The Days of Rest

"If we can not trust free agents to regulate their own labor, its times and quantity, it is difficult to trust them to make their own contracts. If the Legislature could prescribe THE DAYS OF REST for them, then it would seem that the same power could prescribe the hours to work, rest, and eat. If the Legislature have the authority to appoint A TIME OF COMPULSORY REST, . . . it is without limit, and may extend to the prohibition of all occupations at all times."—Cal. Supreme Court, Ex. Parte Newman, 9 Cal., pp. 509, 518, 517, 510.
