1448 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES Mr, HuTCHEsoN. Mr. Chairman, I do not recall having used any such language. The record that I presented in reference to that will stand, whatever it is. Mr. McCann. How long has Cambiano been an international repre- sentative of the carpenters ? Mr. HuTCHEsoN. I don't think it is any of the gentleman's business, because that is the private affair of the brotherhood. Mr. McCann. Cambiano was the representative of the carpenters who gave the producers the ultimatum that the carpenters would not do carpentry work on stage sets erected by the lA ? Mr. HuTCHESON. I think the record answers that. Mr. McCann. Didn't you write Pat Casey on February 17, 1945, that— Cambiano and Skelton, representing our organization, were informed that if the decorators went on strike our members were to recognize tlie picket line. Mr. HuTCHESON. I haven't anything to do with the quote. Mr. Levy. I get that answer again, please ? Mr. HuTCHEsoN. I said I have nothing to do with the quote. Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman. I think this is a matter that is in- volved in our investigation. I very respectfully request—and I think this is quite material—that you consider this question again and see if you can't answer it. I suggest that you should. Didn't you write Pat Casey on February 17, 1045. that Cambiano and Skelton— representing our organization, were informed that if tlie decorators went on strike our members were to recognize the picl<et lines. Mr. HuTCHESoN. Perhaps I did. because that is the policy the brotherhood follows—that our membership should recognize picket lines. Mr. McCann. Didn't the twenty-fifth general convention of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters concur in the resolution of studio local 946 to the effect that the Hollywood carpenters were on strike in 1945 for 13 weeks ? Mr. HuTCHESON. The record speaks for itself. Mr. McCann. So your statement that the carpenters did not strike in 1945, but merely refused to cross the picket line, is not correct ? Mr. HuTCHESON. The record speaks for itself. Mr. Chairman, I might clarify it there by saying that neither I nor any other general officer is responsible for the wording of a resolu- tion presented to our convention. Mr. McCann. After you Avrote Knight that you could not be in California for the hearing, didn't your organization receive notice from the three-man committee to appear at the hearing in Hollywood on a specific date ? Mr. HuTCHESON. The record shows how that came about. Mr. McCann. I think the record definitely shows that they did get the notice, so there is no use wasting time with that. I think the notice went out to everybody and that evidence is in the Hollywood record. ]\Ir. Owens. You mean that went out after November 18? Mr. Kearns. I think the question there is that there was a second one. Mr. McCann. After you wrote Knight?
