Syllabus

<p>Loss and Logging (21, 22) — 'Labor Liens — Remedies oe Lien Claimants — Property Subject to Lien — Statutes — Construction. Under Rem. Code, § 1149, giving every person performing labor in the operation of any “sawmill, lumber, or timber company” a prior lien on all the real and personal property of the employer used in the operation of the business, for moneys due for labor performed within six months next preceding the filing of a claim therefor, a laborer’s lien for work in logging operations takes precedence over a chattel mortgage of the equipment of a logging company.</p> <p>Same (21, 22). Rem. Code, § 1162, giving loggers a lien upon the product of their labor, and Id., § 1149, giving laborers a lien upon all the property of the employer used in the operation of the business, afford merely cumulative remedies, requiring no election between them, since they are not inconsistent.</p>
