! narsHlne OUT mlx,mum WAGE LAWS

The United States supreme court is
threshing out the minimum wage law
of Oregon. The case came up to the
court from Portland on appeal from the
ruling Of the Oregon Industrial Welfare
Association which established time
rate for women employed in manufac
turing at not less than 1854 for fifty
hour week. Appeal was made by q
manufacturer OF paper boxes and one
employee to the U. S. supreme court.
The attorney general of Oregon, the
counsel for the welfare commission
an attorney for the Oregon consumers
league and Louis D. Brandeis are de-
Tending the ruling. The case VIII thus
be thoroughly defended and constitu-
tionality Of the minimum wage laws
fairly settled before the court Of last
resort.
The case is important to other state
which have enacted statutes bearing
upon the minimum wage and states
