The usual evils of the employment service would be eliminated. The publicity con ducted agencies would then have no opposition in the travelling labor agent and so would be able to curtail expenses. The object of the public agen cy would not only make the ser vice more convenient for the man without the job, it would also deprive the contractor, fore man, or boss, of an illegitimate source of revenue. The evidence points to a well-planned agree ment between the employment bureau and foreman whereby the fee is split and the laborer loses hiB job as soon as his fee and transportation is earned. Another man is sent on then to take his place and so the ‘‘mill” grinds the life out of its patrons. The discharged laborer must “beat it” back to Seattle, Port land or Frisco, again to be vic timized by legalized robbery. HE jitney business is not trottiner an lindividpri A getting undivided boost. Some of the people who have been looking the matter over, disapprove of the jitney for several reasons. First the in discriminate cramming of strangers, young and old, men and women, into such a small space is extremely discomforting and demoralizing. The automobile is recognized to be the most distinctive agen cy on our public roads and streets. It contributes very little toward the public expense. Personal taxes are not to be con sidered. To be entirely fair the jitney should pay a license. The attitude of the jitnev to existing public service institu- tions is bad.
