This article in the Topeka Journal discusses a 1937 U.S. Supreme Court decision on the ability of states to grant minimum wages. The recent ruling reversed a previous decision on that issue that declared the Kansas Court of Industrial Relations unconstitutional. The Court of Industrial Relations was created in 1920 following a special session of the Kansas Legislature. It's purpose was to resolve disputes between labor and capital. It was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1923.
