and if labor is wrong, 'you're
wrong' " Romney said.
"We desperately need in this
country a party that the people
will identify as a citizen's party,

Union Leader
Slaps Proposal
On Strike Curb
WASHINGTON (UPI) Team
ster President James R. I luff a
said today there could never be
such a thing as a "national emer
gency" in peacetime that would
justify government action to end
a strike.
Iloffa told a congressional com
mittee the only time the govern
ment woul'l have the right to take
any such action would be in war
lime. The controversial union leader
said a strike might affect the na
tional economy but there is no
reason why it would have to
touch off a national emergency.
Iloffa testified before tho House
Merchant Marine Committee. Its
chairman, Rep. Herbert C. Bon
ner, D-N.C, has introduced legis
lation that would require compul
sory arbitration in Ihe maritime
industry when oilier means to set
tle disputes have failed.
Bonner proposed a bill as a re
sult of the East and Gult Coast
dock strike late last year.
"You cannot force people to
work, no matter how much power
you have," Iloffa said. "You can
not contain the spirit of people
by writing laws."
Iloffa told the congressmen that
a strike "wasn't the worst thing
in the world." He also argued
that management docs not have
to shut down Ihe wholo industry
when one company is hit bv a
strike.
Iloffa Indicated that if manage
ment and labor, with the aid of
federal mediators, wero left to
solve their problems they could
perform the task.
He criticized those "who know
nuiiiing aDout our problems as
creating "hysteria" and classified
newspapermen and broadcast
commentators in that category.
