NEW YORK, April 1O.-Bearing no

LAUNDRY WORKERS ASK
TO WORK LONGER HOURS
That Is To Say, Queer-Lookins Peti-
tIons, Signed by Them. Are Heach-
In Legislature.
oFrom A. stan corresponAento


LANSING, Mich, April 1O.-Stacks
of petitions from laundry workers all
over the state are coming In TO the
legislature asking for the passage OF
n bill. suspending the Flowers 54-
hours-a-week law for women so 1ar
Il applies to women In laundries DUR
ing three months of summer, and In
stores 10 days before Christmas
That so many of the laundry work
ers should be petitioning for the
change of law was made an object
OF inquiry by Mr.. Flowers, when one
of the laundry lobbyists who have
been haunting the house, chanced TO
stop near his desk.
1T is strange" said MIR. Flowers,
that they should be so willing 10
sign these petitions. I suppose they
initiated themselves" He knew that
the petitions were all printed uni
formly, showing that they had come
from some central source.
''Oh, no: we got the blank petitions
printed, and took them around and
laid them on benches. We told the
workers that they could sign the pc
titions or not as they wished, but
that they were for their benefit. Near
ly all of the help signed them. A few
didn't"
Were the one who refused to sign
workers who were afraid for their
Jobs, or were they the skilled work.
ers?"
Why, they were mostly from the
skilled workers, so far as | noticed.
BY the way, what do you pay your
help?"
Anywhere from eight to 20 cents
an hour"
Only one foundry proprietor OF De-
troit has expressed opposition to the
bill He is Andrew Crawford OF the
Grand laundry. He wrote Mr. Flowers
that there was no need OF such bill
The bill is on general order but the
chances are not good for It's passage

VAN z|LE ELECTED
BY 318 MAJORITY
Complete Canvass of Entire Vote for
Circuit Court Judges Shows Prose
cutor Wins Over Judge Donovan.

When the members of the election
canvassing board finished their work
of going over the returns In the con
test for six circuit court judges 10
decide whether Judge Donovan or
Philip #. Van Zile was entitled 10
sixth place In the race, II was found
that Mr.. Van Zile was the winner by
majority of 31S. The vote stood {:
Van Zile, 22,635; Donovan. 22,3l7.
Judge Donoyan's close friends say
he will ask the Legislature to give him
recount. They are afraid, however,
| the recounting OF the ballots may
never take place, 70 rthe reason that
there is very little time between now
and the date set for the adjournment
of the legislature, April 49,. The legis
lature can act as 1t sees ut In the
matter, and. should q committee be
appointed TO make the recount, the
verdict of the committee is final, there
| being no court of appeal for the can
dIdate.
In connection with the inspection
of the returns for other circuit court
candidates, IL was found that George
p. Codd gained enough votes to place
him In fourth position, ousting p. J
NJ. Hally, Democrat, who drops into
fifth place. Codd's majority over Hal
ly Is 1876. Hally has lead of 514 over
Van Zile. who gets sixth place, and
! his friends are not worrying very
much over probable recount OF the
ballots for all the leading candidates
In the circuit court race, being con
vinced that he would get fair show
even though the recount committee
would be Republican. and that. any
way, there would not likely be any
material change In his present lead

But when the revolution broke out

"The secret clauses OF the treaty
photographed by Ambassador Wilson,
gave Japan a lease OF coaling sta

coaling station at one other OF the
few scattered ports down the Mexican
coast.
The clauses also set forth the
mutual interests Of Japan and Mex.

ance, gave in a diplomatic way Ja-

OF Mexico against aggression. The
treaty had been ratified. not by the
