"There should be no trouble about

needs is bond equal to one years

we can adjust the matter to finish.

to put up. Men live and learn in this
part Of the world and when they go
up against the employment Office they
get lesson that may be costly, but
which will be remembered for some
time.
The following letter gives an insight
into the operations of these agencies:

Hundreds Of men in this city would

had without contributing to the cof-
fers and greed of these so-called EN-
ployment Offices. There are many firms
in the city who will not hire man
unless he secures a position through
these robbery agencies, and if man,
for want of $l.00 or $500, or $500, as
the case may be. is forced to beg, he

The police authorities and the news
paper offices are continually receiving
complaints about the outrages and
abuses perpetrated by the employment
Offices in this city. To the laboring
man in general, and especially the man
out of employment, the employment
Office is nothing more than a "delusion
and snare" The police seem to be
powerless so far as furnishing rem
edy for the evils are concerned. The
newspapers can do nothing more than
call the attention of the laboring man
to the snares set to entrap and rob
him of his money.
The employment Office abounds in
Spokane to a greater extent, perhaps,
than in other cities approximating it in
size. Some of these institutions are
not so bad as others, and there are
few that conduct business on legitimate
principles, but the employment Office,
as rule, is the place where the labor
ing man in search of job drops his
few dollars and is finally dropped him
self because he has no more money
