934 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
Mr. Ryan. Yes. I have that series of documents here, Mr. McCann.
Mr, McCann. Mr. Chairman, 1 ask that this series of documents be received in evidence as a reference exhibit.
Mr. Kearns. No objection.
(The documents referred to will be found in the files of the committee.)
Mr. Ryan. I might say, Mr. McCann, that with respect to each of these cases, the series of cases that I have identified, that I have all of the papers tacked together pertaining to one series, so that when I hand them to you will have all of the series.
The next case is No. 21-C-2735, against the Association of Motion Picture Producers and its members filed by the International Association of Machinists on April 12, 1946.
The charges were amended on June 26, 1946, and again on July 18, 1946, and again on September 25, 1946. The machinists allege that the Association of Motion Picture Producers and its members violated sections 8 (1), (3), and (5) of the National Labor Relations Act. A complaint was issued in that case by the Board on September 26, 1946, the trial examiner's report after hearing was issued on April 30, 1947. It was transferred to the Board for its decision on May 7, 1947, and the Board has not yet issued its decision in that case.
Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, I move that these be received in evidence as a reference exhibit.
Mr. Kearns. No objections.
(The documents refered to will be found in the files of the committee. )
Mr. Ryan. The next case on which I have some papers is cases Nos, 21-C-2802 to 2811. There is a series of nine cases. They are against Columbia Pictures and the other major producers, I don't name them all, but the papers disclose who the others are. These charges were filed by local 644 of the International Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators and Paper Hangers of the A. F. of L. on June 19, 1946. They allege that the major producers violated the National Labor Relations Act within the meaning of section 8, subsections (1) and (3). The status of that case is that it is still under investigations in the informal stages in our office.
Mr. McCann. What time were those papers filed ?
Mr. Ryan. Those charges were filed April 12, 1946.
Mr. McCann. Well, they obviously dealt with an earlier strike than that date.
Mr. Ryan. Yes. They dealt principally with some dischragees, a series of dischargees. All I have with respect to that case is a charge.
I might say that an identical charge was filed in that series of cases against each producer, rather than bringing the charge for each of the cases along I brought one, which is identical to all of the others, except, of course, that the name of the company would be different in each of them.
Mr. McCann. You indicate in your report, do you. how many companies they were brought against^
Mr. Ryan. Yes. They were brought against nine of the major producers.
Mr. McCann. I move that this be received in evidence as a reference exhibit.
