AFL THROWS BROWNE OUT
 BY BIG VOTE

SEATTLE, Oct. 16-The Amer ican Federation of Labor headed into the final hours of it's sixty first annual convention today, still buzzing over the overwhelming vote by which George Browne late yes- terday was denied reelection to his post of eleventh A.FL. Vice President and Executive Council member.
 Browne is on trial in New York with Willie Bioff, West Coast theat- rical labor leader. on charges of extorting $55o.0O0 from motion picture companies in violation of the -Racketeering Act.
 Browne is president of the Inter national Alliance of Theatrical and Stage employees.
 Convention veterans said that the 37.944 to 421 vote by which Edward Fibre of Buffalo, N. Y defeated Browne for the vice presidency was one of the most-sided decisions ever rendered in an A. F. L. cleo ton
 Browne's nomination, rather than. his defeat. came as surprise to the delegates after they earlier in the day had adopted strongly worded anti-racketeering resolution.
 Fibre is president of the Hotel x Restaurant Employees Union.
 William Green. long time leader of the federation, was reelected yesterday afternoon.

NEW YORK, Oct. Financial and commodity markets became unsettled early this afternoon at the news that President Roosevelt had cancelled his afternoon ses- sion of the Cabinet and had called in his military advisers instead.
 Whether this step was taken be- cause of developments in the Far East or Nazi successes in Russia is not clear but Wall Street is inclined to the opinion the Far Eastern outlook has taken on a most serious aspect and has sud- denly become worse owing to the resignation of the Japanese Cab inet.

ularly. We gain much of our guidance
in buying policy from these people who
thus cooperate. The buster the bust
ness man, the more valuable his COM
ments, ordinarily.
1t is true that this investor made
much of his money on royalties which
were rather wild CANDLES where there
was not much reasoning to give guild
ance. That was in the early days of
Kelvin field when one mans guess was
about as good as anothers. The wealth
of information we had at hand was not
fully understood or appreciated, thus
every royalty investment was more or
less a "shot in the dark.
History has taught us much. We
profited in Kelvin field by our Cat Creek
field experience. Then we profited even
more in Cut Bank by our Kelvin field
experience. While our members have
received far more cash returns from
their Kelvin investments, it must be re-
called that Kelvin has been producing
for 20 years and Cut Bank was dis
covered only 10 years ago. Kelvin field
has produced $47, 139,455 in those 20
years. Royalty owners have received
$5,767, 432 of that total
Cut Bank field has in 10 years pro-
duced SIS, l48,264 of which $3,156,033
has been paid to royalty owners
Pondera oil field has in IS years pro-
duced $6,825, 107 worth of oil of which
$853,138 has been paid to royalty
owners.
These figures contrast with the total
of $l07, 556,347 worth of oil (without
including gas) produced in Montana
oil fields of which S134444 SAB has
been paid to royalty owners.
OF this total more than three
quarters of a million dollars $780, $40
was paid to royalty owners during
the year 1910, as evidence that the
amount of royalty earnings is IN
CREASING rather than growing less.
The AVERAGE dividends of royalty
owners in Montana is around $672,227
for each of the 20 years we have had
commercial oil production.
At the rate Cut Bank is producing,
it will exceed the total production of
Kelvin field and the royalty earnings
will accordingly be greater. Thus mem
D6TS WHO nave DCGu COilSlSlSHliy Du
ing royalty since 1881 will find them
selves as successful as many of those
who started buying royalties in 1921.
The greatest fortunes are made by
those who LOOK AHEAD. 1t takes
sound reasoning - not gambling - to
make money. Sound reasoning must be
based on ALL the available facts, even
if it takes an hour to read them. What
would be the harm if man had to
read for FOUR hours if he could then
conclude on the investment of 500
which might bring him $1,000?
We devote great deal of study to
such developments as the high gravity
pool on the rimrock northwest of
Kelvin. There we saw a THEORY
tested out The general acceptance was
that there could be no production be
yond the "rimrock" We even thought
that a well CLOSE to the rimrock
would probably fail to get oil. But that
was based on an accepted superstition
(for lack of a better world and not
on fact The rimrock actually exposed
