1272 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. Kearns. Where do you hire them? Mr. BoREN. We liire them at the studio o;ates, our personnel offices. Every person who applies for help is classified. Mr, Kearns. They do not have to belong to the union ? Mr. BoREivr. There is no condition predicated upon union member- ship. Mr. Kearns. Then you do not have a closed shop, you have some nonunion members in your studios? Mr. BoREN. We do. Mr. McCann. Mr. Boren, I have been passed by Mr, Cobb a fifth sheet which is marked "Exhibit D," and which is printed, and I am going to ask the court reporter to add it to the previous four sheets Mr, Cobb. No; counsel misunderstands. That is not a part of that. That relates to a separate and distinct contract dated in December 1935. Mr, McCann. That is correct, December 1935. It is a modification of the previous four-page exhibit. There is a closed-shop agreement market "Exhibit C," with the American Federation of Musicians, the lATSE, the International Brotherhood of Electricians, the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and the United Brotherhood of Teamsters. Unless there is objection, Mr. Chairman, I will ask that this be received at this point and reproduced in the record as soon as Mr. Boren identifies it [handing document to the witness]. Mr, McCann. If there is no objection, Mr. Chairman, may this be received and reproduced at this point? Mr. Kearns. No objection.

Chairman, Producers' Committeee. Mr. McCann. Mr, Chairman, I have some questions that have been submitted by counsel which I should like to ask. I represented to Mr. Tuohy who is liere from California, and who is still seated in the back, that we would try to dispose of him as soon as convenient. I wonder if it would be possible this evening, after asking these questions ? If it is not, I would like for Mr. Tuohy to know it, so he can plan his transportation. It is now 4: 30. We have quite a few more questions to ask Mr. Boren.
