After Dr. Jackson and the
Imperial Divan appeared before
the conference and stated their
position on the issues in quest¬
ion, the grand majors an¬
nounced their intentions.
The following state leaders
said they had issued or intend-

Indiana and Michigan an¬
nounced they had not and do
not intend to issue an edict.
Eleven states and the District
of Columbia could not make up
their minds. They said they
would take the issue under ad- 1
visement and would make a 1
decision at a later date. These

Many grand masters seemed
reluctant to break
