General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Syllabus
Employees of a large construction contractor engaged in constructing a dam solely to increase the reservoir capacity of the local water system of a city and its vicinity, all within a single State, are not "engaged in commerce or in the production of goods for commerce" or in "any closely related process or occupation directly essential to the production thereof," within the meaning of §§ 3(j) and 7(a) of the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended in 1949, and, therefore, they are not covered by the overtime requirements of the Act, even though a substantial part of the water will be used by producers of goods for interstate commerce and an insignificant part by interstate instrumentalities. Pp. 310-321.
262 F.2d 46, affirmed.
