Tw o Test Coses The unanimous action of the high court came in rulings on two test cases involving a small Georgia lumber company and a group of small southern cotton mills. Justice Harlan F. Stone wrote the decisions. In one case the supreme court reinstated indictments which Federal Judge William H. Barrett had quashed on grounds the law was unconstitutional. The government had charged the F. W. Darby Lumber Co., Statesboro, Ga., had violated the law by failing to pay the minimum hourly wage and had refused to pay time and one half for overtime in excess of the prescribed work week. Colton Wage Query The other case involved validity of the determination of a special industry committee setting a 32 cent minimum hourly wage for the cotton textile industry. A group of small southern cotton mills had contested that action, challenging the procedure used in arriving at the wage rates as well as the general validity of the law.
