(DPI). Courthouse Employes Vote Affiliation With United Steelworkers a 32 to 14 vote, the courthouse employes here elected to affiliate with United Steelworkers of America (USW), AFL-CIO. The election was held from 2 to 4 p. m. Wednesday in the assembly room of the courthouse.

The voting was supervised by Matthew J. Purpura, representative of the Pennsylvania Labor Relations Board. (PLRB). A total of 67 employes were eligible to vote and a majority of 50 per cent plus one of the votes was needed to approve the union. Purpura said the tally sheets along with his report will be sent to Harrisburg for certification.

Because of the current backlog, he estimated the certification will take approximately two weeks. Watchers at the election were Mrs. James Houston, director of the personal property tax office, representing the employ- es. James Reeher, deputy sheriff, served as watcher for the county. Donald Atwell, representative of USW observed the count.

Those employes who were not eligible to vote were the staff personnel in the court connected offices, including probation, clerk of courts, prothonotary, domestic relations, district at- torney, public defender, jail and directors and assistant directors of county offices. They were not elegible because their positions are not connected in the collective bargaining between the county commissioners and the USW, AFL-CIO. Of the 67 eligible voters, 11 were considered professional personnel. They include employ- es in the child welfare and mem- tal health and mental retardation offices. These persons could elect whether or not to belong to the union.

Of the 11, only one voted. Purpura said this will be included in his report and the PLRB will determine the disposition of his vote. The election was a result of an organization meeting last December when courthouse em- ployes met in an effort of the Republicans to hold their jobs after the election when the Democratic commissioners obtained a majority of the seats.

There is little revolutionary about it.

It's a story of hard work converted into votes at the Democratic National Convention which gave him the party's nomination Wednesday night.

William Jones, assistant district engineer in charge of construction for estimates that work wffl be delayed three to three and one half weeks. The delay apparently is not related to the recent flocdings, but rather stems from the fact that the earth used on the construction site becomes unusable when wet. A single day of rain can cause wetness which might not dry out for several days.
