Description
Before HEALY, ORR, and LEMMON, Circuit Judges. HEALY, C.J.: The plaintiff Born (hereafter appellant) was a member in good standing of Local No. 959 of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Warehousemen and Helpers of America, herein sometimes referred to as the International
or the Teamsters. The headquarters of the Local is at Anchorage, Alaska; that of the parent Union - International - at Indianapolis,
Indiana. International's constitution gives the president of that organization broad powers over the affairs of its locals,
including the authority under certain circumstances of appointing a trustee for the local and conferring on the trustee virtually
dictatorial authority. For reasons not fully explained one George Cease was appointed trustee of the Anchorage local. While
this situation prevailed appellant, for lack of employment in his customary calling of teamster, obtained work as an ordinary
laborer with the Morrison-Knudsen construction firm. Upon hearing of this Cease issued to appellant, without the latter's
solicitation, a withdrawal card. This card by its terms entitled appellant to readmission to the Teamsters' union at any time
he should resume a teamster's work.
