1Opinion of the CourtHammond, J.
The suit below was by Fiorita, a discharged employee of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, against the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Lodge No. 124, an unincorporated group of which he was a member in good standing, and the chairman of the grievance committee of the Lodge, McCorkle. The appeal is from a judgment for defendants for costs, Judge Tucker having sustained demurrers to the amended declaration after holding (1) that a member of an unincorporated union cannot sue the group as an entity, and (2) that the declaration did not allege any breach of duty owed Fiorita by McCorkle.
