DECISION, ORDER, AND DIRECTION OF ELECTIONS
Upon petitions duly filed under Section 9(c) of the National Labor
Relations Act, hearings were held before Louis S. Eberhardt, hearing
officer.4 The hearing officer's rulings made at the hearings are free
from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed.
Pursuant to the provisions of Section 3(b) of the Act, the Board
has delegated its powers in connection with these cases to a three-
member panel [Chairman Leedom and Members Bean and Fanning].
Upon the entire record in these cases,5 the Board finds :
1. The petitions request elections among employees working aboard
vessels operating out of San Pedro, California, harbor, engaged in
1 Herein called the Association or the Co-op. The petition in Case No. 21-RD-457, as
amended, also designated as employers the individual boatowners listed in Appendix A
attached hereto.
z Herein called Seine and Line.
s Herein called Local 33.
4 The decertification petitions in Cases Nos. 21-RD-454, 21-RD-455, 21-RD-457, and
21-RD-462 were consolidated by the Regional Director of the Twenty-first Region, and
a 10-day hearing was held on the consolidated cases in January and February 1960. The
hearing in Case No. 21-RC-6233 was conducted separately on March 9, 1960. Seine
and Line has moved that Case No. 21-RC-6233 be consolidated with the decertification
proceeding. As the parties involved in Case No. 21-RC-6233 agreed to incorporation
therein of the record in the decertification cases, and as the appropriate unit placement
of the employees involved in Case No. 21-RC-6233 has been raised as an issue in the
decertification proceeding, we hereby grant Seine and Line's motion to consolidate the
representation cases for decisional purposes. Seine and Line also moved to consolidate
herewith 'Case No. 21-CB-879. We find, however, that it would not effectuate the policies
of the Act to delay proceedings in the instant representation cases pending resolution of
the issues in the unfair labor practice proceeding. See Erist Gradi8, et ai., 121 NLRB
601, 615. This motion is therefore denied.
O The request of Seine and Line for oral argument is denied, as the record and Seine
and Line's brief adequately present the issues and the positions of the parties.

fishing for tuna, sardines, or mackerel in the Pacific Ocean, and selling
their catches to canneries in the Los Angeles area. No current com-
merce evidence was adduced with respect to the Co-op-Seine and Line
multiemployer unit requested in Case No. 21-RD-457, as none of the
employer-members thereof appeared voluntarily, and most of them
failed to appear in response to subpenas served upon them.6 We
shall, however, base our jurisdictional findings as to these Employers
upon the facts set forth in a prior case involving the same multi-
employer unit, Krist Gradis, et al., 121 NLRB 601, of which we take
official notice,' as supplemented by the record herein. We find that
the employer-members of the Co-op-Seine and Line unit found appro-
priate below constitute a single employer for jurisdictional purposes,
and that their combined outflow as a group, during the year 1955 to
1956, exceeded $50,000. We therefore find that this Employer is
engaged in commerce and that it will effectuate the policies of the
Act to assert jurisdiction over it.
As we find below that Tramarancio, Inc., and Frank Trama, owners
of the Little Joe, may not appropriately be included in the Co-op-
Seine and Line unit and, as there is no commerce evidence as to this
vessel on an individual basis in this record or in the Krist Gradis
case, we shall dismiss the petition as to it.
As we also find below, contrary to the Petitioner in Case No. 21-RD-
457, Mike Trama and Santa Trama of the Sandy Boy may not appro-
priately be included in the Co-op-Sein and Line unit. With respect
to Local 33's request for an election in a separate unit of employees
of this vessel in Case No. 21-RD-6233, the record shows that during
the calendar year 1959, the indirect outflow of the Sandy Boy
amounted to less than $50,000. Accordingly, as the operations of this
vessel during the most recent period for which figures are available
did not meet the Board's jurisdictional standard for indirect outflow,
and there is no other basis for the assertion of jurisdiction, we find
that it will not effectuate the policies of the Act to assert jurisdiction
over this vessel, and we shall also dismiss the petitions as to it.
