N Y EAST SIDERS
HALT WILD SPENDING
Illusions That Came With
War Die Out and Folk
Settle Down
(By Lorry A. Jacobs)
New York, July 19. Slowly, Sadly
but surely, New York'a Kast Hide is
beginning to awaken to the fact that
no rial prosperity has come as the re
sult of high wages.
'I he high cost of living, the mail tei-
il. in of oen ih thrifty EasT'Siders
lo spend easily earned money for ej
Iravigant elotlies and pleasures, and
1he nlready felt pinch of" the slowing
down m domestic trade orders have all
combined to bring to a halt the short
lived belief of these sweat shop work
ers that this was their "day," and
that the wiorbl was about to day its
wealth at their feet.
' Wages are high,'' they have argued
with themselves. "'They can't go down.
We will have our flyer and then settle
down."
Tliev have had their flyer. They
have worn f ilk shirts, fur coats, and
much finery. But now the silk shirts
and fur coats are nearly worn out,
wages are no higher than they were a
vear ago ami the cost of living, If any
thing, has gone up.
The Knst Hide of today la not appre
ciably any different than H wns five
years ago. Much costly fond is dis
played, but malnutrition eases are just
as iiiuiiv at the clinics. High rents are.
belli-' paid by housing conditions, if
anything, are worse.
Factory girls are dressed In silks and
stevedores in tailormade garments but
there ii just as much filth as ever in the
streets. ,.
"No," said a Cjna'1 street shopkeep
er to me. "They do ript buy so well
now. They shake their heads when I
show them" the silk dress marked down,
to $21 its that last summer they did nor
think good enough. - -.
"Yes, I am getting high prices."
said a Tenth avenue curb fruit deab r.
"But 1 sell so little I do not mnko
enough to live on."
And so it appears that New Torh's
Fast Side is about to settle down U
some real saving, and forget the t'tu'.
ions that camo with the' flood of mor'-. ,
and high waees during the war
after the armistice. .
