## Opinion text

HAYS, Circuit Judge
(dissenting):
I dissent with respect to the requirement of electing patrolmen.
I fear that, in trying to keep the courts from taking over lock, stock and barrel the internal operation of labor unions, I am fighting a fairly hopeless rearguard action. But, I am not yet compelled by any Supreme Court decision on the issue to accept the position that a union cannot provide for the appointment rather than the election of what are here called patrolmen, and are usually called business representatives.
