KEY PORTAL PAY (Continued from Page 1) cat«*d the issue would be fought through the supreme court. Industry's appeals for quick action by congress were voiced by president William K. Jackson of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and president Earl Bunting of the National Association of Manufacturers. They asked full clarification of the wage-hour act to avoid future confusion on portal pay and other fsstiea. In dismissing the Mt. Clemens case Saturday. Picard ruled that: 1. So-called walking time and make-ready-for-work time involved in the case were too trifling to In* the basis for damage payments. 2. The cmicept of portal to portal pay did not apply to the general fi<*ld of manufacture except in a relatively small number of cases. 3. It any portal claims were allowed. they should not be retroactive beyond June. 10. 194 G. That was the date the supreme court ordered Picard to compute walking and make-ready time In the Mt. Clemens case hut on the basis of the doctrine of "de minimis" the concept that the law cannot be concerned with trifles. Picard held that any portal time under 2o to 25 minutes customarily was considered trifling and should not require compensation. He said it never amounted to more than eight mlnitlis in the Mt. Clemens caae. The Detroit judge emphasized, however, that his decision did not hold that all portal pay suits should be dlsmis-<*d- He said there were many cases where the time invidved merited compensation "but this is not one." 0 ASKS THREE-CENT >c*nntinue-l Frew. r«g» One* an estimuted s9.(H>o.imi(> iM t |>er year will Im* need>*d to maintain our position." He then pointed out that a cigaret tax bill now in the legislative hop|>er conveniently would produce the needed 19.umt.000 iM) a year to maintain a workable cash balance in the state treasury. Estimated ex|M*nditiires of the state highway departmeat were listed at $76,000,000 for the next two years. However, this sum would not come out of the general fund but would be met by receipts from gas tax and auto license fees. Trade In a Good Town — Decatur
