The United States Supreme Court held that a Federal Minimum Wage was unconstitutional, ruling to that effect in Adkins v. Children's Hospital.
The holding was, rather obviously, later overruled.
On the topic, it's worth noting that generally wages, even the lowest paid wages, tend to be well above minimum wage. The minimum wage is near and dear to the hearts of political liberals, but it basically ceased to function as a floor years ago.
The Tribune had some notable headlines:
Harvard University passed a resolution that whites and blacks (all men) could not be compelled to live or eat together, but that no man could be excluded by reason of color
Los Angeles won its bid to host the 1932 Olympics, a bid made easy by the fact that it was the only city to put in for it.
