cumstances warranted invocation of its services, although
such'preliminary hearing find i inv estigation are not expressly ;
required by state statute. :
“The Company had been bargaining fora number of years
previdusly with the Intérnatioy ‘Brotherhood ‘of Electric al
. Workers, Local B-953, A. F. of L. (hereittafter referred to
as Local B-953) on behalf of cael A Y in its plant and
. traffic departments.
After the hearing the State Board conducted an electio ion
among all the Company’s eniployees, in which the plant
and traffic department employees voted to bargain together
as in the past, and voted overwhelmingly in favor of the.
Guild as a bargaining representative. (The vote in favor
«.. of the’ Guild was 91-against and only 14 for Local B-953)
q
(R. 61, pp. 32-34; A-Ap..121-124). The Board entereg no
- arder, but certified. as a fact. the fesults of this election.
The National Labor Relations Board has never at any
time taken any jurisdiction with respect. to either the
Company or its employees. It has made no finding ,that
any unfair practice or question of representation arising
between such employer and its ‘employ ees affects commerce.
There has been’ no conflict in the application, of the
Wisconsin ‘law with either-a substantive provision of an
‘act of Congress or any policy formed de the National
. Labor Relations Board. - dsp ey a
The State’ Board did not, attempt to” chneler any ‘dis- ~
cretion respecting the bargaining unit, but merely, .con-.
*aucted a. vote to ascertain the wishes of the employees.
The bargaining unit selected by the employees is entirely -
‘consistent with provisions of the national law. and with |
policies followed by the National Board thereunder. (If
there are any provisions of the Wisconsin statutes which
might be applied, as to-wholly intrastate enterprises, in
2 7 2 ; re , “.
a manner different from an in which the National Act
might be applied, the State Act makes: provisigs under sec,
111.17 for severabiltly so that provisions of the*law which
cannot be applied in a particular cise do not prevent the
application of other portions of the, state, law.).
The employer. is a Wisconsin corporation, all of whose
employees work withit the boundaries of the state. It?
primary function is to operate a Jocal telephone service.
“*There is nothing in the ‘record. made before the State
Board to indicate that the Company engages in interstate
service, Allegations to that effect were made in the petition
for review, but allegations of fact'in the petition for review
are not part of the record which may be- considered” by
state. courts. upon, revipw. The only ev idence relating to
the source. of the company’s revenues which is Hroperly in
the record arose in the Supreme Court when the State.
Board called. the attention’ of the Court (in accordance
- with the rules of judicial notice applicable in the state -
as illustrated in Chicé ago & N. W: R. Co. v. Railyead-€ om-" .
mission, (1914) 156 Wis. 47, 145 N. W. 216, 974) to the
last annual, report filed by the employer with the Stat
Public Service Corjission, stating under, oath that all °
of. the employer’s revenue was derived from intrastate
service. - The mere’ fact that the Company is ‘subject to
regulation hy the State Publie. Service Commission dem- °
‘onstrates that it conducts an intrastate serv ige. of great
importance to the people within’ the state.
°We. have no doubt that it also participafgs to some .
‘extent ing interstate toll communication service although=
the extent of interstate. commerce is to. be proven rather
than presumied, since its regulation. lies in a delegated
field. Whéther the extent of ‘interstate service of a pri-—

finding necessary ‘to assumption of jurisdiction by. the Na- ~
' tional Board under the National Act is a questign of fact
which that Beard, must determine in each case. That- is,
where a question ‘of representation does not actually arise.
in commerce, the National ‘Board must determine as a fact
whether it id of such. moment that ‘it threatens to obstruct
commerce. As the Wisconsin Supreme Court has pointed
out in its decision in the instant case, the National Board
is not required to accept ‘jurisdiction ’or exercise its ‘powers
“on every petition or complaint filed with it because “Not.
~ every labor dispute:arises to sugh dignity that it impedes’
. and obstruets intérstate commerce’ although the employer
may be engaged in what has been. defined as interstate |
%9
That proposition is. well illustrated in this
‘ase. The National\. Board. did not ‘take jurisdiction of
the? petition for election filed with ét, and’ so it’ has never
made the Ginling necessary to. rian application of the
National Act. |
As this Court pointed out in Alabama State Fede ration
commerce,
of Labor v. McAdory, (1945) 325 U.S, 450, 464, 65 8. Ct.
1384, &9 L. Ed. 1725: : te

extend to all industries and all employees, It is only
-applicable to those employments in which strikes and
labor disputes would affect interstate ‘commerce anid -
-are found to be such bythe National Labor Relations
Board, = ee supplied )p 6
The fact in this case is that, neither the National Labor
Relations: Act nor its successor has ever. been applied to —
relations of the employer and employees ‘here involved;
and the National Board has never made any finding neces-_
sary to the application of those acts.

Argument
While it is the strong. cony iction of the appellee that the
action here invelved,. even if: it were legally” enforcible,..
would not interferé with Congressional regulation of in-.
terstate cammerce nor: infringe upon any constitutional
rights, we will not argue the merits of that ‘position at
- this time. This argument will be restr icted.to jnrisdictional,
points. Appeal will not lie-in Ahis case for two reasons =
(1) The action appéaled from is not a‘final judgment in
_ the sense of making a final disposition of the rights of the
patties. (2) The parties aerane appeal are not adversely
affected by the action. ae ; i
It requires no citation of authority to sermon the prop- a3
osition that only final det terminations are appealable to
the United States Supreme Court. A merely practical
order preparatory to a final hearing, by whieh the rights
of the parties are not affect ted, is not .a- final order so as
to-be appealable. Pulliam v. Christian, (1848y 47 U.S. 209,
6 Howard 209, 12 L. Ed. "409. Whe re the decree involved
is merély interlocutory i in nature no appeal, will lie to the
United States Supreme ( ‘ourt even though state laws allow
it to be appealed to the state appellate courts. -Reddall v.

