1. ““It is well-settled in this state that a member of an association of this type must first exhaust the rights afforded him by the tribunals of the association before he may secure redress from the courts. (Lawson v. Hewell, 118 Cal. 613 [ 50 P. 763 , 49 L.R.A. 400 ]; Levy v. Magnolia Lodge, I. O. O. F., 110 Cal. 297 [ 42 P. 887 ]; Coffey v. Los Angeles Firemen’s R. Assn., 22 Cal.App.2d 510 [ 71 P.2d 328 ] ; Hughes v. American Trust Co., 134 Cal.App. 485 [ 25 P.2d 491 ]; Greenwood v. Building Trades Council, 71 Cal.App. 159 [ 233 P. 823 ] ; Dingwall v. Amalgamated Assn. etc., 4 Cal.App. 565 [ 88 P. 597 ].) “It is true that there is a limited exception to this rule. Where the organization has violated its own laws and regulations and has arbitrarily violated a member’s property rights, such as the right to sick benefits, the member need not exhaust his remedies within the organization before resort is had to the courts. (Neto v. Conselho Amor etc., 18 Cal.App. 234 [ 122 P. 973 ]; Schou v. Sotoyome Tribe, No. 12, 140 Cal. 254 [ 73 P. 996 ].) Obviously, that exception is not here involved.””
