called the Board, issued an Order, Decision and Direction of Election
in the above-entitled proceedings,' ordering, inter alia, that Ohio
Greyhound Lines, Inc., herein called Ohio cease and desist from
certain unfair labor practices, and directing that an election by secret
ballot be conducted within thirty (30) days of the Direction of
Election to determine whether the bus drivers on Ohio desired to be
represented by Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Rail-
way and Motor Coach Employees of America and Division 1207
thereof (A. F. of L. affiliate), herein called the Amalgamated, or
by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Lodge 974, herein called

practices affecting commerce, within the meaning of Section 8 (1)
and Section 2 (6) and (7) of the National Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat.
449. The Board has not completed the investigation of the charges.
On March 21, 1940, the B. R. T. petitioned the Board to postpone the
election among the bus drivers employed by Ohio pending the com-
pletion of said investigation. Under the circumstances we shall defer
the election.
The Board hereby amends its Direction of Election by striking
therefrom the words "as early as possible but not later than thirty
(30) days from the date of this Direction of Election" and substitut-
ing therefor the words "at such time as the Board shall hereafter
direct" and by striking therefrom the words "the pay-roll period
immediately preceding the date of this Direction of Election" and
substituting therefor the words "a pay-roll period which the Board
shall in the future specify."
