Death Benefit Funds Rise From Printers Union Feature
Mortuary benefits within the International Typographical Union show a strong death fund system. The Newton Claypool building in Indianapolis funds $70 for each death of a member, with a possible total around $500 including union support. The burial fund disbursements totaled $443,107 from 1904 to 1907, and the death rate exceeds the average, yet funds aid dependents and prevent public charges. New York printers win a wage increase of $4.4 weekly from May 1, with rule changes. The Mexican branch now includes over 40,000 workers though membership remains American in Mexico. Tin workers see a 4.5 to 5 percent wage rise depending on machine type.
