WHY EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES
NEED BETTER REGULATION

i
Vichenete Boran, who runs an en-
ployment agency at 2195 Clybourn
avenue, is the latest gent to show the
excessive need of better regulation of
Chicago employment agencies.
March % last, Tanos Georgvich,
Lbabisav Gorich and twenty-five
other men who lived in rooming
house at 1852 West Adams street,
paid Boran 81 each for job on the
Great Northern railroad in Mon
tana.
According to Boran, the railroad
would send the men out to Montana
on passes.
After they had been separated from
their dollars, the men confidently
blew around to the Great Northern
railroad and asked for their jobs.
: And the Great Northern railroad
told them they hadn't any jobs and
that they had been stung by .Boran.
The matter reached the ears of in
spector R. Aylmer, and Aylmer had
Boran arrested March 20. Boran was
taken to the East Chicago avenue
station, where he later was released
on $40O bonds, which were signed by
a saloonkeeper.
Boran's case was set for March 80.
On that day his case was called.
Boran did not show up. His $500
bond was forfeited.
Later in the day Attorney Plotke
showed up at the East Chicago ave
nue. court, said he represented Boran
and that he did not know where
Boran then was. ~
A capias was issued for the imme-
date arrest of Boran. Detectives
Gentle and Bositano found him and
brought him in. The case was once
more set-this time for April 1.
On April Boran again failed to
show I'D. His bonds were forfeited

gave, and they suffered themselves,
while Rothschild & Co. rolled in a
little more glory-at the expense of
their underpaid employees.
We have no exact knowledge as
to whom was responsible for this
meanest of mean tricks.
But we can make pretty shrewd
guess.
We know Henry G. Schwab, vice
president and general manager of
Rothschild & Co., of old.
1t was 'Schwab who called girls
from every department in the store
into his office while the O'Hara COM
mission was probing the low wages
paid by our merchant princes, and in
suited every one of them by asking
vile questions.
1t was Schwab who invented the
cute scheme of holding all the Roth
schild employees in the store on such
nights as mass meetings of depart
menta store girls were called.
So we do not think anyone who
lays this last meanness up against
Schwab will go far wrong.
Davis; the president. of the store,
is not of the Schwab brand. He is
millionaire, of course, and the pos
session of millions, seems somehow to
harden the heart and twist the con-
science.
But Davis is human at times, and
we cannot believe he himself would
stand for such a trick as this on his
underpaid employees.
AS to the empioyes-well, they are
just common working girls" but
they would have liked to; have had
the credit for the little they gave and
the suffering they underwent them
selves to give that little.

OXMEN CLARKE AND NlcGINNITY ARE HEROES OF THE FRA
BEAVERS TOSS AWAY
GAME AT THE START

The beavers, hurlers, curvists,
Or what you will, basked in the
calcium glare at the ball farm
yesterday. Jimmy Clarke pitched
stellar ball for the Beavers; Joe
McGinnity pitched a ditto variety
for the Bengals. The Cats made
but two hits off Clarke, while six
were made off McGinnity, but
Jimmy neutraIized this by issuing
four passes.
And the Tigers won by a score
of q to o.
Not a hit figured in the scoring
done by the Cats. Both runs
We're made in the opening stanza.
After McMurdo and Fries had
been morgued, McMulling walked.
CLARKE tried to catch him doing
a Rip Van Wrinkle on the first
pillow and tossed the sphereid out
of the reach of Walsh. Mac went
to second and started for third.
To show there were no hard feel
ings and that Jimmy had nothing
on him, Walsh also cut loose with
one wild hurl, and McMulling re-
posed on third with safety. KEEL
Ter was issued transportation and
burglarized the second angle.
Felts swatted at Scharnweber.
After due reflection Scharney de-
cided to pick 1t up. He did so
and Crawforded it for an altitude
record over Walsh. Two runs
patted across.
The Tigers played errorless
ball behind McGinnity. Grindle
caught, Ruell was back on short
stop and McMurdo cavorted in
right field.
Cy Neighbors Is out of the
game with q broken collarbone,
sustained when he jumped into
: the fence after Jackson's fly Sat-
urday. Cy thought he was all
right and batted the next inning,
but felt sick. Examination at a
local hospital revealed the state of
affairs. He will be out of the
game for three or four weeks.
This will not strengthen the Ben
gals any as he is their leading
outfielder and batter.
The Tigers split even with Seat
tie Saturday, losing the first game
to 2, and winning the next II to
l. Peterson, the st. Martins
pitcher, made his debut in the
last game and was accorded fear
ful support. Walter Johnson
could not have won with that kind
of playing behind him.
We tangle with the Tilfdums
this week on the grounds of the
latter. Doubtless the pill will sail
out OF the bandbox many times
and oft ere the series is over.

