 The report, which deals with the reg ulating of various kinds of employ nent agencies up to April 30. says that the problem of the distribution of la- Dor stfll rests principally with the pr1- vate employment agency, because free state employment bureaus, and even private employment bureaus conduct ed on 8 large scale, have not proved successful. The personal element in the management of the employment agency is necessary, Robinson says, the real problem being in getting the tndi- vidual to fit the job in each case, and not the collection of 1000 persons for 1000 jobs, whether the work is tunnel excavation or domestic service.

It is not so much because women who are willing to work as ser- wants are scarce as 1t Is that so many of them are incompetent Every em- ployment agency in New York has more applications for work from would be servants than it can fill, but there is not an agency in the city that would not place 100 per cent. more servants, were the latter competent to fill the places.
