SUPPLEMENT AND SECOND AMENDMENT TO
DIRECTION OF ELECTION
December 7, 1939
On January 9, 1939, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Decision, Order, and Direction of Election
in the above-entitled proceedings.' On January 24, 1939, the Board
issued an Amendment to Direction of Election and Order Dismissing
Petition.2 The Direction of Election, as amended, directed that an
election by secret ballot be conducted, at such time as the Board
should in the future direct, among all production employees of Centre
Brass Works, Inc., whose names appear on the pay roll last preced-
ing the date of the Direction of Election, excluding office workers,
foremen, and supervisory employees, and excluding also employees
who quit or were discharged for cause between the date of the speci-
fied pay roll and the date of the election, to determine whether or
not they desired to be represented by Metal Polishers, Buffers, Platers,
and Helpers International Union, Local No. 8, for the purposes of
collective bargaining.
The Board has been advised by the Regional Director for the
Second Region (New York City) that an election may be appro-
priately held at this time. The Regional Director has also advised
the Board that the parties to the proceedings are agreed that an
election at the present time among employees whose names appear
on the pay roll last preceding the date of the original Direction of
of Election would be impractical. The Board, therefore, hereby sup-
plements and amends its Direction of Election, as amended, to read
as follows :
110 N. L. R. B. 1060.
2 ] 0 N. L. R. B. 1077.
18 N. L. R. B., No. 22.
