There you have a man speaking from experience and without prejudice—the superintendent of one of the largest and most successful State employment agencies in this country. I believe, Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, you will find these articles a valuable contribution to your record. I shall be vlad to leave them with you. In as much as the policies and practices of the fee-charging agencies were severely criticized yesterday morning and that criticism will appear in the record, a permanent record, I ask the indulgence of your committee for the privilege of reading the Standards of Practice of the National Employment Board, in order that you may know what the outstanding representative free-charging agencies in this country stand for. May I read it into the record? Mr. Micaener. How extensive is it? Miss Cooke. Two pages. The CrarrMAN. Well, they may be filed. Mr. MicueNer. I would rather have them printed than read. Miss Cooke. Very well. The CrarrmMaN. Very well. Miss Cookke. I will leave those two articles. It is discretionary with you, of course, whether they are printed, but you will find some real practical information contained therein. The CuarmaN. They may be filed. STANDARDS OF PracTicE NaTioNnaL EmproymMent Bosrp Whereas the National Employment Board is an organization operating for the mutual benefit of the fee-charging employment agencies, employers, and the em- ployment-seeking public, and Whereas this association through frank and lawful cooperation of its members is committed to remove from its field of endeavor such attendant evils and trade customs as are contrary to sound business principles and the highest standards of practice, and Whereas experience has shown that standards of practice governing business relations ave essential to the progress and development of every trade and pro- fession, and Whereas each vocation requires rules peculiarly adapted to itself: therefore be it Resolved, That the members of this association accept the following standards of practice as fundamental to the best interests of the public, the employer, and the 2ge1CY. RELATIONS WITH EMPLOYERS 1. Candidates shall not be referred to employer clients without the prior authori- zation of the clients themselves. 2. Introductions to clients shall be withheld from all applicants who are found to be of questionable character. 3. Intimate facts relating to the business policy of clients which are imparted as aids to the intelligent handling of their requirements shall be preserved in strict confidence. 4. Service shall be withheld from employers who are known to abuse or exploit their employees or who fail to provide proper working conditions for them or who refuse to permit reasonable inquiry when necessary into their business solvency. 5. Dividing or sharing commissions with employer clients or with their repre- sentatives is illegal and unethical and is strictly forbidden. Candidates shall not be referred to employers who indicate their expectation of these indulgences. 6. Applicants shall not be solicited for other positions while they are still in the employ of clients with whom thev have been blaced.
