U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
OFFICE OF THE SOLICITOR

Mr. E. Irving Manger
Assistant to the General Counsel
Labor Relations Branch
Office of Chief of Engineers
Department of the Army
Washington 25, D. C.
Re: E-62-295 & 296
Oklahoma
Dear Mr. Manger:
It has been brought to my attention that my letter of
September 13, 1961, may be subject to misunderstanding and that
some clarification would be helpful.
At the time it was written, we had under consideration
(as indicated on the first page) only hauling activities. Further-
more, the only problem before us involved the owner-operators of
trucks. Consequently, the references on the second page of my
letter to "trucks and similar construction equipment" should be
understood as applicable only to the various types of hauling
equipment. It was not intended to encompass other equipment such
as bulldozers, scrapers, backhoes, cranes, drilling rigs, welding
machines and the like.
It will be appreciated if you will advise your field
personnel that the enforcement position taken in my previous
letter is thus limited and that normal enforcement action will
be expected in appropriate cases involving owner-operators
of equipment other than that used exclusively for hauling.
Yours sincerely,
/s/ Charles Donahue
Solicitor of Labor
