320 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. BrRTiTRiGiiT. I recall that conversation generally. I had a memorandum. I didn't have this full report. I was in mj^ home, and I couldn't have had the full report ; I never have it there. Mr. McCann, Then this isn't accurate when you say you did have the report ? Mr. BiRTiiKiGiiT. No. If it went through that way, it isn't accurate. Mr. McCann. You just had a memorandum? Mr. Birthright. I just had a memorandum. As I said this morning. Counsel. I had a memorandum, and the next day I went to my oflice and I found the final report, and I telegraphed Mr. Murphj^ and quoted it to him. Mr. McCann. Now, I am reading to you from page 1613. Mr. Price. Lines 1 to 7. Mr. McCann (reading) : Mr. Kelly. Just explain to me, if you can, do you mean liy erection of sets for the lATSE, that any set built on a stage should be built and constructed by the lATSE? Mr. Birthright. As the directive is understood; yes. iMr. Kelly. In other words, any building on a stage, outside of millwork and trim work, goes to the lATSE? Mr. Birthright. Yes. Do you recall that. Mr. Birthright? Mr. Birthright. No ; I don't recall it. Mr. McCann. Did you so state in that conversation? Mr. Birthright. I couldn't say — if we had said "'the assemblage of these sets would be carried on by the stagehands." meaning to me that the carpenters built them and brought them to the door, or somebody did, and the stagehands toook them over and set them on the set wherever they were directed to put them Mr. McCann. You didn't mean to give any authority to the lATSE to construct the sets on stages? Mr. Birthright. No; the committee never intended that. Mr. McCanx. Now, I have a few more questions here to read. Mr. Price. Line 24 on 1613. Mr. McCann (reading) : Mr. Kelly. If sets are going to be built and erected on a stage, who should do it? Mr. Birthright. According to the directive, the lA. Mr. Kelly. Outside of mill and trim work? Mr. Birthright. Yes. Mr. Kelly. Does that make it clear? Is that all? IVIr. Price. Yes. Mr. McCann. Do you recall that, sir? Mr. Birthright. Well, probably I do. counsel. I wouldn't say I do, but that Avord "erection" has caused a lot of arguments in this thing, and erection was Mr. McCann. Did you so state to the boys that night ? Mr. Birthright. I don't know. T wouldn't say I did. Mr, McCann. You dou'u know whether you did or not i Mr. Birthright. No. Mr. McCann. Page 1614, line 7 ; Mr. Arnold. This is Eddie Arnold. Did you i)eople write that directive with the words "erection and assemblage" in it for clarification?
