" at ions." Washington, Dec. 0. — Both Houses of Congress assembled promptly at noon to hear the President’s message, which'was handed in by the private Secre tary to the President shortly after. The follow.ng are the most striking recommendations in the message; The use of federal t roups in suppre-sing troubleortbe resist ence of Federal law, should the state’s authorities csll for help. The organization of labor to secure wage workers rights, with due regard to others. The passage of an employees liability law in the District of Columtia, and the appointment by Congrese of a Commission to study employers liabilities in general. • The (awarding of medals for conspicous bravery in life saving in private employments und- United States jurisdiction. Thq passage of a law requir mg the institution of the block system on all railroads, and it law limiting employees hours. More government oinployes lo watch the safety appliances on railroads and steamboats. The letter carriers cease their efforts as a union to procuie higher salaries. Child labor investigation and legislation. The creation of a forestry ser vice in the Department of Agri culture. The substitution of salaries for fees iu the consular system. The enactment of an inters national quarantine law, A reform In the currency and the making of every silver dol lar “redeemable in gold, at the opinion of the holder.” A revision of the naturalizas tion laws. The enactment of a law against bribery and corruption in federal elec'ions. Tho federal regulation corpor ations is advocated as follows: * “When we come to deal with great corporations, the need,for the government lo act directly is fir greater than in the case of la bor, because great corporations can become rich only by engag ing tnturslatecommerce, and in terstate commerce i* peculiarly the field of general governments. It is an absurdity to expect lo eliminate the abuses of gr. at corporations by state action. Ii is djfficult to he patient with an argument that such matters should be left to the states, be cause mote than one state pur sues a policy creating on easy terms, corporations -which are never operated within that state at si 1 , but in other states whose laws they ignore. The uationni government aloue eau deal ade- fre adorn. He also advocates the exteu sion of arbitration treaties. He wants the oavy built up un til it is large enough to gusrans tee safety. He says delay in criminal cases should be avoided. A Waycross Negro io Pennsylvania. The Herald reproduces the following trom the Forest-Blade, published at Swamsboro, Ga We cannot remember a negro brick layer named Allen, in Waycross, perhaps some of our readers can: A private letter from a suburb of Philadelphia reads as follows: “Ten years ago a negro was rarely seen in this community. Now they are the only domestic isrvants that can be bad, There is quite a colony of them here, now. I learn this morning that a negro dance within a mile of us broke Up in a row last night, two were shot dead and the murderer escaped. Negro men are able to Hnd little besides menial employ ment here, because the labor unions refuse to admit them. It will interest you to know that a negro, named Alien, was glad to get the joh of cleaning my apart ments recently. He said that Waycross was his home,and that he was a bricklayer by trade, hut that (he unions prevented him from getting such work here. He said he was a fool to Come here where he ’got to scrub up lio’s for a living after making good wages at nis trade in Geor gia. I asked him why he did not go back and be said he expected to as soon as he could save the necessary money'.’' We do not print this iu order to preveut negroes from emigrat iug to Penhsylrauia.
