STRIKES A BARBARISM"
Member of Parliament Nozo Here
Says They 4re Unnecessary.

Robert William Perks, NJ. p, who returns to
England on the Celtic to-day. after business
trip of a month in Canada, said yesterday that
the frequent labor strikes in the United States
were an economic barbarism.''
Mr.. Perks, who represents North Lincolnshire
in the House of Commons and is leader os
the Nonconformists, is at the head of the Geor-
gian Bay and Montreal Canal Company. which
has the contract for the construction of the 81.
Lawrence Canal. He is an engineer and has
been associated with the largest engineering
undertakings in England and South America,
including the Manchester Ship Canal, the Sew
ern tunnel, the Buenos Ayres harbor works.
the Barry docks and railway and the Rio
at one time his company had employed the
different undertakings thirty-three thousand men
and that there was never q strike.
"Presid&nt Roosevelt" said Mr.. Perks de
serves credit for his great courage in opposing
the tyranny of the trusts but there is also tyr
amy in the unions. and In dealing with the
combinations he has adopted middle course.
one thing that surprised me here was the nu-
merous strikes. l think they economic bar
barism. All questions arising between employer
and emplOye can be settled without appeal to
arbitration. I have always made 1t practice
to meet the men employed by u.s. and discuss
the problems with them and tell them what we
could afford 70 pay. We never had strike"
The st. Lawrence Canal will cost about s10o -
100000, and If the Dominion government said
Mr.. Perks would adopt the plans 1t ought to be
finished in four years. He will discuss the plans
with Premier Laurier who is now In London.
Speaking of the purpose of and outlook for the
canal. Mr.. Perks said: "T have spent q month
in Canada making estimates. The canal will
enable the shipment Of grain from the West by
way Of the lakes to Montreal In ocean going
steamers. All the trades in the West needing
cheap water carriage will use the canal. Only
the Danube will equal II In tonnage"
Mr. Perks is the principal shareholder of the
Great Central Railroad. and was the organizer
of the million guinea fund for the Methodist
Church in England. He will return to Canada
in September.
