Supreme Court Upheld Hours of Service Law for Rail Employees
The U S Supreme Court, in a decision announced by Justice Hughes, upheld the 1907 hours of service act for railroad employees as constitutional. The case, a test suit by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, concerned limits on duty time for trainmen and telegraph operators and rest periods.
