ideas of the clubs in TWO phrases: 10
give all the help necessary in time OF
need. and 10 keep alive respect for law
and order. and keep up interest in mu-
sic. art and home work. She advo-
Gated the cultivation Of all vacant lots
as an aid to- the nation. and closed
with plea for clubs to extend all the
aid possible in all kinds Of public and
civic work.
Mrs. John r. Elson and Mrs E E
Worthen rendered a duet that was

By JAMES M. LYNCH
Former President international Typographical Union.

the International Typographical I'm
ion. 1t has lived for more than sixty
years and it now has more than sixty
five thousand members. Look up its
history some day and you win be
astonished and edited. Well, some
twenty-five years ago the members of
this union took stock of the ravages of
disease in its ranks, especially tuber-
culosis, and determined to do some
thing practical to check the enemy.
There may have been a selfish motive
also. for even those who planned might
shortly be the victims. 1t was deter
mined to build home and hospital
where the aged and afflicted could find
haven and cure. Colorado Springs,
high in the mountain country of the
West, was selected ms the site for this
unprecedented trade-union venture,
and they buildcd them n home and with
loving hand and hopeful word and
courageous intention they dedicated it
in the year 1892.
From that initial effort has grown
the great institution of today, and the
pictures will tell you better than can
the printed word all that the union
printers of this North American conti-
ncnt have accomplished at their Union
Printers Home. The early enthusiasts
dreamed no such dream as is repre-
sented by this reality, n home the
equal of any institution in this coun-
try; wonderfully developed. utilitarian
in its appointments, beautiful in its
physical attributes. 1t is fact that
more than two hundred thousand peo-
pie have visited the institution in its
twenty-five years of well-doing, and
these pilgrims, journeying from all
countries and representing all classes
and walks of life, have left their
wreath of tribute and paid their wealth
of compliment to the Union Printers
Home. 1t stands today as the only
institution of its kind in the world and
as monument to it's progenitors and
supporters, the union printers who
make up the International Typograph-
ical Union.
We said we were to tell you some
thing of the victims Of disease, par
ticuiarly of the chosen of that merci-
less monster. Tuberculosis" But
even he is losing his grip. Science and
love are his sworn enemies, and slow
ly, snarlingly, disputing every inch OF
the way, he is retreating before their
mnssed batteries. Come with us nov
to the hospital, the tents and the
pavilion, for here are domiciled the
patients who are making effort nj
recovery from the great white plague
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04

asked that the Home be established
in Austin. In addition to the PROPOSE
tion of Mr. Lambert, four others were
presented. One of the most important
being that of Charles S. Semper, of
Semper, Jefferson County, Colorado,
who proffered the International Typo
graphical Union eighty acres of land,
nine miles north of Denver, for home
site; but the proposition made by Louis
R Enrich, of Colorado Springs, Colo.
was the most popular. On behalf of
the board of trade of that city. Mr..
Enrich offered to deed to the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, eighty
acres of land one mile east of Colorado
Springs, conditioned:
That the International Typograph-
ical Union would commence the erec-
tion of a Home on said land within two
years, to cost not less than $4,000.
and to be completed within one year
from date of commencement.
Mr.. Enrich addressed the conven-
tion at length on the subject of locat-
ing the Home at Colorado Springs. He
directed attention to the fact that the
leading physicians of the country had
agreed in characterizing Colorado
Springs as the most perfect sanato-
rum and health resort in the world
for the cure of all forms of throat and
lung diSeaseS-diseases to which print
ers were especially liable-and urged
that the establishment of such Home
in the highway of transcontinental
travel. would naturally attract the at
tention of many wealthy and charita-
bly-disposed citizens, and prove a
source of strength and influence to the
international Typographical Union.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Ehrich's
remarks n resolution recommending
that committee of three be appoint
ed, consisting of the president, second
vice president and secretary-treasurer,
to arrange the details, to formally ac-
cept the proposition, and to take such
legal steps as may be necessary in
connection herewith" was adopted.
Pursuant to the provisions of this
resolution, the committee proceeded to
carry out its instructions, and on June
%, 1889, an agreement for the trans
fer of the land was entered into be-
tween the committee, as trustees of
the International Typographical Union
and A. A. McGovney and F. l.. Martin,
the latter gentleman representing the
Board of Trade of Colorado Springs.
The question of finally accepting the
proposition was voted upon by the
membership of the International Typo
graphical Union in the fall of 1889
and the action Of the Denver conven-
ton was ratified by a vote Of 4,s2s tc
1852, only about one-third Of the
