NEW LAW WILL HAND
MONEY SHARKS JOLT
VIII Break Up Practice of Assigning
Unearncd Wages. Which Has
Become an Evil.

Money sharks were handed stiff
jolt yesterday afternoon, when the
Senate Committee ON General Laws
took up the bill of which Senator
Allen is patron. dealing with the mat
ter of assignment of wages, earned
and unearned.
1t came out in the hearing that
there is in Virginia a company of
men travelling with construction COM
panies. These men are engaged in
supplying groceries and provisions to
men engaged in railroad work. Fhey
will take. a blanket" assignment of
wages for goods purchased from them,
and this they will continue to hold so
long as the men are at work for the
company. Senator Allen said that
often the assignments were for an un-
limited time, often for year, and
the amount was often left blank.
A Fayorite Dodge.
This scheme Is a favorite dodge OF
the money sharks. They are infest-
ing every city in the state. and they
for years They are right here La
Richmond in large numbers. They
will loan money and take assign
ments' of wages for their pay Once
in their hands, the sharks hold on
so long as drop Of blood remains.
They are Unsuitable.
Senator Allen explained that the
assignment of earned wages was a
thing which the law could not reach.
but that the assignment of wages
which were not earned was a thing
w hich was on its face wrong. The
reliable merchants were entitled 10
protection from that class which en-
gagged in the blanket" mortgage bust
ness The victim of the holders of
the notes needed protection, and the
practice of having the system Of beat
ing broken up would be to prevent
the assignment of wages that had
not been earned.
The committee ordered q favorable
report on the bill. and It will be re-
ported this morning, and will go to
the calendar on Wednesday morning.
The bill requiring applicants for
matriculation In pharmacy to hold
college certificates before entering
college, the same to be effective on
and after December 81. 1919, was re-
ported. with the recommendation that
the bill Re rejected.
