by the complaining party, or by some one appointed by him

difference. In case of a vacancy, or vacancies, another
arbitrator or other arbitrators shall be elected at a general
meeting.
Or,
If any dispute shall arise between a member, or person
claiming through a member, or under the rules of the
society, and the society, or any officer thereof, it shall be
referred to justices pursuant to the Friendly Societies Act,
1875, s. 22 (c).
XIV.—Voluntary Dissolution.
The society may at any time be dissolved by the consent
of three-fourths of the members, testified by their signatures
to some instrument of dissolution in the form provided by
the Treasury regulations in that behalf.
N.B.—It is desirable that all documents issued by a
registered Benevolent Society should contain after its name
the words “ registered as a Benevolent Society under 38 39
Viet. c. 60.”
In using these model rules for a Working Men’s Club,
the words “ working men’s club ” would have to be substi
tuted for “benevolent society” in Rule I, and Rule III (1)
should be as follows : “ This society is established for pur
poses of social intercourse, mutual helpfulness, mental and
moral improvement, and rational recreation.”
