Craftsmen Not Exempt
From Wage-Hour;Act,
Fleming Decides
Newspaper Reporters
And Copy Desk Editors
Also Held Under Law

Wage-Hour Administrator Elem.
ing was on record today as holdine
that in the vast majority of in
stances" craftsmen would not be re.
garded as professional workers who
are exempt from the wage-hour law
He expressed similar view about
newspaper reporters assigned to reg
ular beats and about copy desk edi-
tors.
Col. Fleming's opinions were con-
tanned in letter to B. o. Lum, bust
ness representative of the Seattle
Association Of Technical Engineers
and Architects. who had asked for
Qualification of recently adopted
rules defining exempted admins
trative" and professional en-
ployes
The rules require that an ex-
empted employe in this classical
ton must receive at least 5000 a
month, and must meet certain other
requirements. Employees not ex-
empted must be paid time and one
half for work in excess of 40 hours
weekly.
As to whether craftsmen paid
more than 5000 a month were
exempt, Col. Fleming said:
The information at our disposal
indicates that craftsmen are normal
ly paid on an hourly basis and in
general are employed in groups and
perform routine work. Thus, in the
vast majority of instances, drafts
men will still retain the benefits Of
the act even if they are paid 5000
a month"
He said there were exceptions
such as the craftsman whose work
was incident to duties connected
with management policies or general
business operations.
In discussing exempted profess
sional workers, Col. Fleming said:
"On newspaper, for example.
typically the reporters assigned to
regular beats and the copy desk will
not qualify for exemption even if
they are paid 5000 a month"
