Supreme Court voids Indiana minimum wage law
The Indiana Supreme Court ruled the state public minimum wage statute unconstitutional. Frank L. Street sued Varney Electrical Supply Co. of Richmond after being paid 16 cents per hour for public-works labor, while the act would require at least 20 cents. The decision argues the law arbitrarily fixes wages for unskilled labor, denying liberty and pursuit of happiness, and questions applying a minimum rate across trades.
