Before BAZELON, Chief Judge, and BURGER and WRIGHT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:
The background of this case is adequately exposed in our prior opinion, reported at 117 U.S.App.D.C. 233, 328 F.2d 534 (1964). Therein we remanded the case to the Board "so that the record may be supplemented with the text and details of Paragraphs Four and Five" of the bargaining agreement between the G. Oberman Company and the Building and Construction Trades Council of San Bernardino and Riverside Counties, AFL-CIO. 117 U.S.App.D.C. at 238-239, 328 F.2d at 539-540. The record has now been supplemented with these paragraphs1 of the contract, as well as additional evidence, and the Board, after reconsideration in the light of the additional evidence, has reaffirmed its prior order. 153 N.L.R.B. No. 80 (July 7, 1965).
We conclude, with the Board, that Paragraphs Four and Five are inseparable, and that the union's2 threat to picket for violation of Paragraph Five was in fact an attempt on its part, in violation of § 8(b) (4) (ii) (B), 73 Stat. 525, 542, 29 U.S.C. § 158(b) (4) (ii) (B), to employ secondary pressure to compel Oberman to cease doing business with a subcontractor because it was not a signatory to a contract with the union.3 For this reason, we affirm action of the Board and enforce its order.
Affirmed.
