MENTO, March 1.-THE fight in the As.
sembly this afternoon was on the rights
of the man who works against the
usurped privileges and perquisites of that
class of grafters engaged in running So
called employment offices.
The question was on Senator Ashes
Senate bill 4S7, which provides as fol-
lows:
Any employment agent or other person who
shall receive, collect or demand from, or charge
any laborer- emplGye or other person any fee,
commission. reward or compensation for OBJ

or other person, and any employer who shall

or other person any money or thing to reim-
burse said employer for any payment made or
10 be made any employment agent other
person for having obtained the services Of or
employment for such laborer, employe or other
person, shall be guilty of misdemeanor.
Mr.. Ashes bill explains itself. 1t says
simply that the practice of San Fran
ciscO's employment agencies in passing
out to needy laborerS jobs that do not ex-
1st solely for the purpose of gathering in
the fee which the IaborerS must pay must
be stopped. The bill passed. the Senate.
To-day it passed the Assembly, and in
neither house did it meet with overstrong
opposition.
AssembIyman Lawrence Hoey of San

when il came up in the Assembly this
afternoon. He said that If the bill passed,
as it should, there would come an end TO

strongly seconded Mr.. Hoey, and in the
course of his speech he threw zTrslsg down ba a
the agencies in milking their victims.
Time and again, he said his friends 6dad ana id

of their business, but his amendments

THE COURTS AND THE GAMBLERS

In the report of the Superior Court
grand jury which was submitted to the
court on Monday, and in the talk which
the judge gave 10 the grand jurors, the
people got a pretty fair idea of the atti-
tude of the authorities relative to the
gambling evil. The grand jury thought that
the judges ought to sentence the gam
blers, convicted of violating the law
against gambling, to jail instead of filming
them, and suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of a
law requiring the judges to punish con-
victed gamblers in that way, and the
judge, after saying that such a law would
have his approval gave his reasons for
depending upon fines rather than the jail
for checking the gambling evil. The judge
also gave it as his opinion that the city
with it's 100 policemen could easily shut
up the gambling places and keep them shut
up. What the Mayor may have 10 say
in response to this view expressed from
the bench we are not informed. Ii may
be that he agrees with the grand jury
that the infliction of a sentence severer
than a fine would have a very whole
some effect
The grand jury began the agitation
against the gambling evil early last sum
mer, and the ministers took it up and fin
ally succeeded in getting the Mayor to use
the police in closing the gambling places
and the policy shops. 1t is the under
standing that 1t is the Mayors purpose
to keep gambling places of all kinds clos
ed. There is no doubt he can do it. 1t
seems to us that it is in the power OF
either the courts or the police to put Il
stop to gambling in the city. Either jail
sentences or vigilance on the part of the
police would accomplish that object.
