$3.50 SUIT IS FIRST
IN SMALL CLAIMS
Maid Wins in Case Against
Employer for Her
Unpaid Wages.

So far as Ada Turner. 1105 O street
NV, is concerned the Small Claims
Court has lived up to its advance
notices in a most satisfactory way.
Last Monday the colored maid filed
a claim. the first in the new court. for
$3.50 against her employer for unpaid
wages. Yesterday she got her judg-
ment without benefit of counsel and at
no cost to herself When the case was
called the defendant was not present,
so Judge Nathan Cayton simply en-
tered judgment.
In the past, according to sponsors
Of the new court, the complainant in
the great majority of such cases would
have forfeited his or her legal right
simply because the amount involved
was too small to warrant an appeal
to the courts. The new tribunal, how
ever, does away with the more formal
and more expensive procedure for the
express purpose of providing a forum
in which needy litigants can assert
their rights.
Several other cases were disposed of
yesterday, with Judge Cayton acting
both as jurist and counsel. The pro-
ceedings were very informal with prin-
cipals and witnesses being interrogated
by the judge. the object being to elicit
the facts as simply and quickly as
possible.
