RIGHTS or LiROR UNIONS.
An Important Question the Court ~ ~.
pcaiS Is Askei 10 Decide

ALBANY. Nov. i.-Anotier action m
volving the rights Of labor unions wan
argued this afternoon before the Court
OF Appeals. The question before the court
was whether union or it's members are
liable in damages to member HON they
refuse To allow TO work a. n urnon man"
The affirmative Of this proposii ion has
been held in the courts below. alt hougl no
opinion has been written by any Of the
Judges before whom the case has come
i opinion Of ,he Court of Appeals will,
the refore, lie aw ai,nd with much int crest,
as the principle involved is iTnortart ard
far-reaching.
The attorney for the UNION in this case,
William p. Judd OF Albany, relies largely
upon the recent decision of the Court Of
Appeals tlat labor organization may
properly refuse 10 permit its members 10
work with the members of a rival organi.
ion. and that rival organization or any
member thereof discharged IRON a job has
no right of action. because one ORGANISE
ton has threatened 10 alabuon the job
unless members Of the rival organizations
are discharged
The case now before the court arc SO in
Richmond county. ard was brought by
James Mcclure against William }. Corey,
as president of the Journeymcn Bricklayeru'
International Protective Tnion No. II ~
Staten Island
On Nav 30 1899, Mcclure was fined SIS,
after having been found guilty of certain
offences against the uEitn in question.
Three months was given him to pay tie
fine. On Nov. 90 1899. more than two
months after the time for tie payment OF
the fine had expired. he rendered the fine,
which was not accepted
Pursuant to its bylaws, the union could
only suspend until paynont Of fine.
Mcclure procured a mandamus compelling
the union 10 accept the fine and restore him
| to active membership. Tie mandamus
was ustairci by the Second Depart rnent
| Of the Appellate Division, and then Mcclure
| 81 ed to recover damages for loss of nplov-
! ment between the date whel the fine was
| rendered and refused. and Jan. y, 1900,
| wi Ell the order allowing a mandamus was
| affirmed 10y tie Appellate Division Tie
| dee 1dant offered no evidence and the jury
| gave Mcclure a verdict Of SlOs. A new
trial was denied the defendant. and tho
Appellate Division again unanimously az
| frne 4 tho action of the lowe court. Tie
| defendant ten appealed 10 the Court Of
| App eals.
II Is McGuires contention that the re-
| fusal Of his union to accept the fine when
rendered was legal wrong, and that he can
recover damages, which was tie loss Of
| employment
Counsel for the union asserts that thepe
| was no proof that it refused to allow McGuife
I TO work a. union man" but asserts that
4 Mcclure refused employment during the
peadency Of the suit II further cont ended
| that even II il had as a body refused To
allow any of it's members to work for those
| who employed Mcclure. and he lost ON
| ploymen' az q result, still neither the union
nor any OF its members would he Liable
in damages.
