Pending the organization of the new department,
the employment agencies have been allowed to <'.v
business without any supervision, but, according to
Commissioner Keating, they are to be closely
watched In the future, and violations of the law
will receive th« severest form of penalty. Bach
inspector will bo held accountable Tor the conduct
of every agency In his territory. The mum object
of the new department is to prevent sending girls
to rosortM of ill repute. Commissioner Keating will
also seek to prohibit owners of employment agen
cies from levying extortionate fees on applicants
for places.
Many mfeßuards am provided for l>y the new
law. Two peta of registers must be ({■>;>'. and en
tries must bo made of all fees collected. The in-
Fpeetors have the right at .ill times to examine
these registers, and a false entry will furnish th*
Commissioner ample cause to revoke the license
of the agency.
The fees which employment agencies may charge
are specifically designated in the new law. For
agricultural hands, servants and unskilled work
ers, an employment agency most not charge a fe.9
larger than 10 per cent of the first month's wages,
ami this only after a place has been obtained by
the applicant. In the event of the failure of the
agency to obtain a place for an applicant, the fee,
with the exception of T>o cents, must be returned.
The law confers lar^- powers upon the Commis
sioner, who has th<> right to revoke a license for
any cause that s«"ins to him to i«» sufficient, He
will try all complaints In bis office, and decide
whether they are well founded. For this reason
Mayor McClellan has deckle,) to intrust the office
to a lawyer. Mr. Keating'* salary was fixed nt
