Executive Order 9248—Amending Executive Order No. 9240 Entitled "Regulations Relating to Overtime Wage Compensation"

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the statutes, it is ordered that Section V of Executive Order No. 9240 of September 9, 1942, entitled "Regulations Relating to Overtime Wage Compensation", be, and it is hereby, amended to read as follows:

"All Federal departments and agencies affected by this order shall refer to the Secretary of Labor for determination, questions of interpretation and application arising hereunder. In any industry or occupation in which the Secretary finds that a wage stabilization agreement approved by a Government department or agency is operating satisfactorily, or in any industry or occupation in which the Secretary finds that the nature and exigencies of operations make such action necessary or advisable for the successful prosecution of the war, the Secretary may determine that any or all of the provisions of this order shall not apply to such industry or occupation or to any classes of employees therein."
