John Burns, Famous English Labor
Leader. Sailed for Home

Special DlsIatch 10 The Star.
BOSTON. Mass. October 21-John Burns
the famous English labor leader and So
cOlogist the man who is said to have done
more than any one else to defeat Joseph
Chamberlain's scheme sailed from New
York today for home.
Mr.. Burns. 1t appears has been in Ameri-
ca eight weeks incosnito. travelling about
observer of men and conditions. KeI-
logg Durand, who is an old friend ran
across him the other day on the East Side
and he sends the Transcript an interes ling
letter giving the results of several CONVEX
sations with Burns. When asked where
he had been his reply was: 81 travelled 1900
miles out of my way to meet again the only
saint America has produced-Jane AIDA msS
The difficulties being experienced in Chi
cago do not lead Mr. Burns to fear in any
| degree for the ultimate successful result
of the experiment. The principal of muni-
cipal ownership. he believes to be invio-
late.
On the whole MIR Burns feels that the
labor situation in America has improved
over that of twelve years ago In spite of
the many disturbances throughout the coun-
try and the unsettled condition of indus
tries IN many localities he feels that the
general tone of the working classes has
been improved ana that there is an attitude
of broader tolerance manifested on the part
of the employing classes than is indeed
wholesome.
One thing Mr. Burns deplores-the lack of
decision on the part of the young men in
this country toward any of the important
issues of the day. Ii is rare to find a young
man who has really made up his mind on
which side of the fence he is.
Mr.. Durand concludes thus: Three years
ago when | talked with MIR. Burns in Lon
don he was far less hopeful and optimistic
OF America than he is today. IL is mat
ter therefore of some Significance that after
his brief yet intense sojeurn among he
has received impressions which have SO
largely tended to make rosy his view of us
and our life for the attlture which he
now holds toward America is one OF dis
I tinet optimism"

The Matter of Rebates.

The admitted truth Is that the railroads
III the past have Intentionally given rebates
to individuals and have thus ruined their
competitors, and that the giving of rebates
was so general during the decade last past
that very few railroads were exempt from
it. That giving rebates has ceased to be so
general practice is undoubtedly true, but
whether il will return when business grows
dull and competition between the railroads
grows intense in of business depression
no one can tell. The evils of chief moment
today are undue discrimination between
localities i'll rates and between individuals
not in rates but in peculiar privileges. The
new amendments are framed to meet both
of these abuses, well rates excessive
in and of themselves.
Discussing Ohio state issues, Secretary
Taft cordially approved of the adminstra-
ton of Gov. Herrick and applauded him
for his attitude toward the temperance leg
islation framed in the Brannock lOcal-option
law. He discussed the charge of Gov. Her
ricks opponents that he was SubSeryient !
to George Il. Cox and the republican ma
chine OF Cincinnati" He declared tnc
charge grave one-that 1t was new
doctrine in American politics that q man
is to be defeated because of the charact e-
of some of those who vote for him" He
made it plain that he did not approve Whol-
ly of the Cox methods in Cincinnati, but
maintained that Gov. Herrick Should not
be held responsible for them
