F. of L.. on behalf of the Studio Carpenters Local 946, in the matter of de- termining work jurisdiction between the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America and the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees representing its atiiliated Property Local 44. Mr. Kearns. Mr. Cambriano, when was this prepared? Mr. Cambiano. This was prepared just at the time the three vice-presidents came into Hollywood to take up the dispute. Now, that gives you the background. Skipping part of it, he further said: This .submission is being m;ide with the understanding that no conclusion will be made by the arbitration board in Los Angeles and that further evidence and data may be submitted and discussion will be held with the international presi- dent of the United Brotherhood of Cari>euters and Joiners of America prior to any final determination of this matter. Mr. Landis. Who said that ? Mr. McCann. JSIr. Cambiano to the three-man committee. Mr. Lanots. Oh, well, he could not decide that. Read that again. Mr. McCann.

Mr. Landis. Was there any answer to that? Mr. jSIcCann. No answer was given. That was his statement to the committee. Mr. Owens. Mr. McCann, does anything show in the record before the arbitration committee that he made any such statement? This was in 1947. He appeared before the arbitration committee 2 years be- fore. 1945. Is there anything in that record to show that he made any sucli remark to the three members of the board ? ^fr. McCann. As I understand it, this is being quoted from his re- marks to the three-man committee. Mr, Landis. Where can you find that in the other record? Ml'. HuTCHESoN. Mr. Chairman, ma}' I ask a question ?
