Incorporation a. at least one feature Of the

vas also an obvious purpose on the part Of
Democratic leaders of the House to divert
attention from the trust question for po-
ltical reasons ana to put the tariff forward
again as the important issue before Con-

regard the suggestion OF the President for
federal Incorporation is strong. Repre-
