Head Matter:
The People of the State of New York, Respondent, v. Fifth Avenue Coach Company, Appellant.
Crimes — conviction for violation of provision of Labor Law requiring designation of day of rest for employees required to work on Sunday — when barn a “factory ” within meaning of statute.
People v. Fifth Avenue Coach Co., 184 App. Div. 936, affirmed.
(Argued January 31, 1921;
decided March 1, 1921.)
Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the first judicial department, entered June 21, 1918, which affirmed a judgment of the Court of Special Sessions of the city of New York convicting the defendant of a violation of the Labor Law. The defendant was charged with operating a factory on Sunday without having complied with the provisions of the Labor Law (§ 8a, subd. 3), i. e., without having posted in a conspicuous place on the premises a schedule containing a fist of its employees who were required or allowed to work on Sunday and designating the day of rest for each, and without having filed a copy of such a schedule with the commissioner of labor. The alleged offense consisted in allowing a man to replace a “ jack shaft ” on a motor omnibus in the defendant’s barn on Sunday, and the case turned on the question whether said barn was a factory within the meaning of section 2 of the Labor Law.
Louis S. Carpenter, William D. Van Pelt and James L. Quaekenbush for appellant.
