APPEAL CASE HEARD TODAY
Judge Steel Reversed Decision of Pro-
bate Court in Case of Cline Versus
Bird -MendenhaIl Company.

The case of Cal Cline vs.. the Bird
Mendenhall Construction company
which was the cause of no little com
ment in Moscow last summer when il
was tried before Judge Morgareidge
in the probate court and judgment rem
dered in favor Of the plaintiff, was
heard by Judge Steele in the the dis
trict court this morning, being
brought up from the probate court or
appeal, and Judgment of the probate
court reversed in the amount of the
claim. The plaintiff in the action, Cal
Cline, was laborer for a time during
last June and July by the defendant
company in their construction work on
| the city streets. 1t appears that Cline
was drawing $3.50 per day and that
he was paid in full up to the first of
July. On July 8 he ceased work at
his own volition and demanded pay
ment of two and one-half days wages.
Payment was denied by the company
on the ground that their regular pay
day would not come until July 16.
Cline Immediately sought legal ad-
vice and shortly thereafter instituted
proceedings to collect not only the
S6.25 due him as actual wages but an
additional amount of $3.50 per day for
the entire time during which the de-
fendant company was in default of
payment. The case was heard in the
probate court where judgment was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff, the
decision of the court being based on
Section 1, Chapter ITO of the 1911
Session Laws which provides that an
employe is entitled to collect wages for
each day on which the employer is
in default of payment until payment
is made In full, without rendering any
services therefor provided that the
employe shall cease to draw such
wages 80 days after such default.
The case was argued this morning
by Attorney w. H. Mason for the plain
tiff and by Attorney VIM. M. Morgan
for the defense. Judgment was rem
dered by Judge Steel for the plaintiff |
in the amount of $625, this being the |
sum due the plaintiff for the time DUR |
ing which he actually worked. The !
Judgment of the probate court in so |
far as it allowed the plaintiff wages
sor the time during which his en-
)loyer was in default was reversed, it
that tender of the amount
lue from the defendant was made on
July Z and furthermore that the plain
If knew before he was employed that
he company's pay-days came only on
he first and sixteenth of each month.
The case may be appealed. 1t is
hought to be the first one to have
cen tried in the state under the new
aw.

new CURRENCY MEASURE
NOW SEEMS SATISFACTORY
LOCAL BANKING FIRMS REGARD NEW LAW
WITH FAVOR BUT NOT FULLY INFORMED.
RESERVE BANKS END PANICS
National Bank Currency Will be Replaced With Re-
serve Bank Specie Northwest Wants One
of Regional Banks.

That the new currency law just pass
ed by congress meets with favor
among Moscow banks is indicated by
favorable comment given by officers
Of the several institutions. None of
the officers of the local banks have
yet made application for reserve bank
stock, however, neither have they had
ample time to study the act in full and
none were ready today to offer ex-
pressions except in general way.
The First National bank is the only
national bank in the city and under
the law must comply with the new act
within 60 days. 1t is optional with state
banks whether or not they wish to
take advantage of subscribing for
reserve stock.
Must Study Law.
w. l.. Payne, president of the First
National, was not in a position today
to comment On the new currency law,
desiring to take more time to study
the subject. Officers of the Moscow
State bank likewise preferred to be-
come more fully informed before ven
turing an opinion. Officers of the
First Trust & Savings bank, while not
fully posted on the law indicated sat
isfaction with it's spirit
Good Piece of Legislation.
THE new national banking law Is
one of the best pieces of legislation
turned out yet by the Wilson admin
istration, especially so since the act
was amended by the senate. When a
man of the stamp of Frank A. Wander
lip, the New York financier, puts his
stamp of approval on the bill with the
statement it is 80 per cent good, feel
that the country can well be satisfied
with the measure" This was the
statement of E. w. Pearce, assistant
cashier of the First National bank.
VIII Eliminate Panics.
Il haven't carefully examined Into
he new federal currency law at this
line and while | believe under the new
system that financial panics such as we
six or seven years ago Will
De forever eliminated, we are not In
position at this time to say whether
We shall take advantage of the law SO
ar as subscribing for federal reserve
tock," said Hawkin Melgard, presi-
lent of the First Trust & Savings
,ank.
New System Better.
Il do know that under the old syR-
EN- our national banking system would
lot be considered stable in European
ountries, but with the federal reserve
ct, We are under splendid basis and
o far as | know now the new system
will be good. Under the new law ma
ional bank currency will be eliminat-
d entirely
Concerning Regional Banks.
I'VE have been studying the possi-
ility of the location of region banks
1 the Pacific northwest. If the presi-
ent names IL regional banks it is
ractically assured that the northwest
ill receive one of the banks. Spo-
ane is making a strong fight and is
logical center. 1t seems assured that
an Francisco will be selected as
oint for one of the banks but so far
5 we are concerned we would prefer
see it located at ST. Paul. Portland.
cattle and Spokane are all admirably
tuated and either of those cities, II
elected, would not be an injury to this

mains beyond the city limits. For
two years it has been the custom to
lay mains for contiguous suburbs be-

same rate as consumers living with

Now the out-of- city users of water
will pay a much higher rate, and
other similar connections are prohib-
tied. This is expected to promote the
movements now under way in several
