JOB SEEKERS
Gouged By New York En-
pIoyment Agents

New York.-The evils of state-li-
censed employment bureaus were re-
vealed by witnesses before the State
Industrial Commission.
Stories of misrepresentation through
false advertising, refusal to return
fees when no work was obtained, the
sending of young girls to immoral re
sorts, assaults on kitchen workers in
summer hotels when they demanded
pay and the generally unwholesome
atmosphere of private fee-charglng
employment agencies" were laid be-
fore the commission.
The witnesses included John NJ.
O'Hanlon, secretary New York State
Federation of Labor.
The labor turnover in many indus
tries and callings is enormous, it
was stated, because of collusion be-
tween employment agents and bosses
or superintendent Employment ag-
cnts charging 10 per cent of the first
months wage for obtaining job for
an applicant are frequently in league
with unscrupulous hotel, department
store and railroad employees who dis
charge workers regularly every week
or two in order to increase the income
of agents who divide their profits with
them.
Henry d. Sayer, secretary of the
commission, stated that anybody who
paid $25 for license and posted a
bond of $1,000 can open an employ
ment agency in this state.

Concerning "TightsUads"

You are a tightwad, says govern
ment budget expert, If your living ex-
penses are 81 per cent of your in
come, your savings 60 per cent and
the remaining per cent scattered
among recreation, education and phi
lanthropy. You are spendthrift II
your living expenses are SO per cent,
your savings zero, your recreation 40
per cent. You are thrifty If your liv-
ing expenses are 30 per cent, your
savings 20 per cent, education, giving
and recretion 10 per cent
It's a pleasure TO meet budget max
er who emphasizes some necessities
of human living besides savings only,
and who will not give the palm to the
fellow who saves the most.--Kansas

RADIO TRUST
LOSES IN TWO
u. S. DECISIONS

Seattle.-Miles C. Poindexter, for
mer United States senator and am
bassador to Peru, was defeated by
Kenneth Macintosh, former state
supreme court justice, for the nomi-
nation for senator on the republican
ticket.
Poindexter faced the united oppo-
sition of organized labor in this state
because of his advocacy of federal
anti-strike law following the armis-
tice. He, together with Governor
Allen, of Nebraska, and Senator My
ers, of Montana, joined the public
clamor for anti-strike legislation that
had been created by anti-union forces.
