Most opposition came from one of the bureaucrats by the name of Frank Janda, who was a State Organizer for the A. F. of L., and at one time relief administrator. This same fellow once had a worker arrested for fighting against farced labor. A motion was made to table Green’s letter. An amendment followed the motion to have a trial period of six months. The first vote was 11 to 11, the second 10 to 10, and the third was 15 to 11 in favor of the amendment.
