Gecsnt Pension Legislation, and the Status OF tbs
Organization.
As the members of the ex-Army Nurses Asso-
| citation are receiving letters making inquiries
relating to the Association, the Encampment
of the g. R., and pension legislation, the OIL
GERS have thought best to answer through these
columnA
The ex-Army Nurses Association has head
quarters at Washington, ID. c., the officers be-
ing President, Senior and Junior Vice PresI-
dent Secretary, Treasurer, and Attorney.
This is the only Association of the kind in
the world. All women of good moral character,
and who served for three months as nurses. Civ
ing personal care to the sick and wounded sol
diers in the civil war, under the direction OF
the Surgeon, are entitled to become members
upon due proof of the same and payment OF
the fee of 81.
The history of sll pension legislation relat-
Ing to their bills would occupy too much space.
But is may be said that during the session of
1890, bill to "pension Army Nurses" at S25
per month was fsyorably considered by the
Senate Committee. Then the Pension Commit
tee of the W.R.C. insisted that the rating
should be reduced to SIP per month, and in
troduced in both Senate and House bills to
that effect, without restrictions as to length or
character of service.
This bill was amended by the Senate Com
Senate Report, 326l and amended by the
House Committee II. T., II, 256l and reported
10 the House II. r.. 2,632); but no action was
taken, and the bill died with the last Congress.
This session the original bill of the W.R.C
II. R., 46S) was again introduced, and we in
troduced another III. r. $685. and requested
that the name Army Nurse" be erased from
the first bin 81. r, 468). An amended bill
III. z, 1924 was introduced, and reported III.
Report SOP favorably by the unanimous vote
of the Committee on Invalid Pensions, aud Is
now on the Calendar Of thu House.
The present Secretary of the Pension Com
mittee, W.RC., Mrs II. L. Reed, of Boston,
who has been in Washington in the interests
OF that organization, has earnestly supported
the present bill, and the relations between tho
representatives of the W.RC. and Ana. have
been most cordial, they working hand in hand.
Daring the National Encampment, GAR,
the Association will have headquarters and all
women who seryei as nurses, presenting
credentials, will be presented with badge,
which viii eutitie them to al the benefits
which can be secured.
All Army Nurses are requested to write to
Miss II. 2. Dame, President, ANA. Treasury
Department, Washington, d. C., or Mrs. E. s.
Tomar, Attorney, Lawrence, Mass, giving
name Then and now, date of enlistment and
discharge, by whom commissioned, hospital,

The pension bills and reports can be obtained
by writing to the member of Congress from
