1Per curiam

The judgment of the district court, 337 F.Supp. 303 is affirmed. See Local Rule 21. 1 That court’s finding that the termination of Burch’s membership was arbitrary and discriminatory is not clearly erroneous. Moreover, the district court properly construed the “appropriate relief” provision of the Landrum-Griffin Act to permit the award of attorney’s fees in this case. 29 U.S.C. § 412; Gartner v.
