Charles Nagel, secretary OF COM
merce and labor, would sharply de-
fine and restrict the powers and
discretion of the proposed federal
commission TO regulate industrial
corporations. In his annual report
submitted TO President Taft, the
secretary opposes the endowment OF
such commission, II finally created
by Congress, with far-reaching pow
ers equal TO those exercised by tNe

over railroads. lie disapproyes the
suggestion that the commission have

Instead OF pressing federal reg

fort should be TO lay down princi-
pies Of conduct sufficiently specific
to impose desired restraints. at the
same time leaving a wide field for in

troubles which should not be neglected.
