SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS OF FACT
We find that all the Company's production, maintenance, shipping,
and receiving employees, including timekeepers, stock chasers, inspec-
tors, and production clerks, but excluding all journeymen apprentices,
and non-journeymen in the steel, iron, and brass foundries and jour-
neymen and apprentices in the pattern shop, and executives, foremen
and assistant foremen, watchmen, main office clerks, time-study men,
engineering-department employees, personnel-department employees,
and laboratory employees, constitute a unit appropriate for the pur-
poses of collective bargaining within the meaning of Section 9 (b)
of the Act, and that United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of
America, affiliated with the Congress of Industrial Organizations, has
been designated and selected by a majority of the employees in said
unit as their representative for the purposes of collective bargaining.
We further find that International Molders & Foundry Workers
Union of America, affiliated with the American Federation of Labor,
has been designated and, selected by a majority of the Company's
non-journeymen employees in its steel, iron, and brass foundries as

we stated in our Decision and Direction of Election, the Molders may
now bargain for both journeymen and non-journeymen employees of
the foundries in a single unit inasmuch as they already represent the
former group. .
