Henry Neil of Chicago, father or the mothers' new pension law and secre tary of the National Probation league, was In the city today in the interests of a publicity campaign he is waging against a change in the act referred to. When the legislature meets again there will be an effort made by the central charities organization, in New York to secure an amendment giving that body the handling of the funds and specifying that salaries of its of ficers and its running expenses be paid from the state funds. "I am opposed to making these pensions to mothers appearing in the light of a charity," said Mr. Neil. "I think the law should be lft as it is. Now the mother who is entitled to the benefits it confers feels that, she is doing1 something for the state for which she has a right to demand com pensation sufficient to sustain life and keep her family together. If a char itable organization stood between her and the juvenile court she would be placed in the position of a pauper." In Chicago yesterday there was paid to 503 mothers having 1,700 children the sum of $11,713.88 .as pension for the month of October. Mr. Neil has espouses the following as three "new commandments" apply ing to his particular field: All men shall make sure that all children have proper care, regard less of goodness or badness, re gardless of color or creed, regard less of efficiency or inefficiency of parents. No child shall be permitted to suffer for the sins of its father or mother where human agency can prevent. Juvenile poverty shall be abol ished.
