One of the earliest limitations on this was a March 31, 1840 executive order issued by Martin Van Buren. Legislation limiting this was passed in the House over the opposition of John O'Conner; that bill had been promoted in the House by Mary Norton and sponsored in the Senate by Robert Wagner. One law upholding a limitation on this was upheld in a case that saw the first use of the infamous (*) "Brandeis brief;" that case, Muller v. Oregon, took place just three years after a law limiting this for bakers was struck down as infringing on liberty of contract in Lochner v. New York.
