1116 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. McCann. I have some questions by Mr. Cobb and the only rea- son for keeping you, sir, is to try to dispose of this thing: Did you know that the three-man committee: One, decided to follow the historic work division between the carpenters and the lATSE? Mr. Rathvon. I would assume so. Mr. McCann. That Mr. Walsh represented to Mr. Doherty of the three-man committee that the purported 1926 agreement between the carpenters and lA represented the historic division of work ? Mr. Rathvon. Of course I know nothing about Mr. Walsh's repre- sentations. Mr. McCann. All right. Three: Wlien in fact the purported 1926 agreement had never been executed or used and did not represent the actual historical division, you don't know about that ? Mr. Rathvon. I don't know that the board was expected to go back and find the historic division. They were to come out and find a fair jurisdictional decision on this thing. They may have found it in that previous understanding that was never put into effect. Mr. McCann. This is the last question: That the three-man com- mittee acted upon Mr. Walsh's representation and used the agreement of said nonexistent contract in their decision ? Mr. Rathvon. You did not ask that as a question. You mean did I know that? Mr. McCann. Did you know that the three-man committee acted upon Mr. Walsh's representation and used the agreement of 1926, a nonexistent agreement, in their decision ? Mr. Rathvon. I do not think any producers know what motivated the three men to make the decision. Mr. McCann. Thank you very much, Mr. Rathvon. So far as I am concerned, that finishes your testimony. Mr. Kearns. We will stand adjourned until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. (Whereupon, at 4:55 p. m., the subcommittee adjourned until 10 o'clock the following day, Wednesday, February 18, 1948.)
