Washington, Jan. 13.-The president
today told the cabinet his idea of the
governments relation 70 big business
and the field antitrust legislation
should cover in the present session Of
congress The sriTit in which the task
should be approached is that OF a
feeling OF friendly concilia ton, not
hostile antagonism, but a constructive
program that will eliminate the un-
certainty about the law and stimulate
legitimate business.
These are the fundane entails OF the
presidents plan OF action TO be EN-.
bodied in the message he reads at the
joint congress session next week
The cabinet called the message pro-
gressive in declaration and that it
would reassure the business world the
administration sincerely intends to
deal fairly. The president is proceed
Ing on the theory that the legislation is
necessary now and hopes his MESSAGE
will block radical. bills that might be
fnisinterpreted.
Here are the. cardinal features OF the
plan SO far as known: Suppienaenting

It was thought Monday that Fire

Of the men in each department and
cause the others to work twelve hours

been devised whereby this can be
avoided. Only five patrolmen Will be
discharged each beat will be made g

salary Of every emrloye in each de-

the fremen will be given one day off

The commissioners have ordered
Marshal Sanders to see to Il that the
lew men who are laid off are unmar-
ried, young men who are able to Sc
cure employment elsewhere. Commis-
Sioner POu sincerely regrets that any
steps along this line should be taken
but he says economy must be effected
in some manner. The city must re-
