Syllabus

<p>Voluntary associations — By-laws~~Pilots.</p> <p>A by-law of a pilot’s association that “any pilot refusing to go on a boat when his turn comes, shall be considered on side leave, and shall receive sick leave pay,” is a reasonable and proper regulation.</p> <p>If a pilot without leave of the association absents himself from a port, thus placing it out of his power to take his turn, he may be treated by the association as a “ pilot refusing to go on a boat” within the meaning of the by-law.</p> <p>Refusal to do a particular thing is as clearly evinced by acts making performance impossible as by oral expression.</p>
