High Court Rules N Y wage law unconstitutional
The U S Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 that New York 1933 minimum wage law was unconstitutional as applied to women, violating the right to contract. Justice Butler led the majority, noting competitive conditions must apply to all workers. Dissenters urged special treatment for women and legislative choice. The decision leaves other wage provisions unsettled as the court adjourns to October.
