Ind., Feb. 22.—The new International headquarters building of Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Faperhangc-rs of America, located at Lafayette, Ind.. is now open to the public. The new building was designed by the firm of Nicol, Scholer & Hoffman, architects of Lafayette, Ind., and was constructed by A. E. Kemmer, a Lafayette contractor. Work was begun in October, 1920, and It was over a year before any part of the building was ready for occupancy. The union moved into its new home in November, 1921. COVERS 01 BV 115 FEET. The structure is four stories in height and covers a ground space of 61x115 feet. The construction is of reinforced concrete, with the sides and rear of creaiucolored brick. The front combines terra cotta, imitation granite, rusticated and cream coloned for the three upper stories, and is surmounted with a sloping red tile roof, which makes for an exceedingly handsome street appearance. A semicircular window of stained glass, over the entrance, does much to set off the front effect, coupled with the light green shadings of the window sashes. In addition to the vestibule and lobby the first floor includes two large front business rooms, a rest and recreation room for employes, measuring sixty feet long and twenty feet wide; a kitchen, fireproof vault fifty feet long and a furnace room. OFFICERS OF UNION HEADS. The second Boor contains the office of the general president, the executive board room and reception and information room, all of which are to the front of the building. In the rear are business rooms. The Lafayette Business College occupies a part of the third floor, and the remainder of the space is given over to business suites. The union occupies the entire fourth floor, including the offices of the general secretary and treasurer, chief clerk, stenographers’ room, Lookkeepiug department, death claim department and the filing and ledger departments. The mechanical features of the building include modern arrangements in regard to ventilation, sanitation and heating. The officers' rooms are finished in quartered oak, while the other rooms are mahogany finished. Office fixtures throughout are both beautiful and modern. Rugs of exquisite coloring add greatly to the appearance of the executive offices. The Brotherhood of Painters, Decorat- I ors and Paperhatigers of America was or- ] ganized in 1887 and the first headquar- j ters were at Baltimore, where they re- j mained until 1894, when they were transferred to Lafayette.

MINERS’ STAND WILL DEPEND ON OPERATORS (Continued From Page One.) they would, there was one thing he would insist on, namely, the standard of living of the American miner be not lowered. The country doesn't know the facts on what the miner is up against he declared. LEWIS DOESN’T OPPOSE INQUIRY. He said he would not be averse to a scientific investigation of the entire coal situation by an unbiased committee representing the miners, operators and the public. He was opposed, however, to a “political congressional investigation.” The big trouble, he said, is there are too many mines in the country; the mines are over-capitalized and owners demand a return on their investment. He said the potential capacity of the mines of the country is 800,000,000 tons per annum, yet in 1921 all the coal the country could absorb was 407,000,000 tons, j That is why, he said, there are many idle mines and miners. The annuAl pay of the men, he aaserted, is startlingly small. Regarding the proposed alliance with the railroad men, Lewis was Inclined to i await developments. He had been, in ! fact, waiting more than twenty-four hours without being able to do more than i confer informally with the railroad lead era who were more interested in another conference in the city. None of the chief executives of the “big four” brotherhoods was here to meet Lewis. They were represented by under assistants. It was strongly indicated the railroad unions would not join in any sympathetic strike action with the miners. Xhe probable result of the conference with Lewis was expected to be the passage of resolutions of support of the alms of the two organizations, with the appointment of a committee to go into the details. INDIANA OPERATORS MAY DECLINE TERRE HAUTE, Ind.. Feb. 22—Refusal of Indiana coal operators to confer with the miners, on the ground that a conference would be useless with Ohio ] and other operators holding out, was forecast as the owners went into session this afternoon to consider John L. Lewis’s invistlgation for such a parley. WHITE HOUSE KEEPS WATCH Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—While not anticipating intervention in the controversy between miners and operators iu the coal industry. President Harding was said at the White House to favor every effort possible through the Departments of Commerce and Labor to avert a tieup. In keeping with the policy of the Ad ministration, the views of officials In any detail were generally withheld. The position of officials in all agencies concerned was plainly one of watchful waiting. For the present there appeared no other course open for them. The chief interest was centered on the renewal by John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America, of the invitation to the operators in the central competitive field to meet in Cleveland, March 2, for a discussion of the wage agreements which expire at the end of next month. There was a general feeling the action of the operators on this invitation would bring out clearly the lines of the controversy and point the way for action on the part of the Government. In the meantime, the official view was the delicacy of the situation warranted no action, verbal or otherwise. In resposlble official quarters there prevailed the sentiment the present situation was largely the outcome of the conditions arising out of the war. It was said there could be no enduring settlements until the vexations elements arising during the war period could be adjusted. There persisted a view the necessity for far-reaching adjustments, looking to a general stabilization of the coal industry, particularly aa ita operations af-

An international organization of veterans of the world war was hinted by Colonel MacNider as “what may seem only a happy dream, but which promises tremendous success to all th<' world, an international organization of veterans to bind together the great allies of the war in a closer way than can be otherwise accomplished.”

feet the general public, was imperative at this time. The Government may he aatd to he fully prepared to tackle the problem in the event it is forced upon It by the present aituatlon. But it may also be stated to be looking first for some action on the part of miners and operators to meet the problems confronting both groups. Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
