Hays as president and with headquarters at 469 Fifth Avenue, New York, continued throughout 1924 its constructive activities and still further increased its membership. The organization, which came into existence with nine member companies in March, 1922. now includes the twenty-three most important producers and distributors in the industry. The membership at the beginning of 1925 was as follows: Bray Productions, Inc. ; Buster Keaton Productions; Christie Film Company; Distinctive Pictures Corp. ; Eastman Kodak Company ; Educational Film Exchanges, Inc. ; Famous PlayersLasky Corp. ; First National Pictures, Inc. ; Fox Film Corp.; D. W. Griffith, Inc.; Inspiration Pictures. Inc. ; Kinema Corp. ; Kinogram Publishing Corp. ; Metro-Goldwyn Distributing Corp. ; Principal Pictures Corp.; Producers Distributing Corp.; Ritz-Carlton Pictures, Inc.; Hal E. Roach Stu dios; Jos. M. Schenck Productions, Inc.; Talmadge Producing Corp. ; Universal Pictures Corp. ; Vitagraph, Inc. ; Warner Brothers. One of the most important efforts of the Hays organization affecting exhibitor interests as well as those of the producers and distributors was the continuance and extension of arbitration instead of litigation in the settlement of business differences. At the end of the first year of this plan's operation, more than 6.000 cases had been heard and satisfactorily decided. Only two cases were carried forward from the Arbitration Boards to the Courts of law. It was conservatively esti mated that $1,500,000 was saved during that fiscal year (ending early in the summer) in legal fees and costs. 704
