Liv- ingston, Trial Examiner. Said hearing was held at New York City on October 22, 26, 28, 29, 30, and November 2, 4, and 9, 1942. The Companies, the C. I. 0., and International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and, Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada, and Film Exchange Employees Union, Local F-51, A. F. -of L., herein together called the A. F. of L., a'j peared, participated, and were afforded full opportunity to be heard, to examine and cross-examine witnesses, and to introduce evidence bearing on the issues. The A.

In view of the findings set forth in Section IV, infra, the'motion is hereby denied., The Trial Examiner's rulings made at the hearing are 'free from prejudicial error and are hereby affirmed. On December 3, 1942, the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L., and, oil December 5, 1942, the Company filed briefs which the Board has considered.2 Upon the entire record in the case,a the Board makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. THE BUSINESS OF I FfE COMPANIES Twentieth-Century Fox Film Corporation is a New York corpora- tion, maintaining its home office in New York City. It is. engaged in the production and distribution of'motion picture films. In connec- tion with the distribution phase oft its business, Twentieth-Century Fox and its subsidiaries maintain exchange offices in 32 cities through- out the United States. During the year 1940, this Company shipped 43 negatives of feature pictures from its California studios to its offices in New York City. From , these ' negatives, approximately 10,750 prints were made and shipped through its exchange offices to all 'A motion was made by, the C 1 0 to strike from the exhibits a copy of a contract between certain motion picture distributors and the A F of L The Tiial Examiner ieseived ruhne The motion to strike is hereby denied z The A F of L also flied a reply brief 11 3 On December 3, 1942. the 'A F of L filed a letter with the Board suggesting the coirection of certain typographical errors in the record The corrections suggested therein are hereby ordered to be made N. Y. EXCHANGE' OF THE TWENTIETH-CENTURY FOX FILM CORP. 877 parts of the United States. Twentieth-Century Fox admits that it is engaged in commerce within the meaning. of the National Labor Relations Act. Loew's Inc. is a Delaware corporation, maintaining its principal- office in New York City. It is engaged in the distribution of mo- tion pictures in every State of the United States through the medium, of 32 exchange offices. During the period from October 1, 1939 to October 1, 1940, Loew's Inc. released 50 feature motion pictures, 70° short subjects, and 104 news reels, the prints of which were shipped, to its various exchanges for distriibution to exhibitors. Loew's Inc. admits that it is engaged in commerce within the meaning of the Act. United Artists Corporation is a Delaware corporation, maintain- ing its home office in New York City. It is engaged in the business of distributing motion picture films and licensing them for exhibi- tion. United Artists maintains exchange offices in the District of Columbia and 15 States through which prints are distributed. It distributes approximately 450 prints annually through these ex- changes. This Company admits that it is engaged in commerce within the meaning of the Act. II. THE ORGANIZATIONS INVOLVED Screen Office-& Professional Employees Guild, Local 109, is a" labor organization affiliated with United Office and Professional Workers,of America and with the Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions. It admits to membership employees of the Companies. International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada is a labor organization affiliated with the" American Federation- of Labor which, through its locals, admits to membership employees of the companies. Film Exchange Employees Union, Local F-51, is a labor organiza- tion affiliated with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada, and with the American Federation of Labor. It admits to membership employees of the Companies. III. THE QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION Each of the three Companies has refused to bargain with the C. I. O. unless and until the C. I. O. is certified by'the Board as the collective bargaining representative of the employees in the unit which the C. I. O. alleges to be appropriate. Statements of the Regional Director, introduced in evidence at the hearing, and a statement of the Trial Examiner made at the hearing, '878 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD - indicate that the C. I. O. represents a substantial number of em- ployees in each of the three units which it contends to be appropriate, and-that the A. F.'of L. represents a substantial Dumber of employees in two of these units.4 Further statements of the Trial Examiner made at the hearing indicate that the A. F. of L. represents a sub- stantial number of employees in the company-wide units which it claims to be appropriate.b We find that questions affecting commerce have arisen concerning the representation of employees of the Companies within the meaning of Section 9 (c) and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the Act. IV. THE APPROPRIATE UNITS The C. I. O. contends that the front office employees in the New York City exchange offices of each of the three Companies constitute three appropriate units. The A. F.- of L. contends that the front of- fice employees of all the exchange offices of each of the three Companies constitute three appropriate units; or'in the alternative, that the 'front office employees of all the exchange offices of the eight major motion picture distributing Companies constitute a single -appropriate unit.' Of the Companies party to these proceedings, only Loew's Inc. ex- 4 The statements of the Regional Director and the Trial Examiner may be summarized as follows • Company Cards sub- mitted Employees in unit Cards in unit' Twentieth Century-Fox: C.

