MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 1017
Mr. Kearns. Mr. Hays, I would like to have you, for the record, send in, if you don't have it with you — and the time is short — a list of the questions that you used on the examination. I want that for the file. I would like to have that.
Mr. Hays. Send you in a list?
Mr. Kearns. Yes.
Mr. Hays. I will do that.
Mr. Kearns. Mr. Walsh, as international president, I would greatly appreciate it if you would personally make a little investigation of that situation and write me about it, about this whole situation.
Mr. Walsh. I will do that, Mr. Congressman. I want to say, as the international president, this local union has been doins; a verv fine job. I think that they are going to carry out that job. We will help them out and see if they can't do a little bit better. I think the local has done a fine job.
Mr. Kearns. I understand these gentlemen who want the right to work, the right to have a union card now, will be afforded that opportunity through another examination, similar to the type of questions you are going to send to me.
Mr. Hays. That is correct.
Mr. Kearns. Would I be asking too much to have you submit the score on that for me? In other words, I would like to know the number that take it. I would like to know the average grade you set up for passing, for acceptance, and the number that met that requirement. Also, for those who didn't pass, why they are disqualified.
Mr. Hays. Yes.
Mr. Kearns. And I will regard it as personal information, pertaining to this hearing.
Mr. Hays. You are a Congressman from Pennsylvania?
Mr. Kearns. Yes.
Mr. Hays. It's a shame it isn't from New Jersey. I am from New Jersey.
Mr. McCann. I want to know if you are going to give the opportunity to all 42 men, if they are going to waive the age limit.
Mr. Hays. In February the age limit was waived. I can't answer for the action of my body. All I know is, a motion was made to reexamine these men.
Now, it doesn't say whether it will be all 42 or not. I will have to leave that to the body, because as it stands the 45-year-old age limit was waived only by the international president for that one examination.
Mr. McCann. I would esteem it, and I believe the committee would consider it a real favor, if you gave the same opportunity to the men who are over 45 years of age.
Mr. Kearns. I asked Mr. Walsh to look into this matter, along with this union. I know he will do that. I think, Mr. Counsel, I will dismiss the witness, if you have no further questions.
Mr. McCann. No further questions.
Mr. Chairman, when there is an opportunity, I would like for you to hear a word from Mr. Cobb before you close the hearing this afternoon.
Mr. Kearns. All right.
