AS WE SEE IT

(Continued from Page One) ions, the National War Labor Board revealed this week. In fact, during the three months ending June 30 more elections were held than in any previous quarter in the Boards history. The total, 1,2l4, exceeded by 70 the all time high point reached in the January through March quarter.
 Nearly 100000 workers cast bal lots during the three months. and in 83.9 per cent of the. contests unions won out. The results indi- cate quite clearly, N. L. R. B. spOkesmen said, that the barrage of anti-union propaganda let loose during the war hasn't had much effect where it was calculated to count the most-amOng the work CTS themselves.
