Task: songer_appel1_3_2

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.
When coding the detailed nature of participants, use your personal knowledge about the participants, if you are completely confident of the accuracy of your knowledge, even if the specific information is not in the opinion. For example, if "IBM" is listed as the appellant it could be classified as "clearly national or international in scope" even if the opinion did not indicate the scope of the business. 

Your task concerns the first listed appellant. The nature of this litigant falls into the category "federal government (including DC)". Your task is to determine which category of federal government agencies and activities best describes this litigant.

PER CURIAM.
This is a petition to enforce an order of the National Labor Relations Board which found an employer guilty of the discriminatory discharge of an employee on account of union activity and contained the usual cease and desist and reinstatement provisions. The contention of the employer was that the employee was rightfully discharged for violation of a rule forbidding union activities on the employer’s time and property; the contention of the Board, that he was discharged at the instance of the representative of one of the unions representing the employees at the plant because he was endeavoring to bring in a rival union. The question involved was a pure question of fact; and we cannot say that the findings of the Board are not supported by substantial evidence on the record considered as a whole. As we said in Hartsell Mills Co. v. N. L. R. B., 4 Cir., 111 F.2d 291, 293: “It must be remembered, in this connection, that the question involved is a pure question of fact; that, in passing upon it, the Board may give consideration to circumstantial evidence as well as to that which is direct; that direct evidence of a purpose to violate the statute is rarely obtainable; and that where the finding of the Board is supported by circumstances from which the conclusion of discriminatory discharge may legitimately be drawn, it is binding upon the courts, as they are without power to find facts or to substitute their judgment for that of the Board.”
The order of the Board will be enforced.
Order enforced.