Since the Trial Examiner's figures clearly indicate that the A F of I, represents a substantial number of employees in the units it contends to be appropriate, any further increase in the number of "cards in unit" would not affect the results of our decision. We shall, therefore, not incorporate in the record the suggested changes of ,the A F. of L N. Y. EXCHANGE OF THE TWENTIETH-CENTURY FOX FILM CORP . 879 pressed its view as to the appropriate unit, it favoring the first of the alternative units proposed by the A. F. of L.' For, purposes of expediting the proceedings in the event that the Board found the New York exchanges to constitute separate appro- priate units, the parties respectively affected entered into the follow- ing stipulations as to the employees to be included in such units : 1. Loew's Inc.-All office, clerical, secretarial, and accounting em- ployees employed in the front room of Loew's Inc. film exchange at 630 Ninth Avenue, New York'City, excluding executives, officers, the district manager, the two branch managers, the office manager, sales- men, private and confidential secretaries to the district manager and the office manager, traveling auditors, checking supervisors, and porters; 2. Twentieth-Century Fox.-All office, clerical, secretarial, and ac- counting employees employed in the front room of Twentieth-Century Fox Film Corporation exchange at 345 West 44th Street, New York City, excluding executives, officers, the branch manager, the office man- ager, salesmen, the private and confidential secretary to the branch manager, traveling auditors, checkers, and maintenance employees ; 3. United Artists Corporation.-All office, clerical, secretarial, and accounting employees employed in the front room of United Artists Corporation exchange at 630 Ninth Avenue, New York City, exclud- ing the executives, officers, the district manager, the branch manager, office manager, salesmen, private and confidential secretaries to the district and branch managers, traveling auditors, checkers, and porters. As has been indicated previously, each of the 3 Companies main- tains approximately, 32 exchange offices throughout the United States for purposes of distributing motion pictures to local exhibitors. Generally speaking, the employees of any one exchange are custom- arily divided into a group referred to as "back room employees" and a second group known as "front room employees."' For • purposes of this discussion, it suffices to say that the back room employees are engaged in the manual or mechanical work involved in handling the film, whereas the front room employees are engaged in the book and clerical work essential to the distribution of the films. The A. F. of L. began organizing the back room employees of the exchange offices of the major distributors in 1937.8 In that year it executed a master contract with the major distributors covering the back room employees in all the exchanges of these distributors. The U Paramount Pictures Inc., not a party to these proceedings, filed a statement of position subsequent to the healing in which it also favored the first of the alternative units pioposed by the A P. of L, and opposed the latter 'A third but considerably smaller group consists of exchange office projectionists 8 Prior thereto projectionists in the exchange offices had been organized into local units confined to projectionists. 880 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD master contract was modified in 1939 and is still in effect. - In June 1942, the C. I. O. began organizing the front room employees of the New York City exchange of Twentieth-Century Fox. - In that same month, the A. F. of L. instituted' a program to organize the, front room employees of all the exchange offices of the eight major distribu- tors on a company-wide basis. Originally, the A. F. of L. locals of 'back room employees were instructed to organize the front room employees. Thereafter the instructions were modified to the extent that the front room employees were' to be organized ' into locals separate from the back room employees. The A. F. of L. sent letters to the eight major distributors on August 17, 1942, requesting a meet- ing with