On February 18, 1938, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Decision, Order, and Direction of Elec-
tion 1 in the above-entitled case. The Direction of Election directed
that an election by secret ballot be held among the hourly wage pro-
duction and maintenance employees of the Coldwater, Ohio, plant of
New Idea,- Inc., herein called the Company, who were on the Com-
pany's pay roll in the pay-roll period from September 1 to Sep-
tember 15, 1937, except clerks, supervisory employees, watchmen, and
any other employees quitting or discharged for cause before the
election, to determine whether they desired to be represented by
Federal Labor Union No. 21218 for the purposes of collective bar-
gaining.
Pursuant to the Direction, an election by secret ballot was con-
ducted on March 4, 1938, at Coldwater, Ohio, under the direction and
supervision of the Regional Director for the Eighth Region (Cleve-
land, Ohio). On March 10, 1938, the said Regional Director, acting
pursuant to Article III, Section 9, of National Labor Relations Board
Rules and Regulations-Series 1, as amended, issued and duly served
upon the parties an Intermediate Report on the ballot. No excep-
tions to the Intermediate Report have been filed by any of the parties.
As to the results of the secret balloting, the Regional Director
reported as follows :
Total Number Eligible to Vote----------------------------- 437
Total Number of Ballots Cast ------------------------------ 406
Total Number of Votes in favor of Federal Labor Union
No. 21218 ---------------------------------------------- 152
Total Number of votes against the afore-mentioned union--_ 240
Total Number of Blank Votes----------------------------- 0
Total Number of Void Ballots------------------------------ 0
Total Number of Challenged Votes------------------------- 14
The results of the election show that no collective'bargaining repre-
sentative has been selected by a majority of the employees. The peti-
tion for investigation and certification of representatives of em-
ployees of the Company will therefore be dismissed.
