They shall receive ade quate compensation for their services ; but no person shall be employed who shall not be of tried skill in his or her proper department, of established moral charac- ter, and in all cases persons shall be chosen on account of their merits and not through intrigue or favor: Pro- vided , however , Nothing herein shall prevent any inmate THE CHILDS-DREXEL HOME. 23 of said home from rendering such gratuitous service as he may be able and willing to render. “ Sixth — As many invalid and aged and infirm mem- bers of said International Typographical Union as the endowment shall be adequate to maintain in said home, shall be introduced into the home as soon as possible, and from time to time as there may be vacancies or as increased ability from income may warrant others shall be introduced. “Seventh — On the application for admission an accu- rate statement shall betaken in a book prepared for the purpose, of the name, birthplace, age, health, condition as to relations, place from which sent, and other partic- ulars useful to be known of each person admitted. “ Eighth — No person shall be admitted as an inmate of said home, except members in good standing of said International Typographical Union of North America, and such eligibility shall be determined by the proper authority of said corporation upon the facts presented in the application for admission: Provided , however , That in case of emergency, the President of the corpor- ation may, on proper showing of urgency, admit an applicant to said home, pending investigation of the eligibility of said applicant to share the bounty of this trust : And provided, further , That the power be and it is hereby reserved to the Board of Trustees of said The Childs-Drexel Home for Union Printers to exclude there- from persons suffering from such diseases as said Board may deem it inexpedient to admit, contemplating the suppression of vice and immorality, the advancement of skill, order and health, and the promotion of indus- try and happiness among and in the craft of printers. “ Ninth — Those persons whose admission application shall first be made shall be first introduced, all other things concurring, and at all future times priority of applications shall entitle the applicant to preference in admission, all other things concurring ; but if there shall be at any time more applicants than vacancies, and the applicants be suffering from different afflic- 2 l INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. tions, or be of different degrees of infirmity, then a preference shall be given (i) to the afflicted as against the infirm; (2) to those of the afflicted to whom the greatest probable good can be done by admission as against those to whom a less degree of good is probable ; and (3) to those of the infirm whose infirmity is greatest. I11 all things it shall be the duty of said trustee, its officers and servants in the administration of the affairs of this trust to contemplate doing the greatest good with the resources at hand to the end that the welfare of this tru.st shall be conserved, and that the home shall become and be an example worthy of emulation on the behalf of other crafts and orders. “ Tenth — The persons admitted into said home shall be there fed with plain but wholesome food, clothed with plain but decent apparel (no distinctive dress ever to be worn) and lodged in a plain but safe man- ner ; due regard shall be paid, to their health, comfort and happiness, and to this end their persons, clothes and apartments shall be kept clean, and they shall hive suitable and rational exercise and recreation. And as to the character of this exercise and recreation there shall be no restriction, except that it shall be taken at timely hours, and shall be moral and temper- ate in all its respects. In this behalf much may be suggested to the Board of Trustees of said corporation by the topography and character of the grounds of the institution, and it is recommended without being made a duty of said board, that landscape gardening, or some similar vocation, be undertaken on said grounds as a source of exercise and recreation to the persons domi- ciled at said home. But no task or duty shall ever be imposed under the guise of exercise or recreation 011 any inmate of said home, nor shall any inmate, officer or servant of said home be permitted to engage in any money-making scheme or act in connection with the property of said home : Provided , however , Nothing herein shall be construed as a restriction upon the clause of lease or sale hereinafter contained. THE CHILDS-DREXEL HOME. 25 “ Eleventh — No charge, tax, fee or assessment shall ever be made, levied or collected from any person dom- iciled at said home. Its bounty shall be unpurchasable ; its charity shall be given without price : Provided , how- ever , That nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit any person from making to said home an absolute and unqualified donation. “ Twelfth — No duty shall be required of any inmate of said home except the duty of good behavior and com- pliance with such rules for the discipline and adminis- tration of said home as the Board of Trustees of said corporation, in their wisdom, and contemplating the purposes of this trust, may adopt. “ Thirteenth — Should it unfortunately happen that any person admitted to said home shall, from malconduct, have become unfit longer to remain, and mild means of reformation prove futile, such person shall be expelled therefrom. “ Fourteenth — The death of any inmate of said home shall forthwith, upon its occurrence, be communicated by telegraph to the President of said International Typographical Union, and the remains of the deceased shall, for a proper length of time, be held waiting the order of said President. But if no response be had within a proper time from said President, then the remains shall be interred in a part of the grounds of said home which shall have been set apart for that purpose. In the burial of its unclaimed dead, the home shall provide a plain but neat robe and other essential garments, and a plain but neat casket, with such auxil- iaries as may be requisite. I^ach grave shall be appro- priately marked with a plain marble headstone, bear- ing the name of the deceased. The date of each death, the cause thereof, the duration of illness, the time given for answer from the notice of death sent to the Presi- dent of said International Typographical Union, the place