1Opinion of the Court
COFFIN, Senior Circuit Judge.
The primary question in these appeals is whether federal labor law preempts a Maine statute that prohibits employers from satisfying claims against their employees through payroll deductions required as a condition of employment. The district court upheld the state provision, 703 F.Supp. 138, and we agree that the statute is not inconsistent with federal law. We also affirm the district court’s judgment that plaintiff is not entitled to liquidated damages and attorney’s fees.
