A NEW PENSION BILL.
Il VIII Add Millions to the Amount Now
Paid Out.
THE GRAND ARMY HAD IT DRAWN UP
Com missioner's Rulings Did No,
Please Pension Attorneys. and
They Overcome Them.

New York. May IA special to the
Herald from Washington says. From
S2,O00.ooo to 100000 a year is the
amount Commissioner OF Pensions Evans
roughly estimates will be added to the
pension expenditures OF the government
by the action Of the house today in pass
ang the bill which has already passed the
senate amending the dependent pension
law of 1890
The measure. known as the Grand Army
bill, makes two important changes In the
present law designed TO meet objections
which pension attorneys. backed BY the
Grand Army. have raised to the rulings
OF Pension COMMISSIONER Evans.
Fblling in their efforts to have the
commissioner TO grant pensions in certain
DOUBTFUL cases. they turned their attention
co congress and the pension committee o.
the Grand Army drafted the bill which
has now passed both houses substantially
as it left their hands.
The present law provides that honorably
discharged soldiers or sailors of the civil
war incapactated for manual labor shall
receive a pension of not more than 81
moth and not less than$6 This has been
conceived to entitle pensioner suffering
from two or more inirmtties 10 receive
only such pension as his most serious
infrmity would entilte him to- The new
act provides that the ratings for all tho
disabilities shall be aggregated and that
the pensloner Shall receive this aggre,
gate. providing 1t shall not amount to
more than Sl2 a moth.
The law of 1890 provides that widows
having no means of support except man
ual labor shall receive IS a month. This
Is construed to mean that where the in
come Of widow from sources outside OF
her daily labor amounted to more than
the amount Of the pension, she should re-
ceive no pension. The new act gives the
pension to widows having an income OF
not more than $3.50 year
The bill met with little opposition to-
day. 1t was supported by republicans
generally aud by some democrats. 1t
passed without a division.

ANII-JAPANEsE CONFERENCE.
New York OrSn nized Labor Has
started the Cry.

New York, May IA conference OF
representatives Of District Assembly 40,
knights of Labor, District Assembly 10
and 22O Of Brooklyn, the Contederated
union and the Central Labor union in
Brooklyn was held this evening in this
city TO devise means to secure legislation
TO restrict immigration and to amend the
Chinese exclusion act SO as to include
japanese in its provisions.
The call for the conference began by
saying that an army OF foreign laborers
We're hocking to these shores and were
, croNding into occupations that were al
ready overstocked thus lntllctlng grea-
hlrdships upon American workmen. 1t
was declared that large proportion Of
these aliens were merely birds OF passage
and did not intend becoming citizens
Delegate William Allen OF District As
senlbly 40 said that the object of the con-
ference was 10 see what could be done TO
restrict the immense immigration that
was pouring in.
We read that strikes are breaking ont
all over the country" he continued but
obstacles to their success is that there Is
a large amount Of unemployed labor that
Is ready TO step in and MI the gaps. This
unemployed labor Is caused by the great
immigration that flows In and as long as
I
viii never yield to the demands OF strik =
ers FOR ap advance OF wages or a reduc-
tion Of the hours OF LABOR, Last year
several employers took immigrants from
Ellis Island to MI The places of strikers.
THAT there are more men even in the
skilled trades than the demand is for Is
seen from the fact that some unions have
raised their initiation fees to the prohibit
! tive figures of $500 and S12b aud severai
unions have closed their books and Will
net admit any one TO membership on any
terms"
! Delegate Allen then submitted a rough
draft Of a proposed bill. 1t prohibited any
alien from entering the UnHed states to
engage in any occupation who did not in
tend 20 become citizen. or who intended
i TO engage In any congested occupation or
'Bake the place Of striker or locked out
! workman, or to work for less than the
/ prevailing rate OF wages
/ The bill finally proposes an amendment
TO the Chinese exclusion act, providing
that all laws now in force prohibiting the
immigration of Chinese or persons of
/ Chinese descent he amended so as to In
clude the Japanese in its provisions,
committee was appointed to draft a
bil and submit It for the consideration
Of the various central labor organizations
and to report.
