Excerpt from Selected Articles on Minimum Wage
This volume is an outgrowth of a pamphlet issued in 1913 in the Abridged Debater's Handbook Series. At that time minimum wage legislation was still a speculative question in the United States. The Massachusetts act had just been passed and other legislation was pending. The passage of minimum wage acts by nine states during the same year did not take the subject out of the realm of discussion, and with the raising of the question of constitutionality the volume of written matter increased enormously. From this literature an attempt has been made to choose wisely such articles as would present the question from many points of view, that of the employer, the trade unionist, the lawyer, the economist, the social worker, etc. In the arrangement of material the articles have been grouped roughly as follows: those bearing on the conditions that call for a regulation of wages; discussions of the economic theory of the minimum wage; reports on the minimum wage in operation. A word may be said for the index, a new feature in this series. An effort has been made to make the index conform to the brief. In the choice of subject headings for the index, catch words from the brief have been used as largely as possible, so that any one working from the brief may turn to the index and find practically every point covered there. The discussion has not been limited to minimum wage for women.
