Strike Leader Burns Sort 81
Stops Over.
ATTACK ON AMERICAN woRKMEN.

Too Much Pity and Not Any Oash Opens
the Walls of the Britisher's wrath
London Papers Intimate That the Ac-
count Is About Balanced-The Strike
Situation Not Improved-One More
Horrible Woman Butchery-Notes.
LONDON, Sept. 1l.-Burns, the Socialist
leader of the dock laborers, made a speech to
the inen yesterday, in which he denounced
the American workingmen for an abundant
sympathy which consisted too much of
words and was entirely deficient Of more
substantial aid. Addressing a second meet
ing of strikers last night, Burns again as
sailed the American workmen for their fail
ure to contribute money in aid OF the strik-
ers. "With all their Boosting and bluffing,
he said, "they have given nothing. If ever
the dockmen were in position to congratu-
late themselves it is now, for no less than
81 900 was received yesterday alone. Bat
mary a red cent came from America. As
for their sympathy, l would say: 'D-n your
PITY Give us your bob. ,"
Honors Are Pretty Easy.
Some of the newspapers mildly reprove
Burns for his TRADE against American or
gained workmen, and gently point out TO
him that in all the great strikes which have
taken place in America within the past years,
if the English trades unions contributed any
sympathy to their cousins across the water,
it was all they did contribute. Cash has
never been so universally medium of ex-
change as sympathy between organized in
dustry in England and America, and it is
hardly fair for Mr.. Burns to a ter the &C.
copied currency without some notice before
hand. As matter of fact, under similar
circumstances, England has never sent a
penny to American strikers.
Another Compromise Rejected.
The seco I'd compromise submitted to the
strikers for their consideration has met the
fate of the first and has been rejected. This
was n proposal made by Cardinal Manning
on his own initiative, and one which had
not received the approval of the other medi
ators, nor Of the dock directors. 1t provided
for the immediate resumption of work by
the strikers, and the concession of the in
creased pay demanded, to date from Nov l.
Burns told Cardinal Manning that the tenn
per of the men was such that it would be
futile To urge the November compromise
Subscriptions for the benefit of the strikers
continue to flow in, and the result is that
many Of the dock laborers are fsring better
In idleness than they ever did while working
and, though this is only true of the more
shiftless of the men, the fact has potent
influence in postponing the day of settle
