Prices Too High for Labor in Belgrade War-Torn City
Belgrade March 28 Prices are absurd here. A man and ox team earn 200 to 300 kroner daily. A woodsawyer about 100 kroner per day. A passenger sleigh ride costs 30 kroner. Porters and shoe sellers fetch high sums, but goods like clothes are scarce. Red Cross notes explain workers fled or quit amid war and hunger. Lt. Col. Farnam plans a pepping campaign to lift morale and establish work centers for women while men farm. The effort aims to teach self-help, sanitation, health, and child welfare as aid remains practical.
