Section 252. Discrimination against members of organized militia

No
  association or corporation, constituted or organized for the purpose  of
  promoting  the  success  of  the  trade,  employment, or business of the
  members thereof, shall by any constitution,  rule,  by-law,  resolution,
  vote,  or  regulation,  discriminate against any member of the organized
  militia of the state of New York, because of such membership in  respect
  of  the  eligibility  of  such  member  of the said organized militia to
  membership in such association or corporation,  or  in  respect  of  his
  right  to retain said last mentioned membership; it being the purpose of
  this section and the section immediately preceding to protect  a  member
  of  the  said  organized  militia  from  disadvantage  in  his  means of
  livelihood and liberty therein but not to give  him  any  preference  or
  advantage  on  account  of  his membership of said organized militia.  A
  person who aids in enforcing any such provisions against a member of the
  said organized militia with  the  intent  to  discriminate  against  him
  because of such membership, is guilty of a misdemeanor.
