       Bruce R. Thompson, judge of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, sitting by designation.
    
   PER CURIAM:

The Board’s order will be enforced.

The early unilateral discontinuance of the health and welfare payments we conclude was an unfair labor practice. Hin-son v. N.L.R.B., 8 Cir., 428 F.2d 133.

The finding that the company refused to bargain to an impasse is supported by the record considered as a whole.

THOMPSON, District Judge, dissents on the refusal to bargain issue.
