The union printers, G" ;he Inter
national Typographical Union, are
the strongest organization of labor
and the most intelligent oae probably
IN existence in the world. The'c
membership has passed the G0,GOo
mark, and possibly two-ti.rG} Of this
number are holding regular situa-
tions.
Every member Of this powerful or
gan,zaton for the past few years
has contributed, and is still contrib
uting, one-half Of one per cent of
his earnings for the upkeep OF the
Union Printers Home at Colorado
Springs, Colo, and the success Of
this wonderful home and the good it
is doing for the printing fraternity
and for umanity at large. will be
portrayed in motion pictures at the
Majestic theatre next Friday.
In connection with the play, en-
titled "A Durable Disease" there will
be shown a number of views of the
exterior and interior of the home,
which will no doubt arouse much
interest even among the printers
who have heard so much and seen
so little Of this institution
In addition to the home, the typo
graphical union has another assess
ment of one-half of one per cent set
aside from each salary for the "old
age pension fund thereby paying
$40 per month to members who have
grown too old to earn living at the
trade. Furthermore, they have a
sliding scale of death benefits, rang
ing from one hundred to four hun
| dred dollars
Harmony is the chief support of
this organization of working men, and
the local union of Ardmore, while few
in number, are always ready and
willing to do all in each mans power
to help the organization and the en-
ploying printers. Unlike many unions
! the printers take a special pride in
| every reasonable way to make a sue
| cess of the printing business, and
how well they are succeeding is shown
by the number of CLOSED" shops in
| the United States today.
Go to the Majestic Friday, and see
this wonderful exhibition of what
cooperation can do The printers
are getting nothing from the pro-
; ceeds of this picture-nothing but
the advertising of the fact that they
are doing more for the human race
than any other union organization.
