Kingston Judge Denies Injunction On Semi-Monthly Pay Law
Justice Betts of the Supreme Court refused to issue an injunction restraining enforcement of a state law requiring railroads to pay employees semi monthly. The New York Central, with over forty one thousand workers affected, argued the law unconstitutionally impaired contracts and interstate commerce. The judge said payment timing is not essential to the railroad employee contract and noted cash paying carriers like the NY Central can adapt. He added lawmakers considered storekeepers’ interests who await payment.
