Opinion of the Court
MR. Justice Frankfurter

MR. Justice Frankfurter delivered the opinion of the Court.

In its petition the Continental Oil Company challenged various provisions of an order of the Labor Board which the Circuit Court of Appeals had enforced, but we brought here only so much of the case as pertained to the reinstatement of two men, Jones and( Moore, 311 U. S. 637. Continental’s contention is that reinstatement was precluded because neither man remained an “employee” within § 2 (3) of the National Labor Relations Act. The decisive question, however, as we have ruled in the Phelps Dodge case, ante, p. 177, is whether, reinstatement will “effectuate the policies” of the Act. We therefore remand the case , for an exercise by the Board of its judgment on thát issue, in light of our opinion in the Phelps Dodge case. Remanded
