ground that the welfare OF the state
requires that women and minors
should be protected from conditions
or labor which have pernicious er'
feet on their health and morals, ana
inadequate wages and unduly long
hours and unsanitary conditions OF
labor have such a pernicious effect,
In his brief before the court, Mr..
Brandeis says: THE facts OF com
mon knowledge concerning the effects
OF the employment OF women In In
dustrial occupations establish, We
submit, conclusiyely, that there Is
reasonable ground for holding that TO
permit women in Oregon TO work for
inadequate wages Is dangerous to the
public health, safety, morals, or well
fare"
Mr.. Brandeis pointed out that such
legislation has been on the statute
books OF New Zealand for 20 years
the first law having been enacted In
1894. He showed how similar legis-
lation was enacted by New South
Wales In 1901, by western Australia
In 1902. and by the Australian com
monwealth in 1904. The province OF
Victoria followed in 1896, and then
came South Australia, Queensland
and Tasmania. Following the exam
pie OF her colonies, Great Britain en-.
acted her first minimum wage law in
1909 for four trades; and In 1913 for
four additional trades.
Mr.. Brandeis said TO 3he court that
the single thing for them to determine
was. first, whether the evils OF low
wages actually exist Ca point admit
ted by the attorneys on the other
side), and. second, whether the legis-
lature did a reasonable thing when IL
attempted TO cure the evils by mini
mum wage legislation.

that with insufficient wages, food is
necessarily cut down below the level
OF subsistence. In order to meet un-
avoidable expenses for lodging and
clothing. working women often re-
duce their diet to the lowest possible
point and health inevitably suffers.
proves that workers re-
ceiying the lowest wages are able 10
spend least on health. Hence, they
are often without care In sickness. al
though their need is greatest by rea-
son OF low earnings and consequent
hardship. Authorities agree In the
opinion that while the underpayment
OF women and the consequent strug-
gle TO live may not be the primary
cause for entering upon an immoral
life, it is inevitably one Of the most
important contributing factors. When
wages are too low to supply nourish-
ment and other human needs, temp
tation is more readily yielded to-"
Every argument advanced here as
to the possible injury 10 industry from
the passage OF minimum wage laws
can be found duplicated in the de-
bates before the English parliament

hipited the employment Of little chill

Nobody pained by the mighty blow.

Nobody knows OF the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother;

Nobody knows OF the patience sought.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.--The fate
OF women workers In the United
States In the generations to come Is
now in the hands OF nine men. The
United States supreme court has con-
Guided its hearings OF arguments and
has taken under Amusement the case
OF Stettler Va. O'Hara. and Simpson
VS.. OHara-otherwise known as the
oregon minimum wage case.
On It's decislon-rendered at its
convenience-will depend for all time
TO come COR until the court changes
its mind the right of state TO say
thai an employer shall not pay less
wages TO woman than are sufficient
for her to maintain decent exis-
tence.
Louis ID. Brandeis, appearing in be-
half OF the Oregon wage commission.
has concluded his oral argument be-
fore the court, having been granted
one hour In which o. present his case.
With his incisiye, convincing logic,
Brandeis swept aside the maze or
technicalities and circumlocution In
which the opposing attorneys had en-
yeloped the case and brought forth
the single point at issue-namely,
whether the legislators OF the state
OF Oregon. knowing the terrible con-
ditions resulting from low wages
among women and girls in industry.
has exceeded It's powers under the
constitution OF the United States In
interfering with the liberty OF help
less girls and women TO contract TO
work at such wages as they please.
The supreme court of Oregon has al
ready ruled against the employers.
The persons bringing suit In the fed
eral case contend that the Oregon
minimum wage law Is violation OF
the fourteenth amendment 10 the fed
eral constitution, which prohibits any
state from making any law which
shall abridge the privileges or i'm
munities OF citizens OF the United
States" The plaintiffs contend that
the establishment of a minimum wage
to be paid TO women interferes with
their privileges and immunitles "-to
work at starvation wages.
Nine states have enacted minimum
wage laws for women. including Cali
fornia. Oregon. Washington. Utah.
Nebraska, Colorado, Minnesota, Wis
consin and Massachusetts,. Other
states have this legislation under con-
sideration. Congress now has before
II legislation TO establish minimum
wage for women In the District or
Columbia. Four other states have
such legislation pending. II the SUI
preme court should declare the Ore
gon law unconstitutional. this legisla-
ton would thereby be wiped of the
statute books OF the other nine states,
and the possibility OF protecting the
health and welfare OF women by in
suring them a living wage. would van
ish. It would take a constitutional
amendment to overrule the supreme
court-a task requiring a quarter OF a
century.
