Heading: As to the Adequacy of the Appellees' Remedy at Law.

Text: The appellants contend that the appellees have a full and adequate remedy at law and that therefore the causes of action set up in the bill of complaint are not cognizable in equity. In our opinion this contention cannot be sustained. The record clearly shows a shocking and constant disregard of the basic civil rights of the appellees by the appellants. These acts were torts and their threatened continuance is sufficient ground for the equitable relief sought and granted. Terrace v. Thompson, 263 U.S. 197, 214, 44 S.Ct. 15, 68 L.Ed. 255; Walla Walla v. Walla Walla Water Co., 172 U.S. 1, 11, 12, 19 S.Ct. 77, 43 L.Ed. 341; Osborne & Co. v. Missouri Pacific R. Co., 147 U.S. 248, 258, 13 S.Ct. 299, 37 L. Ed. 155. The decree of the court below is modified as heretofore indicated in this opinion by striking from paragraph 4 (d) of the injunction the words of limitation heretofore specified and is in all other respects affirmed.
