AMENDMENT TO DIRECTION OF ELECTION
April 16, 1941
On December 13, 1938, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued its Decision, Order, Direction of Election,
and Certification of Representatives in the above-entitled proceeding.,
The Direction of Election provided that an election by secret ballot
be conducted among certain employees of The Red River Lumber
Company, Westwood, California, at such time as the Board should
thereafter direct. The Board hereby amends its Direction of Elec-
tion by striking therefrom the words "at such time as the Board shall
in the future direct" and substituting therefor the words "as early as
possible but not later than thirty (30) days from the date of the
Amendment to Direction of Election."
MR. EDWIN S . SMITH , dissenting :
Ori'March 24, 1941, the Board affirmed, the Regional Directors
action in refusing to issue complaints of unfair, labor practices against
-The Red River Lumber Company in Cases Nos. XX-C-658 and 684,
and the Board further directed that the Regional Director refuse to
issue a like complaint in Case No. XX-C-970. I dissented from the
Board's above actions because I believe that complaints should be
issued in the said cases. Accordingly, I believe that in conform-
ance with the Board's usual practice, no election should be held since
such complaints have not been issued, tried, and finally disposed of
by the Board. I therefore dissent from the Board's Amendment to
Directon of Election in the instant case, providing for the conduct
of an election within thirty (30) days.
