The act TO amend Chapter A. o,
the Revised Statutes as amended b.
| Chapter l32 of the Public Laws OF
1917. relating to Intelligence or en-
| ployment agencies. was advocated
by several the proponents case be

very pernicious.
the State lator commissioner. said
that he had had experience with en-
ployment agencies and he was not
wholly in favor of the bill. He be-
lieved that legislation should be en-
acted which would do away with the
fee employment agencies.
The present system Of employ
ment agencies is not a success" said
Commissioner Eddy. The system
creates suffering. The tendency is to
send men to jobs for which they are
not qualified to fill. ! have known of
cases where cooks have been sent TO
jobs where musicians were wanted
and vice versa.
Harry 3. Drawn of Augusta. re-
cording secretary of the Maine Fed
Grafton of Labor. said he believed
that there should be some provision
to supervise and control employment
agencies through the state labor de-
partment. There would be better
agencies than under the present ar
rangements.
John r. Nelson. an Augusta attor-
ney. was the first speaker in opposi
ton to the bill He said that perhaps
there may be evils in the employment
agency system. He represented the
Hollingsworth & Whitney Co, who
carry on large woods operations. 1t
is impossible for that company to Sc
cure men in the state SO it is neces-
sary TO so out Of the State to get
them to work in the woods. He felt
that the measure was unjust in that
the employers should be held liable
for the expenses of the employees
Hon. Harry K. Virgin of Portland.
representing the national railroad ad-
ministration. said that the railroads
were not interested in labor agen-
cies, but that there was a continual

Under this proposed bill q railroad

commissioner when it wishes to en-
ploy men. from out Of the state, and
then it must make deposit with the
state treasurer to cover the expenses

IN The SENATE

At the request of Senator Butler "
Franklin county. Senator Peacock OF
Washington county. chairman of the
committee on ways and bridges, had
recalled from the governor the act
passed last Thursday providing for
appropriating each year one-sixth CT
a mill for the construction of third
class highways. Senator Peacock
after explaining the law, yielded the
floor to the senator from Franklin.
who spoke at some length in opposi-
ton to the measure. stating that he
opposed it on the ground that it
would take from the trunk lines and
devote the money SO taken 20 outly-
ing roads. He stated that when the
bill was passed he supposed that it
provided for appropriations for two
years. but that he had discovered that
the law would remain in force until a
succeeding Legislature repealed IT.
Senator Butler stated that the pres
cnt law deals very leniently with the
small towns, and added that it was
only a few years ago that all towns
built their roads on the European
plan. paying for what they got. He
declared that when the Legislature Of
1917 passed the law aiding the small
towns that the State made its will.
willing money to the small towns.
Senator Butler spoke of the jmpo--
lance Of the trunk lines. and said he
believed that the legislation under
consideration provided for beginning
at the wrong end Of the line. that the
construction should be from the trunk
lines out. and he felt that if the OPP
posite was done it would take more
than 100 years to build outside roads.
Senator Peacock explained in con-
siderable detail relative to the legis-
lation under consideration and the
amount available for good roads. He
stated that $4,000 was available for
trunk line construction work from
the Federal government if the State
is able to match il. and that sl.124, coo
would be available for this class OF
work 10 which might be added the
automobile license fund of &S25. 90.

gard to highways. Several senators
spoke for the bill and on motion of
Sen. Peacock Of Washington was f.
na]ly tabled until next Tuesday.
The Judiciary committee was as
usual the lone committee to hold a
hearing on Friday afternoon. The
hearings before this committee al.
ways have a good attendance and al
ways furnish much Of interest. This
one was no exception.
Senator Quincy OF Cumberland on
Friday introduced in the Senate an &C,
for the development Of water s,ora,
on tho Saco river and for other publ
purposes. This measure is considered
one OF the most important which has
thus far appeared a, this session of the
Legislature and because il seems to
present a constructive plan for dealing
with the States water powers, il :;
likely to attract great deal Of atten-
ton.

ment Bureau OF Auburn. opposed the
bill. He said that the Auburn bu-
reau was conducted to accommodate
; the shoe workers and this bureau
should not be put in the same class
as the average employment agency.
He also thought that the section OF
the bill which allows no appeal from
the decision of the labor commission
was unfair.
Hiram Kicker OF Poland opposed
the bill stating that il would affect
the summer interests employing help.
There are 100000 employed in this
, way during the summer, the help be-
ing provided with room and board.
and Is per cent. are secured from
outside the State. He could not re-
member one case where an employee
had become a public charge.
Blaine s Viles of Augusta was in
vited to speak and stated that there
was serious trouble with the present
system. but he did not think that the
employer should have to assume the
care Of the employees becoming de-
pendent.
Mr.. Hichborn. summing up in re-
buttal. referred TO the evils which
should be corrected. and he favored
putting on the employer the care OF
men becoming charges. as provided
for in the bill. Senator Deering asked
him where the bin originated. and
he replied that half dozen men saw
the iniquities of the present system.
senator Deering asked il it did not
originate in the L. :, Employment
Service. and Mr.. Hichborn replied
that some. who had had experience in
this service were interested in the
bill.
