Advises Chicago Workmen.
CHICAGO, Dec. c3-"You can never
solve the social problem by strikes. that
is my opinion after twenty years ex-
perience in the movement said Peter
Curran, chairman of the General Fedora
ton of Trades Union Of Great Britain. in
speaking to the workingmen of Chicago
today at a meeting held under the aus
pices Of the Building Trades Council.
, Mr.. Curran came to this country as
the fraternal delegate from the British
Trades Union Congress to the American
Federation of Labor convention, and
represents about 100000 organized work
ers in the United Kingdom.
He is president and organizer of the
Gas Workers and General Laborers'
union, with general 4Off1ces in London.
Mr.. Curran said: IS
After spending mare money in Eng
land during the last twenty-five years
on the Industrial battlefield than would
keep 700 men legislating for our interests
in the houses of parliament, we have
come to the conclusion that we must
have something to say about the max
ing of the laws under which we have
to work, and we must get away from the
old orthodox political parties If we hope
to secure what we seek.
1.-The only possibility of our securing
labor legislation is by sending our own
men to parliament. not as our masters,
but as our servants You never can
solve the social problem by strikes, new
er remedy the social evils of which you
complain ty muscular force. You must
do it through legislation I am in favor
of any laws which would take away the
right of the worker to strike, but 1 am
not an advocate of strikes.
There is only one solution and that
is in common ownership, for as long as
we allow the land and the machinery
of the country to be held as private
monopolies by the few, SO long will we
have industrial disputes and upheavals. :
