THE EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES BILL.

Speaker Nixon and his associates OF the Com
rnittee on Rules deserve credit for bringing for
ward in spite OF the crowded condition OF the
calendar. the Employment Agency bill and max
ing possible its passage 10y the Assembly Ow-
Ing 10 delay before the Committee on Rules
took charge there was reason 10 fear that bill
could not get through for il is not the sort OF
measure that is likely TO attract the attention
Of busy legislators striving to dispose Of neces-
sary business and insistent claims at the end
Of 4 session. The Committee on Rules how
ever. saw its wisdom; it is through one house,
and now goes 10 the Senate.
That body should likewise be prompt 10 press
the bill to a vote, and the friends Of the reform
should be encouraged ny their partial success
10 impress upon the Senators the great need OF
regulating employment agencies. Investigation
extending through several years has proved
that under cover Of intelligence offices. an I'm
moral traffic OF large extent is conducted. There
is good reason TO believe that ten thousand girls
are annually led astray by this means. and
positive evidence has been secured that thirty
agencies in this city are systematically engaged
as procurers. Under the preseEt law there is
no efficient means 10 protect immigrants and
green country girls from being victmized, and
no regulation TO secure fair dealing and pre-
vent the robbery Of both workers and employ
ers. The reputable employment agencies and
The public alike suffer for the crimes of the
rascals who are in the agency business simply
10 misuse the opportunities offered by the pres
ent lax inspection laws. The reputable agen-
cies themselves are for this bill and ready to
submit to the regulations which Il involves.
The Protective Association OF Employment
Agencies and the East Side Employment Agen-
cies Association have officially declared for It.
and have worked in harmony with the philan-
thropic organizations behind the measure.
Two hearings were given before the Assem-
bly, committee and opposition was developed.
Mr.. McMackin. the State Labor Commissioner
testifies 10 the need Of regulation, and even
thinks that the refor1ners do not go quite far
enough in imposing restrictions. They do go
far enough, however, 10 secure adequate super
vision Of agencies and break up the infamous
traffic carried on under their cover. II would
be extremely unfortunate 70 have the bill fail
at this stage, and the Senators from New-York
City should take pains to see that 50 excellent
n measure against which nobody has a word 10
say, is not neglected IN the closing rush OF the
session.

gTREETCAR DETECTIVES.

A good deal is said from time 10 time about
the employment by the street railroad COM
panies Of detectives, who, carefully avoiding
recognition, ride about town on the cars and
ascertain for the benefit Of their employers
whether or not conductors collect all the fares
that are due and account for all that are col
Jected. Just now II is said there is considera-
bic resentment in Brooklyn among the men,
who understand that they are being watched
more closely than usual, and are particularly
annoyed by the suspicion that women spoilers"
are taking notes of their doings. But they
really have no cause 10 complain. The force
is constantly changing, and the managers, who
cannot possibly know them all like brothers, are
justified in taking the necessary steps to deter
mine their trustwOrthness. Moreover, an hon
est conductor, II ne takes a reasonable view
OF the matter, must derive a quiet satisfaction
from the knowledge that so far as he is con-
cerDed the company is losing money by keep
ing him under surveillance. As for the spies
themselves. there are pleasanter occupations in
the world than theirs, but they supply legitl-
mate demand both in peace and war
We sometimes wonder II the street railroad
companies ever employ detectives to observe
ether details Of their business besides the col
lection Of fares. The managers say that they
are always ready 20 investigate the complaints
OF passengers. but II they are in the habit OF
causing complaints to be brought directly 10
them by persons hired by them for the purpose,
they have not chosen 10 Gcquaint the public
with that fact Indeed, they commonly express
so much surprise and are so incredulous when
some occurrence Of a sort painfully familiar TO
all their patrons is called TO their attention that
II seems safe to assume they have not adopted
n system for obtaining official information as
TO the conduct Of their employees And yet It
might be thought that they would want to know
/ from their own witnesses not only whether
! their employees are honest. but how careful they
are TO obey the rules and protect the rights of
the public.
The managers frequently hear II said that
the conductors and motormen are extremely re-
luctant 20 bring their cars 70 full stop in or
der that passengers may get on and off safely;
that the conductors are often insolent that they
make no pretenee Of checking profanity and oh
scenity, seldom eject drunkards and rufians,

4 Waste OF TINE.

Tho Bridge Commissioners communication 70
the Board OF Estimate and Appointment reia-
five 10 bridge terminals and connections con-
tajns some suggestions which are worth consul
cring. A loop subway, for example, by when
,ossenrers could be collected and distributed
might perhaps be so laid out as to afford mucn
relief from the congestion which is already op-
nressive and which is necessarily growing worse
from day TO day There are some arguments also
in favor Of permitting additional elevated ran
road facilities TO be supplied on the Eas Side
as n convenient means Of connecting the BROOK
lrn and Williamsburg bridges, and we think
that the structures essential 10 that purpose
might be mt I'D In such streets and in such a
yvRv as not seriously TO obstTuct or mar the
aunearance OF part OF the city which is never
likely TO be anything but ugly. At all events
that is n proposition which excites no indigna-
ton and which is at least lit 10 be deliberately
discussed.
But Mr.. Best IS not we'll advised II he sup
poses that the public is ready TO welcome lhe
scheme Of elevated railroad extension when ne
recommends with apparent conviction OF us eA-

speaks Of these thingsf positively as things
which ought 10 be done hut shall be much

construction OF an elevated railway through

impediments to such an undertaking. there is

devotes TO the development and advocacy OF
that feature OF the scheme which he laid before

permit the rule against smoking to be FloiaIeu
with impunity and never enforce the RUE
against standing on the platforms when the
car is full inside. If this Indictment or many
counts which is found by the public every day
in the year, is just, the companies shouid NOT
he Indifferent to It. If it is unjust, we should
srpnose they would like to be able to prove its
Injustice by competent testimony or at least
to possess evidence satisfactory to themselves
that it is false. Possibly their objection TO the
employment of detectives for the purpose OF
learning about such matters is that their re-
ports would make the management uncom1ort-
able by proving that it was TO blame for many
abuses, because Of !ts putting an excessive
strain on its employees. The conductor OF
crowded car which is required to make IRE
ouent stops has more to do than he can do
thoroughly well. and IL occasionally he loses
his head and his temper, he is not without
excuse.

THAT "RETURY TO SANITY"

can question the sincerity OF these suggestions.
