...Gifford Pinchot. Elated, Candidate Moore and friends talked about another assault on the Vare machine at the November election, with an independent ticket. Philadelphians could thus look forward to two months more of Vare-style campaigning, which consists in spending dollars by the hundreds of thousands.

Representatives of the musicians' union point out that "saxophone strugglers, trombone contortionists, bass drummers and French horn oompahs" have been admitted into the U. S. as "artists," thereby flooding the market for musicians and reducing the wage minimum, much as was the case when steel laborers were imported from Europe in former years...