of burial, the cost of burial, and other particulars useful to be known shall be recorded in a book kept for that purpose : Provided, however , That should the Board 26 international typographical union. of Trustees of said corporation, or the civil authorities having jurisdiction thereof, deem it not advisable to set apart any portion of the grounds of said home for ceme- tery purposes, or if after such cemetery has been estab- lished, either said board or said civil authorities shall deem it expedient to abate such cemetery, said Board of Trustees may, out of the funds of this trust remaining unexpended, procure other suitable place of burial, and in so doing extravagance shall be avoided, to the end that the greatest possible amount of the funds of this trust shall be preserved for the care of the living. “ Fifteenth — If at any time the Board of Trustees of said The Childs-Drexel Home for Union Printers find it to be impracticable and inconsistent with the objects and purposes of this trust to maintain as a part of the grounds of said home so large a tract of land as that hereinbefore described, then they may lease or sell and dispose of any part of said land not exceeding sixty acres, as they may deem expedient: Provided , ahvays , That the rents, issues and profits of any lease, sale or disposition of property so made shall be forthwith and wholly turned over to the Treasurer of said The Childs- Drexel Home for Union Printers, to be applied to the same uses and purposes as are herein declared of and concerning said trust generally. If the sale of said sixty acres, hereinbefore mentioned, shall have been made, and thereafter it shall be by said Board of Trus- tees found impracticable, on account of any particular circumstances of the location of said home, or the fail- ure of endowment, or other sufficient reason, longer to maintain said home, then said Board of Trustees may sell and dispose of the remainder of said land, and the building and structures thereon, as they may deem ex- pedient: Provided , always , That the issues and profits of such second sale or disposition of property so made shall be forthwith and wholly turned over and surrend- ered to the Treasurer of said International Typograph- ical Union to be thereafter used as said union may direct. Any deed made by said Board of Trustees pursuant of THE CHILDS-DREXEL HOME. 27 the authority herein conferred, shall contain a covenant of general warranty. “ Sixteenth — None of the moneys, principal, interest or dividends, and none of the property of said trust or the rents, issues, or profits thereot, or acquired or arising by virtue of or incident to said trust or the administra- tion thereof, shall ever be applied to any other purpose or purposes whatever than those herein mentioned and appointed. “ Seventeenth — Separate accounts, distinct from the- other accounts of the corporation, shall be kept by said corporation concerning the said trust, home and funds', and of the investment and application thereof, and a separate account or accounts be kept in bank not blended with any other account, so that it may at all times ap- pear on examination that the objects of this trust have been and are being fully complied with. And the said corporation shall render a detailed account annually to the said International Typographical Union at the com- mencement of its convention concerning the said trust, home and funds, and shall submit all their books, papers and accounts touching the same to a committee of said International Typographical Union for examination when the same shall be required. '‘'‘Eighteenth — It shall be the duty of said Trustees to defend the title at law in case of any suit brought re- specting the title to the real estate hereinbefore de- scribed; give notice, if it maybe useful or practicable, of any such suit to the said International Typographical Union, or its proper officers keep the trust property in- sured in good companies, using trust funds therefor ; pay out of the funds provided all taxes, charges and assessments ; afford accurate information to said Inter- national Typographical Union of the condition and dis- position of the trust property; if not possessed of all proper information to seek for and, if practicable, obtain it; manage the home and care for the inmates thereof according to the intent and general design of this trust, and contemplating the purposes (i) for which said 28 INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHICAL UNION. home was established and endowed, and (2) consider ing the mutuality of purpose which exists* in the pur- poses of said The Childs-Drexel Home for Union Print- ers and said International Typographical Union, to-wit: That each contemplates the suppression of vice and im- morality, the advancement of skill, order and health, and the promotion of industry and happiness among and in the craft of printers. “To all of which objects the said parties of the first part grant, convey and confirm the said property as aforesaid, but if the said party of the second part shall knowingly and willfully violate any of said conditions, then and thereupon the said International Typograph- ical Union, by its officers or agents by it in convention authorized and appointed so to do, shall have the right to enter upon said land and take possession as the abso- lute and unconditional owner thereof in fee simple. “And the said parties of the first part for themselves, their heirs, executors and administrators, do covenant, grant, bargain and agree to, and with the said party of the second part, its successors and assigns, that at the time of the ensealing and delivery of these presents, they are well seized of the premises above conveyed as of good, sure, perfect, absolute and indefeasible estate of inheritance in law, in fee simple, and have good right, full power and lawful authority to grant, bargain, sell and convey the same in manner and form aforesaid, and that the same is free and clear from all former and other grants, bargains, sales, liens, taxes, assess- ments and incumbrances of whatever kind and nature soever, and the above bargained premises in the quiet and peacable possession of the said party of the second part as trustee, its successors and assigns against all and every person or persons lawfully claiming or to claim the whole or any part thereof, the said parties of the first part shall and will warrant and forever defend. “ In witness whereof, the said Edward T.
