This is аn appeal from a decree dismissing plaintiff’s bill of complaint. Plaintiff is a labоr organization representing barbers in Wayne county. Defendant, the propriеtor of a barbershop in Detroit, is a member of an employers’ organizatiоn.
Plaintiff and defendant entered into a contract May 4, 1955, modified May 1, 1959. The provisiоns of the contract here in controversy are as follows:
“5. It is further understood аnd agreed that party of the second part will contribute the sum of $3 per week to the union barbers of Michigan health and welfare program for each employee covered by this agreement and for himself, if he works with the tools of the trade. This contribution shall be deducted from the gross revenue of each barbеr’s and manicurist’s chair each week prior to the computation of eаrnings payable to the barber or the manicurist in accordance with other provisions of this agreement. In the event that the barber or manicurist does not servе 40 customers for haircuts or manicures during the week, the party of the second part shall contribute 7.5‡ for each customer so served by the barber or manicurist. Pаrty of the second part *587 agrees to pay this contribution, monthly, to the trustees of the fund or to any depository designated by them not later than 15 days following the end оf any month, or for shorter periods of time if the trustees so determine.
“6. It is further understood and agreed that party of the second part will contribute the sum of $1 per wеek to the union barbers of Michigan public relations program for each еmployee covered by this agreement and for himself, if he works with the tools of thе trade. This contribution shall be deducted from the gross revenue of each barber’s and manicurist’s chair each week prior to the computation of earnings payable to the barber or manicurist in accordance with other provisions of this agreement. In the event that the barber or manicurist does not serve 40 сustomers for haircuts or manicures during the week, the party of the second pа,rt shall contribute 2.5^5 for each customer so served by the barber or manicurist. Party of the second part agrees to pay this contribution, monthly, to the ti'ustees of the fund or to any depository designated by them not later than 15 days following the end of any month, or for shorter periods of time if the trustees so determine.”
Defendant has failed to pay the amounts required by the above paragraphs. This suit was brought to сompel specific performance by the defendant of the monthly pаyments into the 2 funds for the duration of the contract.
Plaintiff in its appeal concedes that the trustees of the 2 funds, unitedly or separately, could institute a sxxit or suits in assumpsit against defendant. However, it is contended that the union lacks an effectivе legal remedy and should therefore be granted an equitable one even thоugh plaintiff also may maintain a suit at law by virtue of CL 1948, § 612.2 (Stat Ann § 27.654). *
*588
The remedy of specific performance is an extraordinary one granted only in. unusual pases to prеvent irreparable harm. • It is a matter of grace' and. not of right.
