MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 353
Now, that, of course, is a little in contrast to the resolution which I know said all the international presidents would have to appear. You will find that in the minutes of this meeting, I am sure, Mr. Counsel.
Mr. McCann. Does that satisfy you, sir?
Mr. LuDDY. Yes.
Mr. McCann. Another .question by Mr. Luddy. Was Mr. Walsh, president of the lATSE, at the May meeting in Washington ?
Mr. Somerset. He was.
Mr. McCann. Any other questions, gentlemen ?
These questions are submitted by Mr. Cobb. I am requested to ask you gentlemen individually for responses.
Mr. Reagan, Avas any work taken from the carpenters by the December 26, 1045, decision?
Mr. Reagan. Well, Mr. Counsel, I would say that— and it has to be hearsay — I am like Mr. Murphy said the other day — I am not a technician. I would say from the reaction to the December directive there certainly must have been. I have heard it testified that Mr. Mannix said there would be an exchange of about 350 jobs. Tliat is the extent of my knowledge.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Arnold, will you answer that question ?
Mr. Arnold. I don't know so much about the working conditions on stages and sets. I don't know ; really I can't answer it. I don't know.
]\Ir. McCann. Mr. Somerset.
Mr. Somerset. I have never seen the figures in books. From all reports, yes, there were a change of about 300 to 350 jobs, so far as I know.
Mr. Arnold. In most of these meetings, Mr, Counsel, if I may inject, that came after the clarification. I wasn't sitting in on those meetings at all. I don't know what discussions went on.
Mr. McCann. Now, gentlemen, I think you have answered the second question, but I will ask it and see if you have any further answer to make to it. If so, what? He refers to the work. The first question is "was any work taken from the carpenters by the December 26, 1945 award ?" The second one is, "If so, what ?"
Mr. Reagan. Well, sir, so far as I am concerned, I think I answered. My only knowledge is hearsay. I heard the statement j\Ir. ]Mannix is supposed to have made at Miami. I was not present. I heard it referred to in this court room. I heard that work referred to as set erection.
Mr. Arnold. I don't think these technical questions are fair to us. As Mr. IMurphy said yesterday, our business is acting. We only tried to do something to settle this terrible thing tliat was going on in our studios.
I don't think it is fair. Would it take a screw driver from one man or would it take a nail from another one. I don't think it is fair, and I don't think it was fair to ask Mr. Murphy yesterday.
You can smile if you like, Mr. Cobb.
Mr. Cobb. Yes.
Mr. Arnold. I would like to ask you a few things about acting and see if you can answer them.
Mr. Cobb. Which answer would be, Mr. Chairman, that Mr. Arnold is an excellent actor.
