Any theater in Greater New York shall be deemed to be in the classification of those exhibiting pictures first-run, second-run, thirdrun or fourth-run, if the majority of the pictures exhibited by such theater, are pictures exhibited first-run, second-run, third-run or fourth-run.
Any theater in Greater New York shall be deemed to be in the classification of those exhibiting pictures fifth-run, sixth-run or subsequent-run if the majority of the pictures exhibited by such theater are pictures exhibited fifth-run, sixth-run or subsequent-run.
For the purpose of determining the classification in which any theater in Greater New York shall be placed as to admission prices, the highest admission price regularly charged for admissoin to the orchestra section of the theater, shall be deemed to be the admission prices to which the schedule refers.
Provided, however, that if any theater in Greater New York, presents a stage show, in addition to exhibiting motion pictures, seven additional points shall be added to the number of points shown on the above schedule for such theater and the total number of points thus arrived at shall be the basis for determining the aggregate minimum compensation for the motion picture machine operators in such theater.
No employee performing the duties of a motion picture machine operator in any theater in Greater New York shall be permitted to work more than 30 hours per week.
The figures shown are based upon the data regarding run, admission prices, seating capacity and hours of operation which were furnished that committee. Any changes in these

factors would cause a corresponding change in the totals shown in this list.
The admission price factor refers to the highest price regularly charged for admission to the orchestra.
The scales arrived at by application of Schedule "A" are minima and wages in excess of the minimum are adjustable only through collective bargaining.
In case of dispute regarding the application of the schedule to any theater, the case shall be resolved as provided for in Article IV, Division C, Part 1, Section 6.
The following example illustrates the manner in which an exhibitor operating an hypothetical theater in Greater New York arrives at the minimum rate which the above schedule requires shall be paid to the motion picture machine operators in that theater.
A motion picture theater having a seating capacity of 2,281 and showing pictures thirdrun at regular top orchestra admission price of 30 cents would have a rating, as shown on the schedule, of 36 points. Since this theater shows pictures third-run it would fall in Class A and as shown in Schedule "A'' each point for Class A has a value of $.12 and such theater would he required to pa} not less than at the rate of 36 times $.12 or $4.32 per hour for each hour the theater is in operation.
