It was pointed out tht t certain jurisdiction conilicts with other than lA unions exist in these decisions which could not be put into effect. All the labor-relations managers agreed to Mr. Meyer's proposal. This leaves the cloud and elevator indicator to be settled by international. Mr. Hopkins objects to the wording in the "Stage Theater Work" under local No. SO in which it seems to provide that local No. 80 has the sole right to turn certain work over to local No. 44. Lie claims that it is the right of management. It was explained that the head grip foreman was to make the decision. Mr. Boren suggests the three business agents should be present at each studio when these new rulings are put into effect. It was decided each studio manager could request the business agents to be present if he wished them there. Hold and fold sets: Mr. Barrett wanted it understood that a "hold and fold set" when moved to other stages than the one on which the set was originally built, and even though used for another picture, is nevertheless the work of grips. And also, if and when a stage is used for storage, the sets shall be handled by grips.
