Fleming, Admin- istrator of the Wage and Hour Di- vision, U. S. Department of Labor. This re-opening will be limited to the question of the mining of placer gold by bucket, dredges, drag lines and other methods of employing power machinery. No questicn has been raised concerning the exemp- tion of placer gold mining by hand methods. The finding made by Adminis- trator Fleming of January 3, 1940, permitted employees engaged in placer gold mining in the States of Idaho, Nevada, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wyoming and thé Territory of Al- aska, and subsequently enlarged to include ‘the .State: of Colorado, to work 12 hours a day or 56 hours a week for a period or periods of not |more than 14 work weeks in any calendar year without the payment of overtime. Since the finding was fmade, protests ‘have been received from the International Union of | Operating Engineers claiming that | the exemptien should not have ap- plied to placer gold mining by bucket, drag lines and other power methods because these operations | |operate fairly continuously through- | |out the whole year or almost all the | vear | A hearing has therefore been set before Harold Stein, authorized rep- resentative of the Administrator, to | | determine whether or not the power operations were properly included within the seasonal finding for plac- | er gold mining.
