elected to the British parliament by
London district, is one of the best
known labor leaders in the world. AS
a municipal statesman and parliament
tartan he has also gained fame. He is
to the working people today what
John Bright was to the commercial
classes some forty or fifty years ago.
John Burns has had stormy career
Many times has he been arrested and
put into prison for taking part in
strike riots. but the powerful speeches
which he made at the trials secured
his acquittal with his colleagues. AS
a member of the London county coun-
ell he has accomplished wonders. The
local authority works it's men only
eight hours day. and insists that all
contractors it employs for building,
ETC., shall do the same. Besides re-
ducing the hours of labor in London
