Mr. Burns At DENVER,

The labor convention which will begin its
sessions at Denver tomorrow promises TO be
one Of the most important In the history or this
country. For this there are various reasons.
The scope Of the gathering IL more comprc-
hensIve than that Of any other. The present
Is time OF social unrest and aptitude for
change The last few months have been marked
with Industrial disturbances OF unique char
acter and unprecedented magnitude Novel and
revolutionary plans Of social reform have been
put forward and have won wide acceptance.
Other symptoms OF similar import might also
be mentioned. But paramount perhaps to any
and all OF them in its significance toward the
whole future OF American industrial society IL
not to the American political State. is the fact
that Mr. John Burns will attend and take part
In the proceedings Of the convention.
Mr. Burns. who has now been In America a
week. has not come hither as a mere observer.
He is not that kind Of man. Passive receptvlty
Is not I'm his nature Wherever he u.s. he is
bound TO be a positive and aggressive force.
Doubtless he Is, so far as his opportunities per-
nit. observing and studying American institu-
lions Still more, however. he Is seeking 10 i'm
press himself and his views upon those insitu-
tons He has come partly as a student, but
more as q teacher. OF this he makes no secret.
81 consider 1t my duty" he says, ito give my
advice to the American labor movement" and
he adds that he has come ito try to bring
"about community Of interest between Ameri-
"can and English labor" This latter feature
Of his mission Is fully recognized, and was prob
ably expected and desired by the leaders OF
organized labor in this country who are re-
sponsble for his presence here That he will
thus be one Of the most conspicuous fgnres at
Denver is certain. II Is equally certain that he

should count for much toward the attainment
Of his ends.
