TO MAKE PENSION RAIDERS SQUIRM. The Secwety of Loyal Volunteers Or- ganized to Correct Existing Abuses The Kepublic Bureau, } Cor. lth St. and Pennsyivan e% Washington, Feb. 5 Self-vespectung veterans are more | alive to the abuses of the pension | system than the democratic house. | A resolution to investigate the pen | sion bureau and the working of the} pension system has for weeks te) A band of high- | rebellion | tire in the house. minded survivors of the began toedey (cir march upon ‘s citidel with the determina-| * ; ; A - Raum’s citidel w t }m ut and the claim upou which the |immediately. is now are | | tion to wipe out what proach and a disgrace to every hon est soldier who fought for patriot-| | } ism and not for bounty. The Society of Loyal Volunteers issued to-day its prospectus and | constitution. The pamphlet also gives a list of the founders and or- | ganizers of the society, and their military and naval regords. The list and records show that the organ ers of the movement served with great gallantry throughout the war and that they participated in all the hard fought battles, receiving wouuds in many cases of a sevcre nature. While many of them do not draw pensions, some do, but all are ashamed of the present pension sys- tem and have banded themselves together to right it. The prospec. tus asserts that it is the duty of Y citizen to loyally serve his country, and that he is not entitled to subsequent support unless his earning capacity is impaired by such service and he is It de- mands that the pension laws be amended so that the pension certifi- eates of all persons who are not in need or not able to earn a comfor!- able living shall be cancelled. It all loyal citizens having good military or naval records during the war and a good civil record since the war, who are not able to procure a comfortable living shall receive suitable support from the government. One of the most active members is Allen R. Foote, whose record is first given. He over three years, fought tive battes, was shot through the right lung and ncw draws a pension of $10 a month. Frank R. Williams served two years, nine “battles and wes shot in the knee. He draws a pen- sion of $2.2 mouth. Harrison Dingham served 2 years, was in three battles,was shot through the left leg and, although badly wounded, has never drawn a pen in need asks this so that served was in sion Jebediah C. Pain served four yeurs and was in sixteen battles. Charles Looser served four years, Was in twelve battles, was twice a prisoner of war, was wounded and left for dead at the field of Brandy Station and draws no pension. Gilbert H. McKibben served nearly four years, was iu sixteen battles, was wounded in the face at Petersburg and draws no pension. Martin J. Keys was mustered out alter tour months service on account of wounds received at Bull Run. He receives no pension. Taese are fair samples ef the men who believe that it is time to calla halt in the pension business Among others whose records are yiven—and good ones they are too —who draw no pensions, are An- thony J. Allaire, Bankston T. Mor- gan, John J. Finn, Thomas B. Odell, Phillip B. Low, Ray T. Gordon, Al- mond D. Hodges and George A. Priest. General Jas. Obeirne, who has a most excellent army record and was twice wounded, is also one of the founders. He draws a pen- sion of $20 a month. All the organ izers are grand army men _ ex- cept two aud they belong to the legion.
