7 88 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
Since the challenged ballot cannot affect the result of the election,
we find it unnecessary to pass upon the challenge.
The results of the election show that no collective bargaining
representative has been selected by a majority of the employees in
the appropriate unit. The petition for investigation and certifica-
tion of representatives of employees of Walker Storage & Van Co.,
Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana, will, therefore, be dismissed.
ORDER
By virtue of Section 9 (c) of the National Labor Relations Act,
49 Stat. 449, and pursuant to Article III, Sections 8 and 9, of Na-
tional Labor Relations Board Rules and Regulations- Series 2, as
amended,
IT Is HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for investigation and
certification of representatives of employees of Walker Storage &
Van Co., Inc., New Orleans, Louisiana, filed by International Long-
shoremen's and Warehousemen's Union Local 2-7, affiliated with the
Congress of Industrial Organizations, be, and it hereby is, dismissed.
