1286 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr. TuoHY, No, I haven't here, Mr. McCann. As you know, I am no longer with the studio and I have no records at all. Mr. McCann. I understand that, sir, but I wonder if you could furnish the committee with a copy of the wire, which Mr. Tobin sent to you. Mr. TuoHY. I believe if you call or write to Mr. Ralph Clare, who is now secretary-treasurer and business representative of that union, he would furnish you with any information along that line that you want. Mr. McCann. Thank you very much. We will do so. Mow, prior to the incidents which arose on the 23d of September 19^6, did you attend any meetings of the producers? Mr. TuoiiY. I think I said before I probably did, INIr. McCann, as we were vitally interested in keeping our people working and also keeping the studios open. Mr. McCann. The record shows you attended a meeting of the studios on August 16, 1946, with a number of other labor people, in- cluding Mr. Walsh. I wonder if you recall that meeting at all? Mr. TuoHY. No, I do not; but if you could give me some informa- tion as to what went on I probably could. Mr. McCann. That meeting the minutes referred to as a report by Mr. Kahane. He read the report of July 2, 1942; read Gilbert's letter of July 2, 19-1:2; read memo to Roy Brewer of July 3, 19-12. Then it shows a number of labor leaders talked at the meeting and there was a recess at 5 in the afternoon. It makes a comment after some further remarks: It was agreed to meet for further negotiations with 1421 at 2: 30 p. m. Monday in the board room. Do you recall that board meeting ? Mr. TuoHY. You are stating 1942, Mr. McCann. Mr. McCann. No; I am talking about the meeting on August 16, 1946, but they were discussing something in relation to memos and contracts apparently made in 1942. I just wondered if you remem- bered it. Mr. TuoHY. No, I do not, Mr. McCann. Mr. McCann. Do you remember communicating with Mr. Brewer and advising him of the fact that Mr. Beck had said he would send in help if needed ? Mr. TuoHY. I believe that was at a meeting Mr. Brewer called of all his business representatives in our building, and I made that state- ment at that meeting that night. Mr. McCann. Then you had communicated also with Mr. Beck, as well as with Mr. Tobin, had you ? Mr. TuoHY. Oh, yes; I had just returned from Santa Barbara where the western conference of teamsters was meeting. I discussed the matter with Mr. Beck up there and told him it looked like we were to have another strike down there. He at that time told me if neces- sary that in order to keep working he would send other representatives of the downtown locals to come out there and help out. Mr. McCann. In other words, if the local teamsters affiliated with the studios refused to go through the picket line, Mr. Beck advised you that he would send other teamsters from the downtown local to come out and do so?
