Union Labor Awakening.

Generosity has ever been the pro
f nounced characteristic of printers.
Thus begins a description in a print
+ ers' journal of the imposing and
beDafcent home for disabled mem
bers of the International TypOgIaph-
zeal Union at Colorado Springs. By
The sh0winc of Illustrations and text,
the institution includes several hand
some buildings surrounded by beauti-
fuI gardens, cares generously and
skfIIfully for its wards, and repre-
sents total subscriptions by active
workmeu of more than $250,001.
Much of this is now an old story.
Newspapers have editorialized it,
poets have poeuzed it. and thousands
of printers have printed it. But it
has one aspect on which very few
seem TO have dwelt. 1t represents
in practical value the first serious
effort of the union workman in
America TO turn his union TO some
account beyond the control OF the
labor market.
Political economists have long com
planned of the union Iaborer. Since
the dav of Sir Thomas HuskisOn,
under whose leadership in 1924 the
first union of lab0Ters was authorized
in England. it has been the cry-not
that the union erred in attempting 10
control the sale OF skilled labor-but
that fit has nodded all its members
TO one pattern. Read the annals OF
union labo- in the United States as
carefully as one may, he viii look
IL vain for a single school created
and maintained by union wOrkmen
for the high development of special
skill
Their leaders have never perceived,
OF. perceiviug, have never acted in
observance of the principle that the
maintenance of a hard. fixed limit of
labor and skill must inevitably oper-
ate TO prevent the individual develop
menr OF the union workman. AS the
union now operates, all it's members
in good standing are on the same
footing. If this were changed
through the development of special
skill by cooperative enterprise-oniy
the lazy and haIf-competent would
suffer. and one of the few reasonable
objections uc labor unions would be
ayerted.
The Union Printers Home is taugi-
BILE proof that one union has awak-
ened 10 It's broader OppOrJunities-
This was TO be expected of printers
who are more largely professional
intelligent as they are generous. If
union labor in America is 10 con
