This institution is a model in its way and hundreds of professional men and women engaged in similar work visit it every year to study the methods employed. Tuberculosis has been generally rec. ognized as an occupational disease with those engaged in sedentary indoor work, and men and women of the printing trades have been victims of this scourge to a great degree. At Colorado Springs the I. T. U. main- tains a sanatorium for the treatment of tuberculosis and annually restores to the industry a long list of members who would otherwise pass away because of the absence of proper treatment. The Union Printers Home had its inception in a fund of $10,000, donated by Messrs. Childs and Drexel, of Philadelphia, and since 1890 has been supported and built up by monthly contributions from each member of the union. At first this was 5 cents per month, but the growth of the organization and the expansion of the project from a home for superannuated members to a sanatorium, where treatment for all curable diseases is given, have made necessary increases from time to time until now the monthly contribution of each member of the union is 30 cents. Since May 1, 1890, the union has expended for maintenance and buildings at the Colorado Springs institution $2,396,716.10. The present revenue is in excess of $250,000 per annum. The expenditures for the years ended May 31, 1921, for maintenance and buildings was $191,887.97. With ample funds in sight each year we will see the home facilities greatly improved and the work of rehabilitation and care of our members brought to perfection. For the last year the average number of residents at the home has been about 200. The average amount expended was $885.67 per resident for the year. This includes not only maintenance, but improvements and all expenditures in conection with the institution. It is of more interest, however, to quirements for admission. All members of the International Typographical Union who may be incapacitated from earning a living either by reason of old age or illness are eligible for admission, with certain restrictions as to character of disease and length of membership. Superannuated members must have a continuous membership of at least five years prior to admission, while for those seeking admission to the sanatorium two years is sufficient. A member desiring to be admitted to the Home makes application through his local union, and if reports are satisfactory he is ordered to report at the Home, the expense of transportation being defrayed by his local union. After admittance the member is under no further expense. His food, clothing and medical attention are provided by the institutios. In case of operations specialists are provided, and in most instances the patient is cared for in an outside hospital. An efficient corps of nurses and a resident physician are maintained at all times. The cost of dentistry, care of the eyes, glasses, etc., are all met by the Home. Cash pensions of 50 cents per week are also paid and a number of residents are employed part time and earn added amounts. A large library, billiard room and barber shop are maintained and various amusements in the way of picture show's, concerts and picnics are pro- vided. When a member desires to vacate and return home his transportation expenses are paid by the Home. Last year this item alone amounted to In case of death interment $4,000. may be in the beautiful home plot in Evergreen cemetery, or such other disposition may be made as the deceased or relatives may desire. A problem in connection with the work of the Union Printers Home remains to be solved. In the treatment of curable diseases, such as tuberculosis, much depends on when the patient is taken in hand. Delay is fatal. Members with family responsibilities and without the resources to carry them during the necessary residence at the Home continue at work until a cure is impossible. When the union has w'orked out a plan that will extend assistance which will enable members to take advaniage of the |
