Wilson for alleged breach of the building trades labourers' award . by employing a non-union man when there was a unionist available to take his place. >. Mr. Edward Kennedy, secretary or the union, said that the question to be settled was whether the union was _ entitled to claim arrears in subscriptions incurred by a member who had paid his entrance fee, or whether a man who had paid his entrance fee but not his subscription, and was consequently struck off for being twelve mont.hs in arrears, could again become a member entitled to all privileges by paying another entrance fee. „ , It was agreed to state a ca-se ror the Arbitration Court, and judgment on the present prosecution was reserved.
