A ROOSEVELT MESSAGE.
CLASS DIFFERENCES
A SHOT AT MULTI-MILLION-AIRES.
Received April 29, 8.13 a.m. NEW YORK, April 28,
President Roosevelt, in a message to Congress, urges in the strongest terms the passing of legislation limiting the use of injunction in the case of labour|disputes; also legislation increasing the power of the National Government to regulate the interState business of great corporations. The President protests against the growth of class consciousness, declaring that the abuse of the process of injunctions by employers must breed class consciousness, and therefore class resentment.
While condemning the demagogue which preaches the envy of wealth, President Roosevelt caustically remarks that his counterpart is the hard, cruel multi-millionaire, who is the least enviable and the least admirable of citizens, whose son is a fool and his daughter a foreign princess.
