The Seal moguls figure that Reidy

- STATE CAPITOL, Salem, Or, Feb. 20.
(Special.) The Senate Industries com
mittee tonight decided to report ad
versely with a full' report-on the House
bill which would provide for a free
employment bureau and make it a mis
demeanor for any person, nrrn or cor
poration to receive a fee for employ
ment purposes.
The bill was actively opposed on the
grounds that in event of a strike,
should the free employment bureau be
under the domination of labor inter
ests, that it would prove a heavy club
for the labor interests to wield and
practically to make them Invulnerable
in case such a situation developed.
The committee also decided to report
adversely on a bill which would pre
vent the throwing of refuse into rivers
flowing into the Pacific Ocean, assum
ing the attitude that similar legislation
is on the statute books.
