Mackey assails Adjutant General over soldier inquiry
Harry A. Mackey chairman of the Pennsylvania Workmen's Compensation Bureau criticizes the Adjutant General's office for poor handling of soldier inquiries. He cites a correspondence with Congressman George P. Darrow showing the department could only provide information up to July 4, 1918, though the family knew the soldier's whereabouts in September 1918. The exchange includes a December 19, 1918 letter from the Adjutant General to Darrow.
