Text: We have finished our discussion on the soundness and effect of all the evidence adduced in this case, and of the inferences which reasonably may be drawn therefrom. As to these departments, or the classes therein, it is evident from what has been said that the evidence adduced by Ward did not have the effect of destroying and refuting the evidence adduced in support of the complaint. Moreover, Ward's evidence was unsatisfactory in one regard and subject to conflicting inferences in another regard. On the other hand, we are prepared to state that the Board's evidence, upon which the inference of discriminatory discharge is based, is substantial and sufficient enough to justify a refusal to direct a verdict, if the trial were to a jury. As to these departments, therefore, we believe and conclude that the findings of the Board are supported by the evidence. Consequently, the order of the Board, based thereon, is ordered enforced.
