 How long peace shall reign as a re- suit of the bill apparently is depend- ent upon development in the proposed move to test the constitutional1ty of the act Should the railroads take no action, but await the beginning of an investigation of the workings of the eight hour day by the special committee for which the measure provides, the brotherhoods will re- main inactive.

for stable conditions for commercial
and industrial progress.
II we are to meet effectively the
conditions which will arise after the
war is over, We must put our house
in order. Let it be understood that
the public right is TO be maintained
without fear or favor. But let US show
that we can do this without impairing
the essential agencies OF progress.
Must Aid Honest Enterprise
There IS no forward movement, no
enaeavor to promote social justice
which in the first analysis does not rest
upon the condition that there shall be
stable basis for honest enterprise
This subject has several important
phases 10 which at this time can al
lude only briefly. We should place our
transportation system on a sure foot
ing. We should be able wisely to ad-
Just our regulative powers so that the
fundamental object OF protecting the
public interest can be fully secured
without uncertainties or conflicts and
without hampering the development
and expansion of transportation facili-
ties. The national end may be accom-
plished without the sacrifice OF any in
terest that is essentially local. or with
out weakening public control.
Our present system is crude and in
adequate. Moreover. in the severe eco
nomic struggle that is before US, and in
seeking as we should to promote our
productive Industries ana to expand our
commerce-notably our foreign COM
merce-we shall require the most eff
cient organization, quite as efficient as
that found in any nation abroad There
must be no unnecessary wastes and no
arbitrary distractions
We have determined to cut out, root
and branch, monopolistic practices. but
we can do this without hobbling en-
terprise or narrowing the scope of legi-
innate achievement. Again. we must
build UP our merchant marine It will
not aid to put the government into
competition with private owners. That,
it seems to me, is a counsel of folly.
a surer way OF destroying the prom
Use Of our foreign trade could hardly
be devised. 1t has well been asked
Does the government intend to operate
Al a profit or at a loss? We need the
encouragement and protection of gov
ernment for our shipping industry, but
it cannot afford to have the government
as a competitor.
Urges Protection of Labor Interests
We stand for the conservation of the
just interests OF labor. We do not de-
sire production, or trade, or efficiency in
either. for its own sake, but for the bet
terment OF the lives of human be-
ings. We shall not have any last
ing industrial property. unless we
buttress our industrial endeavors by
adequate means for the protection of
health; for the elimination of unneces-
