That wouldn't make sense if only men had a min wage. Then men, not women, would be unemployed.
Check my blog, if you're a loser
Not to mention the minimum wage was part of the New Deal, which came about 20 years after this incident.
laminustacitus:however, most of these laws were passed when the free-market had already done it.
The ironic thing about these laws is that there are occasional exceptions where people want to hang these rules, such as a kid who really wants to work, but cannot because the government said so with bullets.
Schools are labour camps.

I figured that men were in high demand whereas women were in low demand so to pay a minimum wage for men wouldn't have had such a huge effect but a minimum wage for women would've caused them to be less marketable. Hence there was only a minimum wage for men because most women were unemployed.
And weren't there minimum wages at the state level?
texanhottie:oh well who ever has the highest contributions of course but at least these men have some guidlines and arent allowed to get away with murdering 146 teenage girls and young women with nothing but a slap on the wrist
What does workers beating or murdering women have to do with free trade? It seems like there was a legal problem with respect to the enforcement of trade. You don't need to regulate working conditions or pay in order to stop owners from physically beating their workers. You need an uncorrupted judicial system.
