Description
The Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, United States Department of Labor, brought this action to enjoin defendants James Friend et al., co-partners, doing business as Owen Bros. & Friend Livestock Commission Company, from violating Sec. 15(a)(1, 2, 5) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 215(a)(1, 2, 5). It was alleged that defendants were engaged in interstate commerce and subject to the provisions of the Act, and that they violated the Act by failing to keep required records and by requiring employees to work overtime without paying additional compensation for such work. The District court held that the employees involved were neither engaged in commerce nor in the production of goods for commerce and were, therefore, not within the protection of the Act, and dismissed the complaint. See Walling v. Friend, D.C., 63 F.Supp. 143. The case is before us on plaintiffs appeal from the decree dismissing the complaint.
