Jurisdictional disputes in the motion-picture Industry : hearings before a special subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor, House of Representatives, Eightieth Congress, first-session, pursuant to H. Res. 111 (1948)

2332 MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES In addition to that I am having compiled a complete record of all the arrests and convictions in the strikes which I have not been able to get yet, but which I ask leave to put in before these hearings are closed. Mr. Ow^ENs. You mean all of the arrests and convictions or all the convictions ? Mr. ZoRN. A record of them. Mr. Owens. Not of all the arrests ? Mr. ZoRN. I think you are probably right; a record of all the convictions. Mr. McCann. Mr. Chairman, may I at this time suggest that, when that record is received, it be reproduced in the appendix, rather than in the body of the record ? Mr. Landis. So ordered. Mr. McCann. That will save us from having to hold the record open. Mr. ZoKN. I have no objection to that, except that I think the actual record of the number ,of convictions of strikers and particularly the convictions of JNIr. Sorrell — I am having a complete record made of that — I think properly ought to go into the record or go into our brief. We will find some way of putting them in. If the hearings are still open by the time w^e get them in I suppose we can put them right into the record. (The record of arrests referred to will be reproduced in the appendix when received.) Mr. ZoRN. I want to read very briefly from the case of KKO Radio Pictures, Inc., against Screen Set Designers, Illustrators and Decorators Local No. 1421, et cetera, in the Superior Court, State of California, in and for the county of Los Angeles. The case number is 506788. This record shows there were complaints accompanying affidavits, and an injunction issued upon them restraining various forms of picketing, violence, conduct of pickets and so on. I just want t,o quote briefly from the affidavit of Arthur Rosen. It is sworn to on October 24, 1045. Mr. Rosen describes himself as a driver for the Tanner Motor Co. : At about 10: 40 a. m. this morniBg I was driving Tanner Bus No. 41, which has a capacity for approximately 41 passengers, from EKO studios to California studios. My only passengers were 4 KKO drivers. There were approximately 50 pickets at the main gate at California, which is located about 300 feet south of Melrose on Bronson Avenue. As I started to back my bus through the gate, the length of my bus made it necessary for me to cut back three times to clear the gate on entering the studio. On the third cut I was in reverse gear and about one-third of my bus was in the gate when a sharp rock about the size of a good-sized potato and weighing about 2 pounds was thrown through the open window next to my driver's seat and struck me in the back of the head, leaving a cut about 1^/^ inches long and causing my head to bleed profusely. There are other affidavits with respect to this particular incident. The affidavit of Mr. William J. Henshaw, who was employed in the scenic department at RKO, says — ^his affidavit is dated October 24, 1945: While walking on Windsor Boulevard on the west side of the street, approximately 50 to 75 feet from Marathon Street and only 1 or 2 feet from the studio parking lot, along the wire fence, I was tripped by a medium sized, burly man who was not wearing an arm band ; I believe the men called him "Tony." As he tripped me and rolled me against the fence two men that were near him came up
