28 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
The producers have met with representatives of various CSU unions on several occasions — indeed in July of this year they met successively with local 1421, set designers, and with the carpenters, and with the painters. At each such meeting the producers asked :
(1) Agreement of the international presidents to abide hv the 1945 directive.
(2) A no-strike clause pending action of the international heads on final settlement of the problems.
(3) Acceptance of work assignments in accordance with the 1945 directive pending agreement by the international president on the problem created by the employment during the strike of members of lATSE.
No progress has been made in such meetings. The strike is still continuing. That is the story.
Mr. McCann. There is one other question I would like to ask you : Wasn't it true that one of the lATSE locals voted that they would support the CSU, as you testified a while ago ?
Mr. Kahane. Well, yes, in the last strike — this current strike — there was trouble between the laboratory workers and
]Mr. McCann. Did they go out on strike, the laboratory people?
Mr, Kahane. They didn't at first, but later they did,
Mr. McCann. They had a vote on the issue and voted to sustain the carpenters there ?
Mr. Kahaxe. I don't know that it was to sustain the carpenters.
Mr. McCann. It was to sustain the CSU?
Mr, Kahane. They voted not to go through the picket lines,
Mr, McCanx, What was done with the union ? Did the lATSE file suit against that union?
Mr, Kahane, Well, I think that you ought to get that from other men who know more about the internal affairs. I know from hearsay that there was action taken against the local by the international.
Mr. McCann. Will you produce the July' 2, 1946, Beverly Hills treaty ?
Mr. Kahane. Yes, sir.
Mr, McCann. I would like to have that, and I would like to have you furnish me, this afternoon, when we reconvene, the names of all of the unions involved in this controversy, I would like to have them listed so we can put them in the record as a list,
Mr, Price, Here is the list of all the studios we're dealing with.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, this as been furnished to me by Mr. Price, and it is the list of the lATSE locals at the beginning of the strike, September 2G, 1946, the Conference of Studio Unions, motionpicture studio unions and guilds, the basic-agreement unions, and miscellaneous guilds and unions.
I will ask, Mr. Chairman, that this be received in evidence at this time and reproduced in the appendix as Exhibit No. 1.
Mr. Kearns. No objection.
(The exhibit referred to will be found in the appendix.)
Mr. McCann. Did I not ask you on Saturday to produce another list for me ?
Mr. Price. You said you would like to have a list of the contracts.
Mr. McCann. Yes.
Mr. Price. I haven't had a chance to get that made up yet. It is rather long, as you will see.
Mr. McCann. Mr, Chairman, we ask that, when we do receive the list of contracts, it be marked "Exhibit No. 2."
(By direction of the chairman this list is omitted from the record.)
