Washington. March 26.-A sne-
eial MESSAGE from the President was
read in both houses of Congress yes
terday, and in both it was closely
followed. In the House the declara-
ton that the time had come for re-
vision OF the tariff elected hand
clapping on the part of the Demo-
cratic members Democratic APPROX
al also was given by way of pound
ing desks to the suggestion that Con-
gress could with advantage forth
with remove the tariff on wood pulp,
with corresponding reduction upon
paper made from wood pulp.
The Republicans waited and con-
fined their applause to the message
as a Whole
In the Senate the message was re-
ceived without comment of any kind
In part the Presidents recon-
mendations are as follows:
He recommends that child labor
should be prohibited throughout the
nation. AT least a model child labor
bill should be passed for the District
of Columbia
He renews his recommendation for
the immediate re-enactment of an
employers liability law, drawn to
conform to the recent decision of the
Supreme Court.
The President also urges that ac-
ton be taken along the line of the
recommendation already made
concerning iniunctions in labor
disputes. No temporary restraining
order should be issued by any court
without notice, and the petition for
a permanent injunction upon which
such temporary restraining order has
been issued should be heard by the
court issuing the same within a rea-
sonable time-say not to exceed
week or thereabout from the date
when the order was issued
He again calls attention TO the
urgent need of amending the inter-
state commerce law, and especially
the anh-trust law along the lines
indicated in his last message.
The President says a law should
be passed providing in effect that
when a Federal Court determines to
place a ,comon carrier or any other
public utility concern under the con
troll of a receivership. the Attorney
General should have the right to
nominate at least one of the receiv-
ers, in order TO protect stockholders.
The President says it has now be-
come important that there should be
an amendment Of the antitrust law
because Of the uncertainty as TO how
this law affects combinations among
laboring men and farmers, if the
has any tendency to re-
strict interstate commerce.
The question of financial legis-
alton is now receiving much atten-
ion in both houses, and we have
light to expect action before the
lose of the session 1t is urgently
that there should be such
iction. Moreover. action should be
aiken to establish postal savings
ranks
