MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 2195
decision wliich specifically excluded trim and mill work on said sets and stages. The word "erection" is construed to mean assemblage of such sets on stages or locations. It is to be clearly understood that the Committee recognizes the jurisdiction over construction work on such sets as coming within the purview of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners' jurisdiction.
Sections 2 to 5, inclusive, recognized the rightful jurisdiction of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America on all mill woi-k and carpenter work in connection with studios, all work in carpenter shops, all permanent construction, and all construction work on exterior sets.
In view of the alleged violations, the Committee hereby directs that all participants in the Hollywood Motion Picture Studio dispute strictly adhere to the provisions of the directive handed down on December 26, 1945.

April 28, 1947.
Mr. Richard F. Walsh,
President, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving
Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada, 630 Fifth
Avenue, New York 20, New York.
Dear Sir and Brother : The Executive Council at its meeting held here in
Washington beginning April 21st, gave special consideration to reports that a
large degree of confusion and uncertainty had arisen in the minds of many directly
interested in the Hollywood jurisdictional dispute, as to the scope and meaning of
the clarification made by Vice Presidents Knight, Birthright, and Doherty of their
previous decision in the dispute, which I sent you under date of August 27, 1946.
I am therefore submitting to you the Executive Council's clear, definite, and simple interpretation of the clarification referred to. The interpretation is as follows :
Jurisdiction over the assembling of sets on stages was awarded to the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada.
Jurisdiction over the construction of sets was awarded to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.
By direction of the Executive Council I am calling upon all organizations interested and affected to comply with this interpretation of the clarification of the decision rendered by Vice Presidents Knight, Birthright, and Doherty.
This communication is sent you by direction of the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor. Fraternally yours,
(Signed by William Green) President, American Federation of Labor.
