|WACE-HOUR RULING
Given BY MEEKlNS|
Says Law Applies To Watch
men For Firms Engaged
In Interstate Trade

ELIZABETH CITY, Jan. 30.-R
Federal Judge I. M. Meeklns ru1-
ed today that provisions of the wages
and hours act applied to night watch
men for firms engaged in interstate
commerce.
w. B. Coppersmith and Sons, Inc,
a lumber firm, gave notice of an ap-
peal to the U. S. circuit court after
contending that a Waterman was not
engaged in lumber manufacture for
interstate trade.
Judge Meekins said a night watch
man was "just as much an employe
under the terms of the act as if he
were saving wood to put into a o
car"
The hearing was on a motion OF
D. Lacy McBryde Of Charlotte, at
torney for the wage-hour division,
that the company be held in con-
tempt of court for alleged failure to
pay back wages due some employees
under terms Of the act.
Affidavits filed previously in sup
port of the motion set forth that
the corporation and it's officers con-
scented to an injunction which stipu-
lated the payments.
The company rendered checks for
half the amount in question today
and was given go days to pay the re-
mainder.
Judge Meekins meanwhile deferred
a decision on the motion for the gu
days.
A bond of $1,000 was required of
the company pending settlement of
the Waterman issue. The wage-hour
division contends that 1898 is due
