]\fr. Walsh. I t-an tell you the months. As far as the days are concerned, we can find them in the record.
The Cincinnati meeting Avas in October.
Mr. McCann. lf)45?
Mr. Walsh. Yes, sir.
Mr. McCann. All right.
Mr. Walsh. And the Washington meeting was about ten days after that meeting.
Mr. McCann I see.
Mr. Walsh. Now, if the October meeting was late, it would be in November.
Mr. McCann. Now, we know definitely what the Cincinnati meeting was for. What was the purpose of the Washington meeting?
Mr. Walsh. Just a second. I will see if I have a paper here that will give you that date.
The Washington meeting was on October 30.
Mr. McCann. Now tell me briefly what was the purpose of the Washington meeting.
Mr. Walsh. I can read the memoranda here. It was for this purpose, to find out whether the employer had the right during the 60 days to employ i>ur members, or whether they did not. It said,
It is definitely in-l clearly understood that all striking employees at Hollywood, who were on call on March 12, shall return to work immediately. Each employee will return to the position he formerly occ-upied when the strike occurred. Management shall exerci-se its usual prerogative as to assignment of employees during the 60-da5^ interim [)eriod, without interference on the part of the unions involved.
We went to get this [indicating].
Mr. McCann. Now, that definitely establishes the Washington meeting.
Now, the Miami meeting came along following the directive of December 26, 1945 . didn't it ?
Mr. Walsh„ Yes, sir.
Mr. McCann. And the purpose of that was to ascertain whether or not the couii' :1 intended for that directive to go in force at once, is that correct ?
Mr. Walsh. I believe that the carpenters were trying to get a clarification and a change of the directive.
Mr. ]McCann. At that meeting?
Mr. Walsh. Ai that meeting. And the reason we went down there was to — I was asked by President Green to come there.
He sent me a relegram here. I believe I was in Hollywood.
Mr. McCann. I recall that. Now, you were not a member of the council, were yoii ?
Mr. Walspi. No, sir.
Mr. McCann. You attended the meeting with these industry representatives and discussed the issues pretty fully with them. And you testified yesterday, as I recall it, that you were not sure whether Mr. Tobin was the )ne who asked the question, but you knew that Mr. Mannix said approximately 300 or 350 men would be thrown out of employment. You testified yesterday that not one of these three men who issued the December 26, 1945, directive and participated in the Miami meeting raade any objection or any effort to deny that that was true, didn't you ?
Mr. Walsh. That is right.
