Scope and Contents

The document consists of a letter from M. Sanditen, President of the Oklahoma Tire & Supply Co., to Representative George B. Schwabe expressing opposition to H.R. 3914, which would subject retail businesses with more than four outlets or annual volume over $500,000 to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
