MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 121
This, of course, refers to the operation of woodworking machinery. I would appreciate your wiring me as to whether or not the procedure being followed by Mr. Cambiano and Mr. Skelton meets with your approval. Or shall I expect that the Brotherhood of Carpenters will live up to the agreement entered into insofar as refei-ring the differences arising to the respective international presidents?
Sincerely yours,
Pat Casey. Chairman, Producers' Committee.
Mr. INIgCann. Mr. Casey, that is the first time we have ever heard of the 1921 agreement. Do you have a copy of it?
Mr. Casey. I think I have.
Mr. McCann. Will you produce that for the committee?
Mr. Casey. I will.
Mr. McCann. We have heard of the 1026 agreement, but this is
]Mr. Casey. I think I testified, Mr. McCann, there was one in 1921 when Gompers was the president.
Mr. McCann. I don't recall.
Mr. Casey. I may not have.
Mr. McCann. There is a postscript. I didn't see it or I would have read it first.
P. S. I happened to run into our good friend Abe Muir today. He has just arrived back from Florida and tells me that you have been imder the weather. I sincerely hope by this time that you have entirely recovered and that you are 100 percent your good self again. Sincerely.
United Bkotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America,
Lakeland, Fla., Fel)ruarij 11, 1945.
Mr. Pat Casey,
HoUywood. Calif.
Dear Pat : This will acknowledge receipt of your communication of February 9th.
I note with particular interest what you say in reference to the controversy over the set dressers who have affiliated with the interior decorators.
Our mutual friend, HL-rb Sorrell, called me on the telephone some weeks ago in reference to the matter and asked me to contact Bill Green, which I did, but as you state, there was nothing Bill could do in reference to the matter.
Following that, Cambiano and Skelton, representing our organization, were informed that, if the decorators went on strike, our members were to recognize the picket line.
You, Pat, know as well as I that for sometime there has been a contention over prop making, and we i-epresenting the brotherhood have contended that the making of props was work that should be done by our members, and the thing has dragged along for a considerable length of time, and I know of no reason why there .should not be a final solution to the matter arrived at.
As far as going back to the understanding which you quote as having been entered into in 1921 is concerned, the time for that, in my opinion, has long since passed.
I would suggest that you not deduct anything from the wages due our members, because if you do and they resent it by taking a vacation I shall not interfere in the matter. Sincerely.
(Signed) AVm. L. Hutcheson,
General President.
Mr. McCanx. In other words, Mr. Hutcheson tells you if you don't pay these fellows when they sit down and don't work — if they want to strike on account of that — he will support them in it ?
Mr. Casey. Correct.
