As to the balloting and its results , the Regional Director reported
as follows :
Total on eligibility list____________________________________ 5,317
Total ballots cast__________________________________________ 4,838
Total ballots challenged___________________________________ 51
Total blank ballots________________________________________ 4

Total valid votes cast_____________________________________ 4,772
Votes cast for Steel Workers Organizing Committee --------- 1, 783

Since the challenged ballots cannot affect the results of the election,
we find it unnecessary to pass upon the challenges.
The results of the election show that no collective bargaining repre-
sentative has been selected by a majority of the employees of the Com-
pany in the unit heretofore found to be appropriate for collective
bargaining. We will, therefore, dismiss the petition for investigation
and certification of representatives of employees of the Company.

tional Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series 2, as
amended,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for investigation and certifi-
cation of representatives of employees of The Colorado Fuel & Iron
Corporation, Pueblo, Colorado, filed by Steel Workers Organizing
