MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 1261 Mr. McCann. Then on July 2 you entorod into the Beverly Hills afi'roenient by the terms of which you a<;reed, I believe, that the exist- ing workino- conditions, and so forth, should be carried on for another period of 2 years; is that not true ^ Mr. BoKEN, Wages and working conditions w^ere from the period of Januar}^ 1, 1946, to December 31, 1947, inclusive, with the stipula- tion that if the cost of living had risen 5 percent or more from July 1, 1946, to January 1, 1947, the unions could reopen for wages only. Mr. McCaxn. Yes. What I am trying to get at, Mr. Boren, is this: Was there ever any other agreement executed other than an addendum wnth respect to wages, hours, and working conditions, other than the basic agreement with respect to the five unions 3'ou have enumerated? JNIr. BoREX. Yes, there was. Mr. McCann. Would you mind explaining that to us, sir ? INIr. BoREN. The painters W'ithdi-ew^ from the basic agreement. The date I cannot give 3'ou. We did enter into contracts wdth local 644 of the i)ainters after the basic agreement was signed. Mr. McCann. Is that the only one that was changed ? Mr. BoREN. No; we also executed contracts wdth the teamsters' union individually from the basic agreement. ISlr. McCann. When was that executed ? ]Mr. Boren. I want to state this accurately. For the period covering '46 and '47 and also we extended another agreement Mr. Owens. Mr. Boren, counsel is asking the questions, but we are the ones who want to hear the answers. Would you face this way? Mr. Boren. I am sorry. We have so many agreements with so many dates that I want to sj^eak carefully so I can speak as accurately as I can for the record. Mr. Kearns. Take your time, sir. Mr. Boren. The last agreement we executed with the teamsters was in xVugust of 1947, for a period of 1 year. The anniversary date of that contract is August 15,1948. We also entered into contracts with the American Federation of Musicians. The last contract we entered into with the American Fed- eration of Musicians w^as xVpril 1, 1946. The anniversary date I be- lieve is September 1, 1948, around the first of September of this year. Mr. ]McCann. Mr. Chairman, if I am mistaken I do not want to introduce this in the record, but unless I am corrected I do not believe the basic agreement has ever been received in evidence in our records. I am going to ask that a copy of the basic agreement with the car- penters, which he has explained as having been modified, and so forth, be received and reproduced in the record. Mr. Kearns. No objection. Mr. Owens. As exhibit 1 of today, so that we have it marked, rather than by title ? Mr. McCann. It will be reproduced in the record right here and not as an exhibit. ]Mr. Kearns. Read it right into the record. Mr. McCann. I am going to pass it to the court reporter to place it into the record. G7383—48—vol. 2 15
