KIDNAPPING CHARGED.
One Employment Agency Accuses
Another.

Examples Of the fake" employment agency
continue to accumulate. and James D. Merri-
man, deputy chief of the Bureau of Licenses,
announced yesterday that he intended to make
a thorough investigation of the conditions
the waterfront.
Il am convinced said he. that the present
combination of a saloon. boarding house and
shipping Office is bad one. I inspected the
books in such office, and it looks very
much as If what the proprietors couldn't bleed
from the sailors in one branch they charged in
another. Something surely should be done to
remedy this situation"
An interesting illustration of the employment
agency business as it affected one man, Hun
garian who had lived in this country for some
years and worked for the last three years on
farm in Derby Conn. was furnished in the fol-
lowing affidavit filed with the Bureau Of Lii
censes by John Orszag:
"On April %" reads the statement, 'I came
to New York to take passage to Hungary. and
for that purpose I went TO the office Of Emil
Kiss. at No. 15S Suffolk-st., where arrangements
were made for me to go the next day. l PAID
IS for passage and the next day an agent OF
Kiss took to Hoboken in company with
number of other men. AT the ferry on the other
side Of the river 1 became separated from the
party and was approached by a stranger, VINO
told me that it would cost me SO more to go to
Hamburg I was conducted to another office,
where $40 was demanded for transportation on
that same day. I paid it, and was told to stay
in room, which was partitioned off Here l
was restrained until o'clock, with stranger.
At this hour I got up and declared that Would
remain no longer. When I tried TO leave Ihe
place the man that brought me to the place
tried to prevent my going. I broke away now
ever and left the office without my VaLse, ana
finally reached the office of Emil kiss
Kiss brought a complaint against the pro-
prietor of the second agency Office at the bureau
a4 7 IIcenaas charging that his client had been
kidnapped. After sitting the matter MI MeTri,
man ordered the two agencies to refund the 80
which had been paid them by the Hungarian;
Mr. Msrrman said yesterday that the seconQ
office was maintained by Isidor Herr, and tnat
complaints against his office were 10 oe Te-
