ATLANTA TERMINAL COMPANY and Southern Railway Company, Appellants, v. SYSTEM FEDERATION NO. 21, RAILWAY EMPLOYES’ DEPARTMENT, AFL-CIO, Appellee.
    No. 25354.
    United States Court of Appeals Fifth Circuit.
    June 25, 1968.
    Edgar A. Neely, Jr., Atlanta, Ga., Charles J. Bloch, Macon, Ga., James I. Hardy, Washington, D. C., Herman Hey-man, Atlanta, Ga., for appellants.
    Richard M. Colasurd, Toledo, Ohio, Tom Watson Brown, Atlanta, Ga., Mulholland, Hickey & Lyman, Toledo, Ohio, Huie & Harland, Atlanta, Ga., for appellee.
    Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, BELL, Circuit Judge and MORGAN, District Judge.
   PER CURIAM:

This appeal questions the amount of the fees awarded counsel for plaintiffs in three actions to enforce awards of the Railway Adjustment Board. The statute, 45 U.S.C.A. § 153, subd. l(p), directs that the court allow a reasonable attorney’s fee when a plaintiff prevails in such cases. We are satisfied that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in the awards made here.

Affirmed.
