Board, herein called the Board, issued on May 12, 1939, a Decision and
Direction of Election,' and on May 23, 1939, an Amendment to Direc-
tion of Election.2 The Direction of Election, as amended, directed
that an election by secret ballot be conducted within thirty (30) days
from the date of the Direction among the employees of Warwick
Manufacturing Corporation, Chicago, Illinois, herein called the
Company, on the Company's March 25, 1939, pay roll, all the em-
ployees of the Company left off the said pay roll because of illness,
and all employees alleged by United Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers of North America, herein called the United, to have been
discriminatorily discharged by the Company (the latter two groups
to cast ballots subject to challenge), excluding executives, clerical
workers, laboratory workers, salesmen, parts salesmen, supervisors,
and those who had since quit or had been discharged for cause, to de-
termine whether or not they desired to be represented by International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local B-1031, herein called the
Brotherhood, for the purposes of collective bargaining.
Pursuant to the Decision and Direction of Election, as amended,
an election by secret ballot was conducted' on June 8, 1939, under the
direction and supervision of G. L. Patterson, the Regional Director for
the Thirteenth Region, Chicago, Illinois. Thereafter, the Regional
Director, acting pursuant to Article III, Section 9, of National Labor

Ballot. Copies of the Intermediate Report were duly served on the
parties on June 13, 1939. No objections or exceptions to the Inter-
mediate Report have been filed by any of the parties.
As to the results of the secret ballot, the Regional Director reported
as follows :
Total number eligible--------------------------------------- 120
Total number of ballots cast_________________________________ 92

Electrical Workers, Local B-1031-------------------------- 5
Total number of ballots cast against International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers, Local B-1031------------------------ 73

The results of the secret ballot show that no collective bargaining
representative has been designated by a majority of the employees of
the Company in an appropriate unit. The 14 challenged ballots cannot
affect the results of the election. We will order, therefore, that the
petition for investigation and certification of representatives of em-
ployees of the Company be dismissed.
