National Labor Relations Board v. Erie Resistor Corporation
Argued: Feb. 18 and 19, 1963. --- Decided: May 13, 1963
Mr. Justice HARLAN, concurring.
I agree with the Court that the Board's conclusions respecting this 20-year 'superseniority' plan were justified without inquiry into the respondents' motives. However, I do not think that the same thing would necessarily be true in all circumstances, as for example with a plan providing for a much shorter period of extra seniority. Being unsure whether the Court intends to hold that the Board has power to outlaw all such plans, irrespective of the employer's motives and other circumstances, or only to sustain its action in the particular circumstances of this case, I concur in the judgment.

Codrington, he took part in the battle of Navarin, 20 Oct. 1827. He then rejoined the Philomel, and during his continuance in that vessel received a very severe injury in the performance of his duty, which confined him for several weeks to his hammock.

On 28 Nov. 1798, while conducting a prize to Plymouth, Mr. Atwater was unfortunately taken prisoner; but, being released at the end of eleven months, was enabled to rejoin the Sylph, in which he continued to serve until transferred, in July, 1801, to the Ville de Paris 110, flag-ship of Hon.

After officiating for nearly four years as Midshipman on the same station, of the Seringapatam 46 and Pelican 18, Capts. Chas. Sotheby and Wm. Alex. Baillie Hamilton, under the former of whom he saw much anti-piratical boat service, Mr. Austen was appointed Mate, in Aug. 1828, of the Blonde 46, Capt. Edm.

He assumed his present rank 23 Nov. 1841; and since 10 Nov. 1845, has been in command of the Alecto steam-sloop, on the south-east coast of America.

Thomas Atkinson is son of the late Thos. Atkinson, Esq., of Salisbury, co. Wilts; and brother of the present Lieut. Geo. Atkinson, R.N., as also of Lieut. John Atkinson (1812), who died in 1819. This officer entered the Navy, in Feb. 1806, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board L’Aimable frigate, Capt. Hon. Duncombe Pleydell Bouverie, with whom he afterwards served for upwards of six years, as Midshipman, in the Medusa 32. During that period ​he participated in all the operations in the Rio de la Plata, from Oct. 1806, until the Medusa’s return home with Lieut.-Gen. Whitelocke, on the final evacuation of Spanish America in Sept. 1807, including the capture of Maldonado and of the island of Gorriti; assisted in taking several privateers; was for three months exposed to considerable hardships during a fruitless pursuit of two French frigates to the coast of Labrador; and co-operated much with the patriots on the north coast of Spain. He also, on the night of 4 June, 1812, served in the boats, under Lieut. Josiah Thompson, at the capture and destruction, in the harbour of Arcasson, of La Dorade storeship, of 14 guns and 86 men, after a violent conflict, in which the British had 5 men wounded, and in which 63 of the enemy (who had hailed the latter in their approach, and were in every way prepared for the attack) were either killed or compelled to jump overboard. In July, 1812, Mr. Atkinson became Acting-Lieutenant of the Lyra sloop, but it was not until 28 May, 1813, that (having been re-attached to the Medusa, and been employed for some time also in the Impétueux 74, flag-ship off Lisbon of Sir Geo. Martin, and in the Magicienne 36, Capt. Hon. Wm. Gordon) he at length obtained confirmation. Towards the close of the same year we find him serving off the coast of Africa in the Plover 18, Capt. Colin Campbell. He returned to England in March, 1814, on board the Favorite 20, Capt. John Maxwell, and has since been on half-pay.
Lieut. Atkinson married, in 1816, Miss Lewanna Smith, and has issue eight children.

​BURT, Thomas, M.P., was born Nov. 12, 1837, at Murton Row, near Percy Main, Northumberland, being the son of Peter Burt, a coal-miner. While he was yet a child, seventeen months old, his parents went to Whitley, whence they had to remove about a year afterwards, when the pit was thrown out of gear by an explosion. Their next place of abode was New Row, Seghill, now styled Blake Town, where they remained five years, and at a later period they settled at the Seaton Delaval colliery. Young Burt, who had been working in the coal-pits from an early age, here began that course of self-culture which has gone so far to supply the deficiencies of his previous education. In 1860 he removed to Choppington, and married Mary, daughter of Thomas Weatherburn. In 1865 he was appointed Secretary to the Northumberland Miners' Mutual Association. In this capacity he rendered himself so popular among the miners that it was determined to nominate him as the working class candidate for the representation of Morpeth at the general election of Feb., 1874. He was returned by 3332 votes against 585 given for Captain Duncan, the Conservative candidate. The Northumberland miners have voluntarily taxed themselves to the extent of £500 a year, in order to supply him with the means of supporting the honour of a seat in the House of Commons. In June, 1880, he was elected a member of the Reform Club by the Political Committee, under the rule empowering the body to elect two candidates in each year for marked and obvious services to the Liberal cause. Mr. Burt presided over the ​Miners' Conference, held at Manchester in Sept., 1882.

​BURNETT, Mrs. Frances, née Hodgson, born at Manchester, England, Nov. 24, 1849. There she passed the first fifteen years of her life, acquired her education, and gained her knowledge of the Lancashire dialect and character. At the close of the American Civil War reverses of fortune led her parents to leave England for America, where ​they settled at Knoxville, Tennessee. She has contributed several love-stories to American magazines. In 1872 her dialect story, "Surly Tim's Trouble," was published in Scribner's Monthly (now The Century), and in book form in 1877. "That Lass o' Lowrie's" was first presented, serially, in Scribner, and its remarkable popularity demanded its immediate separate issue, 1877. In 1878–79 some of her earlier magazine stories were reprinted, viz., "Kathleen Mavourneen," "Lindsay's Luck," "Miss Crespigny," "Pretty Polly Pemberton," and "Theo." Since then she has published three new stories, "Haworth's," 1879; "Louisiana," 1880; "A Fair Barbarian," 1881; and a fourth, now running in The Century, "Through One Administration," will appear shortly. Miss Hodgson was married in 1873 to Dr. Burnett, and she now resides at Washington, D.C.

​BUSK, Miss Rachel H., is the youngest daughter of the late Hans Busk, Esq., of Great Cumberland Place, London, a man of elevated tastes and attainments, which were devoted to the education of his family. Since the death of her father Miss Busk has directed her attention to literary and artistic pursuits. Frequent residences and travels in the South of Europe not only gave a direction to her literary labours, but afforded opportunities of close and critical observation which have been turned to good advantage. Her power of graphic description has been well shown in her contributions to current literature. Miss Busk has also published "Contemporary Annals of Rome;" a collection of stories from Spanish Folklore and Romanceros under the title of "Patrañas" (the Spanish designation for them); a similar collection from the Tyrol called "Household Stories from the Land of Hofer;" "Sagas from the far East," being the first complete version published in English of the "Siddhî-kür" and "Ardschi-Bordschi" Tales; "The Folklore of Rome, collected by Word of Mouth from the People;" and "The Valleys of Tirol: their Traditions and Customs, and How to Visit Them," 1874.
