No Money for Shiftless Men.

Commissioner Black has recommended,
and Representative Mckinney of New
Hampshire, has prepared bill to prevent
payment of pensions to men who do not
support their families. In such cases, if the
bill becomes law, the pension money will
be paid to duly appointed agent, who will
turn the pension over to the wife or some
other member of the family recognized as fit
TO. receive it. The pension Office is in daily
receipt of complaints from wives and de-
pendent relatives, in cases where the PEN
sioners squander their money for drink, and
the care of their families devolves on the
wives, who have to work hard to support
their children. The Pension Office is power
less under present laws, in such cases.. but
this bill |, which will probably become a law.
