Clark said. The Supreme Court ruling in the Mt. Clemens case upheld the right of workers to portal-to-portal pay. This decision touched off the current wave of portal suits by unions. The total now has reached almost five billion dollars.

The court sent the Mt. Clemens case back to Judge Picard and directed him to determine the amounts to be paid, taking into account the "de minimus" rule, which holds that legral belief may not be sought for trivial matters. V. S. Liability Cited Mr.

Clark's brief was filed as a "friend of the court.

Police said they wanted to question to you" from the other woman as he approached.

Afterward, the woman he believed to be Miss Short asked him if there was a back door to the building, Mr. Simone said. When he was unable to tell her, she left by the front door and entered a cab. The altercation occurred Jan. 11, Mr.

Simone said, four days before the discovery of the body of the Cabbie Obeys Orders, Saves His $48 Strict obedience is not only a virtue it saved Sol Rubin, a taxicab driver, $48 early today.

The Mt. Clemens case was filed by the CIO Pottery Workers Union. Walking time between time clocks and working places was estimated by some workers as six to eight minutes a day. But Mr. Clark said in his brief that "these estimates included time spent in stopping along the way, conversations and other purely private matters." Hits Trifling Periods Estimates on "make-ready" time, Mr.

Clark said, ranged from "practically nothing to about three minutes." He contended that the Supreme Court decision required the exclusion of much of this time under the de minimus rule. "Plainly, an employer is not entitled to deduct trifling personal-pursuit periods in computing the work week," Mr. Clark said, "and by the same token the employe should not be entitled to the addition of trifling periods of preliminary activity." He cited a ruling under the Pair Labor Standards Act that because of the difficulty of keeping records, an employer is not required to take account of preliminary activities requiring as much as five minutes at the beginning and end of each day. The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee is considering legislation to outlaw portal pay suits. Mr.

Iser-man told the members Monday that Judge Picard, while considering a case involving Chrysler, had described himself as "pro-labor" and had set aside a jury verdict in favor of the company. Files Formal Statement Today Mr. Iserman filed with the subcommittee a formal statement containing Judge Pieard's alleged pro-labor remarks. Judge Picard subsequently ordered the remarks stricken from the record, Mr. Iserman said.

Mr. Iserman said Judge Picard made the following statement: "Now, as you know, and I dont mind telling you, I am very pro-labor. I want them (the Chrysler workers) to get every nickel they have coming to them. A union attorney, identified only as Goodman, was then quoted as saying. "We do, too.

your honor, to which Judge Picard allegedly replied "You do, too. but, after all. I have to get the facts before this Jury." Mr. Iserman reiterated his earlier contention that the jury three times returned a verdict favoring Chrysler and that Judge Picard finally ordered a new trial on March 14, 1945. iROtmw qoARO pa.
