In the Matter of THE PURE OIL COMPANY and OIL WOR$ERS INTER- NATIONAL UNION (C. I. 0.) Case No. 8-R-1314 SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION AND DIRECTION OF ELECTION November 4, 1944 On June 19, 1944, the Board issued its Decision and Order in the above-entitled proceeding,' in which the Board set aside the elec- tion conducted among the production and maintenance employees of The Pure Oil Company at Newark, Ohio, on November 5, 1943, and stated that a new election would be conducted among such employees when the Regional Director should advise the Board that the time was appropriate for holding such election. The Regional Director has advised the Board that an election may now appropriately be con- ducted. We shall accordingly issue a Direction of Election. The parties expressed no opinion with respect to a suitable date for determining employees eligible to vote in the second election. Since the second election is in no respects a run-off election, we believe that employees hired since the eligibility date established in the stipu- lation for Certification Upon Consent Election should be per- mitted to vote. We shall accordingly direct that those eligible to vote in'the election shall be employees in the unit heretofore agreed upon who were employed during the pay-roll period immediately preced- ing this Direction of Election, subject to the limitations and addi- tions set forth herein. DIRECTION OF ELECTION By virtue of and pursuant to the power vested in the National Labor Relations Board by Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Re- lations Act, and pursuant to Article III, Section 9, of National Labor '56N.L R.
