It took only 35 days to declare unconstitutional the District Dis-trict of Columbia Minimum Wage law in 1923. 31 days to outlaw the New York Minimum Wage law last June, 6 to void the Arkansas Ar-kansas law, and 11 to veto Arizona's. Ari-zona's. Some of the inner factors which caused this long delay have now leaked out through one source or another, and are extremely significant. There were two causes for delay: First, was getting Justice Roberts Rob-erts to make up his mind. It was his switch which swung the court in favor of the act. To find excuses for reversing himself him-self within four months was no easy job. Second, was the drafting: of Justice SutherlAnd dissenting opinion. He did not start writing opinion.
