tee on the bill of rights to-day when

that they were incompetent to pass upon

Chairman Louis Marshall remarked that

trict Attorney Martin of The Bronx.
asked other questions. which Mr.. Irwin
said indicated that he knew little about
the moving picture business.
Finally the attitude of the members
of the committee became so exasperating
10 MIR, Irwin that he remarked:
1T Is apparent that the members OF

pass judgment on this proposition. but
