ot work shall not be considered travel time or work time for any purpose. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to interrupt the player's right to remain or go on salary if the player is otherwise entitled thereto. XXI. Overnight Trip to or From Location: Where an overnight trip to or from location is required, and the same takes at least seven hours to reach and the play is given a berth on a boat or train, the time spent in such traveling to or from such location (whether at the beginning, during or at the end of the engagement) shall not be work time or travel time for any purpose. XXII. Rest Period Re Arrival at Overnight Location After Nine O'Clock P. M.: Where players arrive at an overnight location after 9 :00 o'clock P. M. and do not work that night, the rest period with respect to their first call following such arrival shall be ten hours instead of twelve hours. XXIII. Travel Time of Day Players on Days on Which They Do Not Render Services: (This rule applies only to day players.) If day players are transported to or from location on any day on which they do not render services, their minimum travel pay for the day in which such traveling is commenced shall be as follows : (a) If traveling is commenced before twelve o'clock noon, a full check. (b) If traveling is commenced between twelve o'clock noon and six o'clock P. M., a half check, unless the actual travel time exceeds four hours in which event actual travel time (not exceeding eight hours) shall be paid. (c) If traveling is commenced after six o'clock P. M., actual traveling time (not exceeding eight hours) shall be paid. XXIV. Traveling on Sundays and Certain Holidays: The holidays herein referred to shall be New Year's Day, Decoration Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Chrismas, and are hereinafter referred to as "holidays." Where a day player travels on any Sunday or on any holiday he receives time and one-half for such traveling time. Where a free lance player travels on holidays or on the Sundays immediately preceding or succeeding such holiday in going to location, he receives an additional onesixth of his base weekly rate as compensation for such traveling; but where a free lance player travels on holidays or the Sundays immediately preceding or succeeding such holidays coming from location, he receives merely straight time for the day spent in traveling and no e.xtra compensation. The last preceding sentence only applies on days when the free lance player does no work and if he does work, of course, the rule of paragraph 19 of the free lance contract applies. As a further limitation of the rule for free lance players in going to location, if the trip takes at least four days and the holiday or the Sunday is not the starting date of the trip, then he receives merely straight time and not any additional compensation for such traveling on the holiday or the Sunday. Where a contract player travels on such holidays or the Sundays immediately preceding or succeeding the same, the same rule applies as is set forth for free lance players above, if the contract player does not work on such day. Where a stock player travels on such holidays or on the Sundays immediately preceding or succeeding the same, the same rule applies as is set forth above for free lance players if the stock player does no work on such day. Where a stock player works on any Sunday and travels on the same Sunday, the same rate of compensation of his hours applies to the time he travels as to the time he works, except as herein otherwise provided. XXV. Engagement of Player Out of State: Nothing herein contained shall prevent a Producer from engaging a player outside of California (if such player has not gone out of California for the purpose of evading this rule) to report in California or to report at any location, and in any such case the Producer shall not be required to pay for or provide transportation of such player to the place of reporting, or to pay such player for any time spent in traveling thereto; nor shall the Producer be required to pay for or provide transportation of such player, at the end of the engagement back to the place where such player was engaged, or to pay such player for any time spent in traveling back to the place where such player was engaged ; such player may be dismissed on location. This does not limit the second sentence of I hereof. XXVI. General: Nothing in this subparagraph (m) contained shall affect the day players' or the free lance players' right to continuous employment, or be deemed to interrupt the compensation of stock players, contract players or those playes referred to in paragraph 10 hereof as "multiple picture players" and "limited term players" if and when such compensation is payable pursuant to their respective contracts. Of course, any period during which the player fails or refuses, or is unable because of disability, to render services, and any period during which the player at his own request is excused from rendering ■services, shall not be work time for any purpose. The foregoing provisions of this paragraph 7 shall only apply to day players, the respective classes of players referred to in paragraph 4 hereof, and, with respect only to the computation of the rest period, to contract players while receiving in excess of $500.00 per week but not in excess of $1,000.00 per week. Nothing in this paragraph 7 shall be deemed to break the continuous employment of day and free lance players or derogate from their right to receive the same or take away the right of stock or contract players to receive salary unless they are on lay-off or suspension or unless pursuant to the provisions of their contracts they are otherwise not entitled to receive salary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the question of additional exceptions to and deductions from work time shall be arbitrated by the Standing Committee at any time upon the written request of any Producer or Producers. If the Standing Committee shall be dissolved, any such question, upon the written request of any Producer or Producers, may be arbitrated at any time in like manner as provided in paragraph 13 of the Basic Agreement, but such arbitration may be held whenever the request is made and is not limited to yearly arbitrations. If the question of any additional exception to or deduction from work time be so arbitrated (except any arbitration of any matter pursuant to any other provisions of this agreement as to which arbitration is provided for expressly), the Guild shall have the right, in the same arbitration, to arbitrate any other question with respect to the computation of work time (including those expressly covered by this agreement), but the Guild shall have such right only if it serves upon the Producer or Producers who shall have requested such arbitration, written notice of its election to exercise such right within twenty days days after such request shall have been served on the Guild. If the Ciuild shall elect to exercise such right of arbitration, the Producer or Producers who shall have requested such arbitration shall have the right, in the same arbitration, to arbitrate any question with respect to the computation of work time and, at their election, any other question or questions with respect to hours of labor including, but not limited to, the twelve-hour rest period, overtime and limitations or restrictions of hours of labor. If any such Producer or Producers elect as aforesaid to arbitrate "any other question or questions with respect to hours of labor," the Guild shall have the same right as to such Producer or Producers. Any arbitration as aforesaid shall be only as between and shall only bind the Guild and
