MOTION^-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 1089 Air. Kearns. Does that conclude your statement ? Mr. ZoRN. It does, sir. Mr. Cobb. Mr. Chairman, may I make a statement? Mr. Kearxs. Just a moment, Mr. Cobb, and then I will give you an opportunity . JNIr. Cobb. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Kearxs. The chairman this morning in his statement used the words "indicates" and he also said its was "probably" a result of collusion between the industry and a laboring union. I want it fully understood that the chairman's mind is perfectly open in this matter. The reason the presidents were invited here was to finish and terminate the testimony in this case. In no way could I draw a conclusion of finality until after I have a complete record here of the testimony. I want it fully understood that in no way am I blaming anyone until I have the final word of testimony which will also include the testimony of Mr. William Hutcheson and also that of Mr. Schenck, although I agree with INIr. Zorn that he has a perfect right to ob- jection to what he reads as he interprets it. However, I want it fully understood that my mind is open, has always been open, and will continue to be open in this whole affair. Mr. ZoRN. I am very happy, Mr. Chairman, to have that state- ment made for the record, because language is sometimes confusing, such as the language which you read this morning. It gave me con- siderable concern. Mr. Kearns. However, you understand, I have the right to judge what testimony has been received up to date. Mr. Cobb. Mr. Cobb. May I make a statement ? Mr. Kearns. If you are sworn, you may make a statement. TESTIMONY OF ZACH LAMAR COBB, ATTORNEY, REPRESENTING CARPENTERS' UNION, LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—Recalled Mr. Cobb. My name is Zacli Lamar Cobb. I am attorney for the locked-out carpenters in Hollywood. My offices are 929 Citizens National Bank, 458 South Spring Street, Los Angeles 13. I wish to make a statement on behalf of the carpenters, that we have come here with a feeling of respect for the Congress of the United States as a great coordinate constitutional branch of the United States Government; that we have no desire to pass judg- ment upon others, but we would like the record to show it is regret- table that people identified with the motion-picture companies should persist, before one congressional committee after another, in chal- lenging the committees of Congress. I wish to further state that the statement of Mr. Kearns, the chairman, was justified and accurate; that Mr. Kearns did no more than in effect extend the motion-picture companies the opportunity to be heard on any facts that they might bring against the record as it stands today. I do not know what the future of this committee may be, but speak- ing in behalf of the law-abiding, self-respecting, locked-out carpenters of Hollywood, I assure the chairman and counsel for the committee
