1Opinion of the Court
CASTLE, Senior Circuit Judge.
Plaintiff Joseph M. Driscoll instituted this action against Local No. 139 of the International Union of Operating Engineers seeking to force the Local to discontinue requiring all candidates for union office to execute a non-Communist affidavit. Because its by-laws required that its local unions demand such an affidavit, the international union intervened. On March 23, 1972, the district court dismissed Driscoll’s complaint for want of jurisdiction. Driscoll v. International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 139, 339 F.Supp. 757 (E.D.Wis. 1972).
