Agreement Rk.\.ched With United Brotherhood of Carpenters and .Joiners Regarding the .Iurisdiciion of Work in Moving Picture Studios The following is a copy of the agreement reached between the United Brother- hood of Carpenters and Joiners and the Studio Mechanics Local Union No. 37 of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of Los Angeles, Calif. This agreement has received the approval of International President Canavau and William L. Hutcheson, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America. Tlien after the statement that this agreement dated February 5, 1925, has received the approval of International President Canavan of the lATSE, and International President William L. Hutcheson of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, the agreement is quoted in full in this bulletin printed April 1925. Mr. Walsh. These are all records of our international organiza- tion and not records that I made up. Now we have the constitution and bylaws of our local union, which was operating in the studios. This constitution we have here was made up I think in the year 1931, is that rights I am asking our counsel. Mr. Levy. It was adopted on July 24, 1931, according to this page. a\Ir. Walsh. That is the constitution and bylaws of the local union that was working in the studios out there. In this constitution and bylaws, in the back of it, which was supplied to each of the members, they have this 1926 agreement. That is the agreement they contend they were working under. So when I presented our argument to the committee after I went through the records of the international organization, after I had read these things and looked in the constitution and bylaws, and after talk- ing to the men on the job out there, I made the statement that was the agreement we were working under and I think I have offered proof here it was the agreement we were working inider; that the local union members thought it was and thought enough of it to print it in their constitution and byhnvs, so who would I be to say they were wrong? Would that be deception to the committee? ]Mr. Kkarxs. It is your impression that they were working under the 192() agreement? Mr. Walsh. Well, there is the local's own con.stitution and bylaws. I find not other agreement drawn siuce 1925 or 1926. There is no other agreement that has been presented here in th rcord or any place else that I know of. That is the same agreement that is in here.
