Public Employment Agencies
The question of public employment
agencies was taken up today at the
conferences public hearings.
Russell +. Phelps. director of labor
statistics of the Massachusetts Labor
department, describing the workings Of
his states employment system. said
the cost Of placing a worker through
the state agency was 81 80 Us against
an average charge of S14 for worker
to obtain position through private
agency.
He said it was desirable at this time
that employment service should be fur
nIshed without charge and suggested
the best system would be for local au-
thoritics to handle the direct contact
with the workers supervised by the
State. which would CO. ordinate employ
ment information. and again under the
supervision and with the -opcrnti
of the Federal employment authorities.
John Ihldpr. of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States. declared
that the majority Of the chamber s
members. in recent referendum vote.
went on record in favor of a Federal
employment system to work in co Op-
Grafton with State and local agencies.
