This bill attracted attention, and after
some comparison of views among veterans
in and out of the Grand Army, an associa-
ton was formed and convention was held
in New York city on March 1, 1888 Before
the meeting was held the bill had been pre-
sented for approval to thousands of
posts of the Grand Army, to de-
partment encampments in several states,
and to various veteran associations out
side. The convention in March was repre-
sentative and formed a national associa-
ton adopting the title of Per Diem Rated
Service Pension for the bill it resolved to
advocate. The measure was introduced into
congress by members from three states, Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts,; Senator Came

kerr of New York.
