CHARLES CLARK, Circuit Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part:
I concur in all Judge Roney writes except the fourth and final paragraph under the heading “Sections 101 and 102: Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act.” Plaintiffs asserted that the international president treated the members of their local union unequally vis-a-vis the members of the other locals by directing its business manager to sign a contract rejected by the membership of the local union. The claim was made that this discrimination was not practiced against other locals which rejected contracts and that it created the inequality which violated section 101(a)(1). In the absence of proof to the contrary, I would find that plaintiffs have stated a cause of action under this section.
