716 DECISIONS OF NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD
Company, herein called the Safe Deposit Company, filed Objections
to the Conduct of the Ballot and the Election Report, and on July
19, 1943, the Regional Director issued a report on those objections
and duly served upon the parties copies thereof.
The `Bank and the Safe Deposit Company contend that the Board
has no jurisdiction over either of them, and further, that the bar-
gaining unit found apapropriate, is actually composed of two units
improperly and erroneously joined. The Bank also contends that
the agent of the Board conducting the election erred in that he failed
to open and count the challenged ballots, and that the Election Report
failed to include a ruling upon said challenged ballots with the find-
ings and recommendations with respect thereto.
At the hearing in this matter and in their briefs, the Bank and
the Safe Deposit Company were given full opportunity to present
their views to the Board with respect to jurisdiction and appropriate
unit. In our Decision we gave careful consideration to these prob-
lems and, our, findings cannot properly. be-aatt
