Before BAZELON, Chief Judge, and EDGERTON and WILBUR K. MILLER, Senior Circuit Judges.


In a former appeal we enforced in large part a previous Board order, but remanded the case to the Board for further consideration of two questions: whether the strike was an unfair labor practice strike from its inception, and whether any of the 77 strikers denied reinstatement by the Board should be reinstated in light of the principles enunciated in National Labor Relations Board v. Thayer Co., 213 F.2d 748 (1st Cir.), cert. denied, 348 U.S. 883, 75 S.Ct. 123, 99 L.Ed. 694 (1954). On remand the Board determined that the strike was an unfair labor practice from its inception, and that 57 of the 74 surviving strikers who had been denied reinstatement should be reinstated. The Kohler Company petitions for review.

112 U.S.App.D.C. 107, 300 F.2d 699, cert. denied 370 U.S. 911, 82 S.Ct. 1258, 8 L.Ed.2d 405 (1962).

The Board properly applied the principles announced in our initial decision, and its determinations are supported by substantial evidence on the record viewed as a whole, Universal Camera Corp. v. National Labor Relations Board, 340 U.S. 474, 71 S.Ct. 456, 95 L.Ed. 456 (1951). The petition for review will be denied, and the Board's supplementary order enforced in full.

So ordered.

WILBUR K. MILLER, Senior Circuit Judge, dissents.
