532 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
Mr. Cambiaxo. To some detjree. I might state I did not cover all of the Avorkiiig of it. Most of my time Avas taken np in other matters throughout the State, and 1 missed many, many meetings that were ]H-obably going on. I kind of observed as an over-all, but did not attend many, many functionings of the meetings during the entire period.
Mr. McCaxx. Will you tell me. sir, whether or not local 04() has autonomy and whether they have had the power to settle their problems here without interference from your international?
Mr. CA^rBiAXO. It has had that authority.
Mr. McCax^x'. Somewhere in the picture it seems to me I read a statement they once proposed a settlement of the issues between the unions, and that there was a statement in there "Providing we can secure the approval of the international.'' Wasn't there some such proposed compromise?
Mr. Cambiaxo. That is true, counsel. Where there is issue that involves the fundamental workings of the entire United Brotherhood of Car]:)enters they must have the approval of them. In other words, if a local union was to take it upon itself to give away the fundamentals and the jurisdiction of the brotherhood you could readily see what a position the Brotherhood of Carpenters would be placed in.
Mr. McCaxx. What I want to ask you now is this : You say they enjoy autonomy. We are interested in the settlement of the jurisdictional strike in Hollywood.
Mr. Cambiaxo. I want to assure you, counsel, I am very much desirous in doing that.
Mr. McCaxx. We are interested that full and complete justice shall be done in this situation. We are not here as a congressional investigating group interested in who gets what. But we are interested in seeing that those wdio are entitled to it get the jobs that they deserve.
Mr. Cambiaxo. I appreciate those remarks, counsel. That is what we are asking for.
Mr. McCaxx. AVhat we want to know from you, sir, is this : You have heard our efforts to secure Mr. Hutcheson's presence here and he isn't here. You are his representative. We want to know if this issue in Hollywood could be settled without the personal appearance and the personal consent of Mr. Hutcheson ?
Mr. Cambiaxo. I am sure it can, counsel.
Mr. McCaxx. Have you authority to speak for Mr. Hutcheson today on this issue ?
Mr. Cambiaxo. I would not say that I have. I was out of the State, and incidentally, it was not Mr. W^illiam L. Hutcheson that was in Klamath Falls,' Oreg. It was Maurice Hutcheson and Hugh Cainbiano.
Mr. McCaxx. Well, that just shows how we have been misled.
Mr. Cambiaxo. I would just give that for a correction, because I had picked Mr. ISIaurice Hutcheson up at the airport at San Francisco and had gone to Klamath Falls, where we had matters pertaining to timber up there and he then returned. I would say, on the !2t)th. and that is when I first learned I was subpenaed to be here on Monday morning. I only regret that I did not get it a week sooner, because I would like to "have heard the beginning of the wdiole proceedings.
Mr. McCaxx. I want to state a point which I think we can't empha
