Paris alone (and in spite of her surprisingly chic appearance-see FOREIGN NEWS) needed 3,000 tons of fuel at once, 3,000 tons of food every day.

Sometimes the new jobs offered less pay than Brewster's $1.14 an hour top for unskilled workers; sometimes the new jobs were inconvenient to get to. But mostly, workers hated to lose their seniority; some had worked for Brewster since...
