Another labor question has arisen
which has awakened the most excited
discussion That Is In respect to the
power Of the federal courts 10 issue
iniunctions In Industrial disputes. As
20 that. my convictions are fixed. Take
away from courts, II it could b. aiken

The proposition that business is not a
property or pccuniary right which can

The issuing Of a temporary restrain
Ing order without notice has I'm several
instances been abused by its neon
slderate exercise and to remedy this
the platform upon which | was elect

statute of the conditions under which
such temporary restraining order
ought TO issue. A statute can and
ought TO be framed TO embody the best
modern practice and can bring the sub

court as 10 make abuses Of the process
unlikely In the future. American peo-
pie, it I understand them. insist that
the authority Of the courts shall be

change I'm the procedure by which the
powers Of a court may be weakened
and the fearless and effective admin.
istrati0n Of justice be interfered with.
Having thus reviewed the questions
likely to rccur during my administra-
ton and having expressed in a sum
mary way the position which I expect
10 take I'm recommendations TO CON
gress and I'm my conduct as an eXecu-
tive, I invoke the couslderate sym
pathy and support Of my fellow citl-
zens and the aid Of Almighty God IN
the discharge Of my responsible duties.
