ORGANIZATION or THE PENSION 0rrcE .
Tho greatly increased labor devovlng upon this ONCE
by reason OF the passage Of the Pension OF June
and July 20 1885, AZ well the continued reception Of
applications In numbers exceeding what anticipated
war, render necessary TO considerable addition V
the clerical force now authorized by law The insdos
quacy OF the salaries now allowed TO clerks In the more
responsible positions In this Office, and the maYko9
inequality between these salaries and those paid IL
other departments TO officers ntrusod with duties NO
more arduous and requiring higher order OF quaHca
tons In any respect are urged upol your aept

The business Of this bureau is IN favorable con.
dition though for reasons already stated brought
up 30 closely as was hoped, ct the date OF my an.
nual report The number OF cases disposed OF durna
the last nsca year without any material Increase Of tho
clerical force was greater by about fourth than du
Ing the year preceding The labor devolvihR upon the
Pension ONCE during the current year will DO nearly OF
quite double that Of any previous year my cons
nect:on herewith. Az q consequence, without n,
organization and increase Of force the business mus
inevitably fai very much In arrears Earnestly depr61
eating such result IL s hope that Congress- q I'D
approaching session. Win take prompt sc:ion on thil
