Bouvier's Law Dictionary and Concise Encyclopedia

An immigrant employed as a boot-black received tips and paid them to the employer at night. After two years he sued to recover the payments. The jury found that there was no contract between the parties and that they belonged to the plaintiff; Zappas v. Roumeliote, 156 Iowa, 709, 137 N. W. 935; in the absence of a contract to the contrary, tips belong to the employee; Polites v. Barlin, 149 Ky. 376, 149 S. W. 828, 41
