Minimum Wage Law Void;
Sweeping Rule BY Court

Washington, Oct. 2S.--The United
States supreme court has sci aside
the Arizona minimum wage law fof
women. The court rendered no formal
opinion, but merely reaififmed It's
annulment Of the District of Columbia
wage law for women in 1922. That
was a 5-to-3 decision, the minority
consisting of Chief Justice TAFT, ant
Associate Justices Sanford and
Holmes. Justice Brandeis took no
part in the case because of his con-
nection with minimum wage leglsla-
ton before he was appointed TO the
supreme bench.
The District of Columbia law,
which was passed by congress, was
set aside, the majority opinion held
because it violated the right OF cor
tract. The majority said that every
worker has "the ethical right TO a
living wage, but 'in principle there
can be no difference between the case
of selling labor and the case OF sell
ing goods -, a..
The court declared that while the
physical differences of woman must
be recognized in cetrain cases, ana
laws regulating hours and WORKING
conditions may be upheld, I'VE can
not accept the doctrine that women OF
mature age require or may be sub
iected TO restrictions upon their nd
erty Of contract which could not law
fully be imposed in the case Of men
under cimilar circumstance"
In dissenting from this opinion,
Chief Justice Taft practically charged
his colleagues with basing opinions
ON their economic views.
1T is not" he said, "the function
of this court to hold congressional acts
invalid simply because they are
passed to carry out economic views
which the court believes to be un"ise
or unsound." -.
1t was the majority decision in this
case that the court reaffirmed in the
Arizona case, which came up from
Nogales, Arizona, where a merchant
was arrested for contracting With -four
women 10 work for him at less than
the legal rate Of $l6 a week.

The material to be donated by these
men will be of the best quality. and
appropriate for the purpose.
Fred Finder, Who is president Of

viewed several local unions. the Bull.

Employers, in an endeaSor TO interest

taken by these organizations, but all
have indicated their approval ef the
plan. Ii is expected. that all Will fol
low the precedent established through
many generous services rendered the
public in the past, and donate the nee
esSary labor.
Members of the Master Plumbers
Association believe that the Chamber
of Commerce should be relieved of
the responsibility of raising the neces.
sary funds to complete the work IN
view of the fact that they are already
involved in loss OF SO month
rental which might be had from phi
vate concerns for use OF the basement
which they are donating for the COM
fort station. In addition to the room
the Chamber of Commerce has pledged
the services of a janitor TO keep the
station in order, and this means a
perpetual outlay of expense ior janls
tors services.
Donations of labor for completing
job will greatly aid in bringing the
plans to maturity, and With generosity
on the part of the crafts which is fully
expected, there shouhl be no delay in
completing the station for use eally IN

Edge and others of the administration
party who claim that the cost of col
lecting these small amounts exceed
payments. Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon favors a reduction on these IN

This would be cut of 50 on every
