In the Matter of HENRY HENNESSEY, EMPLOYER and OPTICAL AND INSTRUMENT WORKERS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, CIO, PETITIONER Case No. 15-RC-96.-Decided February 3,1919 DECISION AND ORDER Upon a petition duly filed, a hearing was held before a hearing officer of the National Labor Relations Board. The hearing officer's rulings made at the hearing are free from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3 (b) of the National Labor Relations Act, the Board has delegated its powers in connection with this case to a three-elan panel consisting of the undersigned Board Members.* Upon the entire record in this case, the Board makes the following : FINDINGS OF FACT The Petitioner, which unlike its parent federation, the Congress of Industrial Organizations, has complied with Section 9 (f), (g), and (h) of the Act, is the same labor organization whose petition was dismissed in the American Optical Company 1 case. For the reasons given in that decision, the Petitioner may not invoke the juris- diction of the Board until the Congress of Industrial Organizations itself has complied with the filing requirements of the Act. Accord- ingly, we shall dismiss the petition. ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for investigation and certifica- tion of representatives of employees of Henry Hennessey, New Orleans, Louisiana, filed herein by Optical and Instrument Workers Organizing Committee, CIO, be, and it hereby is, dismissed. *Houston, Reynplds , and Burdock 1 81 N.
