SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION
May 2, 1942
Pursuant to 'our Direction of Election in the above -entitled pro-
ceeding,' the Regional Director for the Twenty -first Region (Los
Angeles, California ) on April 3, 1942, conducted an election, and
on April 4 , 1942, issued and duly served upon the parties his Election

tion Report having been filed by any of the parties within 5 days
thereafter , as provided by Article III, Section 9, of National Labor
Relations Board Rules and Regulations-Series 2, as amended, the
Board on April 20, 1942, issued its Certification of Representatives 2
on the basis of said Election Report.
On April 17 , 1942, counsel for the Company filed with the Regional
Director Objections to Election Report stating that, while the Elec-
tion Report had been served upon the Company , counsel was not
advised of the issuance thereof until April 16, 1942. On April 20,
1942, the Regional Director issued and served upon the parties his
Report on Objections recommending that said Objections be over-
ruled, and on April 22, 1942, the Guild by answer took exception to
the filing of said Objections . Although the Objections to Election
Report on behalf of the Company were not filed in accordance with
our Rules and Regulations , we have considered the Objections which
are directed against our decision finding the existence of a question
of representation and determining the appropriate bargaining unit.
We find that the Objections raise no substantial and material issues
in respect to the Election Report, and accordingly that they do not
affect the validity of our certification of Los Angeles Newspaper
Guild, CIO , as the exclusive representative of the employees of
Triangle Publications , Inc., in,the appropriate unit. The Objections
are hereby overruled.
