SUPPLEMENT AND AMENDMENT TO DIRECTION OF
ELECTION
February 13, 1940
On November 17, 1939, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Decision, Order, and Direction of Election 1
in the above-entitled proceedings. The Direction of Election directed
that an election by secret ballot be conducted at such time as the
Board should in the future direct, among the production employees
of the Standard Hat Company, excluding the plant superintendent,,
inspectors, foremen and foreladies, machinist, floorboys, porters,
shipping-department employees, and office and clerical help, and in-,
eluding extra help and apprentices, to determine whether or not
they desired to be represented by United Hatters, Cap & Millinery
Workers International Union, for the purposes of collective
bargaining.
Having been advised by the Regional Director for the Tenth
Region (Atlanta, Georgia) that an election might now be appropri-
ately held, the Board, on February 2, 1940, issued and duly served
upon the parties, a notice that unless sufficient cause to the contrary
was shown, it would order an election among certain employees
described below whose names appear on the pay roll last preceding
this Supplement and Amendment to Direction of Election. No
objection having been made, more than 14 months having elapsed
since the original hearing in October 1938, and no reason appearing
why a recent pay-roll date should not be used for said purpose, the
Board hereby supplements and amends its Direction of Election, to
read as follows :
