LESLIE LOSES
HIS LIBEL SUIT
UNITED STATES JUDGE DOLE RE
FUSES HIM ANY DAMAGES FOR
BEING DISCHARGED.

United States Judge Dole this morn
ing gave decision dismssing the libel
Of George Leslie against the Inter-Isl-
and Steam Navigation company. Less
lie sued for damages on account of his
having been discharged from his posi-
tion as second made without cause. His
libel set forth that the agreement un-
der which he was employed called for
r"steady employment with chance of
promotion" and it was claimed that
under such an agreement the libelee
had no right to summaTily discharge
libellant without cause. Judge Dole
in dismissing the libel says:
THE important question in this issue
is whether the alleged contract is suf-
fciently definite to form a basis for
damages in consequence of it's termina-
ton by the libellee. The libellants
counsel discusses this point carefully
referring to a number of authorities
/ AS l understand the general rule OF
/ law applicable to ordinary contracts
for hiring the parties may bind them
selves by contract but where they have
no contract for a stipulated time the
