e— MINIMUM WAGE “LAW HELD INVALID ~NWASHNGTON District of Columbia Court Denies Right to Fix Wom- } en’s Pay by Law. WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—Because romen have been accorded equality ith men in the political and commer- Cial world they are no longer entitled to the special protection which has been thelr right from time immemo- rial, according to the decision of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals yesterday in declaring the Minimum WWage law of the District of Columbia walid. Phe decision, mado in fhe CBiidren’s Hospital, which fought @gainst a minimum wago of $16.50 Weekly for its women workers, di clares that ‘‘the constitutional limita- tions upon Congress involve funda- mental principles of luman rig’ @erve’ to the whole people, and not any favored class of citizenship."” No reason is apparent, it was con- tended, why the operation of the law should be extended to women to the exclusion of men, since women have been accorded full equality with men in the commercial and political world The opinion which holds the law invalid, as read by Justice Van Ors- dell, probably is the broadest and most sweeping opinion on the subje ct to come out of the Appellate Court The jurist declares that ‘the right of a person to sell his labor upon su terms as he deems pr ris, in essence, the same as the right of the Surchaser of labor to prescribe the mnditions upon which he will accept he case of @uch labor from the person offering to sell it.” - Other important papargraplis in the opinion are: “High wages do to good morals the general welfar ly tend promotion of standard of virtue and :nc no higher among the pro in among the poor, Their worth t be m red in dollars and or promoted have w a legal subsidy been so high as the war, and never in the history of th. republic has crime been so uni versal; and this condition, it must be conceded, has 1 impression upon people.
