Frank NJ. Wooden Tuesday pre-
sented to the city auditor PROPOSE
ton whereby the city of. Tulsa may

for the sum Of $4,000, including i'm
provoments. The site Offer ed for
sale by Mr.. Wooden is rs by 80 feet,
the greatest frontage being on Fourth.
Mr., Wooden in presenting his offer
illustrated the advantages of the se-
lection Of this site, and the use Of tho
building now located thereon, which
he said might easily be remodeled
into modern office rooms.
"The building which is two stories
with basement would furnish all the
room necessary for a city hall" Mr..
Wooden declared, land would place
the property almost in the heart Of
the city, yet far enough removed from
the main street to be out of the noise
zone and easily accessible to all who
have business to transact at the city
hall, without passage thru the down.

WHITE RATS Get
SUPPORT OF LABOR
Mountford's Fight for Rec
ognition Results in a
Signal Victory.
Special to Tho World.

special 10 lho word.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 22.-As Il
result of disclosures made on the
floor OF the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, that organi-
cation today flatly refused to grant
n seperate charter to the Actors
Equity association and pledged its en-
thuslaStic support to the White Rats
Actors Union of America.
Harry Mountlord, international ex-
ecutive OF the White Rats, and James
William Fitzpatrick, "big chief" of
union, made a valiant and successful
fight for recognition and 1t was n
signal victory for them. The Equity
association had the privilege of be
ing a branch of the White Rats, but
preferred having their own charter.
Mountford claimed that In reality the
Officers of the Equity were being
backed by the booking trust heads,
who wanted to divide the power of
the White Rats.
The theatrical strike In Oklahoma,
which has been going on for several
months, was the subject of extended
discussion on the floor of the con-
vention. The White Rats are cooper
ating with the union stagehands, mu-
sicians and operators in Oklahoma
City and Tulsa. The strike in that
state has been in charge of Cora
Youngblod Corson, the only woman
chief deputy organizer of the White
Rats union.
Ninety per cent of the vaudeville
actors of the nation are members of
our union" Mountford told the fed
GRAFTON delegates. Your action today
in unanimously endorsing our strike
in Oklahoma means that we have
overcome the last obstacle.l We can
now insist on an equitable contract
from the big booking agencies of this
country and If We do not get it there
will be theatrical strike that will
paralyze the show business of this
country. However, l do not think that
the booking trust wants strike and
now that they have failed to dis
credit US with the American F'eder-
alton of Labor / expect them TO with
draw from the field of acton and give
us the only thing we arc fighting for
"a fair contract"
