Case No. 32-IBC-1224.
August 11, 1959
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-member panel [Members Rodgers, Bean, and
Fanning].
Upon the entire record in this case, the Board finds :
The Employer, a Tennessee corporation operates a bowling alley
and billiards establishment in Memphis, Tennessee, and in 1958, had
a gross business of approximately $300,000, of which only a nominal
amount was received from out of the State of Tennessee. Thus, the
Employer on the above basis fails to meet our current jurisdictional
standards for retail establishments.'
However, the Petitioner contends that the Employer and another
corporation, Malco Theatres, Inc.,2 are integrated enterprises so as to
constitute a single employer for the purposes of the Act.
M. A.
Lightman, Jr., is president of Malco and of the Employer and four
'Carolina Supplies and Cement Co., 122 NLTIB 88. Cf. Magic Mountain, Inc., 123
NLRB 1170.
2 Malco Theatres ,
Inc.,
a Tennessee corporation owns or controls approximately 45
theatres In various States and does a gross volume of business in excess of $500,000
yearly.

of the five officers of Malco are also officers of the Employer. In addi-
tion, the two corporations have common stockholders.
However,
Malco itself owns no stock in the Employer's corporation, and the
record shows, Malco had no connection with the organization of the
Employer nor has it ever contributed financial or other support to it.
The only connection between the two corporations, beyond the fact
of common officers and stockholders, is that Malco performs account-
ing service for the Employer for which it is paid a fee, deriving a
reasonable profit therefrom.
There is no interchange of employees,
no common labor policies or benefits, nor does Malco exercise any
authority or control over the manager of the Employer who actively
operates the establishment and who hires and fires employees, inde-
pendently of Malco.
We conclude from the foregoing that the Em-
ployer herein operates independently and not as part of an integrated
enterprise, which has centralized management and control over its
labor relations policies.
Accordingly, we find that the Employer and
Malco Theatres, Inc., do not constitute a single employer within the
meaning of the Act.'
We shall therefore dismiss the petition.
