Facts
In 1903, the State of Oregon (plaintiff) passed a law that limited the working hours of female employees to no more than ten per day. Curt Muller (defendant), owner of a laundry business, was convicted of violating the statute after he made a female employee work more than ten hours in one day. Muller appealed his conviction to the Oregon Supreme Court, which affirmed. Muller then appealed to the United States Supreme Court.
