LABOR LAW ANNULLED;
SEVEN-DAY WEEK STANDS
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 2.—County District Judge Dickinson has declared the one-day-rest-in-seven law unconstitutional.
The act was passed by the last state legislature in an effort to check the sweating of defenseless workers.
There was no attempt to close down any seven-day plant, and the only requirement was that employes should not be compelled to labor seven days a week.
The Minneapolis Gas Light company raised the point that the act was unconstitutional and Judge Dickinson ruled accordingly.
