UGGESTIVE is the report of the Assistant District-Attorney S that manicipal employees make up the largest class of workers who borrow from the money lenders. “Not loss than twenty | thousand city employees are turning over a portion of their wages et salary loan companies every pay day.” Tt is reasonable to assume that illness and emergenoy demands | among those who work for the city are no heavier than in any other | wolass of salaried workers. Several questions arise: Do city employees | live beyond their incomes because they are underpaid? Are they tempted by the example of those with whom they daily gssociate, and | goaded by a sense of unfairness? Would {t not be better to pay) gall munielpa! employees by the week rather than by the month? Tur-| <Worere who get their money by the day are among the thriftiest sworkers.

Several groups of over-‘ressed and over-fed men stood around talking loudly on theatrical topics, mostly about matrimonial and theatrical failures, when a man in correct even- ing attire-at least Mr. Jarr thought it was correct for it differed in every essential from his own—came heavily through the various groups loitering in the lobby and sald in @ threatening ton = benches and prepared for a long wait. Travelling men are natural gossips, Instead of talking maliciously about each other as amateur gossips do, they love to talk about themselves.
