The roots. as we'll as the tops

After pruning the tops of a

the roots. It is much better TIC

coil them around in the planting

Prune all extra long roots bac,,

Any broken or bruised roots
should be cut back to the unin-
jured portions. These cuts should
be made with a sharp knife, not
with scissors or shears which are
apt to crush the roots.
All pruning cuts above ground
should be made just above an eye,
as illustrated. The cut should be
somewhat slanting. with the eye
on the high side Of the slant. The
top y of all pruned shoots
should point in the direction the
new shoot ought to grow. Usually
this is away from the center 0

Portal Pay Bill


effort of Congress to deal with the
problem raised by the flood of por-
tal-to-portal suits have centered
their heaviest fire in support of the
contention that the pending legisla-
ton would destroy the Wage-Hour
Act. It is difficult to believe that
this contention has merit.
Both the House and the Senate
have passed measures designed to
deal with the problem. There are
differences between the two bills,
however, and these will have to be
reconciled in conference. But since
the essential complaints have been
aimed at the Senate bill, it is against
its provisions that the criticisms can
best be appraised. =
1t is clear from the debate that
the authors of the bill, Senators
Donnell of Missouri and Cooper of
Kentucky, had no thought that 1t
would emasculate the Wage-Hour
Act, and since it is the congressional
intent which governs, their views
are entitled to respect. What they
have tried to do is to draft legisla-
ton which would be adequate to
cope with the abuses that have
sprung up in the wake of the tor
tured meanings which the Supreme
Court has read into the law, par
ticularly the $4,000, 100000 in suits
which have been filed against
employers.
They concede that some inequitieS
may result. But they also take the
view that inequities are inevitable
in any event, and that the larger
public interest requires that there
be a legislative ban placed on
portal l-to-portal suits based on
court-made definition of the term
work week.
In doing this. according to Sen
ator Cooper, there has been no
interference with the wage and
hour administrators control over
the period of principal activity"
In other words, the provisions of
the wage-hour law and the au-
thority of the administrator remain
undisturbed so far as what might
be called the generally accepted
work day is concerned. 1t is only
with respect to the periods imme-
diately preceding and Immediately
following the usual working period
that the Senate bill, in it's main
aspect, undertakes to legislate.
These are the periods during which
the portal claims have arisen and
it is these claims which the amend
ments are designed to strike down.
If experience shows that, in fact,
the wage-hour law has been viii
ated, there will then be time enough
to take remedial action. Meanwhile,
it is to be hoped that the pending
legislation, after conference adjust
mont will ho T,ocSc1
