Troy, June 8, l874-To all Local Unions.
The last International Convention passed a
law, called the endowment plan, which in
its workings, as far as can be Judged at the
present time, is doing Just the reverse from
what was expected.
We hereby protest against the further exc
cution of said law for the following reasons
L. The law is injurious, not having the
least bearing on the principle Of our Unions,
which is the protection OF our trade.
q 1t is unjust for any member having paid
for a number of wears. and then leaving the
Union for some reason other, for instance
by becoming an employee himself OF engage
in some other business, loses thereby the bene-
hit of all his payments.
8 There is no security in the investment,
because it is most probable it will be annulled
on or before our next International Conven-
ton.
T. The difference in the age is not con-
sidered, whereby young member has to pay
a much greater share than old one say
for instance two men Join at the same time,
one being twenty and the other fifty years of
age, and take the average age at 90, the
man joining at twenty years OF age will pay
lust three times the amount which the man
of fifty will pay, not considering any inter
est.
There are more reasons against it, but these
are sufficient IN our opinion to condemn the
law altogether Therefore We, the members
of Union No. 9 invite the cooperation of all
other Unions in this matter, with view to
take steps leading to the annulment of said
law
All Unions holding the same opinion will
please correspond with us as speedily as possi-
ble and direct to our Corresponding Secre-
tary By order of Union No. 9.
