JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES IN THE MOTION-PICTUEE
INDUSTRY
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1947
House of Representatives, Special Subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor,
Los Angeles^ Calif.
The subcommittee met at 9 a. m., in room o2i, United States Post Office Building and Courthouse, Hon. Carroll D. Kearns (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding.
Mr. Kearns. The hearing will come to order.
]Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, on yesterday a proposed stipulation was offered to Mr. Cobb by Mr. Price. I would like for Mr. Price to take the witness stand at this time.
TESTIMONY OF PEERY PRICE— Recalled
Mr. McCann. I am striking out of the stipulation the word "stipulation."
Mr. Kearns. You have been sworn, Mr. Price %
Mr. Price. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCann. And striking out "It is hereby stipulated as follows." I am going to ask Mr. Price, who has already been sworn, to read that statement into the record, because I believe that it may eliminate a great deal of further testimony on the particular subject, and save Mr. Cobb from putting on witnesses to establish facts which are admitted therein. Will you proceed, Mr. Price ?
Mr. Price (reading) :
