Task: songer_counsel1

What follows is an opinion from a United States Court of Appeals.
Intervenors who participated as parties at the courts of appeals should be counted as either appellants or respondents when it can be determined whose position they supported. For example, if there were two plaintiffs who lost in district court, appealed, and were joined by four intervenors who also asked the court of appeals to reverse the district court, the number of appellants should be coded as six.
Your task is to determine the nature of the counsel for the appellant. If name of attorney was given with no other indication of affiliation, assume it is private - unless a government agency was the party

PER CURIAM.
Upon administrative findings that respondents had violated § 8(a)(1) and § 8 (a)(3) of the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, 29' U.S.C.A. § 158(a) (1, 3), the Board issued its order against respondents in the usual terms, including a requirement that respondents reinstate with back pay three employees found to have been discriminatorily discharged for union activity. The present petition by the Board is for enforcement of this order.
Though the respondents filed elaborate Exceptions to the Trial Examiner’s Intermediate Report, which exceptions the Board overruled in its Decision and Order, respondents offered no- defense in this court to the pending enforcement petition either by way of brief or oral argument.
Upon consideration of the whole record in the case, we are satisfied that the Board’s jurisdiction has been adequately established, and that the Board’s findings of fact, upon which the order was predicated, were supported by substantial evidence. The terms of the remedial order were appropriate and within the discretion confided to the administrative agency.
A decree will be entered enforcing the order of the Board.
