a glowing tribute to the departed mem

their work as leaving lasting and bene-
ficial impression on posterity. He said
in part;
We are assembled IN TINS beautll I'll
city of the dead to pay reverent trib-
ute to the memory OF those who, in their
lifetime. were true, consistent members
OF our organization-men and women
who, by their efforts, have assisted in
making it possible for those remaining
to enjoy the benefits and protection OF
the union.
at is a pleasing thought to know that
in more than 700 cities in the United
States and Canada our brethren are
meeting We are to pay a united trib-
ute to those who have ceased their la
bors and passed on.
The international Typographical Tn
ion has ever been OF a paternal nature.
While collective bargaining and improved
working conditions are still foundation
stones of the union, long ago it inaug-
urated beneficial features that add great
ly to the welfare OF its members and the
solidarity OF the order
To protect our membership in sick
ness and distress we have that noble in r.
stitution at Colorado Spriugs--the Union
Printers Home There, within the in
spring shadow Of the magnificent Rock y
Mountains, aided by the radiant sunshine
and invigorating climate oi this blessed
Colorado, hundreds OF our people have
regained their health and returned 10
their loved ones 10 again take up the
responsibilities OF an active life. We feel
proud OF this Institution, well knowing
As We do, that its bounty is unpurchase-
able and its charity without price"
