MINIMUM WAGE LAW
UPHELD BY RULING
UNANIMOUS DECISION HOLDS
MEASURE AFFECTING WOMEN
CONSTITUTIONAL.
LIVING WAGE" IS FIXED AT
$3.50 AND $s.25 WEEKLY IN
CERTAIN CITIES

By an order filed Friday the Mime
sofa minimum wage law affecting women
and minors in industries, was upheld by
the state supreme court. The cases on
which decision was based had been in
the courts more than three years and had
prevented prosecutions under the law
pending adjudication. The opinion is
sued clears the way for resumption Of
Fsachs actions, &:
In its unanimous decision, the supreme
court holds the law constitutional, and
valid in all respects. The minimum
wage commission fixed ga living wage"
$3.50 and s8.25, permitting range, in
certain second, third and fourth class
cities of the state.
The supreme court rules, in brief, that
Minnesota has provided law establish
the lowest wage sufficient to maintain
the woman or minor working in industrial
occupations in health and with necessary
comforts and conditions of reasonable
life.
p f- IS a
Two Suits to Test Law.
The minimum wage law passed by the
Minnesota legislature Of 1918 was tested
in separate suits by "A. M. Ramer, a
candy manufactures, and E. W. Williams,
as a taxpayer, both Of Winona, attacking
the constitutionality of the act and seek
ing to enioin its operation and expen-
diture of state funds under it's provision.
Orders of the district court in both
actions are reversed by the single opinion
of the supreme court written by Judge
Oscar Hallam on appeal by the state.
A Commission Cannot Make Laws.
In it's opinion, the supreme court sets
forth that the legislative act establish
ed minimum wage commission and pro-
vided for determining and establishing
minimum wages for women and children.
It finds against the main contention, 4
of complainants that the act is uncon-
stituticnal because it delegates legis-
lative power to a commission . and
states:
Tt is well settled that the legislature
may not delegate to a commission the
power to make laws. The act in ques-
tion delegates to the commission ex-
tensive powers, but they do not any
where reach the dignity of law-making
powers
The court gave heed to the compare
tive wages paid men and women in in-i
dustry. There is notion, quite
general" the opinion reads, t1 that women
in the trades are underpaid, that they
are not paid so well as men are paid for
the same service and that in fact inmany
cases the pay they receive for working
during all the working hours of the day
IS not enough to meet the cost Of reason
able living.
Public Investigations by publiclyE
appointed commissions have resulted in
findings ito this effect. Starting with
such facts, there is opinion, more or less
that these conditions are
dangerous to the morals of the workers
and to the health Of the workers and Of
future generations as well. states,
further, that women are not. on! IN I
