1'Tdum's raosl exclusive society af
fuirs soon will resound to the clat
ter or typewriters and adding ma
chines grinding out the business of
a leading trade union.
H was announced here that the
palatial Murdoek home In the
fashionable North Meridian street
district will' become headquarters
of the International Typographical
Villon. April 1. Purchase, of the
home, made famous lorolly by its
occupation at different times by
two of Indiana's richest families,
was effected recently by the union.
: It was sold by heirs of tlio lute
Samuel T. Murdoek. multi-million-aim
Interurbun magnate und manu
facturer. Tho purchase price was not
made public, but it was said the
building could not bo duplicated
on land of such vulue at a total
coal of less than Dtio,000.
Unlit by Frank Van Camp, of
the wealthy cunning Industry fum-
lly, In I an", the homo has since
been Included In nil slKh'sei lng i
tours of Indianapolis us one of
IIih city's most beuullfnl estates.
It is surrounded by landscaped
grounds, comprising four und ran
half acres and Including a sunken
garden. The district In which it
Is located recently was designated
for business purposes by the clly
planning commission.
The building Is of limestone with
mosslvn walls and a wide, utirov-
ered stone veranda In the liallan
'elvle reaches along two sides. The
solid ninhogony woodwork of Ihe
interior was cnrve.l by urtlsis
from Switzerland, Imported by Mr.
Van Camp to do the work to his
liking. The great center hall of
the home will be used by Ihe union
ns its reception room. More than
Vt rooms will bn Included In the
plans for altering tho residence
for business use.
Officials of the union said they
were compelled to seek new quar
ters by tho expansion of tho. or
ganization's business and the high
rental rotes prevailing In tho busi
ness district. Tho new headquar
ters will afford greater room nt
less cost and also offers a sound
Investment they said. Members of
the union executive conncil, who
consummated tho purchase, were:
James M. Lynch, president; J. W.
HaVB, secretary-treasurer; Seth It.
Hrown, first vlco president; Aus
tin Hcwson, second vice-president.
Charles K. Smith and Hugo Miller.
The .Typographical union- Is one
of tho wealthiest trade unlonB and
has about (6.000,000 of Us funds
Invested in bonds. It also has a
13. 600,000 Investment In the Union
rrlntors1 Home at Colorado Springs,
Colo., to which nn extensive addi
tion was nindo last year. (
"It has ever been a policy of tho
Typographical union, to be very
conservative In tho Investment, of
union funds," said Mr. Lynch. "K0r
''that retrsorrtho organization hits
f!Onflnod itself to purchase of gov
ernment and munlcipnl bonds In
the past. In this case, however, it
became necessary to acquire our
own headquarters proporty or suf
fer a loss through exorbitant rent.
We bought nt a bargain and I am
, reliably advised that our nev in
vestment will prove one of 'the
most profitable we have over had.
The .Investment can be reduced to
n comparatively smnll sum at any
time by sale of surplus land."
-Hesldes Its trade regulntlon ac
tivities and tho Union rrlntors'

age pension system, tnortunry bene

tice education, all of which are
administered nt hendquortors.

10 CLIMBING
LONDON (AP) The most ob
vious difficulty which had to be
encountered in the attempted as
cent of Alount Kverest was that
of breathing, according to Major
K. W. G. Hingston, who accom
panied the last Mt. Kvetejt expedi
tion as medical officer.
In a recent lecture before the
Itoyal Geographical Society, the
major said the difficulties: of the
ascent were enormously increased
by the slightest exertion. . Somer
vell, one of the climbers, made a
record of his breathing (it 27,000
feet, at which altitude he had to
have seven, eight and ten complete
respirations for every single step
forward. Kven at that slow rate of
progress he had to rest for a min
ute or two every 20 or H0 yards.
At 28.000 feet Norton, another
climber, in an hour's climb ascend
ed only Mi feet. This was thiM'.lgh-
point reached without tlio aid of
oxygen. The climbers wero sur
prised that they could even make
such strenuous efforts, and Hlill
more that they could remain In
comparative comfort when they
sal down to rest. The strain at
that altitude was immense. .-
