3. ““As Referee I find that the wages were earned prior to the 14th of April, 1900; that' the bankruptcy proceeding was instituted, July 16th, 1900, more than three months subsequent thereto; that the wages were not earned within three months before the date of the commencement of the proceeding. “As a matter of law I conclude that Section 64b (4) is -exclusive of Section 64b (5) and these creditors have no lien under Section 67 of the Bankruptcy Law, and the claims should not be allowed in full as debts having priority but that these creditors should take pro rata with the other creditors of the bankrupts. “Annexed hereto is the order which has been entered in this proceeding controlling the above claims. “And the said question is certified to the Judge for his opinion thereon. See 1 Am. Bankr. R. 234. “Dated, at the City of New York, the 27 day of September, A. D., 1902.””
