Daniel Oien v. St. Paul City Railway

Master and servant -- action for additional wages -- contract of hire. 1. Plaintiff brought suit to recover a balance claimed to be due him for wages earned by him under contract of hire during
a period of some five years while he was in the employ of the defendant. It is held, on the record presented, that it appears
that the wages earned were under a definite, single contract of hire; that there had been no change or modification of such
contract; that a letter of communication claimed to have been received by plaintiff before he commenced work was not a contract
or modification of the contract of hiring and never became a part thereof; and that plaintiff has been paid in full for his
services.
