SAYS PENSION WAS PASSED ON MERITS Zihiman Answers Clalm Law- yers Aided Passage of Po- lice and Fire Bill. n 2 letter te Raymond Huntt, presi dent of the Firefighters' Association, Representative Frederick N. Zihlman, chairman of the House District com- mittee, declares the legislation grant- ing overdue pensions to retired police- men and firemen went through the House solely on the efforts of the com: mittee_because of its merit. Mr. Huntt had written a letter to Chairman Zihlman in which he said: “Several of the pensioners have ad vised me that they signed an a ment with some s here in which they pledged 33 cent of the back pension to th vers for their ef forts in obtaining passage of this The president of the firefighters’ Zihlman to bill.” organization asked Mr. advise him as to what efforts were made in getting the bill passed. The letter from Mr. Zihlman follows: “I am in receipt of your letter of the 22nd instant and in reply would say that I was never interviewed by any attorney in refer > the back pension bill for the Po d Fire De- partments which we d_during the last session of Congress. I talked with Congressman Gibson some time ago about this, and he told me that no one had seen him on this matter either—and the bill was put through entirely by the efforts of the com- mittee because of its merit.” Hosa B. Moulton, an attorney, has filed suit in the District Supreme Court for an injunction to restrain the Commissioners, Auditor Don and District Disbursing Officer I from paying the claims due 80 of the pensioners. Mr. Moulton says the pensioners voluntarily sought his aid in obtaining passage of the bill, and that they entered into an agreement to pay him an amount eqgual to one- third of the retirement money due them if the claims were successfully pressed. The lawyer states that the pensioners, who sought his aid three years ago, offered to pay 50 per cent, but that he declined and wrote into the agreement the one-third fee pro- vision. He seeks to establish his right to a lien on the claims of those who signed the agreement with him. Justice Hoehling has issued a rule on the District officials to answer the petition August 3.
