Pension plan for dependent widows and children faces review
The New York Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor proposes state city or private charity pensions for dependent widows and children based on health and efficiency metrics. Of 50 pensions granted since December 1912, none are now needed for seven families, while 43 others show most mothers stay at home. A study of 500 nonpensioned families finds nearly 200 mothers work away from home and neglect their children. Nathan Cohen, a Russian native, is stranded at Ellis Island after a long deportation saga, with Brazilian and Russian authorities refusing landings and the steamship company bearing costs.
