McClendon v. Kenin

The plaintiff filed a complaint alleging'that the defendant labor organizations wrongfully refused to reinstate him as a member and prayed for damages and an injunction.

A bylaw of the defendant labor organization provides that a member shall be suspended from membership if such member owes a debt to another and fails to pay such debt or make satisfactory arrangements to pay it. Plaintiff alleged he had owed wages to other union members which he had not paid, but that plaintiff had been relieved from such debts by a discharge in bankruptcy. Defendants’ demurrer was sustained.
