I. 0., filed with the Regional Director for the Fifteenth Region (New Orleans, Louisiana ) five petitions alleging that questions affecting commerce had arisen concerning the representation of employees of Barclay Compress Co., Inc., herein called Barclay, Shippers' Compress & Ware- 11 N. L. R. B., No. 85. 1014 BARCLAY COMPRESS CO., INC., ET AL. 1015 house, Inc., herein called Shippers', Cotton Trade Warehouses, Inc., herein called Cotton Trade, Federal Compress & Warehouse Co., herein called Federal, and New Orleans Compress, Inc., herein called New Orleans Compress, and requesting investigations and certifica- tions of representatives pursuant to Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat. 449, herein called the Act. On Novem- ber 2, 1938, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called the Board, acting pursuant to Section 9 (c) of the Act and Article III, Section 3, of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations- Series 1, as amended, ordered an investigation and authorized the Regional Director to conduct it and to provide for an appropriate hearing upon due notice. The Board, acting pursuant to Article III, Section 10 (c) (2), of said Rules and Regulations, further ordered the afore-mentioned cases to be consolidated for the purpose of hearing. On January 17, 1939, the Regional Director issued notices of hear- ing, copies of which were duly served upon all the companies with respect to whose employees the I. L. W. U. had filed petitions, as described above. Copies of the notices of hearing were also served upon the I. L. W. U.; International Longshoremen's Association, herein called the I. L. A.; and the American Federation of Labor, herein called the A. F. of L. On January 24, 1939, notice of post- ponement of hearing and on January 26, 1939, notice of advancement of hearing were served upon all the parties upon whom the original notice of hearing had been served. Pursuant to notice, a hearing was held on February 9, 1939, at New Orleans, Louisiana, before William R. Ringer, the Trial Examiner duly designated by the Board. The Board, Shippers', New Orleans Compress, Cotton Trade, Federal Compress, the I. L. W. U., and the I. L. A. were represented and participated in the hearing., Full opportunity to be heard, to examine and cross-examine witnesses, and to introduce evidence bearing on the issues was afforded all parties. During the course of the hearing, the Trial Examiner made several rulings on motions. The Board has reviewed the rulings of the Trial Examiner and finds that no prejudicial errors were committed. The rulings are hereby affirmed. Upon the entire record in the case, the Board makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. THE BUSINESS OF THE COMPANIES Barclay Compress Co., Inc., is a Louisiana corporation having its principal office and place of business in New Orleans, Louisiana, and 'Barclay appeared at the hearing, but later withdrew its appearance. 1016 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD is engaged in the business of receiving, weighing, sampling, compress- ing, storing, and delivering cotton at its plant located in New Orleans, for account of the owners of the cotton. The total capacity of the warehouse is approximately 60,000 bales of high-density compressed cotton. During the period from May 1 to December 31, 1938, 61,600 bales of cotton and cotton linters were received by Barclay. Ap- proximately 33 per cent of this amount was shipped to the New Orleans plant from States other than the State of Louisiana. Ap- proximately 99 per cent of the cotton delivered by Barclay is shipped by its owners outside the State of Louisiana. Most of the railroads grant transit and warehousing privileges on cotton received at and shipped from Barclay. The company employs from 46 to 111 men during the peak season and approximately 17 to 60 employees during the off season. The peak season is from September through December. Shippers' Compress & Warehouse, Inc., is a Louisiana corporation with its principal office and place of business in South Port, Louisi- ana, and is engaged in the business of receiving, weighing, compress- ing, storing, and shipping cotton. The company operates a compress unit in South Port and three warehouses in New Orleans, Louisiana. The three warehouses have a capacity of 95,000 bales of high-density cotton. During the year 1938 Shippers' handled approximately 45,000 bales of cotton, of which 25 to 30 per cent came from States other than the State of Louisiana. Approximately 99 per cent of the cotton handled by Shippers' is shipped outside the State of Louisiana. Cotton Trade Warehouses, Inc., is a Louisiana corporation having its principal office and place of business in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is engaged in the business of receiving, weighing, sampling, com- pressing, storing, and delivering cotton at its plant located in New Orleans for account of the owners of the cotton. The total capacity of its warehouse is approximately 100,000 bales of high-density com- pressed cotton. During the year 1938 approximately 64,000 bales of cotton were received by the company, of which approximately 33 per cent were shipped to it from States other than the State of Louisiana. Eighty per cent of the cotton delivered by the company is shipped by its owners outside the State of Louisiana. Most of the railroads grant transit and warehousing privileges on cotton received at and shipped from Cotton Trade. The company employs from 35 to 100 men during the peak season and approximately 20 to 50 men during the off season. The peak season is from September through December. Federal Compress & Warehouse Co. is a Delaware corporation hav- ing its principal office and place of business in Memphis, Tennessee. It BARCLAY COMPRESS CO., INC., ET AL. 1017 maintains an office and plants in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is engaged in the business of receiving, weighing, sampling, compress- ing, storing, and shipping cotton at its plants in New Orleans. Fed- eral operates one warehouse and one compress unit in New Orleans. The