1913 Minimum Wage Law (Washington State)
Constitutional
Majority: Hughes, Brandeis, Cardozo, Roberts, Stone.
Dissenting- The Four Horsemen: Sutherland, Butler, McReynolds, Van Devanter.
Majority Opinion: Chief Justice Hughes.
Constitution does not explicitly protect "freedom of contract." The liberty in question is subject to the restraints of due process. Valid exercise of state's police power. The decision in Adkins v. Children's Hospital striking down a similar minimum wage law was overruled.
