1Opinion of the Court
THORNBERRY, Circuit Judge.
This case concerns the status quo or “freeze” provisions of the Railway Labor Act applicable to major disputes. It arises out of a wildcat strike by the carrier’s employees while the orderly processes provided by the Act were running their course. The question is whether the carrier, under the unusual circumstances of this ease, violated the status quo by discharging strikers who refused to return to work under court order. The district court held that it did not, and, accordingly, that the employees were not entitled to reinstatement. We REVERSE and REMAND.