respect to the front room employees of the exchange offices. Several conferences were held thereafter, and on `August 31, 1942, the A. F. of L. requested,the major distributors to sign Nation-wide contracts similar to the contracts covering back room employees. On September 9, 1942, seven of the major distributors entered into con- tracts with the A. F. of L . which ; covered front room employees in, all exchange offices not_ involved in Board proceedings or covered by contracts with other labor organizations . Since these contracts not only, were executed after the C. I. O. filed its petitions , but expressly exclude from their provisions the three proceedings now under con- sideration , they cannot be considered either , as bars to these proceed- ings or as indicative of the history of collective bargaining among front room employees of motion picture exchanges. It is clear that the major distributors have bargained jointly with the A. F. of L. insofar as their back room employees are concerned aid with respect to the production phase of their respective enter- prises.9 The record does not indicate , however, that they have bar- gained through a common agency, with respect to the distribution phase of their businesses . Rather each Company has participated in- negotiations through its own representatives who have, when the oc- casion arose , signed separate though identical contracts on behalf of their respective principals . There is thus not substantial evidence in the record to support a finding that a semi-industry-wide unit com- posed of the eight major distributors to the exclusion of all other distributors is appropriate for purposes of collective bargaining. Furthermore, Loew's Inc. and Paramount Pictures Inc. have stated their objections to such a unit. Thus, the remaining issue in these proceedings becomes solely one of whether a company-wide unit or an exchange-wide unit is appropriate. In support of its contention for company-wide units of front room employees, the A. F. of L. sets up the history of collective bargaining in the motion picture industry, the centralization of the management United Artists Corporation is not considered a producer N. Y. EXCHANGE OF THE TWENTIETH-CENTURY FOX FILM CORP. 881 over the distributing exchanges, and an alleged Nation-wide com- munity of interest existing among the employees of the exchanges. The only evidence in the record substantiating the first argument of the A. F. of L. insofar as the distribution field of the motion picture industry is concerned is that the A. F. of L. has organized the back room employees of the exchange on a company-wide basis. On the other hand, the short history of collective bargaining among the front room employees of the eight major distributors, as well as among other distributors, has been upon a single exchange office basis. Thus, the Board has previously found such units to be appropriate upon petitions of the C. I. 0., of unaffiliated labor organizations, and of labor organ- izations affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.'° In some instances the A. F. of L. has succeeded to the membership of the labor organizations duly certified as the representative'of employees in such units. Of further importance is the fact that not until a month before the filing of two of the C. I. O. petitions did the A. F. of L. begin to organize the front room employees of the eight major distributing Companies. The history of collective bargaining in the production field and in the exhibiting field of the motion picture industry does not support the claim of industry-wide unit. In the exhibiting field, the organiza- tion of projectionists has proceeded purely upon a local, city-wide basis rather than upon a company-wide basis. In the production field, organization has been upon a semi-industry-wide basis." However, the production field is definitely confined in its geographical scope in contrast to the distribution field whose units are scattered throughout 10 See Matter of Warner Bros Pictures, Inc, Vitagraph , Inc ,'and Warner Bros Circuit Management Corporation , and their subsidiary corporations and Warner Boos Associated Once Employees of Greater New York, 35 N L.

