BROADWAY
The lure of Broadway is interfering with factories at the outskirts of New York City. Workers want jobs near the Gay White Way. Some are reported to have quit the factories because they got bored during lunch hour. A different sort of job near Broadway may pay less, but it's closer to excitement and gayety.
This is human nature, and it is the thing that is preventing a general exodus of factories and mills from large cities to small towns. What percentage of the population--employers as well as employed-- is more intent on a good time than old-fashioned work?
