BETHLEHEM STEEL CORPORATION
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. THE BUSINESS OF THE RESPONDENTS s
947
Bethlehem Steel Company, a Pennsylvania corporation, having its
general offices in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, is engaged, among other
things, in the business of producing and selling finished and semi-
finished iron and steel, building and repairing ships, building railroad
cars, mining iron ore, quarrying limestone, producing bituminous coal,
coke, and foundry sand, and fabricating and erecting structural steel.
The Company, a subsidiary of Bethlehem Steel Corporation, a Dela-
ware corporation, operates iron- and steel-producing plants at Bethle-
hem, Johnstown, Lebanon, Steelton and Danville, and Coatesville,
Pennsylvania, at Wilmington, Delaware, at Sparrows Point, Mary-
land, at Lackawanna and Blasdell, New York, at Seattle, Washing-
ton, and at South San Francisco and Los Angeles, California, and it
operates a wire-rope plant at Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and a wire-
strand plant at Sparrows Point, Maryland. The Company also oper-
ates several structural steel fabricating works, including a plant at
Alameda, California. The tables in Appendix A hereto annexed set
forth the operations of each of the above plants and include data as to
the extent of the shipments into each plant of materials and fuel which
originated outside the State in which the plant is located, and the ex-
tent of the shipments of products from each plant to destinations out-
side the State in which the plant is located.'
The Company is the only iron-and steel-producing subsidiary of
Bethlehem Steel Corporation, a Delaware corporation,- which owns
100 per cent of the voting power in the Company, disregarding direc-
tors' shares. Nine of the 13 officers of the Corporation are also officers
of the Company. The Corporation also owns, directly or through
subsidiaries, 50 per cent or more of the stock of 57 other companies,
and with its subsidiary companies constitutes an interstate enterprise
of vast proportions.
We find that the above-described operations of the respondents
constitute a continuous flow of trade, traffic, and commerce among the
several States. -
II. THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED
Steel Workers Organizing Committee ; Steel Workers Organizing
Committee, Lodge No. 1069; and Lodge 1208, Amalgamated Associa-
8 The facts set forth in this section are based largely on Board Exhibit 282 referred to
in the stipulation of May 26, 1939 , above. Schedule A annexed hereto is copied from
Board Exhibit 282.

plants covers the full calendar year of 1936, a period during which operations in the steel
industry of the United States as a whole and operations in the plants and properties of
the Company and of other subsidiary companies of the Corporation were reasonably
representative of normal operations therein.
