The Board found that respondent violated § 8(a). (5) and (1) of the Labor Management Relations Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 158 (a) (1, 5), hereafter the Act, by refusing to bargain with Local 43-B, American Federation of Hosiery Workers, the duly designated representative o.f the majority of respondent’s employees, and violated § 8(a) (3) and (1) by discriminatorily refusing to rehire four employees upon reopening of the mill after a shutdown.

Respondent does not challenge the validity of the Board’s order relating to the §■ 8 (a) (3) violation. It contends that the order should be modified by striking the provision requiring reinstatement of four named employees discriminated against because reinstatement has heretofore been offered said employees.
