CONDEMN BAD AGENCIES.
Manu- Ne1U-Yorkers FAVOR Finch
Bill at Hearing.

Albany, March 2-Employment agencies con-
Quoted for fraudulent and immoral purposes were
exposed and denounced in no uncertain terms to-
day A number Of persons Of New-York City inter
ested in civic affairs and philanthropic work were
present before the Assembly Cities Committee to
urge favorable report OF the Finch BILL regulating
in detail the business Of employment agencies. The
bill applies cities OF the first and second classes
No opposition the bill appeared. Melvin q. Win
stock. represen ing two hundred employment agen-
Giles on the East Side of NewYOrk. said that mas
much as the bill had not been amended so as to be
objectionable TO his clients he would not oppose It.
Among those who favored the bill were Canon
William Shafs Chase DIT. Thomas Darlington. OF
the New-York City Board Of Health and ex-Assem-
blyman John s. Maher. who aided in the recent IN
vestgation. Mrs. Chandler. president of the
Womans Municipal League Of New-York, said that
a girl was likely than not TO find herself in a
disorderly house If she sought employment recon-
mended by agency. State Labor Commissioner
McMackin thought the bill not drastic enough
especially in the matter Of fines but said It was
step. at least, in the right direction.
Thomas W Hotchkiss. representing an associa-
ton Of employment agencies, urged tho BILL say
ing that 1t would raise the standard of all thu
agencies and eliminate the disreputabIe which
disgTaced the whole business The better ones
were heartily IN favor OF the measure. Miss Mar
garet Drier, the main speaker for the bill after
giving long list Of the associations against the
bill. said:
The attention Of the woman's Municipal Iseague

Plicauons for renewal Of licenses came to his no.

Of Cornell University and Law school and a post
graduate Of the University OF Chicago. The work
covered a period or two years. and a result OF
these investigations four hundred afHdaEfts are IN
the hands Of Mayor Mcclellan, at his request.
It is very important to emphasize the distinction
between the good and the unreliable employment
agencies, and IL is necessary TO understand that
many OF these abuses the direct result of the
ease with which licenses can be secured under our
present law.
