wage-hour Administrator Charges
Misinierprefafion Of RULINGS

WASHINGTON. Oct. %. up
Wage-hour Administrator Phili p
Flen,ing today Eharacteris On as
''misapprehension" reports that his
recent redefinition of the wage
hour exemption clause would re-
move large groups OF workers from
maximum work week provisions.
His statement was made in iden-
tical letters to Joseph Curran, presi-
dent of the Greater New York In
dustrial council (CIO), and B. o.
Lum, financial secretary of the
Seattle Association of Technical
Engineers and Architects tAFL).
The general tenor of the letters
was that exemptions from the 40
hour work week limitation would
not be as widespread as was generally
believed when, on Oct. IA, he first
issued the new definitions of ex-
ecutive. administrative and pre-
fessional employees.
I do not have any author
ity TO refuse exemption in the case
of bonafide executive, aiministra-
tive. and professional employees he
wrote Il do, however have the re-
sponsibility to define and delimit
those terms. The recent revision OF
part SAL of our regulations repre-
sents my considered judgment on
appropriate definitions and limita-
tions.
The revised regulations do not
Imperial Valley press., 1940-10-28

grant any exemption. They put
into effect the exemptions granted
by Congress but with adequate
safeguards agains abuse"
He said the major change in the
definition of professional workers
was addition of the requirement
that TO be exempted as profess
sionals they must receive at least
$500 a month. He also noted that
they must meet five other quail
fications. Their work must be in
tellectual and varied in character.
must require the exercise of dis
oretion, and must be Of the type
which cannot be standardized; not
more than 90 per cent of the work
week can be devoted to non-exempt
work; and the work must fall
within either one of the recognized
artistic professions.
He said the new definition will
guarantee the acts protection to
many members of the learned pro-
fesSion, such as chemists and engi-
neers. who in some instances have
been grossly exploited by their
employers by the requirement of
long hours at low wages
On q newspaper, for example"
he said, "Typieally the reporters
assigned to regular beats and the
copy desk men will not qualify for
exemption even if they are PAID
5000 a month"
