of John M. Burn" , M. P. , was IteM at Pan-
enl hnl tonight , followed by n ma ! meetng ,
at whIch Mr. Burns , Frank K. 1 Foster , Miss
I'rances E. Wiard and Lady Henry Somerset -
set were among the Ieakers. ( Every avaIl-
able Inch of room In tlO hal was occupied
hal an hour before the tme of the meetIng -
Ing l , and hundreds were turned away . henry
1,10).1 of Carpenters' union No , 33 , Ilreshled ,
al briefly Introduced "Tho English Labor
Champion. "
: Ir. Burns began by referrIng to the plpa9
ure of being able to allliear In the ancient
an,1 historic city of Boston , which was also
the t court of "Kin" Capital of mnenica " He
then said that the cause of the trades unions I
Is i as great as that of tlo abolitionIsts cf
former years "Ours IB nol a battle of race ,
color or creed , " hue said , "but we are asking
or demanding n better conditIon of things ,
not only for the ( 70,000,000 In America , but
for every lan and woman In the entire
world
"The trades unions were created the day
afer time factory system was born . Puting :
laber l leaders Into prIson wi not stop strl < : ,
It may lessen theIr frequency , but the ) wi
bo moro severe. "
Referring to the Chicago criticism of lila : -
s elf , ho said : "The trades unions should go
Into i municipal Politics , anti when honest
workingmen are In seats of honor man ) '
thllgs t , slch as lunlcpalzlng the street , gas I
s ervice . telegraphs and ether necessities ,
nlccssltes
which would be of great benefit to the workIngmen -
Ingmen i will ho uchleved. The curse of the i
American labor mo\ment Is jealousy , and I
you mUBt remember that when you are khiiimir 1
lng
<
each other In a hel or Jealousy , the monCO- -
lsts l arc only huglglg themselves wIth joy , ,
because your fghtlg will makO It longer
b2fore you wi come to your senses and get L
your just demand. SpeculatIon and monopoly Lt
Is i gollg on more In America than anywhere
else , and I can sel premonItory symptoms ,
which If not guide Into proper channels b3
trades unions , wilt developo a storm In this ) ,
before which the French revolution Is but
a nightmare and the Commune an illusion. "
Miss Wiard and Lady Somerset each aId I
a hIgh tribute to Durls for the ( work he lint I
done as I temperance advocate , as n woman'B
sulraglst and lS a defender of the working-
men anti women. .
At the close of the meeting resolutions were ,
