He mockingly urged Statesman Stimson to "hurry...

The Board, however, did nothing; Secretary of the Treasury Mellon being quoted as saying that neither the rediscount rate nor the Mitchell resignation were even discussed. Merger Mitchell. ''Very interesting," was all that Banker Mitchell said when told of the Glass attack. Mr. Mitchell's mind was occupied with an important matter - the merger of National City with Farmers' Loan and Trust. Announced early this week, the amalgamation created a banking institution with total resources of $2,100,000,000. Inasmuch as the Guaranty Trust-Bank of Commerce merger (TIME...
