¶1Jacob I. Karro, Attorney, Washington, D. C., with whom Charles Donahue, Solicitor of Labor, Morton Liftin, Assistant Solicitor, Sigmund R. Balka, Attorney, Washington, D. C., and Thomas L. Thistle, Regional Attorney, Boston, Mass., were on brief, for appellant.
¶2Jacob Stone, Boston, Mass., for appellee.
¶3Before WOODBURY, Chief Judge, and HARTIGAN and ALDRICH, Circuit Judges.
¶5For some eight years, seemingly even after the issuance of a permanent injunction by consent, appellee repeatedly violated the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 201 et seq. A year following the last discovered violation appellee moved in the district court to have the injunction “cancelled” on the ground that it was a restriction on its business, which it described as highly competitive. The court, having found without any basis except talk that the injunction caused appellee “irreparable damage,” and having found no change in circumstances in appellee’s methods of operation, granted the motion. The injunction, of course, merely directed appellee to do what the law obliged him to do in the first place. It requires a strong showing to justify the requested relief. United States v. Swift & Co., *1521926, 286 U.S. 106, 52 S.Ct. 460, 76 L.Ed. 999; Walling v. Harnischfeger Corp., 7 Cir., 1957,242 F.2d 712. There was nothing here approaching this.
¶6Judgment will be entered vacating the order of the District Court dissolving the injunction and ordering the injunction reinstated.
