[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.
