U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
Atlanta Terminal Company and Southern Railway Company v. System Federation No. 21, Railway Employes' Department, Afl-Cio, 397 F.2d 250 (5th Cir. 1968)
58 Lab. Cas. (CCH) 12,990
Atlanta Terminal Company and Southern Railway Company v. System Federation No. 21, Railway Employes' Department, Afl-Cio
Opinion
This appeal questions the amount of the fees awarded counsel for plaintiffs in three actions to enforce awards of the Railway Adjustment Board. The statute, 45 U.S.C.A. § 153, subd. l(p), directs that the court allow a reasonable attorney’s fee when a plaintiff prevails in such cases. We are satisfied that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in the awards made here.
Affirmed.
