IRISH PENSIONS
AMENDMENTS TO BILL. GENERAL CRITICIZED. (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) Dublin, October 26. “God knows I don’t want to revive hatred and bitterness,” said General Mulcahy in the Dail when tabling amendments to the Pensions Bill, withholding the pensions of persons who shot members of the provisional government and other officials. Mr Frank Aiken retorted that if General Mulcahy wanted trouble he would get all he wanted. Recalling service under General Mulcahy, he said: I burned sixteen trains at General Mulcahy’s orders, using whisky, not petrol, and was praised for it. General Mulcahy showed himself a bully and behaved brutally when the victor. We want pensions for the dependents of the men he executed.
