typographical UNION PENSIONS
How Plan Has Worked Out During Twen-
ty-four Weeks Of It's Application.


II has never been the policy Of the
international Typographical Union TO
follow. In all advance movements and
achievements the printers have been in
the lead. The progressiyeness of the
organization was clearly demonstrated
in the establishment Of the Union Print
ers' Home at Colorado Springs, Colo.
When the institution was opened In
1902, the more conservative trade union
lists viewed the project with doubt as
TO It's practicability. After sixteen years
the home stands to-day the only one OF
its kind in the world, grand monument
TO a great organization, It's mission es-
tablished and It's work constantly broad.
ening Recognizing that many aged and
incapacitated members were unable, be.
cause OF family ties, TO avail themselves
Of the comforts Of the home, the Inter
national union decided on another adj
vanced step and established the present
old age pension fund. The movement
originated ut the convention Of 1905,
which adopted resolution providing for
the appointment Of committee OF three
TO report 10 the next session a plan for
"a system of pension and relief for aged
and sick members The eight-hour
strike, begun on January /, 1905, so
occupied the attention of the organiza-
tiou that President Lynch delayed the
appointment of the committee until after
the 1905 convention, which decided the
time then ripe for the further considera'
tion OF this subject. At the 1907 con-
vention the committee appointed by
President Lynch reported, and its reei
concentrations, which are embodied In
the present pension laws, were adopted.
The proposed plan was submitted TO a
referendum vote OF the membership in
October, 1907, and was adopted by a
vote of l7,l77 for, to 9,l9i against, with
provision that the pension assessment
should not become effective until the
eight.hour assessment then being collect
ed was discontinued. In February, 1908,
the executive council ordered that the
eight-hour assessment be discontinued
with that month, and directed the collec-
ton Of the pension assessment, begin
ming with March, 1905. The assessment
being on the percentage plan, the reve-
nue. for any one month does not reach
headquarters until the following month.
Thus the international union had re-
ceived the assessment for ten months
March to December, 1908, inclusive-at
the close of business January 81, 1909.
II was estimated by the committee
the old age pension law that
the assessment OF one-half of per cent.
on the total earnings Of all members
would produce sles,000 per year, and
it was thought that the annual disburse-
ments OF pensions to pensioners would
aggregate 100000. This estimate was
thought to be conservative, and the re.
suit Of ten months experience with the
fund is, therefore, somewhat surprising.
The receipts of the fund have been far
in excess Of the estimate, and the ex-
penditures therefrom considerably less
than was anticipated, with this result,

Regarding the Assessment.
After collecting the assessment for ten
months and paying the pension for TWEEN
ty.four weeks--almost half year-there
Is healthy balance In the fund. Each
day brings new applications for this
benefit. The membership win grow older
with the passing of each year, and as
the number OF members reaching the age
Of 90 increases with the constantly adj.
yancing years, and the requirements that
20 with employment become more oner-
GUS, we must expect corresponding incre-
ment in the list Of pensioners. 1t is
now known that large number OF mem
bers who are legally entitled TO the PEN
sion have not asked therefor. Trade
conditions may further change and these
men may be deprived Of employment.
With these facts in view, let us not reach
hasty conclusions. The increasing bal.
ance in the fund is not a cause for worry.
II Is safeguarded in every possible way,
and, like the reserve fund OF large insur-
ance societies, may prove the salvation
OF the International Union and the pen
sion plan in the years TO come.

In the period covered by the above fig
ures per capita tax was received on an
average of 44T20 members. Thus the
pension assessment has averaged "a As
cents per member per month.
The pension is paid once in every four
weeks, the idea being TO give each PEN
sioner thirteen checks in twelve months.
At the close of business on January 81,
1909, six pension payments had been
made, covering the twenty-four weeks
ending January l6, 1909. The amount
paid to pensioners $3s, 344--is an aver
age OF Sl,50T per week. Should this
ratio be maintained for fifty-two weeks
-one year--the demands on the pension
fund would be far, less than its revenue.
However, the expenditures from the fund
will constantly grow, as is evidenced by
the continued addition OF names to the
roll OF pensioners. This statement is
also borne out by the experience Of the
English unions that have for years CON
Quoted pension funds.

of the landlords, Emanuel Mayer and

is that a large new building six to
eight stories high is to be erected on

Some Big Crowds Are Con-
sulting Stomach Oracle
Cooper Says General Sale Has Made No Difference
in Number of Callers.

Although his much discussed medi
cine is now on safe at all druggists in
New York, there has apparently been
no let-up in the crowds that are call
ing at the store where Cooper is meet
ing the public.
In speaking Monday of his extraor-
binary success in New York, Cooper
said: "The majority of the people who
are now calling to get my medicine
have been sent here by friends. There
is nothing the matter with nine out of
ten people who are in poor health but
stomach trouble, brought about by
over-feeding and little outdoor exer-
else. 1 can prove this in a few weeks
to anyone who tries Cooper's New Dis
covery. AS soon as l have proved it,
and they no longer feel tired and dull
and nervous, they tell their friends
about it, and that beats anything l
could say on the subject.
Il thought when l put my medicine
on sale generally in New York there
would be let-up at this store, but ap-
parently there are just as many call
ing to talk with me as ever People
have not yet realized they can get the
medicine wherever they choose I
shall continue to meet the public at
this store during the rest of my stay
in New York"

tion on Monday by New Workers who
are strongly in favor of Cooper's theo-
ry and medicine was the following by
Mrs. Charles Trensch of 81 Desbrosses
