Upon the entire record in the case; the Board makes the following: FINDINGS OF FACT r I. THE BIISINESS . OF THE COMPANY Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, a Delaware corporation, is a wholly owned subsidiary, of Standard Oil Company, a New Jersey 'corporation. The Company is engaged in the refining of crude petro- leum and the production, sale, and distribution of gasoline and al- lied products. It maintains it principal office in the State of Dela= ware and an executive office and place of business in New York ,City. It owns and operates, refineries in Maryland, South Carolina, and New Jersey. Only its Bayonne, New Jersey, Refinery (including the Eagle Division located at Jersey City, New Jersey) is involved in, the present proceeding. The Bayonne Refinery, together with a re- finery located at Bayway, New Jersey, comprise the Company's New Jersey Works. During the year 1943, over 36,500,000 barrels of crude oil, valued in' excess of $58,400,000 were purchased by the Company_ from points outside the State of New Jersey, for use at the New Jer-, sey Works: During the same period, the Company refined at its New Jersey Works approximately 1,944,729,000 gallons of petroleum and allied products, having a refined value in excess of $137,565,000. Sub- stantially more than 50 percent of these products was, shipped from the New Jersey Works to points outside the State of New Jersey. The Company admits that it is engaged in commerce within the, meaning of the National-Labor Relations Act. II. THE ORGANIZATION INVOLVED . Standard Refinery Union, Inc., is an unaffiliated labor, organization admitting to membership employees of the Company in the State of New Jersey.,* ' - III. THE' QUESTIONS CONCERNING REPRESENTATION On December 14, 1943, the Union mailed a letter to the Company in which it claimed to represent a majority of the employees at the Bay- onne Refinery (including the Eagle Division) and requested recogni- tion as, the exclusive bargaining representative of such employees. In a reply dated December 17,1943, the Company informed the Union, in substance, that it would not extend recognition in the absence of a certification by the Board. A similar exchange of letters to the same effect took place on January 19 and 20, 1944. 1592 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD ' Statements of aâ€¢ Field Examiner of the Board, introduced into evi- dence at the hearing, have been compiled in a table below.2 These statements indicate that the Union represents a substantial number of employees in each of the five units it alleges to be appropriate.
