MOTION-PICTURE JURISDICTIONAL DISPUTES 2395
Mr. OwKXs. I was in Chicaso. I mioht say, at the time my secretary, as I luiderstand it, gave the message to the chairman. He immediately ])assed the information on to the people that were here. Is that correct, ^Ir. Chairman?
Mr. Kkarns. That is right.
Mr. OwEXS. That is, to Mr. Levy, to Mr. Sorrell, and Mr. Bodle.
Mr, Kearxs. To the counsel.
Mr. lioBixsox^. Did Sorrell say that he didn't remember me?
Mr. OwEXS. I was not here at the time that examination was made, bnt I was told by the chairman he said he did not remember you. Is that correct, Mr. Chairman?
Mr. RoBixsox. I am awfully sorry, I got down here after Herb had left, because we were pretty close for quite a w^hile.
Air. OwExs. That is all I have.
Mr. Ronix'sox'. If there is anything further on it, if I am ever called on, I can assure you of this, that any time you want to call on me for any of the Communist activity in the labor movement on the Pacific coast I will only be too glad to come down here.
]Mr. IMcCaxx'. You told us a moment ago that you were a member of the carpenters' union. When did you become a member of the carpenters' union?
Mr. RoBixsox. When I went to w^ork for the Bechtel Corp.
Mr. McCax^x'. How long ago was that ?
Mr. Roiiix^sox". January 22.
Mr. McCax^x'. You joined the carpenters' union January 22, 1948 ?
Mr. KoBixsox^. Yes; I have it wrong here. They have it 1947, and it is 1948.
Mr. OwEX'S* That often happens in January. They often put the previous year's date on it.
Mr. RoBixsox". That is right.
Mr. McCaxx. But the next date is February 1948.
Now, Mr. Robinson, I want to ask you in regard to the last part of your message :
Can furnish detailed information covering his testimony as published, as I was very active in conduct of strike.
Now, do you want to give us any further information ?
Mr, OwExs. I think he has covered that pretty well, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. INIcCax^x^. I just want to make sure if he had anything else.
Mr. RoBix'sox. Well, wdien I read his testimony that he was not a member of the Communist Party, I know definitely that Herb was a member of the Communist Pai'ty. If you want me to go on in detail I can give you some examples of what transpired out there in the way of sabotage, and one thing and another that I had to contend with. I don't know how far you want me to go with this.
Mr. Lax^dis. Go ahead, as far as you want to go.
Mr. RoBixsox'. Well, for one thing, he introduced me to some of the boys. Of course, I knew right away as soon as the things they proposed to me, I knew right awaj' they were Communists. He introduced them to me, and said, "They have some ideas they want to push,"
INIr, ^McCaxx, Do you remember who those boys were ? ,
Mr. RoBixsox". I don't remember their names; no.
Mr. McCax'x. You don't remember their names?
