THE bill to create a home for crippled, infirm and aged scamca of the merchant marine service, introduced in the United States Congress a few wecks ago by Mr. Johnson, of Cleveland, is the outcome of the agitation of this quesiton the Veteran Seaman's Benevolent Association of Cleveland, organized short time ago. The astociation supporting the bill favors no special location for the home, as the members feel that the success of such an institution, wherever it might be located would result in the establishe ment of similar bomes on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and on the Inkces. The bill seeks to have the work of erecting and managing the institution given over to the secretary of the navy. Perrous to be admitted to the home, according to
