 Other of the telegrams related to the famous Zimmerman note, in which Germany proposed an alliance with Mexico and Japan and which the As sociated Press revealed to the world.

GIRLS WIN THEIR CASE
Laundrymen Must Pay Higher Wages
Over the State.

It was a sad bunch of .aundrymen
that left Topeka Thursday night at
the close of the state Laundrymen's
convention. The reason for the gloom
was the ruling. of the state welfare
commission that girls who work in
laundries must be paid not less than
$3.50 for week of fifty-four hours.
the fifty-four hours to be so divided
that not more than nine consecutive
hours should constitute day.
The laundrymen spent time and
money in preparing data with which
they hoped to defeat the ruling, but
it was all in vain. The tongue of J. I.
Sheppard, of Fort Scott. attorney for
the working girls. and the recon-
mendations of Miss Lima Bresette,
state welfare commissioner, proved to
be weapons with an edge and the laun-
dryInen were forced to accept the ru1-
ing.
The faundrymen declared that the
ruling would ruin them financially
and would force them to- close down
their plants The commission decided
that this argument was all camouflage
and that anyway the girls earned their
$3.50 per week.
