    John O’Keefe and Others, Respondents, v. Local 463 of the United Association of Plumbers and Gas Fitters of the United States and Canada, Branch of the United Association of Journeymen Plumbers and Steam Fitters of United States and Canada, and William Doran and Others, Individually and as Members of the Executive Board of the United Association of Journeymen Plumbers and Steam Fitters of the United States and Canada, Appellants.
    First Department,
    June 11, 1937.
    
      
      J. G. Fink of counsel [Ernest Frederick Eidlitz and Harry N. French with him on the brief; Eidlitz, French & Sullivan, attorneys], for the appellants.
    
      Charles S. Scholnicoff of counsel [Kaufman & Morganroth, attorneys], for the respondents.
   Per Curiam.

The judgments and order should be affirmed, with costs, on the ground that the agreement between the Association of Master Plumbers and Local Union 463 (Arts. 17 and 18) withholds from the joint arbitration board the power to impose any penalty, and expressly vests that power in the organization of which the delinquent is a member. Consequently, the resolution of the board that journeymen plumbers thereafter to be employed by Byrne Company, Inc., should be selected by the union was beyond the jurisdiction of the board and constituted no justification for the action of the defendants in preventing the plaintiffs from continuing in their jobs.

Present'—Martin, P. J., O’Malley, Townley, Glennon and Untermyer, JJ.

Judgments and order unanimously affirmed, with costs.
