UNION PRINTERS HOME.
Most Admirable institution Of It's Kind
In This Country

1t is announced that the Interna-
ionaI Typographical union has adopted
an amendment to the laws of the union
increasing the per capita tax ON each
member cents a month. This viii
make a substantial increase In the
funds Of the organization and enable
it to build an addition Of forty rooms
to its great home for sick and disabled
printers at Colorado Springs.
The Union Printers home is the
most admirable of all the private elee-
mosynary institutions maintained in
the United States. 1t is founded upon
correct principles Of benevolence, and
all the evidence at hand would seem TO
indicate that its management has con
Quoted it in accordance with these
principles with scrupulous care. The
home now gives refuge to a hundred
tuberculous patients, among others,
and its annual outlay for that purpose
exceeds the expenditures OF some OF
our leading states to that end.
In other respects the International
Typographical union is developing
traits which are urging it into first
place among model trade organizations.
From one of the most difficult for the
employing class to maintain amicable
relations with it has become one of the
most reasonable In its view OF the
rights Of employer and employed. Wise
management of its affairs has had
much to do with this condition, and the
result of this attitude is that the or
ganization is in more fourshing con-
dition than at any time in its history
