be represented by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers of
America, 'C. 1.-0., or.by United' Automobile Workers of America
(A. F. of L.), for the purposes of collective bargaining.
On January 13, 1943, the Company filed a petition for reconsidera-
tion, requesting the Board to amend its Second Direction of Election
to afford employees an opportunity to vote for "neither," as in the
previous election, or to strike from the ballot United Automobile
Workers of America (A. F. of L.) and afford employees an oppor-
tunity to vote for or against representation by United Electrical, Radio
& Machine Workers of America, C.\ I. O. On January 15, 1943, the
A. F. of L. notified the Board that it did not desire to'participate in

sire to be represented by United Electrical, Radio & Machine Workers
of America, C. I. 0., or by United Automobile Workers of America
(A. F. of L.), for the purposes of collective bargaining" and substi-
