District Court, W.D. Pennsylvania May 31, 1910, No. 11 (Black v. People's Coal Co.)

ORR, District Judge.

This is a libel in personam for wages. The libelant, Harry Black, shipped as master of a steamboat belonging to the People’s Coal Company, on or about January 6, 1909, at the wages of $150 per month. There is some dispute as to whether the time of the employment was definite or indefinite. In our view of the case this is, immaterial.
