ROOSEVELT PLEADS
FOR ANTITRUST LAW
/ PRESIDENT STRONGLY URGF4
CONGRESS TO ACTION AT
THIS SESSION.
Restrict Injunction Power-sbuses
Of Judicial Discretion Threaten
TO Destroy System.

Washington, April 2s.-Presidens
Roosevelt late yesterday afternoo,
sent to Congress a special MESSAGE
setting forth in the strongest terms
the necessity of Immediate legisla
ton strengthening the antitrust law
He reiterates his well-known yiewa
as to the grave danger to free in
stitutions from the corrupting infiu
ence of great wealth suddenly con
centrated in the hands of the few
and urges the immediate passage OF
measures similar to those he advo
Gated in his former message on the
same subject
Such legislation, he says, will be in
the interest of both the decent cor
porations 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 saws
plainly that the exception of the
unions from the operation of the
law would render the measure in
valid.
The legislation he proposes. he
points out, will not interfere in any
way with tho right of the laboring
men to combine, to conduct peaceable
strikes, to make trade agreements
with their employers and to perform
other legitimate acts. There are.
however, he points out, cases in
which trades unions may take them
selves from under the protection of
the law by attempting to interfere
with or restrain interstate commerce.
as, for example, by boycott or black
list. Hence the necessity of their
inclusion in the trust-law amend
ment
In this connection the President
pleads for immediate legislation for
the preservation of the injunction
power, the abuse of which, he de-
,lares, has placed it in jeopardy from
is enemies. This reform, he SAYS.
must be granted at once, inasmuch
IS the people demand it and expert
ence has shown that their demands
'annot safely be ignored.
Among other matters touched upon
n the message is the necessity for
n appropriation sufficient to permit
he examination of railroad books
# accounts and record under the
rovisicns of the Hepburn law,
which, it is stated, will be shorn of
lost of its valuable feature if the
Interstate Commerce Commission Is
OF given means with which to con-
uct its investigators into the opera
on of railroads incompetently or
managed
The President cones on to say that
is his personal belief that ulti-
lately we shall have to adopt a Ma
onal corporation law, though he is
ell aware that this may be impos-
Bile at present.
The man who breaches hatred of
ealth honestly acquired is a menace
the community. But his counter
lrt in evil is to be found in that
lrticular kind of multi-millionaire,
whom it has been well said that
S face has grown hard and cruel
lille his body has grown soft; whose.
n is fool and his daughter a for
5n princess.

is the record so far of a tornado that
originated in the West two days ago,
sweeping Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Georgia.
1t has left a path Of death, desola-
ton and want in its wake, seriously
interrupted all communication be-
tween cities in the South and brought
about chaotic conditions in many
smaller towns.
Mississippi, already sufferer from
more than one tornado this year,
has again borne the brunt of the
winds and those who lost their lives
in that State place the death list
near 800, with a thousand or more
injured.
In Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and
Georgia the death lists are also large,
with serious loss of life in Arkansas
and Tennessee. Authentic informa-
ton is In many instances lacking,
owing to the crippled facilities for
communication.
In half a dozen communities mar

rible was the destruction, and 50
helpless were the stricken people |
left by the disaster. Serious dis
orders have occurred in some places,
including Amite, La. Looting and
other crimes have been reported, but .
those instances have on the whole
been rare.
Sveral places have issued appeals
for aid, and in Mississippi Governor
Noel has been asked to provide tents
for the homeless.
The tornadoes lasted in all
