In the Matter Of GENERAL LEATHER PRODUCTS, INC. and SUITCASE, BAG & PORTFOLIO MAKERS UNION Case No. R-315 AMENDMENT TO DIRECTION OF ELECTION March 17, 1938 On February 23, 1938, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called the Board, issued a Decision, and Direction of Election 1 in the above-entitled proceeding. The Direction provided that "an election by secret ballot shall be conducted within fifteen (15) days from the date of this Direction" among employees- of General Leather Products, Inc., "who were on the Company's pay roll during the pay roll period immediately preceding the date of this Direction." On March 9, 1938, Suitcase, Bag & Portfolio Makers Union no- tified the Regional Director that it was protesting the holding of such election, and on March 11, 1938, it filed with the Board ex- ceptions and amended exceptions to the Decision, of the Board, in which it objected to the pay-roll date selected by the Board for de- termining eligibility of employees to vote. In order to fully con- sider and determine the matters set forth in the exceptions filed by the Union, we shall postpone the election. The Direction of Election is hereby amended by striking there- from the words "within fifteen (15) days from the date of this Direction " and substituting therefor the words "at such time as the Board may in the future direct." MR. EDWIN S. SMITH took no part in the consideration of the above Amendment to Direction of Election. 15 N L R. B. 573. 29
