ON REHEARING.
In his motion for rehearing the plaintiff in error contends that this court overlooked the rule stated in Pyron v. Arnold, 67 Ga. *456App. 742 (21 S. E. 2d, 461), where it was held that an employee may bring an action for wages alleged to be due under the general provisions of § 206 of the “Fair Labor Standards Act,” without reference to the exceptions to the general provisions of such section; and that in such instance benefit of the exceptions must be taken by plea. The rule stated in the Pyron case is not in conflict with any ruling made in this case. In the Pyron case, the allegations of the petition did not show that the plaintiff’s claim came within the exceptions to the general provisions of § 206. In the present case, the allegations of the petition definitely placed the plaintiff’s claim within the exceptions to the general provisions of § 206, and the plaintiff could not recover. On rehearing, the judgment of affirmance is adhered to.
