Appeal by the defendant, Swift and Company, Inc., from an award and decision of the State Industrial Commission, made on the 19th day of January, 1920, affirming the decision and award made on the 23d day of December, 1919, and entered in the office of said Commission.
1Opinion of the Court
Cochrane, J.:
The claimant, who was receiving twenty-five dollars a week as compensation from his employer, also received on an average five dollars per week as tips from the customers of the latter. The question is whether such tips should be taken into consideration in fixing the amount of compensation. He was a truck driver and delivered meat for the employer, a corporation engaged in the meat business. The tips were received by him when making deliveries of meat to the customers of the employer. It is admitted that the employer had no knowledge of these gratuities.
