Section 110 of the Labor Law is now included in the provisions of article 6. See last sentence in section 111, infra.

Bake-shop Law.-The former section, limiting the hours of work of bakers, was held unconstitutional in Lochner v..New York, (1904) 198 U. S. 45, 25 S. Ct. 539, 49 U. S. (L. ed.) 937, 3 Ann. Cas. 1133, .reversing (1904) 177 N. Y. 145, 69 N. E. 373, 101 A. S. R. 773, which affirmed 73 App. Div. 120, 76 N. Y. S. 396, on the ground that it was an unlawful interference with the right to contract, not justified by the police power. Before the original section was declared unconstitutional it was held that its application was not confined to concerns manufacturing bread and biscuit made of flour and meal, but extended to the manufacture of food products from edible grains by baking, without regard to the previous preparation of such grain by grinding, rolling or other process.
