BRYAN GIVES VIEW OF DECISION
Thinks Congress should Have Re-
Iievsd LabOring Men.

JACKSON. Mich, April ls-William J.
Bryan, after reading the dispatch from
Washington relative to the probable action
by congress on a number OF measures
which the president has particularly urged
said:
think the president and congress are
right on some OF those questions and wrong
ON others. For instance, think that con-
Gress was wrong In not relieving the labor
ing men from the operation OF government
BY Injunction and the antitrust law. I
think the president was wrong IN tying the
labor proposition to the proposition in re-
gard 70 the trusts. His plan relating to
the trusts was, 1 think, In favor OF the
trusts rather than against them. The two
propositions ought to be considered sep
erately and each upon its own merits. I
think congress 10 wrong in opposing the
measure % prevent the watering OF stock
and that the president Is right in endeSvor-
ing TO prevent child labor In the District OF
Columbia. ! am glad that congress and
the president agreed about the improve
Inent OF the inland waterways and the
quantity OF compensation 10 employees in
jured IN public service. This does not cover
the whole ground, but Il Is what I mean
Wien | say congress and the president are
right in some things and wrong in others.
