DECISION AND ORDER
Upon a petition duly filed under Section 9 (c) of the National Labor

prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed.

75 percent of which came from points outside the State of New Jersey,
and (b) machinery in excess of $2,500 in value, all of which came from

between $50,000 and $55,000 for the printing of 7 newspapers with
a total circulation of 39,400, all within New Jersey. Also during the
