Establishment of a valid trusteeship may have the effect of
suspending the operation of the election provisions of the Act. When the
autonomy otherwise available to a subordinate labor organization has
been suspended consistent with the provisions of title III of the Act,
officers of the organization under trusteeship may be relieved of their
duties and temporary officers appointed by the trustee if necessary to
assist him in carrying out the purposes for which the trusteeship was
established. However, when a regular election of officers or an election
for purposes of terminating the trusteeship is being held during the
trusteeship, title IV would apply.
