On February 16, 1940, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called the Board, acting pursuant to Section 9 (c) of the Act and Article III, Sections 3 and 10 (c) (2), of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regula- tions-Series 2, as amended, ordered an investigation upon the peti- tions and authorized the Regional Director to conduct it and to pro- vide for an appropriate hearing on due notice, and further ordered that the above-entitled cases be consolidated. On February 26, 1940, the Regional Director issued a notice of hearing in the consolidated cases, and on February 28 and March 9, 1940, he issued notices of postponement of'hearing, copies of each of which were duly served upon each of the Companies and upon United Furniture Workers of America, Local #262, affiliated with the C. 1. 0., herein called the United, and Furniture Workers Union, Local #1541, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, A. F. of L., herein called the Furniture Workers, labor organizations claiming to represent employees directly affected by the investigation. On March 7, 1940, the Board acting pursuant to Article III, Sec- tion 10 (c) (4), of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Reg- ulations-Series 2, as amended, ordered that the case of John Hoeg Company be severed from the above-mentioned consolidated cases and further that the petition of John Hoey Company be dismissed. ' As set forth below, the petition of John Hoey Company has been dismissed. 1122 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Copies of this order were duly served upon each of the Companies, by their counsel, upon the United, and upon the Furniture Workers. Pursuant to notice, a hearing in the consolidated cases was held on March 21 and 22, 1940, in San Francisco, California, before Albert L. Lohm, the Trial Examiner duly designated by the Board. The Board, the Companies, the United, and the Furniture Workers ap- peared and were represented by counsel 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 af- forded all parties. During the course of the hearing, and after some evidence bearing on the issues had been adduced, the Companies, the United, and the Furniture Workers entered into certain separate stipulations and agreements which were accepted by the Trial Ex- aminer. By these stipulations and agreements all said parties agreed that separate elections should be conducted among certain desig- nated employees of the respective Companies to ascertain representa- tives for the purposes of collective bargaining with each of these Companies. It was further stipulated and agreed that eligibility to vote should be determined by the names appearing on the pay rolls of the respective Companies last preceding the date of the hearing. In view of these stipulations and agreements, we hold that a motion made earlier at the hearing, by the Furniture Workers to dismiss the petitions was abandoned by it upon entering into the stipula- tions and agreements. During the course of the hearing the Trial Examiner made several rulings on motions and on objections to the admission of evidence. The Board has reviewed such rulings and finds that no prejudicial errors were committed. The rulings are hereby affirmed. Upon the entire record in the cases, the Board makes the following : FINDINGS OF FACT I. THE BUSINESSES OF THE COMPANIES A. Dreamland Bedding d Upholstery Co.

THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED United Furniture Workers of America, Local #262, affiliated with the C. I. 0., is a labor organization admitting to membership employees of the Companies. 253033-41-col 22--72 1126 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD Furniture Workers Union, Local #1541, United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America, A. F. of L., is a labor organiza- tion admitting to membership employees of the Companies. III. THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION In view of the stipulations and agreements afore-mentioned re- garding the conduct of elections to determine a statutory representa- tive for employees of each of the Companies, it becomes unnecessary to review, except in one respect, the history of collective bargaining between these Companies and their employees. On July 16, 1938, Furniture and Bedding Manufacturers of San Francisco, an employer association including among its membership the Companies, entered into a collective agreement with the Furniture Workers, providing for recognition of the Furniture Workers as sole collective bargaining agency of all employees within certain work classifications 2 of employer members of the association, for a closed shop in favor of that union, for preferential hiring of union-members by association members, and for wages, hours of service, and other working conditions of these employees. By its terms the agreement was to remain in effect to and including December 31, 1939, and "thereafter from year to year unless either party shall give written notice to the other of at least forty-five (45) days prior to such expiration date of such desire to amend or terminate this agree- ment ..." On November 6, 1939, prior to the expiration of the time within which notice of termination could be given under the above-men- tioned contract, the United notified in writing the Companies, re- spectivel5, that it was the statutory representative of all production and maintenance workers employed by the Companies, respectively, and requested a meeting for collective bargaining purposes looking toward the making of collective agreements with the United to succeed the above-mentioned contract between the association mem- bers and the Furniture Workers in so far as that contract affected these workers. On November 15, 1939, the Furniture Workers' noti- fied in