PRESIDENT TALKS STRAIGHT.
Warns Congress Against Abuses Of
judicial System.

Washington, April 28.-President
Roosevelt this afternoon sent to
congress a special message setting
forth in the strongest of terms the
necessity of immediate legislation
Strengthening the antitrust law. He
,reiterates his well-known views as to
the grave danger to free institutions
from the corrupting influence of
great wealth suddenly concentrated
in the hands of the few, and urges
the immediate passage OF measures
similar to those he advocated in his
former message on the same sub
ject.
Such legislation, he says, will be
in the interest of both the decent
corporations and the law-abiding
labor unions. In this connection, he
sounds a warning to the labor lead
ers who have objected to the inclu-
sion of labor organizations in the
ANTITRUST law amendment, and says
plainly that the exception of the
unions from the operation of the law
would render the measure invalid.
A strong effort has been made to
have labor organizations completely
exempted from the operations of the
law, whether or not their operations
are in restraint of trade. Such ex-
emption would make the bill uncon-
stitutional 1t is not possible wholly
to exempt labor organizations from
the workings of this law, and they
who insist upon wholly exempting
them are merely providing that their
status shall be kept wholly un-
changed, and that they shall con-
tinue to be exposed to the action
which they now dread.
Obviously an organization not
formed for profit should not be re-
quired to furnish statistics in any
way as complete as those furnished
by organizations for profit. More
over, so far as labor is engaged in
protection only, its claims to be ex-
empted from the antitrust law are
This would substantially
cover the right of laborers to COM
bine, to strike peaceably and to en-
ter into trade agreements with en-
ployers. But when labor undertakes
in an unlawful manner to Drevent
the distribution and sale Of the pro-
ducts of labor it has left the fold OF
protection and its action may be
plainly in restraint of interstate
trade
