General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
Dominion Hotel, Inc. v. Arizona, 249 U.S. 265 (1919)
Dominion Hotel, Incorporated v. State of Arizona No. 178 Submitted March 11, 1919 Decided March 24, 1919 249 U.S. 265
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT
OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA
Syllabus
Under the equal protection clause, a state may do what it can to prevent what is deemed an evil and stop short of those cases in which the harm to the few concerned is thought less important than the harm to the public that would ensue if the rule were made mathematically exact. P. 268.
A law of Arizona (Penal Code, par. 717) placing restrictions upon the hours of labor of women in hotels, with penalties upon hotelkeepers for infractions, excepts in part railroad restaurants or eatinghouses upon railroad rights of way and operated by or under contract with any railroad company. Held that the Court cannot say, upon its judicial knowledge, that the legislature had no adequate ground for the distinction; possibly one might be found in the need of adjusting the service in the excepted restaurants to the hours of trains. Id.
18 Ariz. 345 affirmed.
The case is stated in the opinion.
