1Iub Women of State Urge
Cul-b on Employment Fee

In the opinion OF the executive
hoard of the California Federation
'uf Women 5 Clubs. il is high time
that something be done to regulate
the fees charged by private employ
ment agencies, and bills have been
endorsed by the board, which If
passed, will take care of the stu
alton il is hoped
During the past two years, nearly
500 claims for refunds have been
resented to the labor commissioner.
OF these S6 out of every 100, after
investigation have proved TO be
valid. W. ID. Crocker of the indus
trial relations commission saws that
it IS generally conceded that a vast
amount of fraud, misrepresentation,
extortion and other evils have grown
out Of private employment agencies.
During the past year it is csti
mated that these agencies IN the
state collected S1,5oo,oo0 in fees.
This. from q group of its citizens
cut of work and wishing only the
opportunity of self support.
Ii has been brought to light
through the investigation that some
of the larger agencies make as high
as $4,000 per month as fees. All
the way from 80 to 81, per cent of
the first month s salary is charged
the applicant, and statistics show
that the average fee paid by women
seeking employment in this way is
nearly three times that paid by
men. The fee is collected in advance
if possible and in many instances
the applicant is required 10 sign an
agreement to allow the agency to
collect the fee from the employer.
AT the last two sessions of the
state legislature bills to correct
these evils have been introduced
but failed to pass. The women 5
clubs have made a study of the sit
uation and with their backing and
the backing of an enlightened public
opinion, it is expected the legislation
NAV pass at this session.
