Since the Election Report reveals that a substantial majority of the
employees voting desire to bargain collectively through an exclusive
representative, although neither of the competing labor organizations
received a majority of the votes cast, and since one of the said organiza-
tions has requested a run-off election, we shall direct that a further
election be held in which the eligible employees'will be given an op-
portunity to decide which of the two labor organizations they desire
to represent them.
DIRECTION OF RUN-OFF ELECTION

Labor Relations Board by Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Rela-
tions Act, 49 Stat. 449, and pursuant to Article III, Sections 8 and 9,
of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series 2,
as amended, it is hereby
DIRECTED that, as part of the investigation ordered by the Board to
determine representatives for the purposes of collective bargaining
with Campbell Transportation Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
an election by secret ballot shall be conducted as soon as, convenient,
and beginning as soon as is practicable after the date of this Direction,
in conformity to the rules for the conduct of such election set forth in
the Decision and Direction of Election issued November 17, 1941, under
the direction and supervision of the Regional Director for the Sixth
Region, acting in this matter as agent for the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, and subject to Article III, Section 9, of said Rules and
Regulations, among the employees described in the Direction of Elec-
tion issued November 17, 1941, but excluding those who have since
