Supreme Court Upheld Interstate Labor Statute Authority
The Supreme Court today upheld a 1907 labor statute applying to interstate carriers, finding the act within Congress's power and not violating due process. Justice Hughes announced the decision in a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad case, noting the law's plain terms target interstate commerce and that intrastate activity did not defeat its reach. The ruling affirmed both the statute and the Interstate Commerce Commission order, with a unanimous vote and no rehearing sought in the related Standard Oil matter.
