G A R National Reunion Faces Decline Says Commander Adams
Primsvana reports delegates at the G A R national encampment as 200 000 visitors have left town while 200 000 remain, awaiting elections for chief commander and other events. Talks hint at Walker winning and St Paul making steady progress. Officers and relief corps prepare for Westinghouse building reception in Pittsburg. Commander Adams notes membership and relief expenditures, warns this marks the beginning of the end as deaths, transfers, and suspensions reduce the order’s ranks. The pension controversy dominates, with criticisms of the pension office and calls for reform as detailed figures show yearly losses and gains.
