In the Matter of SWIFT MANUFACTURING COMPANY and TEXTILE
WORKERS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
Case No. R-458
ORDER DISMISSING PETITION
June 21, 1939
On January 26, 1938, the National Labor Relations Board, herein
called the Board, issued a Decision and Direction of Election 1 in the
above-entitled case. The Direction of Election directed that an elec-
tion be held among all employees of the Swift Manufacturing Com-
pany, Columbus, Georgia, who were employed by the Company during
the pay-roll period next preceding September 27, 1937, excluding
clerical and supervisory employees and those who quit or were dis-
charged for cause between such date and the date of election, to de-
termine whether or not they desire to be represented by Textile Work-
ers Organizing Committee for the purposes of collective bargaining.
On February 10, 1938, the Board issued its Order amending its
Direction of Election by striking out the words "within fifteen (15)
days from the date of this Direction," and substituting therefor the
words "at such time as the Board will in the future direct." 2
In view of the lapse of time since the Direction of Election, the
Board will not proceed with a determination of representatives upon
the basis of the record heretofore developed in this proceeding. Ac-
cordingly, the petition upon which this proceeding is based will be
dismissed, without prejudice, however, to the right of the Textile
Workers Organizing Committee to file a new petition, requesting an
investigation and certification of representatives pursuant to Section
9 (c) of the Act.