Although we further find below that the Mercury (Seamaster) may
not appropriately be included in the Co-op-Seine and Line unit, as
requested by the Petitioner in Case No. 21-RD-457, we find that it
does constitute an appropriate single-vessel unit. The owner of this
vessel , Joe Lauro, did not appear at the hearing, although he received
notice. The record in Krist Gradis shows, however, that he had an
outflow of $84,915 during the period October 1955 to October 1956.
Under these circumstances, we find that this Employer is engaged in
9 Seine and Line's request for enforcement of such subpenas is denied, as we find suffi-
cient warrant under these circumstances for asserting jurisdiction . See Tropscana
Products , Inc, 122 NLRB 121, 123

etc., 107 NLRB 295, 296.
64 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
commerce and that it will effectuate the policies of the Act to assert
jurisdiction over it on an individual basis.
The record in the instant proceeding shows that the outflow of
Nick Trutanich and John Vilicich, owners of the Sunbeam, John
Vilicich, owner of the California, and Frank Iacono, owner of the
Branlcie Boy, designated in Cases Nos. 21-RD-454, 21-RD-45,5, and
21-RD-462, respectively, and found below to constitute appropriate
separate individual-employer units, currently exceeds $50,000 an-
nually. We therefore find that these Employers are engaged in com-
merce, and that it will effectuate the policies of the Act to assert
jurisdiction over them.
2. In the decertification cases, the Petitioner asserts that Seine and
Line, the certified and recognized bargaining representative of the
employees designated therein, is no longer their representative as
defined in Section 9 (a) of the Act.'
Seine and Line contends that both the Petitioner and San Pedro
Independent Fishermen's Union,' which intervened on the basis of a
showing of interest, are fronting for Local 33, and that the Independ-
ent is not a labor organization within the meaning of the Act. Assum-
ing arguendo that the decertification petitions were filed on behalf of
Local 33, such fact would be no impediment to the filing of such
petitions by the Petitioner.1° As to the Independent, the record
demonstrates that it is a recently formed organization of employees
which exists for the purpose of bargaining with employers on their
behalf. Moreover, the interest showing presented by the Independent
demonstrates that it has a real interest in these proceedings.ll
Accordingly, we find that Seine and Line and the Independent are
labor organizations within the meaning of Section 2(5) of the Act,
and are entitled to intervene herein.
3. Questions affecting commerce exist concerning the representation
of employees of the Employers within the meaning of Section 9 (c) (1)
and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the Act.12
8 Seine and Line contends that the Board ' s Regional Office failed to investigate properly
the showing of interest. We find no merit in this contention The investigation of inter-
est showing is an administrative matter not litigable by the parties. 0 D Jennings &
Company, 68 NLRB 516 Moreover , we are administratively satisfied that the interest
showing is adequate

through a subpoena duces tecurn served on the secretary -business agent of the Independent
requiring production of the Independent ' s constitution and bylaws and the minutes of its
organizational meeting, and a subpoena ad testifcandum directed to two members of the
Independent who, Seine and Line alleged , are former members of Local 33 , is therefore
irrelevant, and the hearing officer's revocation of the former, and refusal to continue the
hearing for the purpose of serving the latter, subpena was proper.
'a Seine and Line contends that its alleged current contracts with the Employers cover-
ing the employees involved constitute a bar to elections at this time Seine and Line
did not, however , introduce , or seek to introduce , the alleged contracts into evidence.
Under these circumstances, we find that there is no contract bar to immediate elections.
FISHERMAN'S COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATION, ET AL., ETC. 65
4. In Case No. 21-RD-457, the Petitioner requests an election in
a multiemployer unit certified by the Board in October 1958 in Krist
Gradis, supra, referred to as the Co-op-Seine and Line unit. The Co-
op, as well as the Independent, agree that the unit requested is appro-
priate for decertification purposes, and contend that the method of
bargaining between the Co-op members as a group and Seine and Line
has not changed since the certification. The Petitioner testified that
he was a member of the Seine and Line committee which negotiated
the annual supplementary sardine agreement 13 in October and No-
vember 1958, and that negotiations were conducted on the same group
basis as obtained prior to the certification.
