1278 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr, Owens. But I did not hear any testimony np to this point to indicate that it made any change in the directive of December 26. Mr. McCann. I did not say it did, sir. I simply said as I understand it it was an agreement for them to work for 2 years on certain wages and hours, and with a further stipulation that in case of the increased cost of living they would get the benefit of that. That is all I know about it and that has been so testified. Mr. Kearns. Perhaps Mr. Boren can answer that. He was in on the Beverly Hills agreement. Mr. McCann. We have the Beverly Hills agreement. Mr. Kearns. What else was covered besides wages and hours ? Mr. Boren. It did not cover anything besides wages and hours. There is a little addenda down there that other conditions remain the same. Mr. Kearns. I think that answers the question then, doesn't it, Mr. Counsel ? The question was submitted to you. Mr. McCann. Yes; I think so. I was not complaining about the answer. Mr. Chairman, we have- these questions from Mr. Cobb. Was it not a contract for 2 years? Mr. Kearns. What are you talking about? Mr. McCann. The Beverly Hills agreement. Mr. Kearns. That has been answered already—that it was for 2 years. Mr. Oavens. He said it was a treatv for wages and hours for 2 years. Mr. IMcCann. My attention is directed to the contract which is signed by Pat Casey and Herb Sorrell, and in the language of it de- scribing the contract it says: "Contract for 2 years." I was just passed the question and cannot do anything but submit it, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Cobb. The question is very material, Mr. Chairman, if I may have it answered. Mr. Owens. But it is very ambiguous, too. The e^ddence that went before indicated they did not call it a contract, they called it some sort of a treatv and that it only covered wages and hours. Mr. Cobb. The purpose of my question is to correct that testimony. Mr. Kearns. It is my understanding that the Beverly Hills agree- ment was called the treaty of Beverly Hills. Was that the technical name of it ? Mr. BoREN. I think Time magazine named it the treatv of Beverly Hills. Mr. Owens. That it was an arrangement for wages and hours only for 2 years. You said it did not cover other working conditions. Is that true? Mr. BoREN. It.depends on what you call working conditions. In the industry we call working conditions hours, and so on. Mr, Owens. I mean with respect to what union was to do such and such work. Mr. BoREN, No; it did not cover that. Mr. Owens. You did not consider it a contract, you mean? Mr, BoREN, Did we consider that a contract at the time? Mr. Owens, At Beverly Hills; yes. Mr. BoREN, May I have the agreement so that I may read the end of the agreement ?
