Walling v. Halliburton Oil Well Cementing Co.

Mr. Justice Rutledge.

I concur in the Court’s judgment upon the authority of Walling v. Belo Corp., 316 U. S. 624. I agree with Mr. Justice Murphy that the Belo decision is inconsistent with later decisions here, in the view it takes concerning the legal effects of the Fair Labor Standards Act. But those cases are distinguishable upon their facts; the Belo case has been relied upon by the parties to this cause and no doubt also by others, in making their arrangements; and the facts here seem to me indistinguishable from those covered by the Belo decision. Accordingly, although I would restrict the effects of that decision narrowly to the factual situation presented, I join in the judgment now rendered.
