Stephen M. Reynolds, Senior Atty., of Minneapolis, Minn. (Robert B. Watts, Gen. Counsel, Howard Lichtenstein, Asst. Gen. Counsel, and Owsley Vose and John H. Garver, Attys., National Labor Relations Board, all of Washington, D. C., on the brief, for petitioner.
E. C. Halbach, of Clinton, Ia. (Wayne G. Cook, of Davenport, Ia., on the brief), for respondent.
Before SANBORN, WOODROUGH, and RIDDICK, Circuit Judges.

The evidence of the respondent tended to show that it had not been guilty of the unfair labor practices charged against it and that the three employees who were ordered to be reinstated had been discharged for reasons having nothing to do with their union or organizational activities. The evidence of the Board tended to show that the respondent was opposed to the unionization of its plant and to concerted activities on the part of its employees with respect to wages; that its attitude in these regards was made known to its employees; that it had discouraged unionization and collective bargaining in its plant; and that the discharges of two of the three employees referred to were attributable to their union activities, and the discharge of the third employee was due to his attempt to initiate concerted action to...
