BARKER AGENCY
TEST CASE
NEARS
Job Bureau Court Action Is
Delayed Awaiting Rule
on "House Offices"

Whether or not the District
law prohibits the maintenance
of an employment agency in a
room of a dwelling house is to
be decided shortly by Police Court
Judge Ralph Given, as a result
of the recent drive to rid the
District of illegal agencies.
The point was raised in the
case of Charles M. Barker, 9O3
Ninth st. N. E., who is charged
under section Of the code
which prohibits the keeping of
an agency in rooms used for liv-
ing purposes.
Case is Dismissed
The evidence tends to show
that the agency in question is
conducted in an office located
in a dwelling house.
The case against Emma Mar
tina Williams, 2724 Georgia Ave.
N. w., was dismissed today when
it was brought out that she was
not the owner of the employment
agency at the time that the
charge was brought.
She was charged with failure to
keep the license for the agency
posted in conspicuous place on
the premises.
Three Cases Continued
Three other cases were con-
tinued for one week, pending
Judge Given'S ruling on the
Barker case.
Defendants in these cases are
