THE FREE EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY
Reader Thinks 1t Must Help Those
Otherwise Lacking Aid.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: | read in your issue Of the 9th inst a
letter under the caption Paying for Jobs
The writer suggests that the employment
agency fee be reduced 20 per cent. Assum-
ing the domestic receives $25 monthly with
board and lodging, the agent receives $3.50.
Add to tho wages the keep, and the position
is worth about $50 monthly The class OF
agencies designated by your correspondent
those near Fifth Avenue do not cater TO ap-
plicants who are compelled to pawn their
wearing apparel Sixty per cent of the pres
cnt unemployment and desttution is the re-
suit Of alcoholism and lack Of frugality. Do
rnestic servants can well afford to pay the
legal fee demanded. They are not looking for
charity.
In many instances they are more indepen-
dent than their employers. They would not
patronzc a municipal, state or federal agency
any more than a wealthy clubman would
patronize a bcancry. A lawyer recently de-
scrbed in a court trial the domestlcs that
frequent high class agency as "bedraggled
servants" There was no justification for
his slurring remark
think that your statement that the free
employment agencies Till supplant the pri-
yate agencies is questionable. Free employ
mcnt agencies have their functions, and one
4, to provide employment for those whom the
private agencies cannot place and would not
il they could. Employers for personal and
human reasons prefer to patronize private
agencies
After all. what is the purpose of the "free
employment bureau? Is it to compete with
private agencies, or to help those whom the
nrivate agencies cannot accommodate? The
taxpayer is obliged to pay the fees Of those
who patronze the free employment agency

The Camp Fire Girls, Revolt.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The "revolt" of Camp Fire Girls,
guardians and local bodies against the poll
cies of the resent administration in their
organization is not without just cause and
intelligent leading.
The revolt" proves that too much ruling
from headquarters" without representation
and counsel with the guardians, will not sue
ceed IN an organization that is supposed to
exist for the welfare Of all.
Most Of the valuable and responsible work
of the organization depends on the original
ity, inspiration and efficiency of the volun-
teer leaders, or, as they are known, guar
dians. They take up these responsibilities
without compensation and carry out the
ideals of the institution with little or no as
sistaHce from Headquarters
II salaries are drawn by officers and office
assistants, why are not the petitions of these
guardians recognized and considered and
their work commended?
With due credit to DR.. Gulick for launch
ing Girls Scout" movement, it is yet most
unfair to enlist the free, altruistic and splen-
did services of women to develop this WORK
and give them no voice in the matter Of cor
recton of administration.
