Harper Parker

Myles Harper Parker (1864 – 14 Jan 1929)[1] was an English Labour Party politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1922 to 1924.

Three years later, he became a winding engineman, working at the Etruria Hall Collieries and then elsewhere for the Shelton Company.

In 1900, his union became part of the National Amalgamated Enginemen, Cranemen, Hammer, Steam and Electric Tram Drivers and Boiler Firemen, and he served as a district secretary.

He was asked to become the union's full-time regional agent in 1902, but turned the post down as he wished to remain in his trade; but when he was again offered the post in 1907, he accepted it, as he had become concerned that his prominence in union matters might reduce his work opportunities.
