On' September 14, 1942, the National Labor Relations, Board issued
a Decision and Direction of Election in the above-entitled proceeding.)
Pursuant to the Direction of Election, 'an election by secret ballot was
conducted on September 28, 1942, under the direction and supervision
of the Regional Director for the Sixth Region (Pittsburgh, Pennsyl-
tiania). On October 1, 1942, the Regional Director, acting pursuant
to Article III, Section 9', of the National Labor Relations Board Rules
and Regulations-Series 2, as amended, issued and duly served upon

In the decision referred to above, the Board made no final deter-
mination as to the appropriate unit, but stated that if the employees in
the Company's pattern shop selected the United Steelworkers of,
America, herein called the U. S. A., in the election, they would thereby
have indicated their desire to become a part of the general production
and maintenance unit previously found appropriate by the Board.2
The results of the election show that the pattern-shop employees of
the Company have selected the U. S. A. as their representative, and we
find that the U. S. A. is the exclusive representative of pattern makers

and apprentices employed by the Company at its Greensburg, Pennsyl-
vania, plant. As we stated in our decision, the U. S. A. is presently
the duly certified exclusive bargaining representative of the employees
in the production and maintenance _unit_heretofore found•appiopriate
and there is no dispute as to its status as such representative. Since
the U. S. A. is the recognized exclusive representative of the employees
in the original unit, and since the results of the election show that the
employees in the Company's pattern shop have designated the U. S.- A.
as their representative, the U. S. A. may now bargain for the Com-
pany's pattern-shop employees as well as for those in the original unit.
Mn. GERARD D. REi LY took no part in the consideration of the above
Supplemental Decision.
