It is ordered that the Master’s findings of fact and conclusions of law be and hereby are adopted in their entirety.

It is further ordered that David Contris is hereby adjudged not guilty of civil contempt of this court for violating and disobeying the aforesaid judgments.

It is further ordered that respondents Clinton Packing Company, Inc., William Contris, and Clarence Turner shall purge themselves of such contempt by:
