.indus­
trial accidents to supplant our present
thoroughly, ^unsatisfactory, system of
employers' liability (a subject the im
portance of which congress, has al
ready recognized by the appointment
of a commission), I recommend that
the international congress on indus
trial insurance'be invited to hold its
meeting in 1913 in Washington and
that an appropriation of $10,000
be
expenses
of organizing and carrying on the
meeting.
The protection of railroad employes
from personal injury is a subject of
the highest importance and demands
continuing attention.
I also renew my recommendation
that steps be taken looking to the
holding of a negro exposition in cele
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the issuing by Mr. Lincoln of the
emancipation proclamation.
