PETROGRAD. — The difficulties
hedging in existence of those who j
live in Petrograd during these ■
times of disturbed regime and short
age in necessities of life, extend in j
all their details to the ordinary
simple task of buying a shirt. To!
accomplish this takes time, patience ;
and determination.
First, one must find the shirt. One !
may visit forty shops before he finds !
one of the proper size. The ques-1
tion of preference of style is not!
to be considered for one moment. I
Otherwise one will never get the
shirt. Having found something that
resembles a shirt of the proper size,
one deposits a small payment to
hold it.
The next thing is to convince
one’s house committee—there is a
commune in every apartment house
in Petrograd now—that he needs a
shirt. If the house committee passes
favorably on the subject, it so re
ports to the precinct or district
“soviet” or commune. This in turn
reports to the commissary in charge
of the distribution of shirts and kin
dred articles of clothing.
If one is quite lucky, after five
or six days time ,he receives a duly
signed and sealed permit to buy a
shirt- Then he buys it, but ordin
arily pays the Russian equivalent of
$15 or $20. Some of the poorest
. quality, may be found as low as the
Russian equivalent of $5.
This restriction of purchase ex
tends to all major articles of men’s
and women's clothing and shoes, and
recently, because of the linen and
cotton good shortage, was applied
to handkerchiefs. Prices for every
thing are in proportion to the shirts,
an ordinary suit of men’s clothing
costing the equivalent of $100.
E. L. Carpenter, war department
engineer, who has been investigating
the Snake river harbor project at
Nome states that nothing will be
done toward dredging the harbor this
year. Many causes contributed to
the suspension of the work, chiefly
high wages and the scarcity of ma
terial.
