n YEUES WIENER TA0BLATT,
Vienna-Elizabeth Wolf was
employed as q waitress in .
from the 9Th Of June to the
26th Of July, 1929. She received a
weekly wage Of 121z schillings for this
service, and the normal day was sup
posed to consist Of 10 hours attendance,
However, Herr Kugler frequently re-
xarded her, when her services as
waitress and cashier were over, to take
care of the table linen Of the establish
ment, a duty which frequently detained
her until o'clock in the morning. For
this extra work, which sometimes
amounted to as much Is seven or eight
hours overtime in q single day, she re-
ceiyed no extra remuneration, cond1-
ton which led to her resigning her po-
sition ana bringing suit against Herr
Kugler asking remuneration for this a0-
ditional work. Herr Kuglers contention
has been that she received extra meals
and lodging while engaged In these
other duties, which were understood TO
be part Of her work, and should have
been attended to in a fraction Of the
time she took to perform them. Inc
court reduced the demand OF the
plaintiff for $50 schillingS overtime to
i04 schillings In view Of the conflicting
claims.

Decrease in Peiping.
North China Standard, Peiping-
The number Of rickShaS In Peiping mas
been greatly reduced since a report was
made q year ago, according TO the mu-
nicipal bureau Of public utilities. For
time there were more than 10000 rick
shas in operation here, but now only
rs. 100 are paying q license fee. The
lack of business here is driving the rick
aha uullers out, and the municipality Is
not only facing the loss Of revenue from
the operation Of these men-propeueo
vehicles, but also the problem OF
longer list Of unemployed.
