Description
In October, 1956, plaintiff contracted in writing with defendant to construct a sky-line, or cableway, across the canyon in the area where defendant was engaged in building the Glen Canyon Dam. Later that month plaintiff advised defendant that he could not or would not carry out the contract, for reasons which are in dispute. There is evidence that one of Mountain States agents thereupon agreed with plaintiff that the original agreement should be cancelled, and that it was mutually rescinded. The parties thereupon entered into the oral negotiations claimed by plaintiff to constitute an employment agreement, pursuant to which plaintiff went to work for defendant supervising part of the cableway construction at the damsite. After working there for some weeks the plaintiff, having unsuccessfully demanded compensation for his services according to the oral agreement, left the job. He subsequently filed this action to recover, under the express oral contract, the sum of $2,500 per week plus certain expenses. Defendant counter-claimed for damages for what it claimed to be the breach by plaintiff of the earlier written agreement.
