On May 27, 1941, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called
the Board, issued a Decision and Direction of Election in -the above-
entitled proceeding.' Pursuant to the Direction of Election, an elec-
tion by secret ballot was conducted on June 20, 1941, by the Regional
Director for the Thirteenth Region (Chicago, Illinois). On June 21,
1941, the Regional Director, acting pursuant to Article III, Section 9,
of National Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series 2,
as amended, issued and duly served upon the parties an Election
Report. No objections to the conduct of the ballot or to the Election
Report have been filed by any of the parties.
As to the balloting and its results, the Regional Director reported
as follows :
Total number on eligibility list------------------------------- 52
Total ballots cast------------------------------------------- 51
Total ballots challenged------------------------------------- 12

b. Challenged ballots determined not eligible-------------- 0
Total blank ballots------------------------------------------ 0
Total number of void ballots-------------------------------- 0
Total number of ballots cast for the union------------------- 14

The Regional Director recommended that the challenges to the bal-
lots of five employees be sustained since it appears that they are
among those employees excluded from the unit in the Board's De-
cision and Direction of Election. None of the parties has filed objec-
tions to the Regional Director's recommendations. The Board has
considered the challenges and the Regional Director's recommenda-

tions thereon. The recommendations are hereby affirmed. The
Regional Director made no recommendation as to the remaining seven
challenged ballots, since they could not affect the outcome of the
election.
The results of the election show that no collective bargaining repre-
sentative has been selected by a majorityof the employees of the Com-
pany in the unit heretofore found to be appropriate for collective
bargaining. We shall therefore dismiss the petition for investigation
and certification of representatives of employees of the Company.
