trio Go. Employees Representation
Plan, described as a voluntary asso-
ciation or the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers, No. 585,
should represent the employees in COL
lective bargaining.
The petitions said the Federal Dis
trict Court at Ell Paso enjoined the
board from enforcing the act against
the company and from interfering
with the existing employer-employe
