Arranging to Tear Down the Old City
Wall at Manila.

story comes from Manila that convict
labor may be used in tearing down the wall
on the river side of the old walled city. The
BiIibid authorities offer to supply prisoners
to do the work in return for the stone, and
It is said that the acceptance of the offer
depends entirely upon the matter of trans
portation. If the Bilibid authorities can
provide the necessary trucks they will be
given the contract for razing the cncicnt
battlemented structure alongside o. sig
river which is to be removed to IN

mittee on grievances made several re-
ports. They recommended no action

accepted.
A favorable report instructing the
Amalgamated Society OF Carpenters to

Some discussion followed on a grievance

charged the latter with inducing several
Woodworkers unions to Join the Carpen-

CANNOT SUE
EXPELLED
MEMBER
Decision Of Appellate Court In
Case Of l'UnIen 81. Jean
Baptlsts vs.. 0stlguay.

The opinion OF the appellate division OF
81. Jean Baptiste de Pawtucket vs..
Thomas Ostigny was handed down by
Chief Justice stinsss today. This case
came UP on exceptions from the Pawtuck-
ct district court and the question raised
was whether or not q eociety could SIZE .
member for dues after having expelled
him for non-payment We think ths
question must be answered IN the mega
tive" is the opinion arrived at by the
court
Chief Justice stinese wrote the opinion
In this case and In the course OF the same
says: AS a general rule when a penalty
is enforced for a default Il is a waiver of
other remedies for the same default un-
der the contract. The plaintiff claims,
however that the collection OF part dues
IL a right OF the society. This 10 unsffect-
ed by the penalty OF expulsion. An obvious
reply 70 this position is that dues are
paid for the beneht and privileges OF
membership. So long as member pays
them he is entitled, In this respect. to
remain member. The society in It's by
laws elects 10 take the forfeiture of men,
bership In lien OF unpaid dues. because II
II can collect the dues after the forfeiture
the member would no longer be In default
and the reason for expulsion would no
longer remain, yet he would stand legally
expelled. Recovery OF such dues at law
amounts to compelling member TO per-
form his part without giving him the
benefits OF membership.
Membership and liability for dues are
corelative. One cannot stand without the
other. It is quasi contract, But IL q con-
tract provides for O payment OF money
and In default thereof for the forfeiture
OF something else. an action. after for
feiture has been exacted. cannot be main
tained for the money under the contract
A >Sorgeiture which has been enforced
amounts to a satisfaction Of the con-
tract"
The opinion then deals with the deci-
sions in regard 10 relative rights OF bene-
fetal societies and members thereof. II
IL known that In many cases through the
agreement between members and the So
ciety is looked upon as a contract in quite
a number OF cases II Is held that the so
cieties cannot collect assessments