_In support of the other j Jurisdictional proposition involved -
we cite Alabama State Federation of Labor v® McAdory,
(1945) 325 U.S. 450, 463, 65 S.-Ct. 1384, 89 L. Ed. 1725, i in

(1941) 311 U.S, 531, 537, 64 8. Ct. 376, 85 La Ed. 399 ;
oe * * Pyercising ay very delicate responsibility
of passing upon , the validity of state statutes, this
Court has m many times declared the rule that only those
who have been injured as the result of the denial of
‘constitutional rights can invoke’ our jurisdiction on
constitutional questions. wii ees
Doubtless these rules arise from the fundamental. prop-
-osition enunciated in Faitoute Iron € Steel Co. v. Ashbury
Park, (1942) 316 U.S. 502, 62 S. Ct. 1129, 86 I. Ed. 1629,
that the: constitution was ‘f ‘intended ‘to preserve practical
- and substantial rights, not to maintain theories.’ ?’
In determining thé nature of the action of which review
is sought by the United States Supreme Court, We must
look to the construction placed upon it. by the supreme
“court of the state- As pointed out in Hotel € R. KE. I. Alli-
ance Vv. Wis. FE. R. Board, (1942) 315 US. 437, 440, 62
S. Ct. 706, 86 L. Ed. 946, the — of the restraints,
if arly, imposed upon-the parties ‘‘is for the Wisconsin _
Supreme Court to determine.’’ The legal effect of the.
certification by the State Board of the results of an election.
‘conducted by it was termed by the State Court as ‘mere.
fact-finding procedure.”’ No one can be aggrieved ® the ~
legal sense by a mere . finding of facet which has no 20m
_pulsory effect. : Se
This viewpoint aceords with the rulings of the Federal
courts respecting certifications of the results of¢elections
made. by the National Board: Such certifications under the
National Labor Relations Act were not even ‘reviewable, |

The State Board’s action was ministerial in charaeter,

3) /
The Wisconsin Supreme Court: has pointed out that the
—: State Board’s action which is under consideration on.these
‘appeals does not involve the exercise of its discretion nor -
the formulation of any policy which does or could vary
from those of the National Labor Relations Act:
/ .
“The mere fact- finding procedure of. the slate board
in the ascertainment. of facts, and its thereupon order-
ing and conducting an election-and-certifyi ing the result
~ thereof constitutes an action in merély’ its ministerial
jinaetiy.* > = °” :
The appellants urge that the board’s action was not min-
isterial because it made a determination of the status of-a
contract between the employer and Local B-953, during its
- investigation to detérmine whether an election should ‘be
held. It exercised no discretion in making such a deter.
mirmtion, since it was obligated to apply the rules. of law
preyailing in this state. Such rules, according to Ogden v.
Saunders, 25-U. 8.213, 12 Wheat. 213, 6 L.Ed. 606, neces-
sarily govern the nature, requisites and validity of a con- |
. tract mgde i in this state. The board correctly applied such.
rales, as is demonstrated by the decision of the Wisconsin,
‘Supreme Court. It was pointed out in Stevens v. Jones
~
( 11
(1909), 1: 23 N. W. 705, 708, * 24 S. D. 97, that an action is ho.
less ministerial because the person obtigated. to pérform tho -
act must first satisfy himself of the « e xistence of the state of
facts upon wliich the duty arises e a 5 eee.
The certification of ‘the cdsults of 4 an ‘lection conducted
- by the:state board is merely, the furnishing of information
to parties ‘who are presumably interested. The ‘now ledge
of such facts should assist them i in their negotiations.
The ‘certification is not-made legally enforcible, perhaps
for the reason that in at least nine cases out of ten no en-.)
forcement is needed. When parties know the facts, they
“an act ac¢ordingly, The certification serves only the pur-
pose of acquainting | them with the facts. ;
Before anytegally enforcible action could be taketh on n the
basis of A’ certification of the results of an election, adidi-
‘tional proceeditigs would be necessary with\the usual con-
comitants of notice, and hearing. The certification of the
fact of the employ ee’s wishes, therefore, i is nothing more
than an intermediate step without legal force. "he
The appéllants have not shown, nor could they, show,
that they have’been prejudiced or adversely affected by the
certification. Although the certification was issued Janu--
“ary. 14, 1947, the appellants have ever since refused‘to
recognize 1 without any adverse effect upon themselves.
(No stay of execution was applied for or issued bevause.
no enforcement is: possible.) Surely that fact in itself
_ demonstrates that the appellants could not be prejudiced
by a mere certification of the results of iin election ‘among
the employ ees. If the knowledge of the desires of the em. ~
ployees ‘has prejudiced the employer and the rejected or-
ganization, the prejudic@is surely not to their constitutional
crights. -If anyone has Deen déprived of constitutional
rights, 1 rights sought to be protected by Federal legis sta-
