MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 1503 Mr. Walsh. I think the record would show. I don't know whether Brewer pknned anythinc: with them or not. I don't know anything about tliese minutes. I didn't see them. Mr. McCaxn. The question is simply this: Were you aware at the time ? Mr. Walsh. I couldn't be aware if I didn't know about it. Mr. Kearns. That is a leo-itimate question. Mr. McCanx. If you didn't know about it, you could say so, but "were you aware at the time Brewer was planning with the producers the mass discharge of the carpenters and painters?" Mr. Walsh. I don't know what Brewer was planning with the producers; I have no knowledge to that effect. Mr. McCann. These questions are from Mr. Cobb, addressed to Mr. Walsh: Do you have any contract to do carpenter work? If so, give details. Mr. Walsh. The contracts would have to speak for themselves. We will present them if you want; that is, the contracts we have with the employers. There are ver}^ manj^ classifications in there, and I believe many of the classifications will include carpentry work. If you want the con- tracts we will submit them. Mr. McCaxn. Mr. Chairman, do you want the contracts submitted ? Mr. Kearns. Do we have any of the contracts at present ? Mr. McCann. We have some contracts, but they were all turned over as exhibits to the printing department's representative in our office, as I recall it, then the printing was delayed for many weeks, because of the wage-and-hour hearings. I have not seen some of the exhibits since that time. Mr. Kearxs. In the event they are not already- submitted, we may request them. Sir. McCanx. After the Cincinnati directive, did you ask Mr. Green and Mr. Meany for an interpretation or clarification of the Cincinnati directive with regard to your replacements ? Mr. Walsh. I have asked Mr. Green and Mr. Meany about no clarification as to the Cincinnati directive. I stated here what action we took about the replacements; that we went back to Washington and took up the question of the replacements with Green and Meany in Washington. Mr, ]McCaxn. Why do you refer to the purported 1925 agreement as the 1926 agreement? Mr. Walsh. I guess because a lot of other people do. I was reading it right here in front of me. It says here, "Canada, February 5, 1935, and known as the 1926 agreement, be placed in full force and effect." I would say I mentioned 1926 at that time was because it was here in front of me. Mr. OwEX'S. The minutes that you have there showed you entered into some kind of an agreement in July 1926, with reference to the February 5, 1925, arrangement. I asked just before I stepped out before it that meant the February 5, 1925, agreement Mr. Walsh. 1925. This says 1925 agreement. Many people say the 1926 agreement, and some say the 1925 agreement. Mr. OwEXs. But you did show a conclusion of that in July 1926?
