FROM THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.

'Certain wealthy men have
banded together to work for a
reaction. Their endeavor is to
overthrow and discredit all who
honestly administer the law, to
prevent any additional legisla-
tion which would check and re-
strain them and to secure, if
possible, a freedom from all re-
straint, which will permit every
unscrupulous wrongdoer to do
what he wishes unchecked, pro-
vided he has enough money"
"When we are able to put the
real wrongdoer in prison, this is
what we strive to do. This is
what we have actually done x**
in the Gaynor and Green case
and in the case of the misappli-
cation of funds in connection
with certain great banks in Chi
cago."
'sThe business which is hurt
by the movement for honesty is
the kind of business which, in
the long run, it pays the country
to hurt"
"Apologists for great corpor-
ations that oppose federal action
are false to the people and are
laying up a day of wrath for the
corporations themselves"
81 think that the federal gov.
ernment must assume a certain
measure of control over the
physical operation of railways In
the handling of interstate traf-
fic."
CAS- regards the employers
liability law, I advocate it's i'm
mediate re-enactment, limiting
its scope so that it shall apply
only to the class of cases as TO
which the court says it can con-
stitutionally apply, but strength
ening it's provisions within this
scope"
SEVEN though it were possible,
should consider 1t most unwise
to abolish the use of the process
of injunction"
SIT is all wrong to use the in
junction to prevent the entirely
PROPER and legitimate actions OF
labor organizations in their
struggle for industrial better
ment, or under the guise of pro-
tecting property rights unwar-
rantedly to invade the funda-
mental rights of the individual"
