In the Matter of ST. JOHNS RIVER SHIPBUILDING COMPANY and BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN' AND ENGINEERS Case No. 10-R-1251 SUPPLEMENTAL DECISION SECOND DIRECTION OF ELECTION AND ORDER January 29, 1945 On December 13, 1944, pursuant to a Decision and Direction of Election issued by the Board on November 20, 1944,1 an election by secret ballot was conducted by the Regional Director for the Tenth Region (Atlanta, Georgia). Immediately thereafter a Tally of Bal- lots was furnished by the Regional Director to the Company and to representatives of the participating unions. The Tally indicated that of the approximately 17 eligible voters, 16 cast valid votes, of which 11 were for Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Engineers, herein called the Brotheihood, and 5 were for International Union of Operating Engineers, herein called the Operating Engineers. No ballots were challenged. Thereafter, on December 15, 1945, the Operating Engineers and Jacksonville Metal Trades Council each filed Objections to the said election. On January 13, 1945, the Regional -Director issued his Report on Objections, recommending that the election be set aside. On January 18, 1945, the Company, the Brotherhood and the Operat- ing Engineers executed a stipulation that the election held December 13, 1944, be set aside, and that a new election be held. We see no reason to disapprove the stipulation. Accordingly, we shall order the election set aside and direct a new election. ORDER In accordance with the stipulation of the parties, the National Labor Relations Board hereby vacates and sets aside the election held in this proceeding on December 13, 1944, and the result thereof. 1 59 N.
