This case came on to be heard upon the record and briefs and oral argument of counsel.
And it appearing that the findings of the Board are supported by substantial evidence (Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. v. National Labor Relations Board, 2 Cir., 112 F.2d 657, 660, affirmed 312 U. S. 660, 61 S.Ct. 736, 85 L.Ed. 1108; National Labor Relations Board v. Southern Bell Telephone & Telegraph Co., 319 U. S. 50, 60, 63 S.Ct. 905, 910, 87 L.Ed. 1250);

Cf. Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. v. National Labor Relations Board, 2 Cir., 112 F. 657, 660.
