Division, Kansas City, Missouri, and at the Delco-Remy Division, Anderson, Indiana. The Regional Director has not completed his investigation of the matters specified in the objections, and no final determination as to the elec- tions held at these two plants will be made herein. No objections or exceptions have been filed by any of the parties with regard to the remaining 65 elections covered in the Elections Report. The results of the election at_ the Harrison Radiator Division, Lockport, New York, show that no collective bargaining representa- tive has been selected by a majority of the employees voting. The petitions for investigation and certification of representatives of the employees of General Motors Corporation, in so far as they refer GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION 179 to the Harrison Radiator Division, Lockport; New York,-will there- fore be dismissed. The results of the elections at the Chevrolet Motor Division; Baltimore, Maryland, and the Fisher Body Division (Plant #40), Detroit, Michigan, show that neither the A. F. .L.=U. A. W. nor the C. I. 0.-U. A. W. received a majority of the valid votes cast. The majority of employees at each of these plants have, however, indicated a desire to bargain collectively with the Company.8 Both the A. F. L.-U. A. W. and the C. I. O.-U. A. W. have filed with the Regional Director requests for run-off • elections at these two plants. We shall direct that such run-off elections be held. In ac- cordance with the policy enunciated by the majority of the Board in Matter of R. K. Le Blond Machine Tool Co., Cincinnati Electrical Tool Co. and Independent Employees Organization,9 the ballots used in such run-off elections shall contain the names of both labor organizations but no place in which to vote again for "neither"; 10 the organization receiving the higher number of votes to be certified; as exclusive bargaining : representative. Upon the entire record in these cases, the Board makes the following: SUPPLEMENTAL FINDINGS OF FACT We find that the following groups of employees of General Motors Corporation constitute units appropriate for the purposes of col- lective bargaining, and that said units will insure to employees of the Company the full benefit of their right to self-organization ' and to collective bargaining and otherwise effectuate the policies of the Act : . (a) Wood pattern makers and model makers, working on bench or machine (but not shaper hands), metal pattern makers working on bench or machine, model and pattern checkers, keller model set-up men, and the apprentices of these classifications (but not supervisory or salaried employees and those whose work is of a confidential nature), employed by the Company at each of the following plants: Buick Motor Division, Flint, Michigan. Chevrolet Motor Division, Flint, Michigan. Fisher Body Division (Plant #23), Detroit, Michigan: Pontiac Motor Division, Pontiac, Michigan. Research Laboratories Division, Detroit, Michigan. 8In each of these two elections, the C. I. O.-U. A. W., the A.' F. L.-U. A. W., and, "neither" ranked first, second , and third , respectively , in the number of votes received. 22 N. L. R.

W . was designated as the collective bargaining representative of the production and,maintenance employees at the Saginaw Malleable Division, Saginaw, Michigan, and at the Chevrolet Motor Division (Forge) (Spring and Bumper), Detroit, Michigan. As stated above, however, the results of the craft elections among the pattern makers at the first, and. among the die sinkers at the second, of these two plants have been challenged. We shall withhold our determination of the appropriate units at these two plants until it is determined whether or not the pattern makers or the die sinkers desire to be included in the same unit as the production and maintenance employees at the Sagi- naw Malleable Division or the Chevrolet Motor Division (Forge) (Spring and Bumper), respectively.

WILLIAM M. LEISERs0N, concurring : As stated in my separate opinion in the R. K. Le Blond 20 case, I believe that the Board is not authorized by the Act to order a run-off election. Since, however, the majority here directs such elections, I agree that the ballot should contain the names of the two labor organi- zations, and no place to vote against a labor organization. CHAIRMAN MADDEN, dissenting in part : I dissent as to the form of the ballot directed to be used in the run- off elections. As I have stated in Matter of R. K. Le Blond Machine Tool Co., Cincinnati Electrical Tool Co. and Independent Employees Organizationl,,21 and in subsequent cases, I think the Board should permit the eligible employees to vote, as under the Board's former run-off election procedure, for or against C. I. O.-U. A. W., which received a plurality of the votes in the original elections at the two plants at which run-off elections are to be held.

During the course of this investigation, two of the challenges were withdrawn. Two other challenged ballots were not enclosed within the outer, envelopes provided for the purpose of recording thereon the name of the voter, the name of the challenger, and the reasons for the challenge, and were therefore found by the Regional Director to be void. The Regional Director made no ruling as to the remaining 20 challenged ballots.' He•reported that lie was. unable to determine from the evidence whether or not these 20 em- ployees were eligible to vote in this election for the reasons that, al- though the definition of eligibility to participate in this election was based upon a stipulation entered into by all the parties to these pro- ceedings, the labor organizations involved differ in their interpretation of the definition of eligibility to vote as a die sinker, and that the 7It appears that 10 of the individuals involved were named on the eligibility list which had been prepared for the election to be held among the production and mainte- nance employees at this plant , and not on the die sinkers' eligibility list.

