Goodwin In calling for favorable &C.
, ton on the resolution. Later, afte,
the vote was cast, and an attempt wa:
made to reconsider the action, Smith
announced that he was Through
with any bill or resolutions dealing
with the Fargo strike-if there are
any more OF them I will vote no on
.. them"
Obviously angered by the refusal Of
his followers to give him q passing
majority, Goodwin In q voice choked
with emotion, declared, II take 1t as
q defeat and one more persecution Of
the helpless people Of the state"
Smith asked that a previous re-
solution Of the house passed January
81, in which officials OF Cas-
county were "condemned'' for their
activity In the strike, be expunged
from the permanent record Of the
house.
| Smiths Move Defeated
He asked the previous action be
stricken lin view Of the fact the house
has refused to investigate the facts"
Smiths motion also was voted
down by q vote Of 80 to "a with two
not voting.
Following the vote on the two pro-
posals, Goodwin served notice on the
house that tomorrow will have one
more opportunity to bring this up.
II this vote stands 1t will make more
radicals than the 10 leading Com.
munist organizers in the country"
Representative Nels p. Noben at
tempted to reconsider the action, but
was ruled out Of order because he had
not voted on the prevailing side.
WE'LL don't care what we do"
he shouted, "but we're going to get
justice for those people down there"
"Well-why didn't you give 1t to
them, them" Smith shouted back.
Twichell Voices Opposition
L. L. Twichell Of Cass opposed pass
age Of the resolution on the grounds
that 1t called for an expenditure Of
money which could only be made by
concurrent action Of the house and
senate, he claimed.
Smith explained his support OF the
bill declaring he was mot interested
In the legal question Of where the
money Is coming from but In the good
name Of the city I come from and
OF the facts and circumstances sur
rounding this strike"
The resolution would have appoint
ed q committee Of five members Of
the house to investigate the strike to
determine whether laws governing
filing Of informations should be
changed. The committee would have
investigated and returned its report
during the present legislative ses-
sion."
With the house quieted, members
moved forward on consideration Of
House Bill 338-creating q state well
fare board which, II the measure
IS passed by the senate and signed by
the governor, will be empowered to
administer all monies, federal and
state, for relief purposes.
Match Federal Funds
Twichell said the measure carried
the support Of the governor and Of
the federal government, and was de-
signed to handle 100000 which
would come from the proposed sales
tax for relief purposes. The money
would match partially funds to be
allocated the state by the federal
government.
This Is to show the government
our good faith" said Twichell. I'VE
expect by this set-up to get what We
want from the federal government"
Goodwin explained that III we do
hot pass this bill, We will remain q !
federal set-up. This brings the ad-
miniStration Of funds into the hands |
OF North Dakota, on approximately |
the same basis as before the federal |
government took 1t over"
The house passed the measure and
sent 1t to the senate by vote of IS |

ried an emergency clause which will |
put it in effect Immediately upon |
passage and signing by the governor. |

Goodwin told the house that the |
legal moratorium proposal had the |
governors approval in order to legally |
relieve him OF certain duties now be- |
ing performed by him under the pro-
claimed moratorium" He said the |
bill was patterned after the Minne- |
