employees injured in the government
service. Under the present law an in
the government has no remedy, and
the entire burden of the accident falls
on the helpless man, his wife, and his
young children This is an outrage
1t is matter of humiliation to the ma
ton that there should not be on our
statute books provision to meet and
partially atone for cruel misfortune
when it comes upon a man through no
fault of his own while faithfully serv-
Ing the public"
AssaiIs Injunction Abuse.
Abuse of the use of the injunction
IN labor cases provided another theme
for the executive. He declared there
is some need for action regarding the
tights and wrongs of labor from black
said:
AS regards injunctions I can do lit
1 ne out repeat what l have said in my
iast message to congress. Even though
II were possible, should consider 1T
MOST unWlse to abolish the use of the
process or Injunction. 1t is necessary
Il, ,bo 4ruer that the courts may maintain
.nelr own dignity and in order that
mey may in effective manner check
uisoruer and violence. The Judge who
uses IL cautiously and conservatiyely
sut VINO, when the need arises, uses it
te1allessly' confers the greatest SER
wee upon our people, and his preemi-
nent usefulness as public servant
should should be heartily recognized. But
