616 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
Mr. McCann. Approximately 400 employees from the Conference of Studio Unions were laid off in those 2 days?
Mr. AValsh. I ask leave to correct the record as to the number. That is approximately correct.
Mr. McCann. We are not goino; to be picayunish about a matter of that kind. Would you mind telling me from whom you received orders that the checks were to be prepared and the men were to be asked to work on this hot set?
Mr. Walsh. Well, if you divide your question, jSIr. McCann. The perforation of the checks was my own problem. That was an operating problem. I leceived my orders from Mr. Mannix.
Mr. McCann. Who?
Mr. Walsh. Mr. Mannix.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Mannix told you about the checks ?
Mr. Walsh. No; he didn't. That is my problem, as to how the men get paid.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Mannix told you about the fact that you were to put them on the hot sets ?
Mr. Walsh. That is right.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Mannix was the one that told you that this was the day that you were to put them on ?
Mr. Walsh. That is correct.
Mr. McCann. And you were following out Mr. Mannix's orders?
Mr. Walsh. That is right.
Mr. McCann. We will have to have Mr. Mannix back. Mr. Chairman; that is all from this gentleman.
Mr. Kearns. Who is the attorney that has that question?
Mr. Walsh. Mr. Esterman.
Mr. Kearns. Who does he represent?
Mr. Price. Mr. Esterman representing the CSU.
Mr. Kearns. Mr. Welsh, you weren't in any way in charge of production ?
Mr. Walsh. No, sir.
Mr. Kearns. Who is the man in charge of all of the ]Droduction?
Mr. Walsh. Well, Mr. Mannix is general manager of the studio.
Mr. Kearns. Who does he hold responsible for the production ?
Mr. Walsif. It is broken up in a little different way than some of the other studios, perhaps. We have a production manager whose job it is to see that actually the production takes place at the scheduled time.
Mr. Kearns. Is he held responsible for the costs and all, and â– efficiency, and so forth?
Mr. Walsh. No: I believe not. That would be, I suppose, the function of the supervising art director for the set cost construction.
Mr. Kearns. Who is that ?
Mr. Walsh. Cedric Gibbons.
Mr. Kearns. We ought to have those two gentlemen.
Mr. McCann. Who are the men ?
Mr. Price. Mr. Cedric Gibbons
Mr. Kearns. And whoever is the production manager,
Mr. Walsh. Mr. T. E. Butcher.
INIr. McCann. We would like to put them on the stand before we put Mr. Mannix back on.
IVIr. Kearns. That is right.
