[258] 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.

[260] 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.
