Invalid minimum wage act declared
Fort Smith demurrers challenging the 1915 female labor wage act were sustained in circuit court by Judge Paul Little in the case of J. Crow, operator of a laundry. The state said it would appeal, marking the first such move since the act took effect. The defense argued the signed bill differed from the legislature version, was illegal for penalizing employees, and conflicted with state and federal constitutions. Crowe was convicted in a fire tree court. The state plans an appeal.
