1372 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES During the strike our men continued to work in the studios and many of them are still working there today. When Mr. Wilson testified in Los Angeles before your committee, he read into the record the jurisdiction of the stationary branch of our union and sho^Yed you that there were many jobs in the studios which were clearly and rightfully within the jurisdiction of our craft. At that time we were interested only in having recognition of our jurisdiction insofar as heating plants, refrigeration plants, air- conditioning plants, and boiler plants are concerned. We wish an opportunity to bargain with the producers for wages and working conditions for our men. The strife in the studios has contributed in no small measure to the weak position in which we continue to find ourselves there. Mr. Keakns. Does that complete your statement, Mr. Hill? Mr. Hill. It does, sir. Mr. Kearns. Do 3'ou have any questions ? Mr. McCann. No questions. Mr. Kearns. Do you have any questions ? Mr. Owens. No questions, Mr. Kearns.

Mr. Wilson, you have previously testified l)efore our committee. I recall your testimony was very clear on the issues you raised. We asked you for some additional data. Did you bring that with you today ? ]Mr. Wilson. Yes, Mr. McCann. Before I present the evidence that was asked of me by this committee I want it clearly understood that the names on the affidavits—I have the original receipts, the books, and all the information requested—but should the informa- tion be made public knowledge the people involved here woukl no longer be employed in the studios. Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, I wonder if, under the circumstances, the books may not be shown to the chairman? I do not want to see them myself, nor the cards, but just so that the chairman may be able to identify these affidavits and then- let the affidavits be received