Seine and Line, on the other hand, contends that the certified unit is
no longer in existence but was abandoned by the employer-members
of the Co-op and Seine and Line, mutually, in.July 1959 when they
allegedly negotiated and executed new collective-bargaining agree-
ments on an individual-employer basis. However, Seine and Line did
not introduce into evidence copies of the alleged contracts, or present
any evidence as to the circumstances surrounding their negotiation
and execution in support of these contentions. Under these circum-
stances, including the certification of the Co-op-Seine and Line unit
and the affirmative evidence that the parties have engaged in bargain-
ing on this basis since the certification on October 28, 1958, and in
the absence of any probative evidence to the contrary, we find that
the record does not support Seine and Line's contention that multi-
employer bargaining has been mutually abandoned by the parties.14
Seine and Line also contends that the unit is inappropriate because
its membership has changed and does not at present consist of the
identical employers who were included at the time of the certification.
We find no merit in this contention. The fact that some individual
employers have dropped out and others have joined the unit does not
11 For the effect of such yearly supplements on wages, see Krist Gradn.s, supra, at p. COG.
14 See Krtst Gradss, supra, at p. 612 . Seine and Line contends that it was not per-
mitted to present evidence on the unit issue because of the refusal of the hearing officer
and the Board ( on interlocutory appeal ) to enforce its subpenas ad testificanduan on the
boatowner-employers , and by the hearing officer ' s allegedly abrupt closing of the bearing.
We find no merit in these contentions There is no indication that the boatowners
would have testified to the abandonment of the multiemployer unit even if they had
appeared . On the contrary , the Co-op manager , who appeared at the hearing as repre-
sentative of the Co-op and of the Employers named in the original petition , took the
position that such was not the case, and offered to testify to that effect. In addition,
three of the subpenaed boatowners did appear However , Seine and Line failed to elicit
testimony from either the Co-op manager or the boatowners who appeared Further,
even though the hearing was convened on 10 different days over a 2 -month period , during
which the unit question was at issue , Seine and Line failed to elicit testimony in support
of its contentions from its own representative , who presumably would have been privy to
any mutual abandonment of group bargaining, even though the Petitioner and Independent
suggested , on several occasions , that such testimony be presented Indeed, the Petitioner
served a subpena on the Seine and Line representative and the hearing officer specifically
invited him to take the stand on the last day of the hearing, in an attempt to obtain his
testimony , but he declined , on advice of counsel, to testify.
66 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
render inappropriate the certified multiemployer unit of all employers
who presently participate in joint bargaining.'5
We therefore find that the requested Co-op-Seine and Line unit is
appropriate.
The parties are in dispute as to which employers are included in the
Co-op-Seine and Line unit . Except as otherwise specifically discussed
hereinafter , there is no evidence that any of the employer -members of
the Co-op who were included in the multiemployer unit established
in the Krist Gradis decision have individually abandoned multi-
employer bargaining at an appropriate time," or that any of such
employer-members who were not included in that unit have been
accepted as participants in such multiemployer bargaining ." More-
over, as the Board has held, in a decertification proceeding it is the
existing unit which is-the appropriate unit.i8 In these circumstances
we find that, except as specifically set forth hereinafter , the unit herein
consists of the employees of the employer -members of the Co-op who
were included in the unit in the Krist Gradis decision.19
The Petitioner requests inclusion of Anthony Pisano of the Lucy
Ann, previously included in the Co-op-Seine and Line unit in Krist
Gradis. Although there is some indication that this Employer may
have withdrawn from the Co -op-Seine and Line unit , there is no pro-
bative evidence to that effect . Under these circumstances , we find, for
the reasons set forth above, that the crew of the Lucy Ann remains
part of the unit.

The following Employers were not requested in the amended petition; although they
were previously included in the Co-op-Seine and Line unit in the Krtst Grades decision,
we find, in the absence of objection by the parties herein, that they should now be
excluded for the reasons indicated • (1) Deleted by Board Order dated September 24,
1958. Bill Horner, American Venture, Ratsumi Ryono and/or John Ryono, Patriotic,

tion Toni Nishida, Gaviota. (3) Deleted by agreement of parties herein Anton Misetich,
.Anthony M (withdrawn from unit) ; Anthony E. Lucido, E S Lucido (sunk). We
shall also exclude, in accord with the agreement of the parties herein, Frank Trama
(NY), which was added to the unit by the Board Order of September 24, 1958, and
included in the certified unit, but is no longer fishing in the San Pedro area. The
aforesaid Board Order also substituted Angelo Logrande, Twin Brother, for Andrea
and/or Andrew Spinoza, Robert H, which had been included in the unit in the Krist
Grades decision Although the Twin Brother (or Twin Brothers) was included in the
certified unit, it no longer fishes in the San Pedro area, and we shall, in accord with the
agreement of the parties herein, exclude this vessel

individuals and corporations designated therein are Employers within the meaning of
,Section 2(2) of the Act.

