Assuming that you know the address to read the boss, send a registered or certified letter with an invoice for the amount you are due, and set a date for payment (like within a week).
i.e.
Name of boss
company
address
Invoice
Pipelaying work (1 day) @ $100/day $100.00
total due: $100.00
Amount due upon receipt. If payment is not received, further action may be taken to collect payment.
In the meantime, look into the requirements to bring a claim to your local small claims court - see filing procedures, etc., and if there are any costs incurred to file, and be prepared to take him to court, if that is what it takes.

Call your local Department of Labor.

Add your state. Labor laws vary by state.
