Description
Before HEALY, CHAMBERS and BARNES, Circuit Judges. BARNES, C.J.: Appellee Dillion, a member of Plumbers & Steamfitters Union, Local 598, commenced operations as a pipe
fabricator and pipeline contractor in early September, 1954. Pursuant thereto he acquired some equipment, rented a shop in
Pasco, Washington, contacted prospective contractors with whom he sought to do business, and sought to procure a contract
with the appellant for the supply of labor for his business. Over the apparent objections of certain other contractors and
with some reluctance on the part of union officials, Dillion received his labor contract on November 22, 1954. Immediately
thereafter he into a contract with Lewis Hopkins, Inc., a corporation, for the performance of pipe fabrication work as a sub-contractor
for Hopkins. Dillion sought to obtain men from Local 598, but despite all efforts was dispatched only two workers, one of
whom worked only one day and then either quit or was pulled off the job. Hopkins terminated Dillion's contract for failure
to provide the labor essential to performance. Dillion discontinued his business enterprise on December 8, 1954 and sold his
equipment.Inferentially, the refusal of Local 598 to supply labor caused the loss of the Hopkins contract and reasonably could
be found to have compelled the discontinuance of appellee's business.
