Iri,the Matter of RAY-LYON Co., INC., EMPLOYER and RETAIL, WHOLE- SALE & DEPARTMENT STORE UNION, CIO, PETITIONER Case No. 10-RC-530.-Decided May 11, 1949 DECISION AND ORDER Upon a petition duly filed, hearing in this case was held at Atlanta, Georgia, on March 29, 1949, before LeRoy W. C. Mather, hearing officer. 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-member panel [Members Reynolds, Murdock, and Gray]. Upon the entire record in this case, the National Labor Relations Board makes the following : FINDINGS of FACT THE BUSINESS OF THE EMPLOYER The Employer,, a Georgia corporation, is engaged in the manufac- ture of dental restoratory devices for the dental profession. Its office and laboratory is-located at Atlanta, Georgia. During the year 1948, the Employer, purchased raw materials valued in excess of $50,000, of which approximately 15 percent was received from points outside the State of Georgia. During the same period the Employer sold finished products valued in excess of $100,000, of which approximately 10 percent was shipped to points outside the State of Georgia. The Employer does not admit that it is engaged in commerce within the meaning of the National Labor Relations Act. While we do not find that the operations of the Employer are wholly unrelated to com- merce, we are of the opinion that as that relationship is remote and these operations are essentitally local in character, to assert jurisdic- tion in this case would not effectuate the policies of the Act.' The petition, therefore, will be dismissed. 1 Matter of Pan-American Optical Company, 79 N. L. R. B. 1237. 83 N. L. R.
