1Opinion of the Court
HAYNSWORTH, Circuit Judge.
In these proceedings, filed under § 16 of the Fair Labor Standards Act,1 the two plaintiffs assert a contractual claim to additional compensation by their employer. They had been paid at rates in excess of the minimum wages required by § 6 of the Act,2 but they contend that their employment was governed by the National Bituminous Coal Agreement of 1950, as amended, and they claim they should have been compensated at the higher rate specified in that agreement. They worked no more than forty hours in any week, so that the requirements of § 7 3 are not involved.
