of the election in Case No. 3-R-687. On March 20, 1944, before a
further hearing was held, the parties entered into an Agreement for
Consent Election in Case No. 3-R-765. On April 11, 1944, elections
were conducted by'the Regional Director for the Third Region; one

other, pursuant to the aforesaid Agreement in Case No.33-R-765.
Upon the conclusion of the election in Case No. 3-R-687, a Tally
of Ballots was furnished the parties in accordance with the Rules and
Regulations of the Board: No objections were filed by any of the
parties within the time provided therefor.
The tally shows that of the approximately 302 eligible voters, 277 cast
valid votes, of which 172 were for United Electrical, Radio & Machine
Workers of America, C. I. 0.; 42 for International Association of
Machinists, A.F. of L., and 63 for neither. Two ballots were chal-
lenged but since they cannot affect the results of the election, we find
it unnecessary to make any determination with respect, thereto. Ac-
cordingly, we shall hereinafter certify the winning union.
