FOOTNOTES:

See articles by Hammond in the American Economic Review, June, 1913, and in the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, July, 1913; and page 62 of the Appendix to the third volume of the Report of the New York State Factory Investigating Commission.

See the replies of the London Board of Trade to the N. Y. Factory Investigating Commission, on pages 77, 78 of the volume cited above; and especially the two monographs by R. H. Tawney, "The Establishment of Minimum Rates in the Chain-Making Industry," and "The Establishment of Minimum Rates in the Tailoring Industry." London; 1914 and 1915.

See the excellent and varied series of papers on the subject in Orth's "The Relation of Government to Property and Industry," pp. 103-178. Ginn & Company; 1915.

The arguments for and against the constitutionality of a legal minimum wage are adequately presented in the briefs, respectively, of Louis D. Brandeis and Rome G. Brown, in the cases of Stettler vs. O'Hara and Simpson vs. O'Hara. The former is published by the National Consumers' League, New York, and the latter by the Review Publishing Company, Minneapolis.

"Minimum Rates in the Tailoring Industry," p. 161.

One of the best statements of the economic aspect of the minimum wage is that by Sidney Webb, in the Journal of Political Economy, Dec., 1912. Probably the most varied and comprehensive general discussion is the symposium in the Survey, Feb. 6, 1915. See especially the excellent presentation in Commons and Andrews' "Principles of Labour Legislation," pp. 167-200.
