ings to the above named Defendant:
You are hereby to answer
the complaint in this action. which Is
filed in the office Of the clerk OF his
Court, Il copy of which is herewith
served upon YOU, and to file your an
swer. and serve a copy thereof upon
plaintiffs attorney within twenty days
after the service of this Summons. ex-
elusive Of the day Of service and in
case Of your failure to ppear or an
swer, judgment will be taken against
you by default for the relief demanded
in said complaint. for a cause of action
states as follows: That defendant has
been guilty of habitual intemperence
in the use of intoxicating drinks,
which intemperancc results in a degree
of intoxication which disqualifies the
defendant from properly attending to
her duties OF wife and housewife for
great portions of time. which habitual
intemperance has continued II been
persisted in for a period Of more than
one year before the date Of the com
mencefnent of this action.
That defendant has been guilty OF
extreme cruelty towards plaintiff,
which said extreme cruelty has on
sisted In the following acts, to-wit:
That the said defendant continually
quarrels with plaintiff, nags plaintiff,
finds fault with plaintiff continually
abuses plaintiff and continually drinks
to excess all without cause or provo
cation, and all of which said conduct
has resulted in the infliction by de-
PENDANT upon plaintiff of grevious
mental suffering. and which said
course of conduct toward plaintiff and
treatment Of plaintiff by defendant has
existed and been persisted for a period
OF more h a year before the date
OF the commencement of this action.
and which said conduct justly and rea-
sonably is OF such a nature and char
acter as to destroy the peace Of mind
and happiness of plaintiff and entirely
defeat the objects OF the marriage.
Wherefore, Plaintiff prays judgment
that the bonds of matrimony hereto
fore and now existing between plain
tiff and defendant be forever dissolved

passed by congress after some
1900 employee suits had been
filed. seeking nearly S6.000,-
O0O,0 0G as back wages under
the ruling Of the [. S. supreme
court in the Mt. Clemens Pot
terry company case.
The Portal act establishes two def
mite periods. and deals With each
separately in respect 10 claims for
wages for travel time or time spent
in m~ake-ready activities. Tie first
period is commonly called the BE
FORE period inasmuch as ii deals
with claims covering the period be-
fore May II. 1917. The second phase.
or the AFTER period, deals with mat
tiers arising after May IA. 1871.
AS for the BEFORE period, the new
act deals rather sweepinsly. It's pro.
visions are intended TO make many
OF the huge number Of employee
claims for back wages covering that
period invalid. The provisions would
expedite disposition of old claims BY
automatically relieving employers OF
liability and punishment for failure
to pay minimum wages or .oveTtime
compensation for certain activities.
Unless an activity was M which had
been compensate at the time OF its
performance either by express provis.
ions of a written or non-written 0 II
tract, or by a custom or practice"
at the place OF employment. The en-.
ployer is relieved from liability.
The Portal act does not seek to
define the activities involved in the
claims for back wages for the BE
FORE period. 1t makes no distinc-
ton between those activities per-
formed by an employee during the
workday proper and those activities
such as travel time-performed at
the beginning or end Of the %workday.
1t provides that no federal or state
court shall have jurisdiction to en-
force any liability or impose any pm
ishment with respect to an activity
which was not compensate in accord
ance with the contract, custom or
practice provisions cited above, As
a further step toward disposition of
claims involving the BEFORE period,
the new act permits compromise set
Element Of certain claims under spe-
Gifted conditions.
No provision for compromise set
Element Of claims is contained in the
federal wage and hour law. which
states that employers found liable for
back wages were required to pay the
full amount due, plus an equal amount
as liquidated damages, or penalty.
Montana labor news., 1948-02-12

pui here. too. the Portal act makes
3 change. Il permits the court. in
lis sound discretion, when a proper
showing specified by the new law has
been made by the employer, to deter
laiue how much. if any. damages shall
he awarded in the ease of valid claims
ont settled BY compromise. Also the
Portal act provides that employees
may waive liquidated damages. in
whole or in part. on claims which
arose before May II, 1947.
Tie new acts provisions are most
iefsiled as to the period AFTER May
1A. I'll, and particular emphasis is
placed unon application of the Wage
and ilnur Laws minimum wage and
overtime provisions. However. there
is no change III the general applica-
tom vi these provisions. which require
that all employees engaged in inter-
state commerce or III the production
Of goods for interstate commerce must
Ia paid At least 40 cents an hour and
tiiit 14u Il ldii lpI overtime diteT ~
hours a week.
The Portal act does seek to deter
mine when the overtime provision Of
the Wage and Hour law applies. The
Portal act further seeks to define. or
distinguish between the various activ-
tiles IN which employees may be en-
-area. as far rs the AFTER period
applies. Thus, these new terms enter
negotiations "principal' activities.
preliminary activities and post
liminary' activities. These terms will
be explained in the next article.
