where I am now sitting. I hope you will uphold the dignity of Congress and see that that is fulfilled before you adjourn.
Mr. Kearns. I am making every effort possible to have that done.
Mr, Skelton. Thank you.
Mr, McCann, Mr, Tinsdale. I believe he was the other man who was referred to. Is he present ?
(No response.)
Air. Kearns. Is that Mr. Tinsdale — is that the right name, Mr. Sorrell?

TESTIMONY OF FELIX H. KNIGHT AND WILLIAM C. DOHERTY—
Recalled
Mr. McCann. I have a number of questions which have been submitted to be asked of you gentlemen.
Yesterday we asked the question, Mr. Knight, with respect to the grip and carpenter contract. As I recall the answer at that time, it was stated that the grip and carpenter contract was taken into consideration and was submitted by the carpenters to your committee. Do you recall that testimony ?

Mr. McCann. Yesterday you stated your understanding of a grip was just a laborer who carried material back and forth from the mill to the stage and vice versa, Mr. Doherty. I would like to direct your attention to that contract, and ask you if that contract does not provide that the grips shall do set erection,
