1152 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES representatives of the lATSE to go ahead and keep the studios open for production ? Mr. Kahane. Oh, definitely. It was after we had made the deci- sion and after the September 11 ultimatum. Mr. Kearns. It was after that ultimatum when the producers' com- mittee on labor decided to keep the studios open and made arrange- ments with the lATSE ? Mr, ILvHANE. We made arrangements with all the crafts, sir. Mr. Kearns. You deal on the international level? Mr. Kahane. Yes; but I mean we had an actors' guild to consider. If the actors did not show up we would not make pictures. Mr. Kearns. That was all taken care of, too ? Mr. Kahane. Yes, sir. Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, may I express our appreciation for Mr. Kahane coming back here? I think he has thrown a good deal of light on this situation. Mr. KJEARNS. Yes; indeed.

In reading the Miami minutes, it will be seen that the decision of the three-man committee rendered December 26, 1945, was given to the executive council in the January 1946 meeting in Miami only "as a matter of information." It was not submitted to the executive
