 OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct g. (By Associated Press.)-Gov. J. c. Walton tonight offered to resign to prove his good faith in his fight against the Ku Klux Klan in Okla homa if the legislature at it's forth coming special session will enact an anti-klan law which he will submit to the lawmakers.

American Federation Is En- phatlcalIy On Record Against Launching Into Political Field In Separate Party FEDERATION TO REMAIN AN INDEPENDENT FACTOR Matthew WolI Says Labor Should Rather Depend On Trade Union Movement And Remain Out Of Politics

PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 9.-(By Az sociated Press )-The American Fed eratfon of Labor went on record en- phatically today against launching into the political field, through the formation of the separate labor party.
 The convention here by vote of 25,066 yes, as against 1885 no. G,61S not voting), approved a re- port of the resolutions committee, which recommended rejection of four resolutions, so closing participating in politics as an organized inde- pendent party.
 Action on the political resolutions followed the most spirited debate that of political activity by organized labor presented their pleas and were answered by an officer of the federal tion and delegates on the floor.
 A o o
 WoI1 Leads Fight.
 Matthew Woll, a vice president of the federation and secretary of the resolutions committee. pleaded for re- jection of the political resolutions, arguing that labor should not place it's destiny In the hands of a political party, but should rather depend upon the stability of the trade union move ment. He feared that introduction of political questions in labors realm would destroy the economic power of organized labor. D. A. McVey of the Chicago Federation of Labor, who introduced one of the political resolutions. declared that he wished to say in defense of himself that he and his associates were not com munists. He said the only way labor could accomplish anything permanent would be through 1olitical action.

GE ERMANy WANTS \ CONF FERE NCE ON SITUATION IN RUHR
France Hasn't Received Note Which Seeks Revival Eco-
 homie Life In The Ruhr

PARIS, Oct 9.-(By Associated Press.)-The French government thus far is unaware, officially, of the com munication which the German rep 'resentatives in Brussels and Paris arc reported to lave been instructed to make, giving notice to the allies that the German government IS ready for negotiations with the ob- 'jeet of bringing about an early re- vival of the economic life of the Ruhr
 The charge daffaires in Brussels is understood to have delivered his message to the Belgian government, and the absence of Premier Poincare from Paris is thought to account for the failure of asimilar move as here It was stated by a foreign office off cial tonight, however, that France and Belgium will adhere to the policy they long ago decided upon, that Is that they will not send delegates 10 the Ruhr. to meet representatives Of the German government but will con- tinue their negotiations direct with the Ruhr interests and will wait for the action of the inter- allied repara- tion commission on any proposition Berlin has to offer.
 The foreign office has been expect ing to hear from the German gov ernment, but anticipated that the communication would refer to the separations question as a whole, in stead of being confined to the eco homie activities in the Ruhr. This question is regarded at the Quai D'Orsay as being between the French and Belgian governments on the one hand and the industrial and labor ing interests in the occupied legion on the other, and intervention by the Berlin government is looked upon as necessary with respect to the purely interior phases of the problem.
 French And Beigians Tn Accord.
 The French and Belgian govern ments, it was said at the foreign office tonight, are entirely in accord on this point, and any propositions from Berlin will be handed over to the reparation commission for con- sideration.
 The German government long pre- tended that the passive resistance in the Ruhr was spontaneous, it was said, hence it was only natural that questions concerning cessation of +he resistance and the resumption of activ- 1ties as they existed when the allies orders were first issued to the coal syndicate and other interests should be treated by the allies with the di- rectly involved parties.
 In line with this policy was the agreement signed by the occupation authorities with the Phoenix company and the Rhelnische Stahlwerke, two of the most important concerns in the Ruhr valley, whereby the Ger man companies agree to pay the coal tax que since the occupation began ana immediately resume deliveries or coal on the reparation account The mining groups agree further to pay the German government the three months coal tax, which re- mained In arrears when the occupa- tion began.
 Along with the news of the sigma ture to this agreement, which is re- garded as an important step toward making the Ruhr occupation produc- tive, came the information that 20 other German concerns had applied to the allied authorities for export
