Excerpt from A Legal Minimum Wage The present study of minimum wage legislation is an introduction to a larger study which the writer intends to make in the near future. Anything like a complete study of minimum wage legislation, at least from the stand point of its positive economic effects, both direct and indirect, is impossible in the present state of our infor mation. This is especially true as, regards the efiects of minimum wage legislation in England and America. Min imum wage legislation is largely in the experimental stage in both countries as yet. It is expected that the Report of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics on minimum wage in Oregon, which is now in course of preparation, will give us precise data in regard to the economic effects of this form of legislation in that State. The writer regrets that he could not avail himself of the excellent report on Minimum Wage Legislation, in the United States and Foreign Countries which was published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as the present work was in the press. Limited as is our positive knowledge in regard to the efiects of minimum wage legislation a clear presentation of such facts as we have cannot but prove helpful to those who are interested in this new social reform measure. If, as the writer believes minimum wage legislation is a useful remedy for the low wages of women and minor workers, much good will be done by educating the public as to its necessity and feasibility. This was the inspiring thought from the beginning to the end of this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Selected Articles on Minimum Wage The object of minimum wage legislation is to improve the condition of the working classes. Questions for discussion are A. Are bad social conditions due to a low wage? B. IS the regulation of wages by law the remedy? The Affirmative will attempt to prove that an insufficient wage is the basic cause of social misery; that the eco nomic law of supply and demand cannot be depended on to regulate conditions; that the theory of the minimum wage is economically sound, and that it has proved suc cessinl in operation.

Excerpt from Minimum-Wage Legislation in the United States and Foreign Countries The minimum-wage law, as it has been known in recent American discussion, and as it is usually understood in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, does not refer to a law in which is fixed a single rate below which no worker may be employed, although such laws are in existence in most of the. Australasian States. The minimum wage, as understood in this country and Great Britain, is a wage fixed by some agency created by law, after due investigation has been made. Two methods have grown up in Australia and New Zealand, one or the other of which has been followed in practically all of the States where minimum-wage legislation has been put in force. In Victoria, since the enactment of the first law, July 28, 1896, minimum wages have been established by wages boards, made up of equal numbers of representatives of employers and employees, pre sided over by an impartial chairman, who has a deciding vote. These wages boards are set up for each trade or industry and are required to discuss conditions and to determine by agreement the minimum wages to be paid in the various processes and occupations in their own indus try. These minimum rates, when fixed and published, are for the time being legally binding upon all employers in the industry within the area for which the board is appointed. This method was intro duced in South Australia in 1900, in Queensland in 1908, in Tasmania in 1911, but some modification has been made in more recent legislation. A second method of fixing the minimum wage has been followed in New Zealand since 1894. The compulsory arbitration law of New Zealand, adopted primarily for the prevention of strikes and lockouts conferred upon the arbitration court the authority to fix the condi.

Excerpt from The Canadian Magazine, Vol. 55: Toronto, May, 1920; The Legal Minimum Wage The idea of regulating wages bylaw is not in any sense a novel one nor peculiar to the period in which we live. This will be apparent from a consideration of certain aspects of the economic history of England, previous to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Before the Norman Conquest and for a long time afterwards the manor was the great institution around which the economic life of England centred. The lord owned all the land in the neighborhood of his manor, and under him was a body of serfs. The amount of services rendered by the serfs to the lord of the manor, and the remunerations given for these services, were not matters of free contract but of custom and manorial regulation. As time went on a new class arose in the economic life of the country, comprising the artisans who, as the name implies, did not cultivate the soil, but manufactured articles for general use. Large numbers of this class, having been brought up under the influence of manorial custom, felt in their new pursuits that their constantly increasing numbers made necessary some sort of regulation such as that to which they had grown accustomed; and herein we find the motive for the establishment of the first Merchant Guilds. These organizations regulated the conditions under which their members work ed, the quality of the product turned out, and the price which they were to receive for it. But the one central purpose of all these regulations was to secure for members a sufficient income. At a later period, as greater numbers of unpropertied workmen flocked to the towns and cities, the Merchant builds became more and more exclusive, the idea being to prevent the different trades from becoming overcrowded. Bitter feeling was thus developed between the Merchant Guilds and the craftsmen who were debarred membership, and this feeling found impression in the rise of a new organization known as the Craft Guild. As in the case of the older Guild, the main object of the new one was to enable each craftsman to earn a livelihood by the exercise of his trade. History repeated itself in the desire for self-preservation, and the Craft Guild became in time as exclusive as the older brotherhood had been. It need not be emphasized that among the excluded workers in those years there existed no semblance of organization, no means of enforcing legitimate demands. Still, these did not fail to take advantage of such opportunities as the times afforded to improve their conditions. The havoc wrought by the awful plague of 1348 afforded a unique opportunity for self-assertion. Taking advantage of the scarcity of labour created by the epidemic, they demanded increased wages. But the employers refused such increases and even prevailed upon Parliament to pass a law known as The Statute of Labourers (Anno. 25, Edward III, Statute 1, A.D. 1350). The preamble of this bill runs thus: Whereas late against the malice of servants, which were idle and not willing to serve after the pestilence without taking excessive wages, it was ordained by our Lord the King, and by assent of the prelates, earls, barons and others of his Council, that such manner of servants as well as men and women should be bound to serve, receiving salary and wages accustomed in places where they ought to serve, in the Twentieth year of the reign of the King that now is. The scale of wages was set forth for the various occupations, and the sheriffs, justices and mayors were authorized to enforce them. Note that this enactment fixed a maximum, not a minimum wage, for it aimed to prevent the worker from receiving more and the employer from paying more than the rates prevailing before the plague. The Statute, however, failed of its purpose, for wages increased despite the appeals of the employers for further legislation to keep them down.

All are inextricably bound up in the success or failure of this enterprise. If we are right in our earnest conviction that the statutory Minimum Wage is a grievous economic error, and therefore a menace to capital and labor alike, the sooner it is probed to the depths the better for all.

The first two chapters Of the original edition have been almost entirely omitted because part Of the subject matter is no longer as timely as it was in 1906, while the remainder is not absolutely essential. For similar reasons the seven chapters forming the third section Of the work as it first appeared, have been left out Of the present edition. In the ten chapters that have been retained, a few changes have been made, either for the sake Of brevity or in order to bring certain statistical and other statements up to date. In its revised and abridged form, the work is intended primarily for those who wish to Obtain a compre hensive idea of the subject in the smallest possible compass. The writer hopes that it will be found to contain nothing superfluous, and yet to embrace everything that the average reader cares to know concerning the ethical, economic and legal aspects Of the living wage question.
