HELPERS OF AMERICA, PETITIONER
Case No. 4-KC-571.-Decided April 17, 1950
DECISION
AND
ORDER
Upon a petition duly filed, a hearing was held in this case on Jan-
uary 17, 1950, before Harold Kowal, 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
Styles].
Upon the entire record in this case, the Board finds :
1. The Employer is a partnership engaged in the wholesale dis-
tribution of stair parts and oak flooring. It operates a warehouse
and office at Metuchen, New Jersey, where it has a total of five em
ployees. It annually purchases stair parts, flooring, molding, sills,,
saddles, and similar items worth more than $100,000, all of which is.
shipped to it directly from out of State. The annual sales are also in
excess of $100,000 and are made at wholesale to dealers in lumber
and building supplies exclusively in the State of New Jersey.
Without deciding whether the Employer's operations affect com-
merce within the meaning of the Act, we believe that its operations are
essentially local and that it would not effectuate the purposes and.
policies of the Act to assert jurisdiction in this case .' Accordingly
we shall dismiss the petition herein.
ORDER
It is hereby ordered that the petition filed in the instant proceeding:
be, and it hereby is, dismissed.
