ren-4our Day Law Knocked Out

The federal supreme court, in decision
handed down Monday, holds the law OF
New York making the maximum days
work In the bakeries Of that state ten
hours and the weeks work sixty hours
unconstitutional. The court declares that
such legislation is In contrayention OF the
14th amendment relating TO the right of
contract. The court holds, in effect, that
under such ordinary conditions as obtain
in the bakery business individuals must
be left 10 make such contracts as they
please with each other as 10 the length OF
the days or weeks service. The court
was divided ON the question, 5 to 4, Har-
Ian, White, Day and Holmes dissenting.
Harlan declared no more important de-
cision had been made in the past century.
Apparently, il overturns all the numerous
laws OF the several states seeking 70 limit
the days labor, except where the state or
municipality is the employer. The de-
cision reyerses that given in the New YORK
supreme court, written by Alton b.
