...brown horse and a red-haired woman caused commotion in the streets of Philadelphia last week. Beauteous, impulsive Mrs. Gifford Pinchot, wife of Pennsylvania's Governor, gayly trotted through City Hall Plaza traffic in a jingling silvery sleigh on rollers. Mounted on the shafts were signs urging PINCHOT FOR SENATOR. Overhead fluttered a banner with this strange device: VOTERS-DON'T LET REED TAKE YOU FOR ANOTHER SLEIGH RIDE-VOTE FOR PINCHOT.

...Apparently Mrs. Pinchot does not know that these are not in the jurisdiction or control of NRA at all. These are the province of the National Labor Board, which is wholly independent of NRA. When she held us responsible for Pennsylvania towns where labor meetings could not be held, I should have liked to ask her who was Governor of that State...
