MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 1467 far as going back to the understanding which you quote as having been entered into in 1921 is concerned, the time for that, in my opinion, has long since passed" ? Mr. HuTCHESoN. I think the record of yesterday shows the comment on that. Mr. McCann. Now, we have some questions by Mr. Zorn. ]Mr. Levy. AVhen I take the stand, Mr. Chairman, I want to have a chance to respond to that. Mr. IvEARNS. If I have everybody in the room jumping up, saying that when they take the stand they will respond to that, it will be very confusing. That is your privilege when you take the stand. You do not liave to inform the Chairman every time there is a statement made here by a witness. I do not want counsel to tell me every time they disagree with someone that when they take the stand they are going to do something. That will be your prerogative at that time. Mr. JMcCann. These questions are by Mr. Zorn: You testified yesterday that the carpenters' brotherhood was not bound by the December 26, 1045, decision of the three-man committee, because the carpenters' case was not presented to the three-man committee. Mr. HuTOHESON. Mr. Chairman, the record of yesterday will show what I had to say about that. Mr. McCann. Was not the so-called clarification of August 16, 1946. issued by the three-man committee on the instructions of the A. F. of L. executive council Avithout notice to and without hearing from the IAT8E or the producers, both of whom were parties to the Cincinnati agreement '( Mr. HuTCHEsoN. I think the record of yesterday will show my state- ment in reference to that, jNIr. Chairman. Mr. McCann. Now, if the carpenters were not bound by the Decem- ber 26,1945, decision because their case was not presented to the three- man committee, why was the lATSE bound by the August 16 clarifi- cation when its case was not heard either by the three-man committee or by the A. F. of L. executive council ? Mr. HuTCHESON. I don't get that question clearly, Mr. Chairman. Mr. McCann. If the carpenters were not bound by the December 26, 1945, decision because their case was not presented to the three-man committee, why was the lATSE bound by the August 16 clarification when its case was not heard either by the three-man committee or by the A. F. of L. executive coimcil 1 Mr. HuTCHESON. INIr. Chairman, I would answer that in this way; that is a statement, not a question. It is a statement th'\t the council of the American Federation of Labor merely asked the three-man committee to make a clarification of what they had said previously on Decemlier 26. Mv. Landis. Just an observation there. Did that question say the other side was not heard either ? Mr. Owens. Not before they made the clarification. Mr. Landis. That is the point I wanted covered. Mr. Owens. Mr. Hutcheson, I just want to bring this out. There was an additional statement we were discussing a moment ago made by Mr. Flanagan to Mr. Green pertinent to the questions involved, was there not?
