' The neV"forestrr ;er : logging" : p
' v erations exemption under the Federal
Wag "Bd Boor Law 8a aa exemption
V1, from the law's minimum wage and
'jy overtime provisions, birt not ' an ex
emption from the law's child labor'
provisional ' ""'' ,
This fact was emphasized today in a
special statement received from For--,i
j rest H. Shuford, North Carolina Com
missioner of Labor, who administers
the Wage-Hour Law in this state un
' ' der a special agreement with the Fed
eral Wag and Hour Administration.
In his statement Shuford explained
that most sawmilling and lumbering
operations in North; Carolina are cov
; ered by the Wage and Hour Law
which, following the amendments
which became effective on January
25, requires payment of at least 75
cents an hour to all covered workers
and time-and-a-half ,pay for hours
worked in excess of 40 per week.
"The provisions of this Federal Law
apply to all establishments which are
" covered," Commissioner Shuford said.
ISawmills and lumbering establish
ments which produce or process ma
terials Which eventually move in in
terstate commerce are covered. It has
been our experience that this law cov
ers the great majority of sawmill and
lumbering operations throughout the
State. In cases where the .product is
sold to another party who, in turn,
sells it out of the State either direct
ly or after it has undergone further
processing, then the original sawmill
or lumbering establishment also is
covered by the Wage and Hour Law."
The Labor Commissioner explained
that workers emraaed in forestry or
logging operations in which not more
than 12 workers are employed by the
tame employer are exempt from the
minimum wage and overtime provis
ions of the law, but not from the child
labor provisions. The exemption ap-
oUea.onlv to woods operations, he
said, and does not apply to work in
sawmiUs. '- ..
"Employers of 12 or less workers
engaged in exempt forestry or log
ging work should remember that the
child labor provisions of the wage ana
Hour law remain in effect at all
times," Commissioner Shuford point
ed out "This means that employers
of forestry or logging crews must
continue to, observe S 'Wage-Hour
Law provisions which set a minimum
age of 18 years for ail woods Jobs ex
cept those - which are not declared to
be hazardous for young workers.
'f!lion-&azardoW jobs in logging
operations for which the Wage-Uour
Law sets a minimum age of 16 year
include timber cruising: transit
man, -rod man, and chain man in sur
veying parties; some types of repair
or maintenance jobs; won around
cook house; removing of hark from
logs, if done away" from hazardous
work; Ere v patrolman or look-out;
stableman or hostler, and office
work." . '.)t . - . , -, k
Commissioner Shuford added that
employers may " protect themselves
from unintentional : child labor via
lotions by having on hand employment
certificates showing that young work
ers in their employ are above the legal
age required for the jobs they hold.
These employment certificates may be
secured from the local County Wel
fare Superintendent, he said.

Ernest Lamb and Milton Chappell.
