PER CURIAM.
In this case appellant sought damages against .the appellee for $18,220, for breach of seniority rights, in a petition which was dismissed by the District Court. The appellant had worked as fireman for appellee in 1929 and 1935 for approximately 47 days in the aggregate.
The District Court found that under the terms of appellant’s application for employment and other evidence in the record, appellant never became an employee of the appellee, but was allowed to work on a temporary or probationary basis; hence the court held that .-appellant had no seniority rights and that his right to damages had not been approved.
While other features wer-e presented in the case upon which the District Court did not rule, we c-annot say that its findings upon this phase o.f the case are unsupported by the .record. It follows that the judgment must be, -and it 'hereby is, affirmed.
