How later courts describe this case
- holding that “and” was disjunctive in the context of a statute that required an employer to pay overtime wages to employees “engaged in the ginning and compressing of cotton”
- interpreting the phrase "ginning and compressing of cotton” to mean "the performance of either or both”
- “the word ‘and’ is not a word with a single meaning, for chameleonlike, it takes its color from its surroundings”
