Should there be any question in
your mind, as to the authenticity of
our right to represent your employ

Thanking you for your cooperation

Reilly added that the NLRB pro-
cedure is to- have the election in
the plant itself conducted by the
NLRB. On the ballot will be the
petitioning union and any other
union that can show that it repre-
sents over 10 per cent Of the en-
ployes.
The CLIO Steelworkers, who have
also been active in the area, may
have the necessary 10 per cent or
more as may have the international
Union Of Mine, Mill and Smelter
Workers, who likewise have a Col
umbia Falls office.
Reilly hopes that the election will
take place during September.
A factor is that if there is delay
in certifying the bargaining agent,
the matter of wage increases at the
plant is delayed. It does not seem
likely that the new round Of wage
increases can 60 into effect at the
plant until the question of a bargain
ing agent (viz: picking the union) is
settled. Base wage would then re-
main at SITS an hour until that
time.
