Supreme Court Rules Weekly Wage Law Constitutional
The Supreme Court holds the 1899 weekly wage law constitutional, deeming it not an unlawful deprivation of liberty or property. It states labor is property and that the law does not justify denying workers the right to contract freely. The ruling reverses a lower court judgment requiring back wages and penalties in a factory wage case. The decision arouses concern in labor circles and is seen as affecting unions and non union workers.
