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.

McLeod v. Threlkeld No. 787 Argued May 6, 7, 1943 Decided June 7, 1943 319 U.S. 491
CERTIORARI TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT
Syllabus
1. An employee whose work is to prepare meals and serve them to maintenance of way employees of an interstate railroad in pursuance of a contract between his employer and the railroad company is not "engaged in commerce" within the meaning of §§ 6 and 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act. P. 493.
2. The test in determining whether an employee is "engaged in commerce" within the meaning of the Fair Labor Standards Act, §§ 6 and 7, is not whether his activities affect or indirectly relate to interstate commerce, but whether they are actually in or so closely related to the movement of commerce as to be a part of it. P. 497.
The work of the employee decides this question; it is not important in this case whether his employer was engaged in interstate commerce.
131 F.2d 880 affirmed.
Certiorari, 318 U.S. 754, to review the affirmance of a judgment of the District Court, 46 F.Supp. 208, in a suit brought by McLeod against his employer under § 6 and 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
