As U.S. elections draw near, pressure to use those powers could come from people like Doug Bartlett. His father started Bartlett Manufacturing, a circuit boardmaker in Cary, Illinois, in 1952. By 2000, the family business had $22 million in sales and employed 180 people. Since that banner year, the company has been in free fall. Bartlett says Chinese imports have driven down both sales and his labor...
