1Opinion of the Court
AMIDON, District Judge.
This case involves section 3 of the Hours of Service Act (34 Statutes at Large, 1415 [Comp. St. 1913, § 8679]). The complaint charges in separate counts, a large number of violations, and demands the penalty fixed by the law. The case was submitted on an agreed statement of facts. Upon this the court directed a verdict in favor of the plaintiff as to all counts embraced in this writ of error, except 18. As to that it directed a verdict in favor of the company. Both parties bring error, the government as to count 18, and the company as to the others.
