FEE:SF(|R
JOBS
Outrageous. Say Municipal
Court Judges, Urging Law
to Protect Workers

The large fees charged by vari-
GUS employment agencies in the
District of Columbia for obtaining
positions for unemployed we're Sc
verely criticized and condemned
by two Judges Of the Municipal
Court today.
Judgments in four cases, rang
ing from $40 to $50, were OBJ
tanned today by an employment
agency against persons for whom
they had obtained positions.
Outrageous" Says Judge.
According to the contract signed
by the applicants. which were at
tached to the bills Of complaint, .
So registration Zee is charged, and
in addition % per cent Of the first
months salary is demanded. In
cases Of temporary positions. 10
per cent OF the first ten weeks
salary is the fee charged BY the
agency.
Such charges are absolutely out
rageous," one of the Judges de-
clared. Some law should be pass
ed that would protect thess poor
people from such hoidups. OF
course, we judges have no al.crna-
tive but to award judgments on the
contracts signed by the applicants
when they fail to appear in court
and fight the suits. However. it
is an out and out holdup and some
thing ought to be done to cut down
the amount Of the fee charged"
Charge Employers Fees.
The four judgments obtained to-
day were against H. NJ. Fleming a
druggist, 921 Fifteenth street. $50;
r. o. Robey, grocery clerk, 1923
Robinson street, $3.50; j. III. Breen.
945 Pennsylvania, avenue north
west, typist, $40: and s. M. MUIR
ray, sol Claiming street northeast,
$50.
Many Of the employment agencies,
it was stated, make the employers
pay a fee, in addition to charging
the applicants.

A physician will be on hand to

Belmont, in case Raffles cannot

opened thousands of safes in 1prac.
tically every city of importance in
the country. In each case, he says,
his subject" has been delivered
within three minutes after he sand
papers his fingers.
At any rate the demonstrat ton
will be real thriller-somethin
one rarely witnesses outsids of the

There will undoubtedly be big

opening. So it is advisable to
come as early as possible in order

You forget to frOWn or sigh;

But you'll find he always hurries

And to free them Of distress:
