co poration before the National Associa-
ton OF Manufacturers last night n, the

marks met with "A hearty response from

And then Mr.. Nagel indicated. as one
proof OF the feasibility OF Federal in
corporation. the fact that practically all
OF the means by which Lfacturing
nrns doing an Interstate business ac-
complish their business are federally
regulated and incorporated 10 all intents
and purposes.
In this way. he explained. IL will be
found that the telegraph companies are
under Federal control. that the railroads
are practically under Federal conJpl.
that the post Office Is the business of Che
Federal Government-in short, that all
the lines OF ommunication by which big
firms carry on their business are under
Federal Jurisdiction except the firms
themselves.
Mr.. Nagel touched in some detail on
the question of an adequate merchant
