Syllabus

<p>Action-—Jurisdiction—Defect of Parties. Where the court has jurisdiction of the subject-matter of the action and of the parties before it, its jurisdiction cannot he assailed because a corporation, which had not been joined, was a necessary party to the action.</p> <p>Contempt—Violation of Injunction—Changed Conditions—Effect. After parties are enjoined from participating in the affairs of a corporation because they were not members, they cannot evade the injunction by proceeding to have themselves elected as members; hut it was their duty to show such a changed relation and apply for a modification of the decree, in order to avoid being guilty of contempt in violating the injunction.</p>
