Mrs. Herrick Defends
Labor's Right To Strike
New York, N. Y. Elinore M. Herrick, regional director of the National Labor Relations Board, defended the right of labor to strike in vital defense industries. She emphasized freedom of decision on the part of the worker, declaring that although "some people are thinking we ought to put a stop to this sort of business," strikes cannot be clamped down upon without the surrender of something 'precious' to every American.
Speaking before fifty members of the New York Club Presidents Roundtable, meeting at the Hotel Pierre, Mrs. Herrick praised Congress for refusing to pass legislation that would make criminals of strikers.
She cautioned against an emotional attitude toward the present strike situation, one of the many complexities, she said, that have arisen because of the national emergency.
