MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 273
go into each and every organization involved liere. I am going to assume you know wliat they presented and what our findings were in connection therewith.
I think tlie dispute can be confined to the work demarcation or allocation which was handed down b}^ our conmiittee as it applies to the International Association of Theatrical Stage Employees and to the United Brotherhood of Cari)enters. Am I right in that assumption?
Mr. McCaxx. I think that is correct, sir.
Mr. DoHEKTY. I will assume, too, Mr. Chairman, that your counsel and the committee have been sui)plied with not only one but many coj^ies of the decision itself.
Mr. McCaxx\ I think the decision has been supplied.
jVIr. DoHEKTY. It is a mattei' of record, I think.
Mr. Kearxs. It is a matter of record.
Mr. DoiiERTY. There is no need of going into all of the pages in this decision. However, if there are questions, we will be very happy to answer them to the best of our knowledge and ability.
Mr. Kearns. However, Mr. Doherty, we will stand in recess for 10 minutes.
(Short recess taken.)
Mr. Kearxs. The hearing will come to order.
Mr. Doherty, you may proceed where I interrupted you before the recess.
Mr. Doherty. Mr. Chairman, I merely wish to reiterate what I said before the recess — that the A. F. of L. committee will cooperate with the subcommittee of the House Education and Labor Committee in every particular. We will do everything humanly possible to assist you in your arduous task.
Now, at the point before the recess we were about to discuss work allocation as handed down to the International Alliance of Theatrical.Stage Em])loyees and the Brotherhood of Carpenters under the directive dated December 2(5. or the decision dated December 26, 1945.
Mr. McCaxx. May I interrupt }' ou there, sir ?
Mr. Doherty. Certainly.
Mr. McCaxx. Would you mind reading to us the section of that directive about set erectors?
Mr. Doherty. That is under painters and decorators.
Mr. Padway. It is suggested it is on the last page, Bill.
Mr. Doherty. Set erection; I beg your pardon. You said "set erection-'?
Mr. McCaxx. Yes.
Mr. Doherty. That is contained in the work division as handed to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. I tliink we have to read the whole thing — it is very brief — in order to get the meat of it.
Mr. McCanx. I wish you would read that, sir.
Mr. Doherty (reading) :
The committee rules that the division-of-work agreement entered into between the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Motion Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada, on February 5, 1925, and known as the 192f> agreement, be placed in full force and effect immediately.