R B 224-225, the Board, in accordance with a stipulation of the parties, found a single unit of specified employees of several motion picture companies , including the seven major produceis , to be appropriate 504086-43-vol 46-56 882 , DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD, these United States. Accordingly, the method of organizing the pro- duction field of the motion picture industry cannot be taken as a model for organizational activity in the distribution field of the industry. Although it appears that the labor policies governing the several exchange offices of each of the Companies is fixed in New York City, and that vacations and hours are alike for all exchanges , nevertheless the individual exchange offices function as separate component units of the whole distribution system. The branch manager of each ex- change office has authority to hire and discharge within certain limi- tations. Likewise the office manager may hire and discharge certain employees . , Wages for the exchange offices tend to vary with their geographical location , and in the case of the back room employees, have often been negotiated locally. Under all the circumstances , we find that a unit confined to each exchange rather than one national in scope is appropriate . Our ruling does not preclude a - later finding that a larger unit is appropriate. We find that the following groups of employees constitute units appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining within the meaning of Section 9 (b) of the Act: 1. Loew's In,c.-All office , clerical , secretarial, and accounting em- ployees employed in the front room of Iloew's Inc. film exchange at 630 Ninth Avenue, New York City , excluding executives , officers, the dis- trict manager , the two branch managers, the office manager , salesmen, private and confidential secretaries to the district manager and the officer manager, traveling auditors, checking supervisors , and porters; 2. Twentieth -Century Fox.-All office, clerical , secretarial,- and accounting employees employed in the front room of Twentieth- Century Fox Film Corporation , exchange at 345 West 44th Street, ,New York City; excluding executives, officers, the branch manager, the office manager, salesmen , the private and confidential secretary to the branch manager, traveling auditors, checkers, and maintenance employees; 3. United Artists Corporation .-All office , clerical , secretarial, and accounting employees employed in the front room of United Artists Corporation exchange at 630 Ninth Avenue, New York City, exclud- ing the executives, officers, the district manager, the branch manager, -office manager , salesmen, private and confidential secretaries to the district and branch managers , traveling auditors , checkers, and porters. V. THE DETERMINATION OF REPRESENTATIVES We shall direct that the questions concerning representation which have arisen be resolved , as to each Company, by an election by secret ballot among the employees in the appropriate unit who were employed N.

AMENDMENT TO DECISION AND DIRECTION OF ELECTIONS January 19, 1943 On January 8, 1943, the National Labor Relations Board issued .a Decision and Direction of Elections in the above-entitled proceed- ing., On January 13, 1943, International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada, and Film Exchange Employees Union, Local F-51, A. F. of L., herein together called the A. F. of L., filed a, motion requesting that the name of the Local be placed on the ballot in the election directed among the front-room employees in the New York City exchange of Twentieth-Century Fox Film Corpora- tion, or in the alternative, that the hearing be reopened to take evidence on the A. F. of L.'s asserted claim of a substantial interest among the employees in that unit. On January 15, 1943, Screen Office & Professional Employees Guild, Local 109, filed affidavits in opposition to the motion of the A. F. of L., which the Board has considered. Since the A. F. of L. demonstrated at the hearing that it had, a substantial interest among the employees' of the exchange offices of Twentieth-Century Fox Film Corporation in a company-wide unit which it contended to be appropriate, and inasmuch as it has sub- 146 N L.

The Board accordingly hereby strikes paragraph 2-in Section V of the Decision and amends paragraph No. 1 of the aforesaid Direction of Elections by striking therefrom' the words "whether or not they desire to be represented by Screen Office & Professional Employees.

F. of L., for the purposes of collective bargaining, or by neither." The A. F. of L. also moved that the Decision be amended to set forth correctly the evidence as to the representation showing of'the organizations involved. Since certain inadvertent errors appear in the Decision, it is hereby amended by striking from the second para- graph of Section III the words "Statements of the Regional Director, introduced in evidence at the hearing, and a statement of the Trial Examiner made at the hearing," and `substituting therefor the words "Statements of the Regional Director, introduced in evidence at the. hearing, as,supplemented and corrected by statements of the Trial Examiner made at the hearing"; and by striking the table in footnote 4 and substituting therefor the following table : Company Cards 'submitted Employees in unit ^ Cards in unit Twentieth Century-Fox.
