If all the young woman says {s true It is no better than the majority of those in- stitutions, for all of its assumed dignity and reputable position, It ig forbidden by the Jaw that em- ployment agencies shall publish or cause to be publiahed any false or fraudulent notice or advertisement and that “all advertisements of an employment agen- cy by m@ans of cards, olrgulans or signs and in newspapers and other publica- | tions, and all letterheads, recelpta and blanks, shall contain the name and ad- dress of such employment agwey,” | With the allegation that the ee lel y rovielon of the law, Bictnal betun Hee affidayit, and con- Uniy applicants threaten to go, to the Commissioner with thelr complains, Dut fail to do wm because they have not the necessary carfare, Frequently ap- plicans for employment are allowed to git about the agency for weeks at a time, but in every case when they de- mand a refund of thelr fee, although the agency has done nothing for them In the mea: me, Mrs, Healy declines to) tefund mdre than fifty cents, She Biante | wn abusive and |nsolent manner toward | apficants, which in many cases fright. | ns thei away, This she did in the case | of a little colored cirl who sat for two whole weeks in the agency and was only given MMfty centa when ehe demand- ed the return of her one dollar, School for One Day Only, “Last suunmer 1 was sent along the y Jursey coast by ee Healy giving Out cirvulars stating that the guild ha @duntry awalting applicants for employ- absolute falseiood, The day that Mr visited the ageney @ Japanese butler was engaged to spe- olally teach a class, and bedroom and Aining-toom furniture was installed in the agency for that owpose. but linme- diately after his departure sald furniture Was .winoved, and no classes have been helt since, "The office of the agency at Asbury Park was overrun with applicants for employment !n consequence of the dis- ribution of the above-mentioned clreu- ars, and many of the residents along the Jersey coast were deprived of thelr help for the same reason, During the fall I was employed to go from house to house in New York City distributin, these same circulars to servants, wit ment, which was MPs Efealy: these false promises of employment, and causing much dissatisfaction between servants and their employers, ' “Mrs, Healy {8 continually deceiving Bubsor-bers by telling them that she Is Boing to establish training classes, Mrs. Healy also makes {t a practice to keep on inserting an advertisement jn the Papers other for ‘help wanted’ or for jsituation wanted’ when the ‘ad.’ proves to be an attractive one, even though the sition may have beon already filled, ‘mployees in the agency havo told me that many of thelr advertisements were fletitious,” Mistress In Pink Tights. Here follow Uh te of a personal na- ture and a prayer that the license of the Women's Domestic Gulld of America be revoked, There was to have been a hearing of the case on Thursday last, but it was postponed until Wednesday at the re- quest of Attorney John H. Bogardus, Who appeared for Mrs, Healy and asked for time in reich to prepare a defense. Tt was on this oocasion that Supt, K iB heard tho statements of Cath: ering Loulsa Glynn, "It was on Oct, 20 last,” sald Miss Glynn, "that I called at the guild to get @ position as cook, I paid Mrs, Martin, ‘one of the clerks there, a fee of $1. f ‘was kept waiting untll Noy. 13, when I was sent to Bellmore, L. I., to do the cooking in the home of a wealthy New York fawyer, I thought it was a nice place until the afternoon, when a very dear friend of the lawyer and ancther woman walked !n on me dressed in pink tights and smoking cigarettes, ‘The woman Jn tights tald sho had ‘had a lot of trouble in Forning, a cook, and she hoped that I would stay, She sald the other girls had come from the guild. I replied that I did not think I would stay jong, but I did stay three nights because the lawyer was very good to me In pay- ing my fare and doing other little fa- vors,"" Miss Glynn returned to the guild on the following Wednesday and demanded that her fee of $1 be refunded, She has told Supt. Keating that she accused Mrs, Martin of knowing the kind of eatablishment to roiph she had sent rer, As a result of this acousation Miss Glynn declares that Mrs. Martin had a policeman put her into the street, All False; Says Mrs, Healy. Mrs, Healy said to-day in answer to hike Simms's and Miss Glynn's charges: “They are all falee, and I shalt be able to prove it, Tf the women were respon, sible ties J should bring action Against them for slander.” Mrs, Healy ls a handsome woman, with a distinct charm of manner, and WAS at One time prominent socially, She is a daughter of Judge Samuel Benton Higginbotham, and was the wife of the Jate Joseph Healy, an African explorer, who died a few years ago of fever In tho jingle, "My ald of the story," continued Alrs, Heal: has nat yet come out, All kinds of slanderous things have been circu: lated about me, and I am glad that J shall now hayo the opportunity to vin+ dicate myself and set these absurd sto- es at dagenties the present “T can account for charges agatha me only in one way, and that hecause certain parties have been dismissed from the Domestic Guild. Their animus 1s directed againat me, for they think that by ousting me they may get back their positions, I understand that one woman who ts {pressing a charge some time ago went te a fortune teller who told her that with my dismissal she would be éle- vated to the position of manager, “If there has been any violaton of the law Foperding employment bureaus It certainly has not been Intention: my part, but 4s through my subordl- nates, who have been careless or who have not carried out instructions, It las been for this reagon alone that many of them have been dismissed, Since the guild started IT have always tried to do the square Hila in business, both by the servants seeking Nt iene and by the housekeepers etn," EAMES AND YSAYE TO JOIN IN CONCERT, A tractive Programme for the Binefit of th: Lower East Side Music School.
