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.

Ribnik v. McBride No. 569 Argued April 26, 27, 1928 Decided May 28, 1928 277 U.S. 350
ERROR TO THE COURT OF ERRORS
AND APPEALS OF NEW JERSEY
1. The business of an employment agent is not one "affected with a public interest," and, under the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, a state cannot fix the fees which such an agent may charge for his services. P. 355.
2. The power to require a license for, and to regulate the conduct of, a business is distinct from the power to fix prices. P. 358.
3. The fact that a business lends itself peculiarly to the practice of fraud, extortion, and discrimination may be ground for regulation, but not for price-fixing. P. 368.
4. In determining the constitutionality of a state price-fixing statute, the mere fact that like statutes exist in other states held not of persuasive force. P. 359.
103 N.J.L. 708 reversed.
Error to a judgment of the Court of Errors and Appeals of New Jersey which affirmed a judgment, 4 N.J. Misc.Rep. 623, sustaining an order of the state Commissioner of Labor refusing Ribnik a license to conduct an employment agency upon the ground that some of his proposed fees were too high.