Cosmo Santo of the Bella Marie, also referred to as the Bella Maria,
was included in the Co-op-Seine and Line unit in the Board's decision
in Krist Gradis. At the time of the election, however, Santo employed
no employees on this vessel. The Regional Director therefore without
objection conducted no election on this vessel, and did not include it
in the certified unit. The evidence herein shows that this vessel is
currently engaged regularly, during the sardine season, in fishing for
sardines for delivery to San Pedro canneries and recognizes the Seine
and Line union. Under all the circumstances, therefore, we shall, as
requested by the Petitioner, again include the Bella Marie in the
Co-op-Seine and Line unit, and its employees, if any, may vote in
the election.
The Petitioner requests inclusion of the Maria, owned by Antonio
Pilato, Theodore Lucich, and Nick Vuoso, which was not included
in the Co-op-Seine and Line unit in the Krist Gradis decision2° How-
ever, the record establishes that the owners of this vessel have, since
that time, engaged in group bargaining as part of the unit. Accord-
ingly, we shall include the crew of the Maria in the unit.
The Petitioner requested inclusion of Gaspari Guarrasi, owner of
the Kantiki. This Employer was not included in the certified Co-op-
Seine and Line unit, and there is no evidence that he recognizes Seine
and Line as the representative of his employees or bargains through
the Co-op. We shall therefore dismiss the decertification petition
as to the Kantiki.
The Petitioner requests that the Little Joe, which was not included
in the Co-op-Seine and Line unit by the Krist Gradis decision, now
be added thereto. The record indicates Tramarancio, Inc., and Frank
Trama are the owners of the Little Joe, and Frank Trama is the mas-
ter. Although there is some evidence that Frank Trama is a member
of the Co-op and recognizes Seine and Line as bargaining representa-
tive for this vessel, there is no evidence that he engages in group
bargaining as part of this multiemployer unit. We shall therefore
exclude this Employer from the Co-op-Seine and Line unit. As the
operations of this Employer, on an individual basis, do not fall within
the Board's jurisdictional standards, as found in paragraph 2 above,
we shall, as stated therein, dismiss the petition as to it.
The Petitioner in Case No. 21-RD-457 requests inclusion in the
Co-op-Seine and Line unit of Mike Trama and Santo Trama, owners
of the Sandy Boy. Local 33, Seine and Line, and the Employer, in
Case No. 21-RC-6233, contend that the employees of this vessel consti-
tute a separate appropriate unit. In the Krist Gradis case, a separate
unit was requested for the predecessor to this vessel, the Fisherman.
20 In Krsst Gradis, a separate , single-boat unit was requested for the Maria, owned at
that time by John Alioto , but the petition was dismissed as to this vessel on jurisdictional
grounds.
68 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
It was excluded from the Co-op-Seine and Line unit in that decision,
and the petition was dismissed as to it on jurisdictional grounds. The
record herein indicates that, at the time of the hearings in the instant
proceedings, this Employer was a member of the Co-op and recog-
nized Seine and Line as representative of its employees. However,
there is no evidence that the Employer engages in group bargaining.
We shall therefore exclude it from the Co-op-Seine and Line unit. As
we have found in paragraph 2 above that the Employer's operations,
on an individual basis, did not fall within the Board's jurisdictional
standards during the most recent period for which figures are avail-
able, we shall, as indicated therein, dismiss the petition as to the
Sandy Boy.
