A group of workmen individually signed contracts with Appellant to travel from San Francisco to Alaska as sailors and fishermen. They were each to be paid $50 for the season plus two cents for each red salmon which they participated in catching. Upon arrival in Alaska, the workmen stopped working and demanded $100 for the season instead of $50. Since Appellant could not obtain any other workers, Appellant agreed to pay the price demanded. At the end of the season, Appellant paid each man $50 in accordance with the first agreement, and the workmen initiated this suit.
