The article discusses U.S. labor issues. From the stormy days of the sitdown strikes, the United Auto Workers (U.A.W) moved to the gray, uncertain weather of Atlantic City early this month for their sixteenth constitutional convention and prepared for the huge new season ahead. The U.A.W. is 1,32O,OOO strong and an institution now, and has been duly inflicted with the knowledge of all who are middle-aged that history is like a soap opera. For the first time, U.A.W. sessions were opened each day not only with a prayer but with a speech by a visiting clergyman.
