§381-10  Injunction.  In the event any
public utility employer or any employees of a public utility are found to be
violating or failing to comply with the requirements of this chapter or there
is reasonable cause to believe that the employer or employees are violating or
failing to comply with such requirements, the attorney general, at the attorney
general's own instance or at the request of the director of labor and
industrial relations, shall institute appropriate proceedings in the circuit in
which the violation occurs to enjoin the performance of any acts or practices
forbidden by this chapter, or to require the employer or employees to comply
with the requirements of this chapter.  Jurisdiction to hear and dispose of all
actions under this section is hereby conferred upon each circuit judge, and
each such judge may issue such orders and decrees, by way of injunction,
mandatory injunction or otherwise, as may be appropriate to enforce this
chapter.  All such suits shall be brought in the name of the State by the
attorney general.  The county attorney of each county shall, at the request of
the attorney general, conduct such proceedings in behalf of the State. [L 1949,
