926 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
On January 24, 1942, the Regional Director issued his Report on
Objections. The Board has considered the Election Report, the
objections thereto, and the Regional Director's Report on Objections,
and finds that the objections do not raise substantial and material
issues in respect to the conduct of the ballot or the Election Report.
The objections are hereby overruled.
The results of the election show that no collective bargaining repre-
sentative has been selected by a majority of the employees of Walsh
Refractories Corporation, Vandalia, Missouri, in the unit heretofore
found to be appropriate for collective bargaining. We shall there-
fore dismiss the petition for investigation and certification of
employees of the Company.

tification of representatives of employees of Walsh Refractories
