[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lee: [QB] [QUOTE]There is no reasonable ground, on the score of health, for interfering with the liberty of the person or the right of free contract, by determining the hours of labor, in the occupation of a baker. Nor can a law limiting such hours be justified a a health law to safeguard the public health, or the health of the individuals following that occupation. Section 110 of the labor law of the State of New York, providing that no employes shall be required or permitted to work in bakeries more than sixty hours in a week, or ten hours a day, is not a legitimate exercise of the police power of the State, but an unreasonable, unnecessary and arbitrary interference with the right and liberty of the individual to contract in relation to labor, and, as such, it is in conflict with, and void under, the Federal Constitution.[/QUOTE]So. . . The NY labour law said that if people didn't work too long, then they wouldn't get tired and have accidents. Lochner - and the Supreme Court - felt that there were better ways (of ensuring people didn't have accidents) than requiring them to go to bed early? 8) [/QB][/QUOTE]
