PITTsBURG, PA, December 2S.-The
joint convention OF miners and opera
tors is n session here. The attendance
OF operators is small, among those pres
ent being Colonel w. P. Rend, of Chi
cago; John Burns, the English labor
leader, was also present at the morning
session, but Colonel Rend made speech
against Burns presence and
denouncing his criticisms of
America. Addresses on the
miniug situation were made by Presi-
dent Mcbride, OF the Miners union, and
Colonel Rend. The situation was thor
oughly canvassed and both u,ged
against a strike If it could be avoided.
AT the opening of the afternoon ses-
sion Colonel Rend, as chairman OF a
committee, reported resolution tor the
appointment of a commission of three
miners, three operators and three disin-
terestsd citizens to formulate some plan
TO stop the cut-throat methods.
Colonel Rend, in objecting
To CoMMoNER JOHN BURNS
being granted q seat in the convention,
said:
"Mr. Burns is stranger in America;
il is therefore beftting that he shall
observe the decencies ana proprieties
OF the position that he occupies.
These Droprieties he is constant
ly violating by his malignant
attacks upon our institutions. | would
advise that Mr.. Burns return to the
country from which became to criticise
the customs, manners and institutions
Of his own land, which he will find in
tnitely more deserving Of his criticism
and abuse than anything he can find
here. / know il is the custom for
'blarsted Britishers' TO indulge In i'm
proprleties similar TO those against
which 1 protest in the case OF Mr..
Burns. II is about time for American
manhood 10 resent the offensive con-
duct of these men. l have no objection
whatever to listening TO the views OF
Mr.. Burns upon labor matters or sociol-
ogy. My protest is simply directed
against a glaring abuse that has be-
come in this country il tolerabie. When
Stead came to Chicago he was taken by
the ldnQ Oy many VI OuI l6duiuE ClGl-
zens. He also abused the hospitality of
our city and the properties Of good
breeding by
INDUCING IN CRITICISM
of American matters 10 which he min
gled much of fattery, but more Of hos
tile criticism. AT that time l predicted
that be would return to England and
initiate the example Of other foreign ad-
venturers by writing slanderOus books
about our country. II is time to stop
lionizing characters of this kind"
AS Colonel Rend resumed his seat
there was an uubrOken silence. Mr..
Burns, who stood listening all the time,
moved just little from studied posi-
tiou he had assumed at the beginning.
Chairman Chapman, just trifle cou-
fused, arose, and, In studied words put
the motion to seat Mr.. Burns. It was
carried, there being but one dissenting
vote: Colonel Rend had voted mo"
Not having a voice In the convention
Mr.. Burns had TO remain silent.
