organization and asserted that it has "no desire" to influence the vote of any worker in the NLRB election to be held Wednesday. A labor or ganization chosen by employees said the management, will be recognized as bargaining agent.
 The company denied that it stated that the closed shop and the check off "un- American, saying that 1t stated that it believed" such to be the case.
 The CIO Mine, Mill & Shelter Workers union last week complained to Mrs. Fillmore Herrick, regional director of the NLRR, that the com pany had violated the law in its first news letter" and company publication known as "For the Rec ord". Mrs. Herrick upheld the con- plaints.
 Today's letter from the Scovill management to its employees is as follows:
 To All Employees:
 From June, 1942, your manage ment has distributed to you several issues of a publication titled For the Record" and one titled "Elec- tion News Letter" On or after Aug ust 5, 1942, there was distributed one Issue of For the Record" and the Election News Letter." We were in formed these publications were con- plained of to the Director of the Second Region, National Labor Re- lations Board, as being in violation of the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act).
 The Management has not been furnished copy of the complaint, but was invited to meet with Mrs. Fillmore M. Herrick, Regional Direc- tor of the Second Region, National Relations Board, on August II, 1942. at 2 p. m. At that meeting the Regional Director expressed the opinion that the two publications distributed on or after August B. 1922 were in violation of Section 8, Sub- section 1, of the National Labor Re- lations Act CWagner Act).
 We do not have a transcript of statements and claims made by the above mentioned meeting. We can presume that violations of the Wag- ner Act claimed were in general as follows:
 1. That the two publications dis tributed on or after August 5, 1942 constituted interference by Man agement with the workers right
 to organize, and interference, in timidation or coercion of employees by influencing their vote in the elec- tion to be held August 19, 1942.
 ?. That statements in these pub lications concerning the "closed shop" "check-off," seniority, |" higher wages, and grievance pro- cedure closed the doors to future collective bargaining on these Sub- jects.
 3. That the following statements In Election News Letter were un- true: "The Company believes the closed shop is un-American" and The Company believes the check off is un-American."
 The Management cannot agree with Mrs. Herrick that distribution of these publications violates the National Labor Relations Act (Wag- oer Act).
 Whether or not distribution of these publications was 8 violation of the law, this Company wants no misunderstanding in the minds of Its employees. I, therefore, make the
