NEW LAW ALLOWS ADMINISTERING OF
 WAGES ABOVE $I5
Deputy sheriffs May Attach Salaries For Unpaid Bills
 of Any Kind.

Deputy and city sheFiffs are ex- peeting a, rushing business in the next few weeks because of the new law that permits an employees wages, amounting toN more than $15 weekly, to be garnisheed for any kind of an unpaid bill, = Just before the courts open in the autumn it is expected that lawyers will draw up mum merous Writs to have the s1 erdffs serve on wage earners who haven't paid their bills.
 Under the old law a, sheriff could garnishee wages only for bills owed for rent or board. And 9ae could not serve the writ unless the eTnploye had more than $25 due him. The major ity of worknen were ignorant of the law and a certain type of lawyer fre- quentay gave sheFd1fs writs to attach wages for doctors do4lls or other things not allowed by the statute. If the ernploye didn't know the law he made no protest and his wages were held.
 Paymasters at the big factories where sheriffs are frequent visitors have been puzzled by the new law. In some. oases they have disputed with the sheriff when he wanted to seize wages because of an unpaid bill for 8 piano or a Morris chair. But the sherifs say they arc not restricted to rent and board bills amy more. It means a golden harvest for the law yens and sheriHs but is hard on the wage AarnerS. 6954
