Isaac E. Glaseman, Appellee, v. Richard W. Farmer Company, Appellant.
    Gen. No. 24,129.
    (Not to he reported in full.)
    ■Appeal from the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Hugh R. Stewart, Judge, presiding. Heard in this court at the March term, 1918.
    Affirmed.
    Opinion filed July 1, 1918.
    Statement of the Case.
    Action by Isaac E. Glaseman, plaintiff, against Bichard W. Farmer Company, a corporation, defendant, to recover wages for services rendered while in defondant’s employment. From a judgment for plaintiff for $35, defendant appeals.
    Abstract of the Decision.
    1. Continuance, § 17
      
       — when denial proper. Where the parties have been waiting all the morning for trial, a refusal to grant one of the parties a continuance of ten or fifteen minutes to bring his witnesses into court is proper.
    2. Master and servant, § 82*- — what evidence is inadmissible in action for services. In an action by an employee against a corporation to recover for services, where plaintiff’s statement that he had been employed by a certain person as head of the corporation, that the latter had agreed to pay him the sum named per week and that he had actually been paid by checks drawn against defendant’s account is uncontradicted, it is not error to exclude evidence of defendant’s bookkeeper as to working arrangements between defendant and the establishment in which plaintiff worked.
    M. L. Carmody, for appellant.
    Robert Edelson, for appellee.
