Memorandum: Special 'Term should not have undertaken to decide whether the permanent termination of employment on the closing of the plant was a “lay-off” within the meaning of the contract. That is for the arbitrators to decide (Matter of Potoker [Brooklyn Eagle], 2 R Y 2d 953; Matter of Lipman [Haeuser Shellac Co.], 289 N. Y. 76).

(Appeal from order of Erie Special Term denying motion by Clifford, individually and as president of Lodge 2116, to compel respondent to arbitrate certain disputes; also appeal from part of order of Erie Special Term granting leave to petitioner to renew the motion but again denying arbitration.) Present — Bastow, J. P., Goldman, Halpern, McClusky and Henry, JJ.
