This article focuses on various political developments in the U.S. Labor must be protected in its rights of self-organization. The U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's interpretation of Section 7-a must be upheld. Rationalizing its behavior by appealing to both of these lofty ideals, the National Association of Manufacturers offers comfort and aid to any employer who wishes to fight majority rule in collective bargaining. Specifically, it stands ready to encourage court tests directed against the theory of industrial relations set forth by the National Labor Relations Board. Maine has added its surprise to the astonishment of socialist Upton Sinclair's nomination in California. Much of the intrinsic importance of the U.S. Congressional campaign is already lost in the certainty about its outcome. What remains to be seen in November is how small is the concession which the Democrats must make to the normal swing-back of the political pendulum. They expect to lose from twenty-five to thirty members in the House of Representatives and to gain a few, perhaps six, in the Senate.
