 In the motion for dissolution of the injunction the company alleged IacK lof Jurisdiction and failure to give notice that the order was to be grant. ed. 1t is asked that the order be dissolved only so far as it forces lthe company to reinstate Hyatt ana it be allowed to stand in reference ito the reemployment of union men.
