important Law
Point Settled
JUDGE FLYNN INSTRUCTS THE JURY
Holds That IdahO'S New LabOFer'S Compensation
Law is Constitutional

very important point OF law
WAS decided Ia the district court at
Occur d'Alsne last week when Judge
Flynn instructed the jury In the case
OF Cassidy versus the Blackwell. lum
ber company, that when an employer
falls TO pay an employee at the time
his wages are due he is entitled 10 re-
ceive at least thirty days pay at he
price for which he was employ ed.
This is the first case tried In a
district court under the new laborer's
wage law for the state of Idaho, so
far as is Knowu. Judge Flynn 10 his
Instructions established a precedent
which will no doubt be very import
ant In future cases OF the kind as he
held that the law regarding iaborers'
wages was constitutional.
Although the jury found In favor
of the Blackwell lumber company the
point of law which was in question
is decidedly In favor of the laborer
according to Judge Flynn instruo-
items
The following is part Of Judge
Flynn's instructions to the jury
which cUver the point of law un-
