Attorney General Cosson Says
Conditions Are the Same as
Have Been Unearthed in
Chicago.
OPINIONS FROM MANY
Majority Say That Working
Girls Are Paid Too Little
and This is Chief Cause
Of Their Downfall.

DES MONIES, March IL.
|nThere are at least ten cities
|m.Iowa, = said Attorney gener-
| al Cosson today, s in which the
same conditions concerning the
relations of low wages for wo-
men and white slavery as has
been snearthed IN Chicago
exist. I favor; a thorough in
yestigation by a legislative
committee but when She probe
/ is started it must go the lntire
distance and make a complete
study Of the question including
the profits Of stores, and fac
tories employing girl labor and
also the charge that Iowa is a
recruiting station for the Chi
cago tenderloin. z
Appeals Pouring In.
WARRINGTON. March 11.-From
every section Of the country there are
pouring in today on the new admins
tration and senator's and con gressmen
appeals that they take up the question
Of the minimum wage for women and
girls as soon as possible. The revela-
tions in the Chicago probe, which are
paralleled in every community in the
nation, have stirred the people to an
extent seldom before reached and
there is little doubt that the problem
will be really serious one when the
regular session of congress opens in
December next.
There is hardly community in the
nation where Investigations are not
now in progress. The fact that the
majority Of the big business men in
Chicago have insisted that nationa,
and not state legislation will be re
CURED to solve the problem brings
the subject home to the national legis
lators. But the introduction Of any
general bill framed along the line
suggested from Chicago, would i'm
mediately percipitate the doctrine o.
violation of states rights, and this
point. it is believed, will furnish a de
cidedly ticklish situation that will re
quire diplomacy to solve without EN-
barrassment.
It was certain today from dis
patches received from nearly ever.
section of the country that the entir.
nation has been aroused.
Testimony before the Legislative
committee at Chicago shows exactl.
what everybody who has studied thu
subject knows--that u girl worker a

badly, asks favors outside in order t

ORDER NOT UNDERSTOOD. New London Forts Designated as Coast
 Defensas of Sound.

In Thursdays army orders is an order that the coast defenses of New London are to be known as the coast defenses of Long Island sound. The order says Forts Wright. Terry, Mans field. Michie and Tyler are included in the order. The significance of the order is not understood in this district. fine coast defenses of New London nave always been referred to as the coast defenses of Long Island.
 Fort Tyler has always been included in the local coast defenses. It is called g fort by courtesy more than by any right to such a title It is nothing but a sand dune with a few old gun place ments.
 Fort Tyler is situated between Gard iner's Island and Plum Island. It was used last summer for the first time in many years. During the night firing a searchight was stationed on the isl- and to trace the shots. It was neces- sary to anchor quite a distance from the island and then to row in small boats to the fort.
