MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 533 size too iiiiich. Wluit is iiecessavy for Mr. Hiitcheson or for you or for ain'one else to do in order for local 1)46 carpenters to go back to work in Hollywood ? Mr. Cambiano. Give us the work that rightfully belongs to us and that we have been doing for the last 25 or 27 years. Mr. McCann. Now, Mr. Cambiana, that is a rather difficult statement for the committee to receive. The committee wants this matter settled, but there can be no settlement if one side says, "I am entitled to all" and the other side says, "I am entitled to all." Are you willing, as the international representative of Mr. Hutcheson, to arbitrate the situation that exists today? Mr. Cambiano. I think this is a matter of record that when Morris Hutcheson was out here he agreed to that right in the office of the Actors Guild. Mr. McCann. Well, that has never been made a matter of record before us. Mr. Cambiano. Oh, I think I have heard it since I have been here the last week, when some of the people were on the stand. Mr. McCann. Maurice Hutcheson? Mr. Cambiano. That is right. Mr. McCann. Does Maurice Hutcheson have the authority to agree to a thing of that kind? Mr. Cambiano. I am sure that when ^Maurice Hutcheson speaks he speaks for Mr. William L. Hutcheson. Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, that is all at this time. Mr. Kearns. I undei-stand, Mr. Cambiano Mr. Cambiano. I wonder if I could be given an opportunity later on. I have got matters I have to go into which deal with the background. Mr. Kearns. I understand he has a statement he wants to read. Mr. McCann. I didn't know that. I would like to hear the statement. Mr. Cambiano. It is quite long. I will be glad to do that hiter. Mr. McCann. How long would it take, sir? Mr. Cambiano. Oh, about a couple of hours to read the statement. I want to go over the whole background since I got here in 1929. Mr. McCann. May I ask if Mr. Cobb would like to have that now or would you just as soon postpone that ? Mr. Cambiano. I would just as soon do that later on. Mr. Cobb. I will be governed by Mr. Cambiano's wishes. Mr. McCann. All right, we will let that go until later. James Skelton. Mr. Kearns. Will you raise your right hand ? Mr. Skelton. I have alread}^ been sworn. TESTIMONY OF JAMES SKELTON— Recalled Mr. McCann. Mr. Skelton, have you given your address and your telephone number ? Mr. Skelton. Yes ; I have. Mr. McCann. You have previously been sworn ? Mr. Skelton. Yes, sir. Mr. McCann. State again for the record the position that you occupy in local 946.
