desist therefrom and take certain affirmative action. The Decision

was held before the Board at Washington , D. C., on July -9, 1946.

MR. GERARD D. REILLY, concurring in part and dissenting in part :
I agree with my colleagues as to the disposition of this case, except
that I entertain doubt, as to whether Linda Nelsestuen was dis-
criminatorily discharged. I would therefore dismiss the complaint
as to her.
