ENOCH, Senior Circuit Judge
(dissenting) .
I think we are in error in concluding that Allis-Chalmers is dispositive of the case before us, and that there is a difference here only of degree and not of kind. The forceful dissent of the four Justices in Allis-Chalmers and the limited concurrence of Mr. Justice White seem to me to dictate a very cautious application of the principle of that case to other cases (such as this one) which involve no impairment of the collective bargaining power and its concomitant strike weapon. I fear that the majority have unduly extended the scope of Allis-Chal-mers. In my opinion the coercive fines here imposed constituted an unfair labor practice, and the Board’s dismissal of the complaint herein should be reversed.
