MINIMUM WAGE LAW
GOOD FOR BUSINESS
Several States Enact Such
Legislation and Create
Wage Boards.
BY Victor EIIintt

WASHINGTON, June ia fair
living wage, established by boards
created under minimum wage legis-
latiOn, for women and girls in various
American states, and under similar
legislation for both men and women
in England and Australasia, has never
interfered with Industrial prosperity,
such is the verdict OF the United
States bureau of labor statistics, as
shown by report on minimum wage
legislation, just published The in
ference from the facts recorded in this
study is that the business man who
wishes to be humane toward his en-
plOyes, while yet meeting modern
competition in the commercial world.
is bound to favor the establishment OF
minimum wage boards.
Australian states and New Zealand
have had minimum wage laws for the
past . years, and their industrial
development has apparently suffered
no encouragement on that account.
British lawmakers have for more than
20 years been seeking TO meet the
need for protection of the worst paid
workers in certain ndustries-notably
that of chain making-and the min
imum wage board has been their So
luton of the problem. Germany also
has established trade boards with a
similar function. Since 1912 tha
states of Massachusetts, Oregon,
Utah, Washington, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, Colorado. California and Wis
consin have in succession enacted
minimum wage laws. Their consti-
tutionality has been appealed TO the
United states supreme court in a case
brought up from Oregon. Decision
upon it has been pending for some
months.
Effect Not Yet Apparent.
While the boards have not been at
work long enough in the United States
to enable the effect of their operation
upon industry TO become generally
apparent. the experience of Australia
and New Zealand, and of the once
'sweated" trades in Great Britain, is
repeated in. such testimony from en-
ployers as the bureau has secured. For
example, a Seattle garment manufac-
turer, who had opposed the passage
of the bill in Washington state writes
to the government investigators:
PERSONALLY, l find that my busi-
ness has been benefited as the ne
cessity for greater discipline and more
rigid enforcement of regular hours has
become fully apparent. We have
raised our average weekly payroll, l
think I am safe in saying, at least 81
per girl, if not more. Some of our
nelp nave always uOl6 IheII DcSl dllN
show little change, but those who
were satisfied with less, the minimum
wage has benefited. as they saw they
must earn more or quit"
The bureau declares that in the
state of Washington none of the pre-
dictions made by the opponents of the
measure came true. There was no
wholesale discharge of women en-
employees, no general leveling Of
wages, no general replacing of women
employees by cheaper help. and no ten
dency to make the minimum the max
imum wage.
