SWAN, Circuit Judge
(dissenting).
I think the judgment should be affirmed. Section 3 of the Act, 29 U.S.C.A. § 203(j), provides that “for the purposes of this chapter an employee shall be deemed to have been engaged in the production of goods if such employee was employed in producing, manufacturing, mining, handling, transporting, or in any other manner working on such goods, or in any process or occupation necessary to the production thereof.” In my opinion the porters, elevator operators, and night watchmen of the defendant’s office building are too remotely related to “the production” of goods for commerce to be within the coverage of the Act. Rucker v. First Nat. Bank of Miami, Okl., 10 Cir., 138 F.2d 699, 702.
