'''Facts''' | |||
The plaintiff operated a chicken warehouse where they slaughtered chickens and then sold them exclusively in state. Congress tried to govern their wages, regulations, etc. | |||
'''Issues''' | |||
Where the scope of Congress’ interstate commerce clause ends. | |||
'''Holding/Decision''' | |||
The undisputed facts afford no warrant for the argument that the poultry handled by the defendants at their slaughterhouse markets was in a current flow of interstate commerce, and was thus subject to congressional regulation. | |||
'''Rules''' | |||
The poultry had come to a permanent rest within the state. Where the effect of intrastate transactions is merely indirect, such transactions remain within the domain of state power. |