The Petitioner also requests inclusion in the multiemployer unit of
Joseph A. Ferrante, owner of the A. A. Ferrante, and Sal Genovese,
owner of the Endeavor, which Employers were excluded from the
Co-op-Seine and Line unit in Krist Gradis on the ground that they
had been included in a different multiemployer unit consisting of
employer-members of Monterey Sardine Industries, Inc., who bar-
gained as a group with Seine and Line Fisherman's Union of
Monterey, also affiliated with Seafarers' International Union of
North America, AFL-CIO. Although the parties herein appear to
take the position that the reason for the exclusion of these Employers,
in Krist Gradis, no longer obtains, there is no probative evidence to
that effect. Nor is there probative evidence that, since the certifica-
tion, their employees have been bargained for as part of the unit
involved herein. Under these circumstances, we shall exclude the
crews of the A. A. Ferrante and the Endeavor from the unit. For the
reasons set forth in Krist Grades, we shall dismiss the petition as to
these two Employers.21
The Petitioner requests inclusion in the multiemployer unit of
Joe T. Lauro, owner of the Mercury or Seamaster. The record indi-
cates that Lauro formerly owned the Mercury, but has replaced it with
the Seamaster, which functions, or will function, in the same manner
and employ the same crew ; and that he is a member of the Co-op and
recognizes Seine and Line as the representative of his employees. As
the crew of the Mercury was not included in the unit in Krist Gradis,
and there is no evidence that Lauro engages in group bargaining, we
shall exclude him from the Co-op-Seine and Line unit. The Peti-
tioner requests that the Board proceed with elections in any units
found appropriate. Accordingly, as we have found in paragraph 2,
above, that this Employer's operations fall within the Board's juris-
dictional standards on an individual unit basis, and the Petitioner has
demonstrated an adequate interest in such a unit, we shall direct a
separate election among the crew of the Mercury (Seamaster).

Seine and Line is currently the certified and recognized bargaining
representative of separate single-employer units consisting, respec-
tively, of the crews of the Sunbeam owned by Nick Trutanich and
John Vilicich,22 the California owned by John Vilicich, and the
Frankie Boy owned by Frank Iacono.21 In agreement with the parties
in Cases Nos. 21-RD-454, 21-RD-455, and 21-RD-462, we find that
such separate units are appropriate herein.
Accordingly, we find that the following units are appropriate for
purposes of collective bargaining within the meaning of Section 9(b)
of the Act : 24
A. All fishermen employed on net boats owned or operated by the
Employers who participate in group bargaining through the Fisher-
men's Cooperative Association of San Pedro with Seine and Line,
Fisherman's Union of San Pedro, affiliated with Seafarers' Interna-
tional Union of North America, AFL-CIO, and who regularly engage
in delivering tuna, sardines, or mackerel to canneries located in the
Los Angeles, California, harbor area, as listed in Appendix B, includ-
ing deckmen, cooks, and engineers and assistant engineers not specifi-
cally excluded; but excluding owners, part-owners, charterers, mas-
ters, engineers and assistant engineers who are part-owners or are
paid from the master's share of the catch, and supervisors as defined
in the Act.
B. All fishermen employed by Joe T. Lauro on the vessel Mercury
(Seamaster) including deckmen, cooks, and engineers and assistant
engineers not specifically excluded; but excluding owners, part-
owners, charterers, masters, engineers and assistant engineers who are
part-owners or are paid out of the master's share of the catch, and
supervisors as defined in the Act.
C. All fishermen employed by Nick Trutanich and John Vilicich
on the vessel Sunbeam, including deckmen, cooks, and engineers and
assistant engineers not specifically excluded; but excluding owners,.
part-owners, charterers, masters, engineers and assistant engineers
who are part-owners or are paid out of the master's share of the
catch, and supervisors as defined in the Act.
D. All fishermen employed by John Vilicich on the vessel
California, including deckmen, cooks, and engineers and assistant
engineers not specifically excluded; but excluding owners, part-
owners, charterers, masters, engineers and assistant engineers who
22Vilicich appeared at the bearing and testified that he and Trutanich are coowners
of the Sunbeam.
x' Seine and Line was certified representative of the employees of Frank Iacono, em-
ployed on the vessel Dor Ann, on November 3, 1958. Iacono replaced that boat with the
Frantic Boy in February 1959 and transferred the crew to the latter vessel.
24There is no dispute as to the composition of the units, which conform with the
certified units.
