Murray v. Ned

This action was instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado by the administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor to enjoin the Shenandoah-Dives Mining Company from violating provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, 29 U.S.C.A. § 201 et seq.The complaint alleged violations of the Act extending over a period of three years. In a supplemental answer, the company alleged that about six months after the institution of the action it entered into a new contract with the bargaining representatives of its employees, which superseded the contract of which the administrator complained. It alleged that the new contract fully complied with the Act, and that, therefore, the controversy had become moot.
