The reversal of the progress happened when money was tightened, and in the aftermath of FDR's policies to increase the power of organized labor.

Nope. Its when spending was reduced


It was after all those things happened. Its not like spending was the only major potentially relevant change.

at the encouragement/insistent yelling by conservatives

FDR controlled the policy, he owns it. It doesn't matter who pushed it.

Not that lower spending was necessarily a bad policy, but trying to move the budget from large (for the time) deficits to balance, was mistimed.
