Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, the third question has been with- drawn by Mr. Bodle, and that completes his questions. Mr. Cobb. I have one other question. Mr. McCann. Two other qiiestions by Mr. Cobb. Were you present at the labor committee meeting of September 16, 1946? Mr. Freeman. Mr. I^IcCann. I told you a little while ago I cannot remember dates. If you have the minutes which show that I was there then I was there. Mr. McCann. The minutes show you were present. Mr. Freeman. Then I was. You and I disagree. I call them notes and you call them minutes. Mr. McCann. Was it then agreed as stated in the minutes, to say to the State unemployment authorities that the employees left their work on account of a trade dispute ? Mr. Freeman. I do not recall. Mr. McCann. Do you recall that being discussed ? Mr. Freeman. I do not, sir. Mr. McCann. You have no independent recollection at all of the action taken by the labor committee with respect to unemployment insurance? Mr. Freeman. I do not, Mr. McCann. Mr. McCann. There is no use in asking your last question, then Mr. Cobb. That is all, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Kearns. Mr. Freeman, for your benefit, when you refer to the notes, Mr. Benjamin, one of the attorneys for the industry, on the witness stand called them minutes. I recall very plainly telling him for the record we would rather refer to them as notes also. That is all, sir. Mr. Freeman. Will you want me here? Mr. Kearns. As long as you leave Mr. Boren here. Mr. Freeman. He will be here, sir. Mr. Kearns. Mr. Michel. (Mr. Michel was duly sworn as a witness.) TESTIMONY OF WILLIAM C.
