The People of the State of New York, Respondent v. Charles Schweinler Press, Appellant

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the conviction under section 93‑b of the Labor Law, holding that the statute prohibiting women from working in factories between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. is a valid exercise of the state's police power and does not violate due‑process or equal‑protection guarantees of the New York or United States Constitutions. The court relied on the legislative report, common knowledge, and medical testimony that night work is substantially injurious to women's health.