total capacity of this warehouse is 60,000 bales of high-density cotton. During the year 1938 the company handled in its New Orleans plants approximately 38,000 bales of cotton, of which 80 per cent was shipped to it from States other than the State of Louisiana. Approximately 99 per cent of the cotton handled by the company is shipped outside the State of Louisiana. The Interstate Commerce Commission allows transit privileges on shipments by rail to and from the plants of the company. The company employs from 65 to 70 men during the peak season and approximately 25 to 30 part-time employees during the off season. The peak season is from October through December. New Orleans Compress, Inc., is a Louisiana corporation having its principal office and place of business in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is engaged in the business of receiving, weighing, sampling, com- pressing, storing, and shipping cotton at its plants located in New Orleans, Louisiana. The company operates five warehouses and two compress units in New Orleans. The total capacity of these ware- houses is 405,000 bales of high-density cotton. During the 1937-1938 season the company handled approximately 600,000 bales of cotton, of which 662/, per cent was shipped to its plants from States other than the State of Louisiana. Approximately 90 per cent of the cotton handled by New Orleans Compress is shipped by its owners outside the State of Louisiana. The Interstate Commerce Commission allows transit privileges on all shipments by rail to and from the plants of the company. The company employs from 700 to 750 men during the peak season and approximately 90-to 100 employees during the off season. The peak season is from October through December. II. THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED International Longshoremen & Warehousemen's Union is a labor organization affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, admitting to its membership employees of each of the companies. International Longshoremen's Association is a labor organization affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, likewise admitting to its membership employees of the companies. III. THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION At the hearing a stipulation was entered into by the Board, Ship- pers', Cotton Trade, Federal, New Orleans Compress, the I. L. W. U., and the I. L. A. that questions concerning representation exist by 1018 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD virtue of the claims of both the I. L. W. U. and the I. L. A. to repre- sent a majority of employees in the respective appropriate units, and that the employers, Shippers', Cotton Trade, Federal, and New Orleans Compress, desire to have. the Board certify the union which represents a majority of their employees before negotiating with either the I. L. W. U. or the I. L. A. in respect to wages, hours, and working conditions. We find that questions have arisen concerning representation of employees of Shippers', Cotton Trade, Federal, and New Orleans Compress. Barclay did not sign this stipulation, taking the position that it had no interest in the matter, regarding it as something to be decided by the employees. Although afforded the opportunity, Barclay did not contest the allegations of the petition that a question affecting commerce had arisen concerning the representation of its employees. Furthermore, although it refused to sign the stipulation, A. G. Ball, Barclay's representative, did subscribe as correct a list of its em- ployees who would be eligible to vote in an election if ordered. Under these circumstances, we find that a question has arisen con- cerning representation of employees of Barclay. IV. THE EFFECT OF THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION UPON COMMERCE We find that the questions concerning representation which have arisen, occurring in connection with the operations of the companies described in Section I above, have a close, intimate, and substantial relation to trade, traffic, and commerce among the several States, and tend to lead to labor disputes burdening and obstructing commerce and the free flow of commerce. V. THE APPROPRIATE UNITS The parties, with the exception of Barclay, stipulated that the employees of each of the employers who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, excluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, consti- tute separate appropriate units for the purposes of collective bar- gaining. We see no reason to alter the agreed unit. We find that the employees of Shippers', Cotton Trade, Federal, and New Orleans Compress, who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, ex- cluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, constitute separate units appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining, and that said units will insure to employees of Shippers', Cotton Trade, Fed- BARCLAY COMPRESS CO., INC., ET AL. 1019 eral, and New Orleans Compress the full benefit of their right to self-organization and to collective bargaining and otherwise effec- tuate the policies of the Act. As we have pointed out, Barclay did not sign this stipulation. It appears, however, that its employees are engaged in work identical in nature to those of the other companies. Furthermore, the stipu- lation is merely a clarification of the units alleged in the petitions to be appropriate. Consequently, we shall find a similar unit appro- priate for the employees of Barclay. We find that the employees of Barclay who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common la- borers, excluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, consti- tute a unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining and that said unit will insure to employees of Barclay the full benefit of their right to self-organization and to collective bargaining and otherwise effectuate the policies of the Act. VI. THE DETERMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVES Both the I. L. W. U. and the I. L. A. claim to represent a ma- jority of the employees in the