PAYMENT OF UNION SUBSCRIPTIONS
* DECISION AGAINST NATIONAL UNION
(PSKSS AUOCU.TIOC mioillj WELLINGTON. July St.
In a test action brought by the Dairy Factory Workers’ Union for the recovery of the annual subscription from a member until the national executive fixed the amount of subscription—the subscription claimed being the amount payable under the rules of the defunct district union—Mr J. H. Luxford, S.M.. found against the union. He said it would have been competent for the Wellington district union, before its dissolution, to. have transferred its property, including the rights of action against members for dues in arrears, to trustees in trust for the national union, but unless it did so the national union had no legal right to recover any moneys which were owing to the dissolved district union, nor could the plaintiff union maintain an action for the recovery of any annual subscription from any of its members until the national executive council had fixed the- amount of subscription in accordance with th£ rules. • ~ ~ ■
