OP) A't temporary Injunction blocking aale ot the ahlpplng board'a California-Orient line, waa isaued today by Justice HIM ' of the District of CoAimbla supreme conrt, , The Injunction waa issued on peti tion o( the (Paciflo Mall company, which now operates the line and and which waa an unsuccessful bid der for lta purchase against the Dol lar interests. , Reasons Cited 'i In lta petition the Pacific Mall com pany contended that the board's de cision to sell the five vessels to the Dollar company, decided on after a bitter row among board membera and by a majority of one, was illegal for. many reasons. Such a snlo, the petitioner declared would seriously disrupt Its business. I( was alleged also that the Pacific Mail had not been given ample oppor tunity to bid for the ahlps. The action of the Pacific Mail Steamship company was filed after scvoral days of conferences in which the company's officials . and counsel canvassed the entire situation result ing from the acceptance by tho board of the cash bid of the Dollar Interests and rejection of Pacific Mall part cash, part deferred payments bid. ; Board Casta Vote The board meantime went on rec ord yesterday as holding that no legal barrier could lie against the Bale, de claring by a vote of 8 to 3 that there), waa nothing' to refer to the attorney general for an opinion. Such an opin ion waa Bought by Vice-Chairman l'lummcr, ono of the opponents of the snlo In a formal motion. The board similarly Is expected tot decline to accept service In the In junction proceedings, but final decis ion on that point probably will rest with Attorney General Sargent.
