In Holden v. Hardy, the Supreme Court upheld a law limiting the working hours of miners. The law in question was a Utah statute that limited mine and smelter workers to an eight-hour workday. The Court found that the law was a reasonable exercise of the state's police power to protect the health and safety of workers.
