No. 313.
Argued March 27-28, 1961.

William S. Frates argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioner.
Harold B. Wahl argued the cause for respondents. With him on the brief was E. F. P. Brigham.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
The petition for certiorari in this case raised solely a question regarding the bearing of the Railway Labor Act on the enforcement of the Federal Employers' Liability Act. The petition was granted. 364 U. S. 869. After full argument and due consideration, it became manifest that the course of litigation and the decisions in the Florida courts did not turn on the issue on the basis of which certiorari was granted. Accordingly, the writ is dismissed.
