HIRED MAN LAW.
Controversies about wnges frequent
ly arise between fnruicrs and thelt
hired men wheu the hitter are dis
charged or quit work before the expl
ration of tho time for which they were
employed. Sometimes a man who Is
hired to do certain specified work or
work for a certain period of time for
fixed wages quits his Job without
good and sufllclcnt reasous, and the
quest Ion then arises what compensa
tion, If any. he can recover by law
from his employer for the work he
has actuully done. There Is some con
flict of authority In the decisions of
the courts upon this subject, but the
weight of authority Is to the effect
that In such case the hired man can
recover the value of the services
which ho actually rendered, deducting
fi)iu this amount any dumages which
his employer has sustained by reason
of his failure to complete tho serv
ices which he was hired to perforin.
Sickness or death of un employee is
considered by the law to lie the act
of (!od and constitutes good excuse
for delay or even for nonperformance
of a contract for personal services. An
employee who Is prevented by sickness
from iplotlng services according tn
his contract can recover the octnii1
Vlllue of the services which ho Int.
performed under the contract, and II
the completion of Ills work Is pre
vented by his death Ills executor "or
administrator can recover the value
of tho services actually performed by
bits.
