...have intimated that the decision, which related to a District of Columbia statute passed by Congress, would not be considered binding in the event that a state law came before the Court. The power of Congress is limited by the Fifth Amendment and that of the states by the Fourteenth, but they are substantially identical in providing for the liberty of contract, and there is little reason to anticipate that any state law will receive more favorable consideration...
