DISTINGUISHED TREOLOGIANS OF THE SEVANTERNTH CENTURY. 1, Francis Gomar, ARMINIUS’ GrgaT ANTAGONIST.—It can principic and praciice. Nor is this its worst feature. It migieads persers in want of occapation, induces them to depend upon the omployment ageucy for situations, in- Biead of selling Out themselves and using vigorous and determined exertions to find a suitable employer. Day after day do euch peopie repair to the employment offices in the bope that they wii! hear of something to their ad vantage, but as oflen ag they call just as often are they doomed to be disappointed, chagrined and vexed. Any one taking up tome of ou: dsi!y cotemporaries, and caziing bis eyes along the columpe of “ wats” would be Jed to imagine thai these was not the least difllcalty in o- taining work of all kinds, and witb that, remuneration upon the most liberal scaie. From a boot boy in a lager beer saloon to the Ligh: st poritica ia & banking or mer- cantile concern, according to the daily announcements of the Broadway employment ageats, hundreds of every clase and degree are immediately required, Hundreds of anxious and beating hearts, wo have not any actual menus of existing, read theae catca advertisements, acd prayerfully hop? that their hour ot deliverance from idle- hees and poverty has arrived. Littie, indeel, do they cream that ail ¢uca announcements ace but mere baits to cntrep the simple end unsuepectire, end to extort from them ao ‘almighty collar’? as a registration fee. It 1s, however, #0, and every hour adds to the number victimized by employment agente, who evidentiy have not the power, and, we might add, tbe inclination, to procure any one a But le} us examine a little more clossly tae operations of theee employment offices, #9 that all may be put on their guard against the flimsy, tue fai- jacious and ihe frivolous pretexts of their ‘“euperintend- is,’ “maragers,” “proprietors,”’ &s. An applicant—thet 1, a person ou! of employment, or one der irous of obtaining a situa\ion, reads io some of our morning cotemporaries that a ‘bookkeeper, an “astis:- ant bookkeeper,” a “corresponding clerk,” a “dry-goods salesman,” a “drng clerk,” &c., &o , is wanted Ho 1s directed to call at the office of the adverteor. He gocs there, and states that he has called reapecting the sivua. tion adverticed. The manager, or person in charge, re caivee bim {n an agreeable aad affaole manner, and thereby wins the favorabie opinion of the upfortanate candidate. He is asked, in the biandest tone imaginabie, if bis name 's ou the register? Of course the question is ut, not for the pnrpore of eliciting iuformatioa, but to yaifle the unfortunate individual woo bas been so udlucky to get into his clutches, aud extract from him the first pesuaiary drain which ho purposes to make upon bis “client,” On being answered in the ne- gative, no time is lost io demandig the prymeat of a dollar, £0 that hia name may be entered upon the register. It is paid. Then the party is told to look in during the courte of the d: He departs under the impression that, from the testimonials he possesses, aud the excellent “city references” he can give as to ‘character and abili- ty,’ he is sure of the berin. According to arrangement, he pays visit the second to the employment office, but he cannot jut then bear of anything interesting or to hia ed- vantage. Repeated calls are made, but nothing save bit- ter eS acta meets him every time. The imagiva tion of the “agent” is taxed to ita utmost limits to con- coct excuses which nay posgoes the nearest semblance of reality. After wasting weeks of valuable time in the fruitiese effort of getting occupation through this paid charnel, he je forced to give up the attemptj and blame bimeelt for being duped so glaringly. This, as we have said, isa matter of hourly occurrence in New York. It kppears too, from the statement of one of the leading per- sonages engaged in this very questionable calling, that the business is carried on under tue sauction of the civic au. thorities; for he pompouely parades the announcement— liceneed by the Mayor.’’ We wonder !f his Honor is at all conversant with the principles and practices of the bogus employ ment offices? Society is protected by wise and salutary cnactments ‘Against the dishonest practices of the thief, thie pickpocket, and thotwipdler. Yea, even the mock auctioneer is liable to pains and penalties should he impose upon the commu- nity by vending spurious for genuine commodities. Surely, then, the same law should be put fn force agaist all bogus agents who obtain son iemeart Persons out of employ- ment for the purpose of finding them situations, but who, in almost every instance, never make the effort, beyond prrading their flash advertisements, to which is appended their name and authority, in the [med of the day. The evil is a growing one, and should ut down. We must root out this system of plunderin; unemployed, who, in many instances, are strangers, poor and friondiess, And for this purpose all employmont offices should be under police surveillance, and an easy and summary mode of obtaining redress provided.
