CENTRAL STATES DRIVERS COUNCIL, and International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, O v. r-the-Road and City Transfer Dri

PER CURIAM.

Following a hearing and other proceedings at the Trial Examiner and Board level, the Labor Board found that petitioners had violated section 8(b)(4)(A), the secondary boycott provision of the Labor Management Relations Act, by inducing and encouraging the employees of Bos Lines, Inc., and Burlington Truck Lines, Inc., to engage in a strike with an object of forcing these companies to cease doing business with Clark Brothers Transfer Company "and other nonunionized motor truck common carriers." The cease and desist order which followed ran against the unlawful activity as it might affect the Clark Company "or any other similar common carrier."

Added by 61 Stat. 141 (1947), 29 U.S C.A. § 158(b)(4) (A).

The evidence relied upon by the Board was in large part circumstantial. While not strong, the evidence was not so insubstantial as to warrant this court in holding that the Board went beyond its powers in resolving the factual doubts against petitioners.

Petitioners, referring to our recent decision in International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen Helpers of America, General Drivers and Helpers, Local No. 554 A.F.L.-C.I.O. v. N.L.R.B., 104 U.S.App. D.C. 359, 262 F.2d 456, contend that in any event the order is too broad because it requires them to cease the unlawful activity not only as to the Clark Company but also as to "any other similar common carrier." But the record before the Board in the present case supports its finding that the strikes were with the object of forcing Bos and Burlington to cease doing business not only with the Clark Company but with "other nonunionized motor truck common carriers." In these circumstances we construe the language of the order, "or any other similar common carrier," to mean any "other nonunionized motor truck common carriers" in Nebraska. As so construed the order of the Board will be

Affirmed.
