Pension bill cost and commentary from Mr. Bentley
Washington notes reveal J. Bentley estimates the arrearage pension bill at about 510 million dollars and 50 million for the current year. He criticizes Congress for passing the measure without understanding its full cost and notes the bill ties pensions to discharge or death dates with disability based grades. He also discusses broader Mexican labor, peonage, and mining prospects near Guaymas, and reflects on immigration and regional politics.
