B0 REASSURED hgislation for Regulation About Completed. WILSON OUTLINES -VIEWS Opp ses Agitation for Larger Army and Navy; Favors Réorganization of Government Departments and Urges Economy in Expenditires. ‘Washington, Dec. 9.—President Wil- son departed from the prepared text of his annual address fo congress, which ‘was devoted . pringipally to an- swering those who congend the Unit- ed States is unprepared for national defense, to give notice to the business world that the legislative program of his ‘administration, as it affects regu- lation of business, is practically com- pleted. He said it has resulted in a clear road for business to travel to “unclouded success.” £ Honest business men, the president declared, need have mnothing to fear in treading the way outlined in the trust and currency bills. While the president dwelt briefly on the subject his words were interpreted as an as- surance that no further important business legislation was contemplated. In brief the president’s message makes the following recommenda- tions: Enactment of law to enable the government to purchase merchant ships and operate them. Necessity for exercise of strictest economy in the administration of gov- ermént. Enactment of measure to provide means for ultimate lndepbndence of Philippines. Favors Seamen’s Bill. Enactment of pending seamen’s bill for greater protection for American seamen and to insure greater safety of vessels at sea. Enactment of a law making provi- sion for thorough survey of the coast of Alaska so as to remove danger to navigation. Hnactment of legislation for the bet- ter conservation of natural resources of country. The president's remarks in full with relation to business legislation were as follows: “Our program of legislation with regard to the regulation of business is now virtually complete. It has been put forth as we intended as a whole and leaves no conjecture as to what is to follow. The road at last lies clear and firm before business. It is a road which it can travel without fear or embarrassment. It is the road to ungrudged, unclouded success. In it every honest man, every man who believes that the public interest is part of his own interest, may walk with perfect confidence.” oo ode e ol e o el ke ok e ok k) ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND -+ PRISONERS TAKEN. + — + London, Dec. 9—A Central < News dispatch from Amster- < dam says that according to a < message [rom Berlin it is re- < ported there that upwards of 100,000 prisoners were taken < by the Germans when they captured Lodz, Russian Poland. + - o oo ol o ofohe ol oo ofe oo obe ke o o WOULD LIFT TAX PENALTY Bill Proposes Clemency for Those nable to Buy Stamps.

RECOGNIZE NO SURRENDER Intend to “Continue Their Humani- tarian Movement in Colorado Coal Fields,” but Believe It Is Good Pol- Icy to Accept Mr. Wilson’s Proposal. Denver, Dec. 9.—A recommenda- tion to terminate the Colorado coal miners’ strike, which had its incep- tion in the Northern Colorado coal fields in April, 1910, and which for more than fourteen months has in- volved practically the entire coal mining industry of Colorado, was con- tained in a communication from the international executive board of the United Mine Workers of America pre- sented by Frank J. Hayes, vice presi- dent, to the union miners of Colorado in convention here. “We recognize no surrender and shall continue to propagate the prin- ciples throughout the coal fields of Colorado,” says the communication in announcing the determination of the executive board to terminate the strike. After reviewing the efforts of the federal government to effect a settle- ment of the controversy, and quoting correspondence which passed between President Wilson and the United Mine Workers of America, the com- munication says that in view of the recent action of the president in ap- pointing a federal mediation commis- sion, “we deem it the part of wisdom to accept his (the president’s) sug- gestion and to terminate the strike.” PUPILS RULE SIX SCHOOLS Commission Plan Working Success- fully in Duluth.

QUESTION HINGES ON METHOD OF INQUIRY Washington, Dec. 9.—President Wil- son told callers he favored the dis- closure of all facts connected with the preparedness of the United States for national defense and believed that while the subject should be discussed as fully as possible the whole ques- tion hinges on the method of inves- tigation. The commission plan pro- posed by Representative Gardner he disapproves. The president said .he had no spe- cial knowledge of the existence of any lobby for stirring up military discus- sion at this time, but he intimated he believed there was such an organized effort.. He declared that his cor- respondence shows widespread oppo- sition to any ‘efforts to involve the United States in a militarist move- ment. The president refused to say wheth- er he believed ~partisanship entered into the efforts to investigate the question, because he:thought partisan- ship should not be raentioned by gov- ernment officials’ in cornnection with a subject concerning foreign relations.
