SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION
AND
DIRECTION
July 13, 1944
On Jude 2, 1944, pursuant to the Decision and Direction of Election
issued by the Board herein on May 6, 1944,1 an election by secret ballot
was conducted under the direction and supervision 'of the Regional
Director for the Thirteenth Region (Chicago, Illinois). Upon the
conclusion of the election, a Tally of Ballots was furnished the parties
in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Board. No objec-
tions were filed by any of the parties within the time provided
therefor. -
The Tally shows that of the approximately 113 eligible voters,'106
cast valid votes of which 54 were for International Association of
Machinists, Lodge No. 1127, A. F, of L., and 52 against. Two ballots
were challenged.
On June 26, 1944, the Regional Director, acting pursuant to Article
III, Section 10; of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regu-
lations-Series 3; issued a Report on Challenged Ballots. No excep-
tions were filed to said report by any of the parties within the time
provided therefor. We have considered the, Report on Challenged
Ballots and although the ballots of Earl Servoss and Julius Middledorf
were challenged by the Union on the ground that they were supervisory
employees, we find that the said Servoss and Midcledorf were not, in,
fact, supervisory employees and consequently that they were eligible to
vote at the election: We shall direct that_the ballots of Servoss and
Middledorf be opened and counted.
