The following excerpt is from Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation v. Nylander, 14 F. Supp. 201 (S.D. Cal. 1936):
Of interest is the following statement from Pierce v. Society of Sisters, 268 U.S. 510, 536, 45 S.Ct. 571, 574, 69 L.Ed. 1070, 39 A.L.R. 468: "The suits were not premature: `The injury to appellees was present and very real, not a mere possibility in the remote future. If no relief had been possible prior to the effective
[14 F. Supp. 207]
date of the act, the injury would have become irreparable.'" This case was cited by complainant to the point that his complaint is not premature, a point as to which I hold no difference of opinion so far as it refers to the named defendants. The action, however, must be against the parties whose acts will cause the trouble. The case is in accord.[14 F. Supp. 207]