W. had filed with him objections to the conduct of the ballot in the aforesaid election and to the Elections Report in so far as it pertained to that election. The C. I. O.-U. A. W. has requested oral argument before the Board on its objections. Such objections allege (1) that campaign literature, telegrams, and information sent to the Kansas City office of the C. I. O.-U. A. W. were delivered to and retained by the Kansas City office of International Union, United Automobile Workers of America, affiliated with the A. F. of L., herein called the A. F. L.-U. A. W., and that, if the C. I. 0.- U. A. W. had not been thereby prevented from distributing such material to the employees at the Kansas City plant, such employees would have voted. for the C. I. O.-U. A. W.; (2) that the A., F. L.- U. A. W., in violation of a pre-election agreement with the C. I. 0.- U. A. W., conducted a vigorous campaign for support on the `day of the election by various described activities at, in, and' near the plant, and that the acts complained of improperly influenced employees to vote for the A. F. L.-U. A. W.; and (3) that a large majority of the employees at the Kansas City plant had stated in writing that they had been misinformed by A. F. L.-U. A. W. officials concerning the election, and desired a new election to enable them to vote for the C. I. O.-U. A. W. The Regional Director, having duly investigated the matters con- tained in the objections of the C. I. O.-U. A. W., reported that a package of lapel buttons designed for use in the pre-election cam- paign, three packages of campaign literature, and three telegrams, all addressed to and intended for the C. I. O.-U. A. W., were mis- delivered by the Post Office Department, the Railway Express Agency; and the. Postal Telegraph Company, respectively, to the GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION , 199 A. F. L.-U. A. W., and that all of these materials were recovered by the C. I. O.-U. A. W. prior to elections. The Regional Director further reported that the A. F. L.-U. A. W. caused one or more auto- mobiles or trucks bearing campaign slogans to be stationed in and moved about streets adjoining the plant in. question during the time the election was being conducted. - Subsequent to the filing of its objections, and in support of its contention that a majority of the employees involved now desire the C. I. O.-U. A. W. to represent them, the C. I. O.-U. A. W. filed with the Regional Director petitions bearing 567 signatures under the following heading : We, the undersigned employees of Chevrolet-Kansas City divi- sion of General Motors Corporation, having been misinformed by the U. A. W.-A. F. L. officials as to their strength in the General Motors Plants in the N. L. R. B. vote April 17, 1940, .and wishing to be with the majority of the General Motors workers in their bargaining unit, now wish to become affiliated with the bargaining unit of the U. A. W.-C. I. O. so that we may have the maximum bargaining power, protection, and chance to obtain a national contract: We shall assume that the petitions bear signatures of employees who were eligible to vote in the election, and shall consider their effect as evidence of a post-election shift in the desires of certain of the employees. As. has been shown, the A. F. L.-U. A. W. received 566 votes out of 1002 validly cast,. a plurality of 147 over the C. I. 0.- U. A. W., while 17 persons voted for neither union, one spoiled his ballot, and 110 eligible employees refrained from voting. Thus, although the petitions purport to reflect a gain of 148 votes by the C. I. O.-U. A. W., since the identity and choice of the employees who voted does not appear, the actual shift from the A. F. L.-U. A. W. may be as few as 20 votes. Inasmuch as the eligible voting group totals 1113 employees, the relatively small shift reflected by the peti- tions is, in our opinion, insufficient to warrant disturbing the results of the election .9 The Board has fully considered the Elections Report, the Objec- tions, and the Report on Objections, and finds that the objections do not raise substantial and material issues with respect to the conduct of the ballot or the Elections Report. The objections are hereby Compare Matter of New York d Cuba Mail Steamship Company and United Licensed Officers of the United States of America, 2 N. L. R. B. 595, where the Board vacated an election and ordered that a new one be held on the basis of a shift in membership. In that case there were 40 engineers eligible to vote, of whom 34 voted for the U. L. O. and 6 voted for the M. E . B: A.' At a hearing on protests , the M. E. B. A. introduced in evidence cards signed by 40 engineers employed by the company applying for member- ship in M. E. B. A. Thus the shift in membership in that case was overwhelming, whereas that alleged in connection with the election at the Kansas City plant is rela- tively slight. 200 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS 'BOARD overruled , and the request of the C. I. O.-U. A . W. for oral argument, thereon is hereby denied. We shall accordingly certify the A.,F. L.- U. A. W., which received a majority of the ballots cast in the election,. as the collective bargaining representative of the production and maintenance employees at the Chevrolet Motor Division , Kansas City, Missouri. The Board does not at this time pass upon the Regional Director's: report as to the election conducted among the production and main- tenance employees at the Delco-Remy Division , Anderson, Indiana, the Objections filed thereto , or the Regional Director's report on said Objections. Upon the entire record in these cases , the Board makes the fQl- lowing : .
