Discharged Employee
Sues Firm for Profits
Ernest Westphal Claims $137,.
739 From Importers as His
Share Under Contract

Ernest Westphal, until recently as
sociated with the Halle-Perris Trading
Company, importers, of 20 Broadway,
Manhattan, began suit against that firm
in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn yes
terday to recover $137,739, balance due.
him, he alleges, as his share in the
1919 and 1920 profits Of the concern.
According to Westphal, his contract
set forth that he was to receive 15 per
cent of the profits Of the Halle-Perris
company. He says these amounted to
100000 in 1919 and will amount to
100000 this year.
He says further that he received
$12,261 as his share of the 1919 profits,
and that his protests against this al
legged injustice became so strong that
he was discharged. He now demands
the difference between this amount and
$150,OO0.
In reply to these allegations Louis
U. Halle, president of the defendant
company, denied that the profits were
anywhere near the amount stated by
Westphal. He also said that he dis
charged Westphal because he had
threatened to call in the internal reve-
nue. agents on the ground that the
company had made an error in filing
its income tax return. Westphal de-
nies making any such threat. Justice
Squiers signed an order permitting the
plaintiff to examine the auditor, as
sistant auditor and bookkeeper of the
corporation before trial of the suit.
