Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Leonard W. Holt, Norfolk, Va., for appellant.

J. M. Breckenridge, James A. Simpson, Birmingham, Ala., Lange, Simpson, Robinson & Somerville, by Henry E. Simpson, Birmingham, Ala., of counsel, for appellee.

Before JONES and BROWN, Circuit Judges, and De VANE, District Judge.


PER CURIAM.

The district court entered an order denying an application for a temporary injunction. The plaintiffs have appealed from the order. Whether or not a temporary injunction is to be granted rests largely within the discretion of the district courts. It is not generally regarded as a matter of right. Yakus v. United States, 321 U.S. 414, 64 S.Ct. 660, 88 L.Ed. 834; Home Decorators, Inc. v. Herfort, 5 Cir., 1950,
