## Opinion text

STEPHENS, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I concur in the result. I am, though, impressed with the showing made that the Board’s orders impose an undue burden on Western. However, unless the orders of administrative boards and agencies are clearly illegal courts must not interfere with them. I am not convinced that the changes ordered are so unreasonable as to amount to lack of due process or that the orders are otherwise legally bad.
