Tucson. Ariz., Sept 17.--lf Colonel
Roosevelt is elected president, he said'
in speech here today, he will call a
snecial session of congress immediate
ly after his inauguration to put INTO
effect SO far as can be done by con-
gress, the progressive party's program
for social and industrial legislation.
The program includes minimum
wage scale for women, living wage"
prohibition of child labor, regulation
of hours of labor and other measures.
while there are many important
planks in the form of the progressive
party" he said, Il am most interested
in the plank dealing with human well
fare. l believe that the issues there
raised, are the great issues of the
campaign which neither of the old par
ties is facing squarely. The progress
sive party, if it is put into power, Will
carry out every promise which it has
made in it's platform. We regard the
platform as a contract with the people
"a contract to be kept to the letter
'If | am elected president, ! shall
call a special session of congress i'm
mediately to take up those matters. 1t
is. of course true that the reforms for
which we call, are largely subjects
which must be dealt with by the legis-
latures of the various states, but there
are certain matters which we can and
will take up in congress, If the oppor-
tunity is given us.
81 would have congress take up three
things:
First, the application of our program
to employees of the government. Next,
its application to the District of Co.
lumbia, and Alaska In the third place,
we would apply it to interstate COM
merce as far as would be possible"
Colonel Roosevelt said it was diff
cult to define the lengths to which
congress could go in dealing with con-
Germs engaged in interstate commerce
through congressional action. He
would attempt to put on the statute
books, he said, as much legislation
along these lines as could be applied to
the railroads and the usual concerns
doing an interstate business"
