MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 2345
April 19, 1945 :
The sailors of the Pacific have gracioiisl5' offered to us sfny assistance that we may desire from them.
The Picket Line of May 3, 1945 :
Any more volunteers for the Technicolor picket line, fellows? That's where the excitement is these days, if that's what you're after. Many fellows on the picket line want some action ; would even welcome some rough stuff. It's part of producers' war on nerves. Everything kept legal so far, but —
and the "but" is in caps —
men, if anybody steps out of line like Joe Tuohy's goons, grab yourself a fist-full of action.
The Picket Line of May 8, 1945 :
A motion was passed at strategy meeting Monday to allow two telephone men. to pass into each studio, only with written permission.
The Picket Line of April 9, 1945 :
Not very many scabs are working in the studios, but casualty rate is getting high. These stumble-bums always falling down or bumping into things ; must be discouraging.
I don't think any comment from me is necessary, in view of the language of the official publication of the Conference of Studio Unions.
I have here certified photostatic copies which I shall not read into the record of the judgment of conviction for contempt of Herbert K. Sorrell, sentencing him to serve 16 days" imprisonment in the county jail of the county of Los Angeles on February 13, 1946, in Docket iSlo. 506234, in the Superior Court of the State of California in and for the county of Los Angeles, with reference to the violation of the injunction obtained against Painters' Local 644, and others by Warner Bros. Pictures, Inc.
Mr. McCann. I move that they be received as a reference exhibit.
Mr. Landis. Did he serve the 16 days ?
]Mr. LE\nr. My information, sir, is that he did and that there was in addition to that a fine, I think amounting to around $1,700, which was paid.
Mr. OwExs. Mr. Chairman, Mr. Sorrell testified to that. That was the testimony he gave at the time he said one of the reasons he did not appear at the California hearing regarding his purported communistic membership.
Mr. Keakxs. So ordered. •
(The document referred to was filed with the committee.)
Mr. LE^^^. Since Congressman Owens has indicated he is not interested in matters of indictment that have not yet come into the stage of conviction, I shall not refer to the indictment for conspiracy to viohite the penal code of California in the Superior Court of the State of California, Xo. 110200, against Herbert K. Sorrell and others, which is still pending by virtue of certain appeals that have been taken,, and so on, with respect to that indictment. I want that record in.
ISIr. Owens. Mr. Chairman, I think it is perfectly all right where it involves one of the named parties who has testified and who might; be asked to testify again on something which is still pending. I see^ notliing wrong about having that information.
