The suceeaa attained at Seattle la cited aa an in-' , stance of what auch an office can ac complish. It la recalled that thara waa a movement hero last year for auch an office, which found general support for ' a period, but did not fake tangible form. ' Organised labor Indorsed thla aolutlon and frequently has urged establishment of auch an office, which would have tha effect of doing away with ail tha pri vate employment ageribtes. . . ' - ;: . At present there la no mean by which ''an employment agency may ba punished Jar defrauding worklngmen, cava that provided in the general fraud law. ' City agencies are required oy city ordinance ' , to refund the . fee charged-and trans portation expenaes If they aend men 01 women for work which does not exist - or where' there waa no probability of - the applicant receiving It. . '... .,'- Seeenrse XJmrted. '-.';'--'.f , In 'addition, the license committee has ' viewer to revoke the license of aa agency where It has been found guilty of auch ' abuses. But there" la no other remedial '. measure, aave recourse to the freed pen- - nltlee.

Each new applicant la rompelled to pay the employment fee and perhapa a sum for clothing or pre- . limlnary equipment. Shortly after this mount has been earned, he la die charged and opportunity la created for repeating the-profit of hiring another loan. No doubt exists that thla profit : Is divided between the contractor and the employment agent , Sow the System Works, It.

For a period, they were wont to fake out a licence for only a short part of the semiannual pe:;od, thus gaining the .oppirtc.Mty to rerpetrate their frauds f?r a small -figure.
