Joseph Lochner, a bakery owner in Utica, New York, is fined in 1905 for employing workers beyond the state's limit of 60 hours per week. Does the law violate the bakery owner's right to private contract? Are the bakery workers put in physical jeopardy? Does the U.S. Supreme Court's decision trample states' rights? John Sparks, J.D., dean of the Calderwood School of Arts & Letters at Grove City College, will share why the case is still widely discussed and how the Court at the beginning of the 20th century sought to rein in the reformist tide that eventually washed, unrestrained, into the New Deal and modern liberalism. |
