In bringing up the charge that there are towns in Pennsylvania in which she was not permitted to speak in favor of the recovery program, and in giving the names of steel employees who were discharged because of their part in her labour meetings, Mrs. Pinchot has given a real and unmistakable challenge to the present administration.
