1Opinion of the Court

Baldbige, J.,

Opinion by

This appeal by the plaintiff is from a judgment in defendant’s favor in an action of assumpsit brought by the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania, which was organized and incorporated to assist contractors engaged in heavy building and construction work in the western part of Pennsylvania, against Seeds and Derham, members of the association, to recover a certain sum alleged to be payable under appellant’s by-laws.

The pivotal question for our determination is whether the particular by-law invoked by the plaintiff is illegal and void as against public policy.
