JUEISDICTIONAL DISPUTES IN THE MOTION-PICTURE INDUSTRY WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 1948 House of E,epresenTx\tives, Special Subcommittee of the Committee on Education and Labor, Washington^ D. C. The subcommittee met, piu-siiant to adjournment, at 10 a. m., before Hon. Carroll D. Kearns (chairman of the special subcommittee). Mr. Kearns. The hearing will please come to order. I will ask Mr. Zorn to take the stand first this morning. You have been d\\\\ sworn, I understand? Mr. Zorn. Yes, sir. ]Mr. Kearns. You have some additional evidence to submit ? jSIr, Zorn. I have, Mr. Chairman, and this will only take a moment. TESTIMONY OF BUETON A. ZORN— Recalled Mr. Zorn. When I was on the stand 3^esterday, I introduced in evidence a series of photographs of mass picket lines and violence in connection with the Columbia and Warner Bros, studios, both in the 1945 and the 1946 strikes. I received this morning — and I had requested them some time ago — a series of photographs from Metro-GoldwynMaver showing strike activities, picketing, and violence in connection with the 1946 strike. I have here a batch of 16 photographs. The dates they were taken are identified on the back. I would like to have them entered as reference exhibits, but I would like the members of the committee to take a look at them now. That completes my statement. Mr. Kearns. This one looks like Czechoslovakia. Mr. Zorn. That is what ]\Ir. Sorrell described as a peaceful picket line. Mr. Kearns. At this time we will be very happy to enter these picture as exhibits for the record, Mr. Zorn. Mr. Zorn. One further statement and then I am through, Mr. Chairman. Yesterday morning I informed the committee — I think in your absence — that we had motion pictures of picketing and violence in connection with both strikes. Those motion pictures are here. They have been sent out from Hollywood. They are at the Motion Picture Association in Mr. Bryson's custody. I made the request yesterday that at the committee's convenience I would like very much to have the committee look at those pictures. 2399
