Confederate Veterans relief amendment moves through Congress
A letter from Representative Joseph W. Higgins says the Works bill may aid Confederate veterans by turning over the Soldier's Home at Johnson City to the veterans. Gen. John P. Hickman urged aid only for Confederates and widows with clean war records. Burns and Stophel have introduced a joint amendment, but no vote this session. The Works bill stems from Senator Works. The Cheatham bivouac endorses Hickman’s amendment.
