CERTIFICATION OF REPRESENTATIVES
March 10, 1938
On January 13, 1938, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Direction of Election 1 in this proceeding,
to which reference is hereby made. Pursuant to and in accordance
with the terms of the Direction, an election by secret ballot was con-
ducted on January 21, 1938. Full opportunity was accorded to all
parties to participate in the conduct of the secret ballot and to make
challenges. The United Retail Employees of America, Local 108,
herein called the U. R. E., did not avail itself of this opportunity
to furnish tellers or otherwise participate.
On January 24, 1938, the Regional Director, acting pursuant to
Article III, Section 9, of National Labor Relations Board Rules and
Regulations-Series 1, as amended, issued her Intermediate Report
on the election, copies of which were duly served on all the parties.
No exceptions to the Intermediate Report were filed by any of the
parties within the period of five days provided therefor by Article III,
Section 9, of the Rules and Regulations, and the Intermediate Report
was forwarded by the Regional Director to the Board in Washington,
D. C., on February 4, 1938.
By letter dated February 1, 1938, the U. R. E. charged that the
employers involved in this proceeding had interfered with the conduct*
of the election by coercing their employees in their choice of repre-
sentatives. The Board has fully investigated this charge and finds it
wholly without merit.
