Employer Ordered To Pay
$1,497 In Wage-Hour Case
Mobile, Ala., Stpt. 28 — i
(Special) — United States Dis
trict Judge Daniel H. Thomas
has found G. R. DeWitt of Mo
bile, Ala., guilty of civil con
tempt and has ordered that the
defendant pay $1,497.00 in back
wages due.
The action followed the Sec
retary of Labor’s Petition for
Adjudication in which it was
contended, among other things,
that DeWitt paid a night watch
man in violation of the Fair La
bor Standards Act although the
court had restrained him from
such violations on June 3, 1959.
The permanent injunction on
that date expressly enjoined the
defendant from future viola
tions of the minimum wage and
record-keeping requirements of
the Federal Wage-Hour law.
O’Neill Barrett, supervisor of
the Mobile Wage-Hour office at
Room 406, 951 Government
Street Building, said that the
present legal minimum wage
for employees engaged in com
merce or in the production of
goods for commerce is $1.15 an
hour. The rate will advance to
$1.25 an hour on September 3,
1963, Barrett said.
