Erie Wins Action Over Eight Hour Law
The U S Supreme Court held New York State’s eight hour limit for railway employees invalid as applied to interstate commerce, while upholding the semi monthly payment provision as a valid exercise of police power. Erie Railroad challenged both provisions after a telegraph operator worked over eight hours. The decision foregrounded federal supremacy in regulating interstate rail commerce and reserved state power to alter corporate charters.
