Republican opposition to FLSA of 1938

I was trying to research the 1930's Republican arguments against the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, and got this quote below. Is it accurate ?

Republicans (almost completely unanimously) and southern conservative Democrats tried with all their might to stop the "Fair Labor Standards Act", which started as one bill in December 1932 and was finally signed into law on June 25th, 1938. Even after it passed, Republicans challenged the law all the way to the Supreme Court (does this sound familiar?) and lost in 1941, again in 1942. Conservatives hated FDR for getting minimum wage passed, also for abolishing child labor. They hated him for it and called him "Jewsevelt" over it. Their rhetoric over him was so toxic that even their nominee in 1940, Wendell Willkie, avoided the arch-conservatives in his Party.
