1Opinion of the Court
PELL, Circuit Judge.
Plaintiffs Wood, Bowers, and Lowry appeal from the dismissal of their complaint by the district court. The district court held that.it lacked jurisdiction over the subject matter of the action under the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, the Landrum-Griffin Act (29 U.S.C. § 401 et seq.), and that plaintiffs’ membership rights in the union had not been violated. Further, the court found the complaint premature “because of plaintiffs’ failure to invoke and exhaust required, reasonable, fair and adequate internal Union procedures and remedies.”
