Wage-HOur Ruling
 For Fish Dealers
 Announced By Haas

Territorial Labor Commissioner Michael J. Haas, recently appointed special agent for the Wage and Hour Division of the |. s. Depart ment of Labor announced this week that he has received a commuHiea- ton from General Philip B. Elem ing, Administrator, clarifying the status of wholesale fish dealers un- der the Wage and Hour Law.
 The interpretation was based up- on the exemption provided by sec tion 13 Gal (5) of the Fair Labor Standards Act from both the Wage and Hour provisions.
 Any employee employed in the catching . of any kind of fish. shellfish, crustacea, sponges, sea- weeds, or other aquatic forms of animal and vegetable Life in eluding employment in the loading. unloading, or packing of such pro- ducts for shipment or in propagat- ing, processing, marketing, freezing canning, curing, storing, or distrib- uting the above products or by pro- duets thereof"
 Numerous inquiries have been submitted to the Administrator con- cerning the status under this exemp- ton of employees of a typical fish wholesale house which handles fresh fish packed in ice, frozen fish, and smoked or otherwise cured fish. and duets. General Fleming announced that in the enforcement of the sta ute. employees engaged in market ing and distributing edible fish and fisheries products would be consid- cred by the Division to be exempt from both the wage and hour pro- visions of the act whether they were engaged in performing such oper- atiOns on fresh fish or on fishery products that had been preserved through freezing. smoking or curing. The administration made it clear, however, that the exemption does not extend to employees engaged in the wholesale distribution of fish cry products packed in dramatically sealed containers Those employees of a wholesale fish establishments who devote a substantial amount of their time to operations in connection with fishery products packed in dramatically sealed containers will not be considered to be exempt from the act, General Fleming declared. The administrator explained that the phrase substantial amount of time" will be construed by the Division to mean in excess of 20 percent of an employees working time in a work week. This percentage has consist ently been adopted by the Adminis- trator in the construction of exemp- tion provisions under the statute.
