As used in the Act, the term ``establishment'', which is not
specially defined therein, refers to a ``distinct physical place of
business'' rather than to ``an entire business or enterprise'' which may
include several separate places of business. This is consistent with the
meaning of the term as it is normally used in business and in
government, is judicially settled, and has been recognized in the
Congress in the course of enactment of amendatory legislation (Phillips
v. Walling, 324 U.S. 490; Mitchell v. Bekins Van & Storage Co., 352 U.S.
1027; 95 Cong. Rec. 12505, 12579, 14877; H. Rept. No. 1453, 81st Cong.,
first session, p. 25). This is the meaning of the term as used in
sections 3(r) and 3(s) of the Act.