WASHINGTON
MAKES GOOD
SHOWING

Rowing on a river and the fact
that they were strangers in a
strange land" may have had some
effect on the University of Wash
ington crew under the leadership
of Capt. Ed Taylor of Tacoma,
which took third place in the big
Intercollegiate regatta at Pough-
keepsie Saturday.
Although the real fight was be-
tween Syracuse, which won the
race, and the favorite, Cornell,
Washington was in the race at all
times and finished strong, making
a squirt that almost beat Cornell
out of second place. The Seattle
lads justified the opinion that
they would place in the race.
In the four-oared race the
Washington lads hit too fast a
pace at the start and went to
pieces in the last few moments of
the race, and finished fifth.

Auto Race.
Gossip

Harry Endicatt, who will drive
one of the Myberg cars in the
Montamara races next week, has
left Indianapolis and will reach
Tacoma Thursday. This will give
him practically no time to prac-
tice on the Tacoma course.
Bob Burnam gave speed exhi-
bition at the auto tournament in
Portland Sunday, and is expected
to reach Tacoma this evening. He
drove his huge 300-horse Bitten
Benz at Portland. In Tacoma he
will be seen cutting capers in a
Keeton car. The machine has
just been overhauled at the fac
tory and is on its way to Tacoma
by express.
1t will be impossible to bank
the grandstand curve of the Mont
amara track, as has been suggest
ed by race drivers already her.
Under the rules, if it were bank ed /,
the course would become a speed
way instead of a road course.
The arc of the curve has been
heightened, however, so that
much greater speed will be pos
sible.
Oiling and rolling of the Mont
amara track is practically CON-
plete. Regular practice will be-
gin Wednesday and continue con-
stantly until the day of the races.
The steam rollers will be kept on
the track to roll it down after
each days practice, so that the
heavy cars will not tear up the
road before the day of the first
Montamarathon.

News and Notes
OF the Amateurs

"Fuzz" Demarais, who catches
for the Drifted Shows, shifted
over to the portside of the pan
early this season and has been
batting lefthanded ever since.
Fuzz says he likes that side be-
cause it's the one Tyrus bats
from.
Murray, the high school pitch
er who works for Roy, has de-
ceptive splitter, but is apt to be
extremely wild. If he could mas
ter control he would be a good
one.
Bismarck picked UP a pitcher
named Reynolds Sunday and tried
him out in the box. He made
good from the jump, and the Bis
marck players are congratulating
themselves.
OF course members of the Jewel
baseball team are glad to see AL
Crane go to Chicago, but they
can't help feeling that they are

Local Commercial
Body in Letter

The Grand junction Chamber of

are lauded in letter rceived a few
days ago from Hon. Edward Heating
ngressman-at-large from Colorado
Mr.. keauns particularly expresses
his appreciation of the stand taken nv
the chamber of commerce in refusing
TO concur in the sugar trust resolu-
items proposed by the Denver cham
Der of commerce. The letter fol-
lows:
Mr.. j. +. Moorhead,
The Daily Sentinel,
Grand Junction, Colo.
My dear Moorhead. | want to
thank you for your klnd letter of
May s. The information that the
chamber Of commerce has not enlist
ed under the sugar trust flag is in
tersting and encouraging. The Sen
tinel, too, is doing splendid work
IL has placed itself in the forefront
of the progressive papers Of Colorado
and | am sure the people of Grand
junction and Mesa county show their
appreciation by giving the PAPER their
ardent support.
The special intsrests feel that they
own every chamber Of commerce in
the country, and that the members
should adopt, without consideration
or discussion, such resolutions as
may be presented to them. Unfortu-
nately, most chambers of commerce
subscribe to this doctrine without
protest, and one result has been the
market lessening of influence of
commercial organizations. We get
resolutions here from chambers of
commerce on every subject under
the sun and they are practically
thrcwn in the waste paper basket.
because we know their origin and feel
that they do not represent the senti-
ments of the organizations
The Grand Junction Chamber has
set new standard. and one that is
calculated to give weight to future
utterances of that organization
Hereafter when / receive resolution
from the Grand Junction chamber of
commerce will feel that it is an, in
telligent expression OF opinion and
will treat 1t with the consideration 1t
merits.
With best wishes, ! remain,
Sincerely yours,
