Liability Law and
Regulation OfInterstate Com
MERGE Urged by Executive in
Strong Language.

Washington. Jan. 31.-President
Roosevelt's message on the employers
liability act and control of Interstate
commerce was sent TO the two houses
Of congress at noon today. Unusual
interest is attached to this message,
as i was expected the president would
take occasion to make his point
lstrCng. He did not content himself
With the brief outline of desirable
legislation, but went into the rela-
lions of employer and employe In
.oxtenso. and used several hundred
words In showing up" the methods
.of the Standard OIL and other inter
.ests, attacking the administration and
the department OF Justice on account
of It's policies.
The president said In part:
Employers Liability.
The recent decision Of the supreme
court in regard to the employers LA
bility act. the experience OF the inter-
state commerce commission and of the
department OF justice In enforcing
the Interstate commerce and antitrust
laws. and the grayely significant atti-
tude toward the law and It's admins
tratlon recently adopted by certain
heads of great corporations, render it
desirable that there should be addi-
tional legislation as regards certain Of
the relations between labor and cap
ltal. and between the great corpora
tions and the public.
The supreme coure has decided the
employers liability law TO be uncon-
stltutionai because it's terms apply TO
employees engaged wholly in intra-
state commerce a. well as TO employees
IN interstate commerce BY
a substantial majority the court holds
that the congress has power 10 deal
with the question In 80 Tar as inter-
state commerce is concerned
As regards the employers liability
law. / advocate It's immediate re-en-
actment. limiting IT'S scope so that IL
shall apply only TO the class OF cases
as to which the court Gays II can con
apply. but Strengthening
It's provisions within this scope. In
terstate employment being thus COW
cred by an adequate national law, the
field Of intrastate employment will be
left to the action of the several states.
with this clear definition OF response
