The National Labor Relations Board, pursuant to Section 10(e) of the Labor Act [29 U.S.C. § 160(e)], moved for enforcement of its order pendente lite requiring Beverage-Air Company to cease and desist from continuing to restrain and coerce its employees in the exercise of their rights guaranteed by § 7 of the act [29 U.S.C. § 157]. The uncontroverted evidence establishes reasonable cause to believe the act has been violated and that the remedial purposes of the act will be frustrated unless relief pendente lite is granted.
