62 MOTION PICTURE COMMISSION. Dr. Carter. No, sir. Mr. Fess. How do you get at the amount produced in this country you say constitutes the 2 per cent? That is, how do you know how many producers there are in the country that do not send their stuff to you? Dr. Carter. Well, you know how figures will vary one way or the other; and you know how careful we have to be. In the first place, we are in the business and we get the facts. We get reports from the gi-eat companies, and they being rivals of the smaller companies are able to tell us how many there are in the independent business. Mr. Fess- And it is about 2 per cent? Dr. Carter. Yes, sir; perhaps 2 per cent or perhaps 5 per cent; in the neighborhood of 2 per cent. Mr. A. Brylawski. The independents are being censored just as much as the others. Dr. Carter. Not by our board. Mr. Brylawski. Well, the Universals and the Mutuals are being censored at the present time ? Dr. Carter. Well, yes; they are in part, but nevertheless they are not under this same obligation. The Chairman. Doctor, we have arranged for another hearing on next Friday evening at 8 o'clock, and we would be glad to have you finish your remarks at that time. (Thereupon the committee adjourned until Friday, May 8, 1914, at 8 o'clock p. In.)
