Description
Excerpt from Report of the Commission to Investigate Employment Offices: May, 1911 The commission was appointed in July, 1910, but inas much as all the members had arranged to take summer vaca tions during the month of August, no work could be done until the first of September. The months of September, October and November were devoted to study and investiga tion of existing conditions, and the collection of the material upon which the report of the commission was to be based. Investigators were employed who visited in person practically all the employment offices in Boston, and in other cities and towns having a population of more than inhabitants in which there were more than 3 licensed offices. In the smaller towns and in cities and towns having 3 or less licensed offices the business was found to be so limited that investiga tion was hardly worth while. In this way 92 licensed offices in Boston and the same number outside of Boston were visited and 39 other calls were made at supposedly licensed offices which either had gone out of business or were doing so little as to make investigation valueless. In addition to the licensed offices, all offices doing business without licenses, so far as discovered, were investigated in the same manner. Besides the personal investigation of offices, the results of which were fully reported to the commission by the investi gators, the commission itself conferred with many managers of employment offices of all kinds; with members of the Licensing Board of the City of Boston; with former members of the Police Board of Boston; with the present Police Com missioner of Boston; with former inspectors of police, who were at one time specially assigned to the duty of inspecting licensed employment offices; with employers and employees.
