Retail Merchants
Desert 9TH Avenue.

OeSe@t 0sA AA'Sn"S' ers and mer-
chants are now exercised because Of the
rapid growth of this congestion from
18th to 31st street. on both broadway
and 9TH avenue.
This loft community is inhabited in
the daytime by nearly half million
people, At night it is absolutely de-
serted. except for the watchmen. The
buildings themselves, designed for their
especial purpose, are a great improve
ment over the factories and sweatshops
formerly existing on the lower East
Side The average loft building has a
frontage of from 40 to 50 feet. and a
depth Of about 125 feet The average
manufacturer occupies one floor OF such
a building, although the larger ones have
two, three and even four floors. or lofts.
Access to the loft is gained by the ele-
vator. At the front of the building on
the north side wherever possible. are the
showrooms, the sample rooms, the office
and the stockrooms. Back of the thin
partitions dividing these rooms, is the
factory, usually occupying a space 80
feet wide and 100 feet long. Here is the
designers throneroom, here are the cut
ters' tables, and here the whirrfng cleo
tric-driven machines that are turning
nat fabric into finished garments.
By far the greater part of the work is
done by the factory method-that is.
suits are cut out in great numbers,
electrically driven knives cutting
through the cloth with a precision i'm
possible to scissors. The cut-out gar
ments are then sent through a series of
machines and are handled by successive
operators, each operator doing but one
little part of the work.
In the better gown and costume fac
tories this method is not followed. For
gowns and costumes that retail at say
$50 and more the fabric is cut, the trim
mings and findings laid out and the
whole pile. of raw material Is turned
over to one operator, who makes and
finishes the garment. This is necessarily
a much more expensive method. and can
be employed only On garments where
there is comparatively large margin of
profit.

Sweatshop Reigned
in the Early Days.

in the Early Days. industry, SO far
as New. York is. concerned, had its birth
on the lower East Side
1t may be remarked, parenthetically,
that New York was not the pioneer. Bal
timore was tine birthplace of the factory
made mems clothing, and Cleveland Of
the factory-made womens clothing. Both
these cities retain prominent position
in the industries which they originated,
but. of course. today New York ranks
first.
A decade ago the transition from the
'sweatShop to the loft factory in New
York had become well marked. The
movement gained momentum. The in
6ustry grew with amazing rapidity. Loft
buildings on lower Broadway began to
be turned into factories. Far-seeing land
lords began to erect buildings especially
designed for manufacturing women 8
wear. Such buildings multiplied at "a
magical rate The territory adjacent to
Union Square first succumbed, then Mad
ison Square, and now the lofts are APP
pearing even north of Herald Square.
The retail district was driven inexorably
to the northward, and, while the manu-
facturers were building up to the west
ward of Broadway and 9th avenue, the
fabric trade and piece goods houses
pushed northward along 4th avenue,
transforming an old street of three-story
houses into a canyon of skyscrapers.
tremendous area is now given over
almost entirely to loft buildings. 1t ex-

change, but properly to appreciate it one
must attempt TO walk along 9TH avenue
from 10Th street to Madison Square at
the lunch hour. The words attempt to
walk are used advisedly, for passage
along the crowded sidewalks at this time
is almost impossible. Thousands and
thousands of garment workers are taking
their noon airing; the sidewalks are a
solid mass of humanity that overfiows
the curb and sometimes blocks the street
traffic itself.
This street congestion has become a
very serious problem The Fifth Avenue
Property Owners Association has taken
up with the police department and the
mayors Office the question of how to al
