PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.


PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.
The annual report of the Municipal
Employment Bureau has been submit
ted to the city council. 1t was pub
lished in this paper recently. Accord
ing to the report the free bureau has
surpassed the hopes of it's most en-
thusiastic supporters. 1t was thought
at first that the bureau would not re-
ceive encouragement or support from
large employers of labor The oppo-
site is true. Secretary Marcus claims
that the greatest patronage has come
from the larger employers of labor.
They have time and again informed
Mr.. Marcus that they were more than
satisfied with the public bureau, and
expressed the hope that the time
would soon come when the city would
forbid the operation of private agen-
cies.
Recently clerk in a licensed pri-
vate agency was arrested for defraud-
/ ing some poor workingmen out of their
hard-earned money, by fraudulently
employing them. The clerk plead
guilty and paid a fine. Hundreds Of
other convictions could be secured if
there was a means to keep witnesses in
the city until the trial.
private employment business, but
these men must suffer for what their
dishonest competitors do. Unless the
honest men in the business unite with
the authorities to see that the business
is carried on in a legitimate man.
ner, the whole private business will
soon come under the ban of the city.
What are some of the abuses? Last
week a private agency engaged some
men to work near Grand Rapids at
$45 per month. It was represented,
that they had but five miles to walk
from the railroad. When they arrived
they found that they had twenty-five
miles to walk, and the wages were but
$50 per month. What could these men
do? There they were far from the
man who had defrauded them, with
no money to take them home. The
only thing that they could do was to.
accept Il job at less wages than they
hired out for.
Another employment agent has
steady string of men going to a GER
tain camp north of Duluth The
camp is over crowded, and many of
them are obliged to sleep on the floor
over night. The next day they are in
formed that they are not needed, and
that the employment agent was told
to stop sending men long ago.
We could fill this paper with char
ges of abusive practices by certain
private employment agents, and if we
had money to hold witnesses, we
could secure several convictions in but
short time.
The free bureau has been in opera
ton for fifteen months, and in all
that time not one charge has been
fled against it
If this is true, and We know that it
is. is it not time for the city council
the members of which are under many
obligations to labor-to take steps to-
wards the abolition of the private
agency system?
So long as there are private agen-
cies there will be more or less trouble
with them. 1t is indeed hard to prove
everything that is said against certain
employment agents, but there is moth
ing more indictable against them, than
the every day accusations made by one
man in the business against the other.

fects upon himself which have followed
his recent experiment with the X-ray.
These may affect his health seriously.

true. | have suffered from II much
more in other ways. The violet light

a bad way Jumps have formed all

none OF the many specialists / have
consulted can do anything TO relieve
IT, They say II is a new condition OF
affairs to them. know II is the result
OF the X-ray, because held the tube
close to my stomach when worked. Z"
Daily, Edsons assistant, lost his
arms through working with the X-ray.
Edison, speaking OF his own case and
Dally's, said The strange part OF 1t
all is that all this is the result OF work.
Ing with the X-ray FIVE or six years
ago, We were all deeply interested In
certain experiments was making, and
were shut up with the X-rays several
hours each day. Finally 1t began to
take hold OF MS and we had to stop,
and we gave our attention to other
things. Years went by, and now comes
this result"

CHAPTER V.

! The following Saturday Alan went to
barley, as he frequently did. to spend
Sunday. On such visits he usually
stayed at the Johnston House. q great

survived the civil war and remained
untouched by the shot and shell that
hurtled over II during that dismal pc.
Rod when most OF the population had
"refugeed farther south. II had iour
stories and was too big for the town,
which could boast of only 1000 inhab-
itants, one-third OF whom were black.
However the smallness of the town
was In the hotels favor, for in a place
where no one would have patronized a
second class hotel opposition would
have died natural death. The genial
proprietor and his family were OF the
best blood, and the Johnston House
was a sort OF social clubhouse where
the church people held their affairs
and the less serious element gave
canoes. To be admitted TO the hotel
without having TO pay for ones dinner
was the hallmark OF social approval.
II was near the ancient looking brick
car shed, under which the trains of
two main lines ran, and a long freight
warehouse of the same date and archi.

tered the chief financial enterprises of
the town-its stores, postofiice, banks
and hall for theatrical purposes. Oar.
ley was the seat of its county and an.
other relic OF the days before the war
vas its courthouse. The principal side.
walks were paved with brick, which in
places were damp and green and some
times raised above their common level
by the undergrowlng roots OF the syca.
more trees that edged the streets.
In the office of the hotel, Just after
registering his name, Alan met his
friend Rayburn Miller, for whose bust.

Abner Daniel had such high regard. He
