NLRB CALLS FOR ELECTION AT TIONESTA (Continued From Page One) Last summer Shaw workers voted "no union" in a two-way election in which the CIO's IWA was the only labor union on the ballot. The AFL charged the CIO with raiding an AFL pep meeting prior to the balloting. In the ruling received Friday the labor board stated that "all production and maintenance em ployes of the company at its Ti- onesta plant including sawmill, box factory, machine shop, yard. planing mill and green chain em ployes and watchmen and ware housemen, but excluding all em ployes engaged in logging oper ations, clerical, store, sales and supervisory employes, cookhouse employes and employes of the Lawrence Warehouse company, constitute a unit appropriate for the purpose of collective bar gaining,, and that such unit will insure to the employes of the company full benefit of their right to self organization and to collective bargaining and other wise effectuate the policies of the Wagner act." The decision further states 'The IWA and the company ad vanced no argument for inclu sion of the truck drivers as dis tinguished from other woods em ployes . . . Local 2544 desiring to exclude them along with other woods employes." The truck drivers were excluded. Officials of both the CIO and the AFL said they are prepared to participate in the election, Joe Boyd and Mike Pavolka, AFL organizers in this area, said the decision states that there are only 24 IWA-CIQ designa tions in the mill unit. Boyd declared that "there is no doubt" of the proper AFL bargaining organization, and that the AFL contends that an elec tion should not be necessary. "It would be proper and le gal," Boyd said, "for the com pany to recognize the union without an election. "However, we are prepared to participate, L. H. Fenton, international representative of the IWA, said mat his organization Is also pre pared to participate. Commenting further on the de cision, Boyd said, "We feel es pecially good because every point for which we contended, even in minor details, was granted. Our members at Tion esta appreciate the length to which the government has gone to give them a chance to get a collective bargaining agree ment." REACHES KOBE NEW YORK.
