1204 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. McCann. And you did decide you were going to keep open the studios at this meeting in New York on September 12, 1946, and so advised through your committee the representatives of the labor com- mittee of the studios ? Mr, Perkins. Yes, sir. Mr. McCa.nn. Now, there are some questions Mr. Cobb has sub- mitted, Mr. Chairman, which I will read for the record. You state that your labor policy was set on the west coast. Did your west coast representatives have authority to act for you in the August and September 1916 meetings of the labor committee ? Mr. Perkins. Yes, sir. Mr. McCann. Did and does your company stand back of the action taken by the labor committee in the meetings attended by Mr. Sax or Mr. Freston? Mr. Perkins. I am sure it does. Mr. McCann. As attorney for Warners, are you in favor of an arbi- tration of the Hollywood question ? Mr. Perkins. I think I have already answered that question. Mr. McCann. How would you choose the arbitrator to assure a fair arbitration ? Mr. Perkins. Again I think I have answered that question. Mr. McCann. In other words, you think you do not know enough about it to pass judgment? Mr. Perkins That is right. I would want to go into it with Mr. Freston and Mr. Sax at some lengih. Mr. McCann. I will ask the last question, although your answer will probably be the same. Would you favor arbitration before the United States district court in an action to interpret the contracts, the three^man decision and clari- fication, and determine all questions by declaratory judgment? Mr. Perkins. My answer is the same, Mr. McCann. Mr. McCann. That is all. Mr. Chairman. Mr. Kearns. Thank you very much, Mr. Perkins. Mr. McCann. Mr. Sax, please. TESTIMONY OF CAEROLL SAX, LABOR RELATIONS MANAGER, WARNER BROS. PICTURES, LOS ANGELES, CALIF.—Recalled Mr. Kearns. Will you establish the witness' identity ? Mr. McCann. Mr. Sax, will you please state your name, your ad- dress, and your telephone number ? Mr. Sax. Carroll Sax, 72571/2 Bellevue; telephone, Hempstead 0684. Mr. McCann. Mr. Sax, you are a member of the Producers Labor Committee on the west coast? Mr. Sax. No, sir. Mr. McCann. What is the name of Warner's representative on that committee ? Mr. Sax. Herbert Freston. Mr. McCann. How do you spell Freston? Mr. Sax. F-r-e-s-t-o-n. Mr. McCann. Does Mr. Freston attend those meetings or do you attend them for him ?
