2308 MOTION-PICTURE JITRISDICTIONAL DISPUTES
Mr. ZoEN Yes; I know he was, but I think the record should be complete.
]\Ir. Kearns. In other words, you would like more time ?
Mr. ZoRN. I really think I would need some time. I will cut through these thino;s as much as I can. You will notice today I did not go back and read very much stuff from the record.
Mr. Kearns. Yes.
Mv. JNIcCann. Mr. Chairman, may I make one other suggestion? As Mr. Zorn knows, we received at one time a hundred or a hundred and fifty pages from Mr. Boren. We did not require Mr. Boren to read it, yet that has been read very carefully by me on more than one occasion.
I think if you would be willing to do it — I am only thinking of saving your time and the committee's time, and the committee certainly has given everybody a full o]iportunity
Mr. ZoRN. They have gone beyond that, they have been too generous.
Mr. McCann. I have in mind if you would take everything you think material for this committee and put it in a document and offer it, that we could reproduce it in the record.
But it would save us a great deal of expense if you would consent for us to put that in the printed record and not in our daily transcript.
Mr. ZoRN. You know, Mr. McCann, you should have thought of that when they were shoveling that other stuff in.
Mr. McCann. My dear man, I did my best to prevent it.
Mr ZoRN. Let me make this practical suggestion. I cannot obviously do it before the day is over. Let me take this material and see how much I can cut it down. When you resume on Tuesday, give me the opportunity to put it in as rapidly as I can.
Mr. Kearns. All right, I think that is perfectly fair.
Mr. ZoRN. There is one other telegram I wanted to read into the record to clear up one point, if you will give me that opportunity, then I will just about be finished.
Mr. Kearns. All right.
Mr. ZoEN. You will recall that Mr. Sorrell in the course of his testimony made many statements about the fact that the producers had ganged up on him and refused to make contacts with him and they were playing that game for the purpose of conspiring with the lA.
I asked Mr. Boren to give me the sequence of the contractual history with the painters and he sent me this telegram which I would like to read into the record. It is addressed to me at the Hotel Mayflower. It is dated Hollywood, Calif., March 11 :
Brotherhood of Painters, Local 644, executed a contract on September 1, 1942, effective date August 1, 1941, and witli termination date on January 1, 1944. Set designers executed —
that is 1421—
contract May 3, 1942, eifective date May 3, 1942, anniversary date January 1, 1944. Neither of these contracts provided for extension but on handshakes with Pat Casey such contracts were extended as to working conditions and wages into 1944 until agreement was reached, with understanding that with respect to local 644 any new wages agreed upon would be retroactive to January 1, 1944, and with respect to set designers, local 1421, of Brotherhood of Painters, the retroactive date would be April 1, 1944. In confirmation that the contract was ex
