           There should be no bitterness or hate where the sole thought is the welfare of the United States of                   America . . . we will continue to seek to improve working conditions for the workers of America—to                    reduce hours over-long, to increase wages that spell starvation, to end the labor of children, to wipe                out sweatshops. Of course we will continue every effort to end monopoly in business, to                                    support collective bargaining, to stop unfair competition, to abolish dishonorable trade practices.

                                                                                                                                - Franklin D. Roosevelt, 1936
