TO say nothing about the proceedings

Antitrust and Interstate Commerce
Laws.
The Jurisdiction Of the general gov

led to the passage of the so called
sherman antitrust law and the lin
terstate commerce law" and its
amendments. The developments in the
operation of those laws, as shown by
indictments, trials, judicial decisions
and other sources of information, call
for a discussion and some suggestions
as to amendments. These prefer to
embody in a special message instead
of including them in the present com
munication. and I shall avail myself
of the first convenient opportunity TO
bring these subjects to the attention Of
congress.
Jail of the District of CoIumbia.
My predecessor transmitted to the
congress a special message on Jan. IL,
1909, accompanying the report of com
missioners heretofore appointed to in
vestigate the Jail. workhouse, etc, In
the District of Columbia, in which he
directed attention to the report as set
ting forth wildly "the really out
rageous conditions in the workhouse
and jail"
The congress has taken action in pur-
suance of the RECOMMENDATIONS of that
report and of the president to the ex-
tent of appropriating funds and enact
ing the necessary legislation for the
establishment of a workhouse and re-
formatory. No action, however, has
been taken by the congress with re-
spect to the jail, the conditions Of
which are still antiquated and insani-
tary. l earnestly recommend the pas
sage Of a sufficient appropriation to en-
able a thorough remodeling of that in
stitution to be made without delay. 1t
is a reproach TO the national govern
ment that almost under the shadow OF
the capitol dome prisoners should be
confined in a building destitute OF the
ordinarily decent appliances requisite
to cleanliness and sanitary conditions.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1909-12-07
REFORMS FOR THE COURTS.
Legislation Urged Against Injunc-
tons Without Previous Notice.


The platform of the successful party
In the last election contained the fol-
lowing:
1.-THE Republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and integrity
of the courts, state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to
enforce their process and to protect
life, liberty and property shall be pre-
served inviolate. We believe. however,
that the rules of procedure in the
federal courts with respect to the is
suance of the writ of injunction should
be more accurately defined by statute
and that no injunction or temporary
restraining order should be issued
without notice, except where irrepara-
bic injury would result from delay. in
which case a speedy hearing there
after should be granted"
/ recommend that in compliance with
the promise thus made appropriate leg
islation be adopted. The ends of JUS
tice will best be met and the chief
cause of complaint against i'll consid-
cred lnjunctions without notice will be
removed by the enactment of statute
forbidding hereafter the issuing of any
injunction or restraining order, wheth-
er temporary or permanent, by any
federal court without previous notice
and a reasonable opportunity to be
heard on behalf of the parties TO be
enjoined unless it shall appear TO the
satisfaction of the court that the delay
necessary to give such notice and hear
ing would result in irreparable injury
to the complainant and unless also the
court shall from the evidence make
written finding. which shall be spread
upon the court minutes, that imme-
date and irreparable injury is likely
to ensue to the complainant and shall
define the injury, state why it is ir-
reparable and shall also indorse on the
order issued the date and the hour
of the issuance of the order. More
over, every such injunction or re-
straining order issued without prevl-
Gus notice and opportunity by the de-
fenSant to be heard should by force
)Df the statute expire and be OF no eff
feet after seven days from the issu-
ance thereof or within any time less
than that period which the court may
tx unless within such seven days or
such less period the injunction or
order is extended or renewed after
previous notice and opportunity to be
heard.
My judgment is that the passage of
such an act. which really embodies
the best practice in equity and is very
like the rule now in force in some
cou-tq VIII Prevent the issuing OF iII
advised orders Of injunction without
notice and will render such orders
