Before JONES, GEWIN and CLARK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
At a consent election conducted under the supervision of the Regional Director of the National Labor Relations Board, 252 votes were cast for the Union as the bargaining agent for a unit of the employees of Economy Furniture Company, 83 votes were cast against the Union and nine challenged votes were not counted. The Company refused to bargain, claiming that the election was invalid and asserted a number of contentions in support of its position. In a proceeding before the National Labor Relations Board it was decided that the Company had violated Section 8(a) (5) and (1) of the National Labor Relations Act, and it was directed to bargain with the Union. Incidental relief was granted. The Board has petitioned for the enforcement of its order.
The issues, which are predominantly factual, were resolved by the Board against the Company. There is substantial evidence on the record as a whole to sustain the Board's findings and decision. Its order will be
Enforced.
