WOULD GOVERN
EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
District Commissioners Will Ask Con-
gress to Give Them Power to
Make Regulations.

Basing their action on the opinion of
the late Andrew 3. Duvall. former cor
Doration counsel. the District Commits
sioners will ask Congress to give them
power To make and enforce regulations
respecting all employment agencies in
the District.
The action of the Commissioners Is
the result Of recommendation made by
Major Richard Sylvester about year
ago. In which he suggested that law
was needed in the District. as a safe
guard for persons applying to agents
for positions. providing that an agent
who advertised 10 supply positions for
a stated fee and who failed 10 provide
the positions then refusing TO return
the fee upon demand. would be guilty
or a misdemeanor and fined not more
than S5e for each offense. with an alter
native sentence Of not more than ninety
days N jail.
The late Corporation Counsel held that
such law would constitute an inva-
sion OF the contract rights Of citizens
and would be unconstitutional He sug-
gested that the Commissioners. could
best secure supervision of employment,

gress. The Commissioners will there
