Cases Nos. C-771 and R-804, respectively AMENDMENT TO DIRECTION OF ELECTION May 5, 1939 On March 23, 1939, the National Labor Relations Board, herein called the Board, issued a Decision, Order, and Direction of Election 1 in the above-entitled proceedings, ordering that the respondent cease and desist from certain unfair labor practices and take certain affirma- tive action found necessary to effectuate the policies of the National Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat. 449, and directing that an election by secret ballot be conducted at such time as the Board should in the future direct, under the direction and supervision of the Regional Director for the First Region (Boston, Massachusetts) among the production and maintenance employees employed by Panther-Panto Rubber Co., Inc., herein called the respondent, at its Stoughton, Massachusetts, plant, during a period or at a time thereafter to be determined by the Board, excluding clerical employees, executives, foremen, subforemen, and other supervisory employees, to determine whether or not they desire to be represented by United Rubber Work- ers of America, Local No. 156, herein called the Union, for the purposes of collective bargaining. Although the respondent has not yet complied with the aforesaid Order, the Union has requested the Board to direct that the election be held immediately. Since the purpose of delaying the election was to allow the dissipation of the effects of unfair labor practices di- rected against the Union, the Board sees no reason for not granting this request. The Board, therefore, hereby amends the above-mentioned Direc- tion of Election by striking therefrom the words, "at such time as the Board shall in the future direct," and substituting therefor the words, "within twenty (20) days from the date of this Amendment 1 11 N. L. R. B. 1261. 12 N. L. R. B., No. 80. 726 PANTHER-PANCO RUBBER CO., INC. 727 to Direction of Election," and by striking therefrom the words, "during a period or at a time to be determined by the Board in the future, excluding clerical employees, executives, foremen, subforemen, and other supervisory employees," and substituting therefor the words, "during the pay-roll period next preceding the date of this Amendment to Direction of Election, excluding clerical employees, executives, foremen, subforemen, and other supervisory employees, and those who have since quit or been discharged for cause, but in- cluding those who have since been temporarily laid off, and including Thomas Billadeau, Warren Billadeau, Stanley Spillane, Earl Gui- mond, and employees who did not work during such pay-roll period because they were ill or on vacation." MR. DONALD WAKEFIELD SMITH took no part in the consideration of the above Amendment to Direction of Election.
