Washington, Dec. 5. President Wll

h,th bouses of congress in joint ses

upon me by the Constitution of com

information of the state of the Union
and recommending to your considera

be judged necessary and expedient I
shall continue the practice, which I
hope has been acceptable to you, of
leaving to the reports of the several
heads of the executive departments the
elaboration of the detailed needs of
the public service and confine myself
to those matters of more general pub
lic policy with which it seems neces
sary and feasible to deal at the pres
ent session of the congress.
I realize the limitations of time un
der which you will necessarily act at
this session and shall make my sug
gestions as few as possible; but there I statement of it. With regard to one

may presently be found advisable to
add to its duties still others equally
heavy and exacting. It must first be

The country cannot and should not
consent to remain any longer exposed
to profound industrial disturbances for
lack of additional means of arbitra
tion and conciliation which the con
gress can easily and promptly supply.
And all will agree that there must be
no doubt as to the power of the execu
tive to make immediate and uninter
rupted use of the railroads for the con
centration of the military forces of the
nation wherever they are needed and
whenever they are needed.

were some things left undone at the
last session which there will now be
time to complete and which it seems
necessary in the interest of the public
to do at once.
In the first place, it seems to me Im

possible consideration and action
should be accorded the remaining
of its items, the increase in the effi

its present constitution and means of

Fifth, an amendment of the existing

Renews His Recommendations.
The second and third of these rec

mission to observe and report upon the
practical results, deeming these the
measures most immediately needed;:
but it postponed action upon the other j
suggestions until an opportunity should
be offered for a more deliberate con

terstate commerce commission to grant
an increase of rates on the ground re
