The Booth Packing Company in 1911 was a corporation engaged in the packing of vegetables and fruits. The equitable plaintiff obtained employment with the company in that year, when he was fourteen years old. He was not engaged to do any specific work, his employment being general, nor was any limitation or restriction named as to what he should not do. The first work to which he was assigned was sweeping up about the place.