writing the Companies, respectively, that it desired to amend the above-mentioned agreement between itself and the association members in accordance with the terms thereof, and requested a meet- ing to discuss matters pertinent thereto. On November 28, 1938, the Companies filed their respective petitions herein for investigations and certification of representatives, alleging that each had received written demands from both the United and the Furniture Workers that each union was the exclusive collective bargaining representa- 2 These classifications of employees are substantially the same as those contained within the units hereinafter found to be appropriate for collective bargaining. DREAMLAND BEDDING & UPHOLSTERY CO. 1127 tive of employees of such company. On December 11, 1939, the Furniture Workers sent each of the Companies a so-called "with- drawal of notice to amend," stating that it "rescinds, cancels, and withdraws" the notice of November 15, 1939, and that the terms of the above-mentioned agreement of July 16, 1938, were in full force and effect. .. Assuming, without deciding, that such a showing would be relevant, there is no showing-, that such unilateral' action by the Furniture Workers was agreed to by the Companies. Irrespective of whether the agreement between the association members ,and the Furniture Workers remained in effect after the giv- ing of the notice, as above stated, the agreement clearly constitutes no ground for our not proceeding to the elections and certification of representatives. The United notified the Company of its claim to representation prior to the time for automatic renewal of the con- tract.' Moreover, all parties have stipulated that elections should be held.4 We find that questions have arisen concerning representation of employees of the Companies. IV. THE EFFECT OF THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION UPON COMMERCE We find that each of the questions concerning representation which has arisen, occurring in connection with the respective operations of each of the Companies described in Section I above, has a close, intimate,- and, substantial relation, to trade, traffic, and commerce among the several States, and tends to lead to labor disputes burden- ing and obstructing commerce and the free flow of commerce. V. THE APPROPRIATE UNIT The petitions respectively allege that a unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining with each of the respective Com- panies consists of "all production employees in the employ" of such company •at its San Francisco' place of business' "excepting executives, supervisors, clerical [sic] and"f6amsters." At the hearing the Com- panies, the Furniture Workers, the United, and the Board stipulated and agreed that the employees of the respective Companies in the categories hereinafter in this paragraph named constituted units appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining.

Matter of American France Line et al and International Seaman's Union of America, 3 N L R B. 64. 1128' DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD basis of these stipulations and agreements, we find that the employees of each of the Companies, respectively, engaged in the fabricating, repairing, renovating, assembling, or handling of furniture and bedding or parts thereof, including foremen engaged generally as working foremen, helpers, apprentices, maintenance men, and all other workers, but excluding executives, salesmen, truck drivers, gen- eral office employees, shipping clerks, non-working foremen engaged generally in supervisory non-working duties, and foremen who take no part in the fabricating, repairing, renovating, assembling, or handling of furniture, bedding, or parts thereof, constitute a separate unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining and that such unit will insure to employees of such company the full benefit of their right to self-organization and to collective bargaining and otherwise effectuate the policies of the Act; provided, however, that in respect to the unit composed of employees of Paul Spagnoli, an individual doing busines as Dreamland Bedding & Upholstery Co., employees listed in Appendix A5 are not included in said unit. VI. THE DETERMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVES The United and the Furniture Workers made a showing at the hearing of substantial membership in their respective organizations among employees of the several Companies within the units we have found to be appropriate. The parties, as above set forth, have stipu- lated and agreed that separate elections should be held among em- ployees of each of the Companies within the respective appropriate units to ascertain their choice of representatives for the purposes of collective bargaining. We find that the questions which have arisen concerning representation can best be resolved by separate elections by secret ballot. We accordingly shall direct that such elections be held. The parties also stipulated and agreed that all employees in the appropriate units whose names appear on the respective pay rolls of the Companies last preceding the date of the hearing should be eligible to vote in the elections. Accordingly employees whose names appear on the pay roll of each company last preceding the date of the hearing shall be eligible to vote in the respective election, subject to such limi- tations and additions as are set forth in the Direction of Elections. Upon the basis of the above findings of fact and upon the entire record in the cases, the Board makes the following : 8 The parties stipulated and agreed that the 19 employees hereinafter listed in Appendix A should be excluded from the appropriate unit because said employees are covered by a separate written contract with Upholsters' Union, Local 28, AFL.
