In re Crook [D. C.] 219 F. 979 ; Hills v. Joseph [C. C. A.] 229 F. 865 . See, also, Creditors’ Collection Ass’n v. Bisbee, 80 Wash. 358 [ 141 P. 886 ]; Lemagie v. Acme Stamp Works, 98 Wash. 34 [ 167 P. 60 ]. “It is apparent that upon assignment for the benefit of creditors the property of the assignee became, in effect, in custodia legis; and upon the filing of the claims by the employee and the allowance thereof by the assignee, became a fixed obligation under the laws of the state and entitled by section 64b (7) to priority. Section 64b (7) is founded upon humane considerations upon the exigencies inherent to life to the toiler and predicated on justice, which the bankruptcy court must administer in harmony with the priority established by the state law as would a like priority provision in the Bankruptcy Act.””