appropriate units in each of the five companies. At the hearing, however, no conclusive showing was made substantiating either claim. By stipulation it was agreed that the question concerning representation among Shippers', Cotton Trade, Federal, and New Orleans Compress could best be resolved by the holding of elections by secret ballot. Although Barclay did not sign this stipulation, it appears that the question concerning representation among its employees must likewise be resolved by an election. We find, accordingly, that the questions which have arisen con- cerning the representation of employees of Barclay, Shippers', Cotton Trade, Federal, and New Orleans Compress can best be resolved by the holding of elections by secret ballot. The parties with the ex- ception of Barclay agreed, and we shall direct, that all employees in the above-described appropriate units, whose names have appeared on the pay roll of any of the employers five times in the period from August 1 to December 31, 1938, shall be eligible to vote.2 Each of the five employers submitted pay rolls containing the names of the employees eligible to vote, prepared in accordance with the above- described criterion. Employees listed in Appendix A, attached hereto, are eligible to vote in the election for employees of Barclay; in Appendix B, attached hereto, for Shippers'; in Appendix C, at- 2 At the bearing, a representative of Cotton Trade testified that he believed a longer eligibility period would be more desirable. Cotton Trade, however, signed the stipulation consenting to the eligibility requirements which we have adopted. 1020 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD tached hereto, for Cotton Trade; in Appendix D, attached hereto, for Federal; and in Appendix E, attached hereto, for New Orleans Compress. At the hearing it was agreed that, in the event elections should be ordered, neither the I. L. W. U. nor the 1. L. A. would ap- pear on the ballots, but the employees would have a choice between the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L., the parent bodies, respectively, of each labor organization. Upon the basis of the above findings of fact and upon the entire record in the case, the Board makes the following : CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. Questions affecting commerce have arisen concerning the rep- resentation of employees of Barclay Compress Co., Inc., Cotton Trade Warehouses, Inc., Federal Compress & Warehouse Co., and New Orleans Compress, Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana, and Shippers' Compress & Warehouse, Inc., South Port and New Orleans, Louisi- ana, within the meaning of Section 9 (c) and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the National Labor Relations Act. 2. The employees of each company who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common labor- ers, excluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, constitute separate appropriate units for the purposes of collective bargaining, within the meaning of Section 9 (b) of the National Labor Relations Act. DIRECTION OF ELECTIONS By virtue of and pursuant to the power vested in the National Labor Relations Board by Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Rela- tions Act, 49 Stat. 449, and pursuant to Article III, Section 8, of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series 1, as amended, it is hereby DIRECTED that, as a part of the investigation ordered by the Board to ascertain representatives for the purposes of collective bargaining with Barclay Compress Co., Inc., Cotton Trade Warehouses, Inc., Federal Compress & Warehouse Co., and New Orleans Compress, Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana, and with Shippers' Compress & Ware- house, Inc., South Port and New Orleans, Louisiana, elections by secret ballot shall be conducted within thirty (30) days from the date of this Direction under the direction and supervision of the Regional Director for the Fifteenth Region, acting in this matter as agent for the National Labor Relations Board, and subject to Article III, Section 9, of said Rules and Regulations, as follows : (1) an elec- tion shall be conducted among the employees listed in Appendix A at Barclay Compress Co., Inc., who are drivers, press hands (tyers, BARCLAY COMPRESS CO., INC., ET AL. 1021 head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, ex- cluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, to determine whether they desire to be represented by the C. I. O. or the A. F. of L. for the purposes of collective bargaining, or by neither; (2) an elec- tion shall be conducted among the employees listed in Appendix B at Shippers' Compress & Warehouse, Inc., who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, excluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, to de- termine whether they desire to be represented by the C. I. O. or the A. F. of L. for the purposes of collective bargaining, or by neither; (3) an election shall be conducted among the employees listed in Appendix C at Cotton Trade Warehouses, Inc., who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, excluding supervisory, office, or clerical employees, to determine whether they desire to be represented by the C. I. O. or the A. F. of L. for the purposes of collective bargaining, or by neither; (4) an election shall be conducted among the employees listed in Appendix D at Federal Compress & Warehouse Co., who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, excluding supervisory, office, or cler- ical employees, to determine whether they desire to be represented by the C. I. O. or the A. F. of L. for the purposes of collective bar- gaining, or by neither; (5) an election shall be conducted among the employees listed in Appendix E at New Orleans Compress, Inc., who are drivers, press hands (tyers, head sewers, and bond reefers), samplers, and common laborers, excluding supervisory, office, or cler- ical employees, to determine whether they desire to be represented by the C. I. O. or the A. F. of L. for the purposes of collective bar- gaining, or by neither.
