that it will no longer be "the goat" for
those who seek to make this union the
door to enter the Union Printers Home,
or gain support of the local after having
failed to join the union in cities where
formerly employed for years. Two ap-
plicants were up for consideration. both
formerly employed for many years in
New York city, where they had had
every opportunity to Join. Heretofore
No. 40 has been exceedingly lenient with
this class of applicants, through SYM
pathy. In the two cases referred to, one
had worked in a New York scab printery
at long hours and short wages until he
lost his health and came to Colorado.
The other had been employed in a no.
torious New York non-union shop for
many years and never thought of the
union until his son contracted disease
and trip TO Colorado was deemed nee
essary. After hearing their statements
the committee on applications. pursuing
the usual sympathetic course, recon-
mended both for admission. However,
when il came up to the membership, the
determination to establish new prece-
dent was evident. Both applications
were rejected almost unanimously. 1t
was deemed time to put non-union print
ers OF the country on notice that the
benefits created by members by long
years OF paying dues and making sacri-
fices shall be reserved for those who
have displayed a disposition to cooper
ate in building up such institutions as
the Home. the old age pension, the NOR
tuary of the international and sick bene-
fits maintained by the local unions.
