PLACER MINING
 PERSONALITY iS
 TO BE RE0pENED
Hearing to Take Place on May q in Butte, Mon-
 tana, II Is Announced

A seasonal finding for the open cut mining of placer gold will be re-opened at a hearing at 10 am. on May 21 at the Finlen Hotel, Butte, Montana, is announced by General Philip B. 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 question has been raised concerning the eXemp- ton 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 the Territory of Al aska, and subsequently, enlarged to include the State of Colorado, to work 12 hours day or 56 hours week for period or periods of not more than IA work weeks in any calendar year without the payment of overtime. Since the finding was made, protests have been received from the International Union of Operating Engineers claiming that the exemption should not have ap- piled 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 year.
 A hearing has therefore been set before Harold Stein, authorized rep Iresentative of the Administrator, to determine whether or not the power operations were properly included within the seasonal finding for plac- CT gold mining. All interested per- sons can appear at the hearing or
