Brush Industry Seeks Repeal of Minimum Wage Law
Letter to the editor from John L. Whiting and J. J. Adams Co. argues the Massachusetts minimum wage decree, effective Aug. 15 1914, harms brush makers by forcing $8.37 weekly wages after year one, causing layoffs, reduced output, and outflow of cheap brushes to other states. They claim army and navy orders boost demand but Massachusetts loses when production moves elsewhere.
