Tbomaa, one of the tao attorneye on the Ioulaa county delegation to the legislature, be lieves if the present laws were enforced there would be no trouble with them and there would be no further robbing of the unsophisticated who sign with the agencies for employment. "We have a statute to provide against "btainin. money under false pretenses and It appears to me If this was enforced the ! employment agencies would soon cease tak- Itfg fees from the unemployed and sending ! them out after fictitious Jobs," said Mr. Thomas. "When an employment agency accepts a fee from a man and then sends , him on a wild goose chase. It has obtained i money under false pretenses and ought to i prosecuted under the statute," Mr. Tbomaa did not know that the em ployment agencies in Omaha operate un der permit, and said that he thought It would be a good plan to make them take out permits. When he was tnfirmed thst they all work under city perml's. he said if these were revoked when the agenrv practiced rnlswfnlly the wrongdoers would soon be weeded out. But it has been many a long day since a permit granted to an employment arer-cr baa been revoked. Tea TMaajr Laws Sow. "We have bo many lass on the statute bocks now that care ought to be exercised in passing more lawa on points already covered," said the legislator.
