TENURE OF UNION’S EXECUTIVE
COURT GRANTS INJUNCTION Press Association WELLINGTON, Today. The Chief Justice, the Hon. M. Myers, delivered his reserved judgment yesterday in the action of Robert Carroll, of Auckland, A. W. Mack, of Taihape, John James Pennell, of Wellington, and W. Pullar, of Dunedin, who moved for a perpetual injunction restraining the Locomotive Engineers, Firemen and Cleaners* Association, its president, F. J. Lewin, and the general secretary, from proceeding with the calling for nominations for an election to fill places of the plaintiffs on the executive of the council. His Honour held it was not constitutional for Lewin to decide arbitrarily whether Carroll w*as ineligible or that the others had forfeited tliejr seats. The injunction w’as made perpetual. That, remarked his Honour, did not mean that Carroll was to remain a member of the council during the whole of the remainder of his term, but simply that if his eligibility was disputed the proper constitutional method must be adopted to have the question determined.
