Barry v. Compton

26 P.2d 359, 37 N.M. 599

Opinion

WATSON, Chief Justice.

John H. Barry, proprietor of a retail hardware establishment, and W. T. Stalcup, an employee thereof, for themselves and in behalf of others similarly situated, sued to enjoin J. C. Compton, district attorney, and E. B. Eastham, county sheriff, from enforcing Laws 1933, c. 149, limiting the hours of labor of male employees in mercantile establishments.

The defendants demurred to the complaint, and, their demurrer being overruled, refused to plead further, and have appealed from the final judgment awarding the relief prayed for.

There are no contentions of error here other than that the learned trial judge erred in holding the statute unconstitutional. State v. Henry, 37 N. M. 536, 25 P.(2d) 204, is therefore controlling of.this case.

The judgment will be affirmed and the cause remanded. It is so ordered.

SADLER, HUDSPETH, BIOKLEY, and ZINN, JJ., concur.
