Storm Seen In Bill to License Work Agencies Stricter regulation ot employ ment agencies, with a practical elimination of the fly-by-night con corns which cause constant trou ble for those seeking employment and for the officers of the law, is the purported purpose of a bill in troduced in the house today by Representative Walter G. Lynn of Multnomah county. Hhere are those, however, who predict the bill will cause a storm of protest from persons engaged in the em ployment agency business, because of the stiff license fee proposed and that there will be an influx of .protestants to the state house when the contents of the bill are made known. The present law provides for a fifty dollar state license fee and the posting of a bond for one thou sand dollars for each agency or individual licensed. The Lynn bill provides for a license fee of five hundred dollars and also the post ing of the bond. During the last year, says Lynn, thirty one employment agency li censes were issued, bringing the tats tl4B0. Two of these went out of existence, leaving twenty nine in operation, and Lynn says the reports on their business show that during the first eight months of the year their license was more than one hundred and sixty thou sand dollars.
