When did any government entity get the authority to order a private business the amount of wages to pay employees?

I believe it started with the New Deal and Roosevelt.

Something like 25 cents/hr. But a loaf of bread was a dime in the 1930s.

Price controls and minimum wage laws have worked wonders for the advancement of . . . socialism.
