CONGRESS
ROUNDUP
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Legisla
tion designed to void nearly all
portal pay claims was approved 9
to 3 today by the Senate judiciary
committee.
Under it, a worker could make
no claim for pay except for time
spent or actions for which “con
tract or custom" called for nay.
Suits for over $5,000,000,000 in
back pay have been filed since the
supreme court ruled last summer
that the wage-hour law requires
pay for all time controlled by an
employer. Some suits ask pay for
changing clothes, sharpening tools
and other “make ready” prepara
tions for productive work.
Ever since Congress met, moves
have been underway for legisla
tion to nullify the claims. The
House may act this week on a bill
prepared for its judiciary commit
tee. When the Senate may act is
indefinite.
The Congressional day also
brought continued struggling with
the problems of how much th?
government should spend, what
to do about new labor law's, and
what about help fur hungry for
eigners.
