FLAXMILLS’ EMPLOYEES UNION LEVY.
MEMBER REPUDIATES PAYMENT.
JUDGMENT RESERVED
A case of importance to members of the Manawatu Flaxmills’ Employees Union was heard at the Palmerston S.M. Court yesterday, before Mr Poynton S.M., when the Union (Mr Cooper) proceeded against C. Franks, of Foxton (Mr Innes) claiming 13s, the amount of a levy which the Union had imposed on its members, and which defendant had not paid. The facts of the case, as elicited by the evidence, were that the Union struck a levy at a special meeting in aid of the defence fund ot the N.Z. Federation of Labour, which fund was for the purpose of fighting cases in the Arbitration Court. On the dissolution of the Federation of Labour some months afterwards, was returned to the Union and since had been partly used for the same purpose as it was required by the Federation. His Worship was called upon to decide wbetner the resolution of the Union to strike a levy was now ultra vires, seeing that the Federation had been dissolved. Decision was reserved.
