Another labor question has arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion. That IL Ia respect 10 the
power OF the federal courts to issue
lnjunctions Ia Industrial disputes. As
10 that. my convictions are fired. Take
away from courts. II II could be taken
away, the power TO issue injunctions
In labor disputes, and II would create
q privileged class among the laborers
and save the lawless among their num-
Der from a most needful remedy avail
able 10 all men for the protection Of
their business against lawless invasion.
rhe proposition that business IL not a
property or pecuniary right which can
be protected by equitable Injunction IL
utterly without foundation IN prece-
dent or reason The proposition Is
usually linked with one TO make the
secondary boycott lawful Such
Is at variance with the
American Instinct and will find no
support, IN my judgment, when submit
ted 10 the American people, The sec.
ondary boycott Is an instrument Of
tyranny and ought not to be made
legitimate.
The issuing OF Temporary restrain
ing order without notice has In several
instances been abused by its incon.
siderate exercise, and to remedy this
the platform upon which | was elect
ed recommends the formulation In n
statute Of the conditions under which
such temporary restraining order
ought 10 issue, A statute can and
ought to be framed 10 embody the best
modern practice and can bring the sub
iect SO closely 10 the attention OF the
rourt as TO make abuses Of the process
unlikely in the future. American peo-
pie, II understand them, insist that
he authority OF the courts shall be
aud are opposed to any
.hange In the procedure by which the
aowers OF court may be weakened
md the fearless aud effective admin
Of justice be iuterfered with.
Having thus reviewed the questions
likely TO recur during my adninistra-
ION and having expressed In sum
nary way the position which expect
o take I'm recommendations TO con-
.rcss and In my conduct as an execu-
I've. invoke the considerate sym
latby and support Of my fellow clti-
ems aud the aid Of Almighty God In
he discharge Of my responsible duties.
