The Board thereafter reconsidered the matter, vacated its original order and adopted “not only the findings, but also the conclusions and recommendations of the Trial Examiner”. The proceedings are now before us on the petition of the employer to review the action of the Board in determining that the employer had discharged the employees in question because of their opposition to the union’s leadership. As we held in our prior opinjon and as we reiterate from our own current second examination of the record, the Board’s findings in that regard are supported by substantial evidence on the whole case. That part of the Board’s order concerning back pay, including the interest allowed, is well within its discretion.

The petition for review will be denied. The order of the Board will be enforced in full. A proposed decree may be submitted by the Board.
