s While three times the number OF

than half the number of vacancies to

Of Des Moines, an inspector for the
bureau of labor statistics, who Is In
the city today making an investiga-

corning local employment agencies. It
lis expected the statistics being col

| in the framing of new state laws COW
ering labor employment bureaus
which now are operating under prac-
tically no restrictions and which are
causing officials vast amount OF
trouble.
(! According to Mr. Seaman many
cities in Iowa are considering the es-
adjustment of free municipal employ
ment agencies. An agency of this
sort is now being established at Bur
| lington. while at Des Moines there
has been one in successful operation
for some tina. The municipal agen-
cies are not designed to take the
place Of those conducted by Y. M. G.
AS, Y. w. c. AS and charitable or
CARNATIONS, but to cover the Held
these organizations do not reach.
Under the existing statutes about
the only restriction PLACED upon en-
ployment agencies is that they shall
keep their books open for inspection
by the officers Of the bureau of labor
statistics. The law does not say,
however, what shall be contained In
these books. Many complaints are
now being received at the state
I bureau from men who have been swim

the agencies is difficult. Mr.. Seaman
