Mr. Baronian was in conference with his staff in his office on a side street where everyone,’ including the passing .cop, sticks his head in a window a gets in on the convefsa A e staff consisted of the) office boy, “Porkchop,” a veteran bum about five feet tall with a black beard and a black overcoat which reached to the floor. In Hard Way “The Bowery is in a hard way,” said Mr. Baronian. “Know what?” said Porkchop. “Rooms have gone up from 40 to 75 cents on Bleecker St. and a room on Sevent’ Ave. costs a buck. Costs t'rty-five cents to sleep in a dormitory wit’ 200 ot’er bums just because they paints the joint, but it don't smell no different.”
