TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
Com missioner Raum Says the Pension Omcs
Cannot Answer All Communications.

Com missioner Raum Says the Pension Omcs
Cannot Answer All Communications.
Gen. Raum, the commissioner Of pensions,
has written to Representative-elect Enochs Of
Ohio explaining why there is often delay in an
swering letters sent to the pension office by
Congressman asking the status of pension
claims. Gen. Raum quotes figures to show that
if the Office gave immediate attention to all re-
quests Of this sort, the entire time Of the whole
Office force would be taken up in looking up the
claims and answering letters, and the appli-
cants for pensions would have to wait long
while for their claims to be adjudicated. He
says that on the first day Of July there were
523, 1877 claimants who have never been PEN
stoned prosecuting claims before the bureau
and 395. 6S9 claims for increase of pension were
pending. Preference is given to original claims
where the applicant is not getting any pension
at this time, the larger force being engaged on
that work. Cases which are completed are
given right OF way and hurried through as rap
idly possible.
During the past fiscal year. he says, 154 S17
communications were received from Congress-
men asking for information as to claims 'To
draw the claims to which these letters relate
and have the examiners from day to day give
the status OF claims as requested by members, ="
he says, would be such an interference with
the other business of the bureau that it would
be denial Of justice to $4,000 or 10O, 600 PEN
sioners per annum who would otherwise re-
ceive certificates upon adjudication of their
claims. Where member Of Congress is cogni-
zant of the fact, from knowledge or accurate
information, that an old soldier Is in such o
condition physically or financially as to render
it important that his claim should receive i'm
mediate attention, and that fact is brought to
the notice of the Office, do not hesitate to
have the case called up, examined, and the
stains given and in such caaes I would he Glad
to respond to your letters.
''Now, in addition to letters Of members of
Congress- the office last year received 1,170,660
communications from claimants, their friends
and attorneys, making inquiries as to the con-
dition Of these claims. These communications
poured in at the rate of more than 800 per day.
Their receipt was acknowledged, and the let
ters were sent to the claims, but it was physic-
ally impossible to draw the cases to which they
related and give the condition Of the same"
He says that $4,000 claims are adjudicated
each month; that $50, 900 will be issued during
this fiscal year, which is an increase Of 100000
over last year. during which year (ending June
80 lasD 1000 more were issued than in any
previous year.
