Quote – Statement of the American Retail Federation, at the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare (Subcommittee on Labor).

The retailing industry recognizes the need for responsible conscientious treatment of its workers. There is justifiable resentment against unnecessary further incursion of the Federal Government into business operations with the attendant danger of increased bureaucratic controls, increased interference with private business, and, most important, further regimentation of the individual.

From the prepared statement of the American Retail Federation, at the Senate Committee on Labor and public Welfare (Subcommittee on Labor) hearing “Equal Pay Act of 1962.”
