MR. EDWIN S . SMITH, dissenting : Ori'March 24, 1941, the Board affirmed, the Regional Directors action in refusing to issue complaints of unfair, labor practices against -The Red River Lumber Company in Cases Nos. XX-C-658 and 684, and the Board further directed that the Regional Director refuse to issue a like complaint in Case No. XX-C-970. I dissented from the Board's above actions because I believe that complaints should be issued in the said cases. Accordingly, I believe that in conform- ance with the Board's usual practice, no election should be held since such complaints have not been issued, tried, and finally disposed of by the Board. I therefore dissent from the Board's Amendment to Directon of Election in the instant case, providing for the conduct of an election within thirty (30) days. 110 N \L R. B. 594. 31 N. L. R.
