Syllabus

<p>Work and Labor — Action for Services — Evidence—Sufficiency. In an action for services, the evidence shows that the plaintiff knew he was employed by the S. Company and not by the W. Company, two corporations having a common office and common officers, where he admitted that for nine months he served as foreman for the S. Company, kept its time books, issued time checks and received checks for himself and colaborers upon which plainly appeared the name of the S. Company, and that after leaving such company he worked for and was paid by the W. Company.</p> <p>Trial — Direction of Verdict. Where there is no substantial evidence tending to establish the cause of action sued on, it is proper to direct a verdict for the defendant.</p>
