MUCH INTEREST IN GOVERNMENT LAND
 SALE IN OKLAHOMA
Exhibit Car Here From Me Alister Showing Products of Countryside Starts
 Next Monday

Much interest has been aroused in Birmingham by 4. T. Beardslee Of Me Alister. Okla, who for the past two or three days has been entertaining many local people in a private agricultural exhibit car on the sidetracks at Rail- road avenue and Twentieth street. MT. Beardslee with the exhibit car Is ad vertising government land sale in Oklahoma which will begin next Mon day. and at which Ss5,000 acres of az rioultural and mineral lands will be sold at prices ranging from ss to ss per acre.
 MT. Beardslee states that the people of Pittshurg county Oklahoma. of which McAlister Is the county seat, arc financing the trip of this exhibit car ever tho country to encourage high class American citizens to become in- terestned in the Pittsburg county lands and purchase them. The car has been on the road since last March under the auspices of the McAlister Real Estate exchange, and is now moving back to- ward it's starting point
 This government land which is to be sold, beginning Monday, MT. McAlister states, is among the best in the coun- try. It was originally set aside by the United States government for tho In dians, he stated yesterday. on account of it's enormous coal and asphalt de- posits. It has now been decided to sell this land at an appraised value of from a to SC per acre, but with the pro Al eral rights remain the property of the Indian nations Other mineral rights, such as oil, gas, granite and many oth- CTS. however. will become the property of the purchaser of the land. Over 60 per cent of the land is now under lease by oil companies and MT. Beardsleo states it is his opinion that oil leases will pay for the land, at the prices il
 s to be sold, within the next couple Of years He explained that no purchaser would be damaged by the Indian re tainer of the coal and asphalt mineral rights, as before any coal or asphalt operator could move on to a mans land and operate he would have to buy the land outright and pay all damages to other parts of land damaged by his op- eratiCns.
 None of the land, he states, is more than six miles from a railroad and the larger part of 1t is about three miles from the railroad. It is to be paid for 25 per cent down to the government and the remainder in two years, and is to be sold at public auction. Crops such as alfalfa-which will yield six cut tings annually-wheat. oats, corn, kaf- fir corn. milo-maze, any fruit grown in the temperate zone and so forth, will thrive The exhibit car is furnished with exhibits of the different agricultural products of the land 'f rfe-

GARMENT WORKERS
 TO SETTLE DISPUTE
No Investigation of Trouble Will Be Made by the American Fedora
 ton of Labor

Philadelphia, November 13.-The United Garment Workers of America must set tie their differences in some other way than through an investigating committee of the American Federation of Labor. That was decided at today's sessions of the federation when a resolution to ap- point a conciliation committee was de- feated.
 The garment organization is divided into administration and anti-administration factions, each with a set of officers. The federation reaffirmed its attitude of re- fusing consideration to workers who se- cede from their organizations and with held recognition of the anti-administra- tion officials. More than 5000 workers in New York. Chicago, Baltimore and Bos- ton are said to be involved in the troubles of the union.
 None of the committees holding hearings on a variety of subjects was ready to report to the convention today, and the defeat of the garment workers resolu- ton was the only business of moment transacted.
 Mother Jones, now S3 years old, ad- dressed the convention on the strikes in West Virginia. Michigan and Colorado.
 So far there has been little talk among the delegates over election Of officers. The socialist delegates who usually op- pose Samuel Gompers for the presidency have not yet made public the name of their candidate. if he has been selected. Many delegates predict that Gompers. will have no serious opposition for reelection.
 The delegates tonight participated in parade in their honor given by the trade unionists of Philadelphia and neighboring towns. There were many thousands in line, including 2000 women workers.
