There will be three choices on the ballot —Xo Union, AFL and CIO. You have the right to choose whatever you want. The most important thing for you to do is rote. In order for the election results to speak for the majority of Erwin Mills employees, everyone should vote his or her personal choice. Don't let "the other fellow" do the voting. Take time off your job to do your share in this election. The Company has assured you that your eaniings will not suffer when you take time off the job to vote. The polls will be open long enough so that everyone, 110 mat ter what shift he is on, ean vote. The ballot will be seeret and the election is to be supervised by the National Labor Relations Board. The XLRB does not take sides on the question. It is their job to see that the eleetion is honest and representative of the majority of the workers. We are all familiar with groups where a few people do most of the work and usually eontrol the group. This is not majority rule and it could happen here at Erwin Mills unless every qualified voter does his share by voting. It's the ma jority of people who vote in this eleetion that decides the winner; not the majority of all employees. Vote as vou please 011 October 1 but VOTE!
