 tries-His Reasons Given
 In Interview.
 John G. Gluck who is nationally famous and who has a valued ac- auaintance among the leading man. ufacturers of this country has some decided opinions concerning the worth of Detective William J. Burns.
 MT. Gluck believes that Burns is worthy of a big. testimonial from the manufacturers of this country and he gives his reasons for thinking so in an interview which he gave re- porter today.
 MT. Gluck also speaks out in favor of a separate bureau for the manu- featuring interests of the country.
 Mir. Gluck is widely known in this city by reason of his having brought here at various times many of the foremost public men of the country who have lectured under the auspices of the bureau of national industries of which MT. Gluck is a leading spirit.
 MT. Gluck stated. "On the occasion of my recent trip with Detective
  he is great general, I was able to study him carefully and wholly to my satisfaction Burns is a fate-racer, student of criminology both general criminoiogy the phenomena of crim- inal contagion, recidivation and spe- ciai criminology treating of typical cases, and the characteristics, for in- stance. of the murderer as disting- uished from those of the thief. He is shrewd. careful calculating and camera-eyed. Wonderfully magnetic and inately a human recorder of events of value. Quick. as a jaguar, stealth of a panther, subtle when need be, as a purring tabby cat and strikes with the accuracy and precision Of the adder. He is fearless and bum dle of energy. He trusts no impor- tant details to others. In this respect he is not unlike Napoleon, who in his early career. was a Shrewd identifler and detector if we read between the lines of Napoleons early manuscript.
 .-Pinkerton became f-mous as the result of breaking up A gang of cut throats who dominated but one indus try and operated from one point onIy. Burns broke up gang of cut throats, dynamiterS, murdererS and blackmailers who dominated eighty five per cent of every class of indus try of this nation and operated in and from forty states at the same time. thus impairing the manufacturers rights measured in dollars and cents equal to a flat twenty-five per cent cut in the tariff of the United States.
 "On the eve of a SOcialistic political victory at the seat of the dynamite trial. Los Angeles in the face of mass meetings the constituents of which were inspired by riot talks and the music of bands, which mass meetings were in the hands of over one hun- dred professional agitators and crim- inal money. separatOrs. Right at time when the whole nation waited in breathless expectancy and during period when eighty-five per cent of all the people were saying McNamaras can never be convicted, Burns stag gered the whole world by delivering the dynamite wholesale men killers.
 Two of the most cunning murder CTS the world has ever known had fallen into the Burns trap. Burns had completely .outwitted them, and drawn the fire of the gang upon himself while he scared the McNa> maras almost to death and brought home a complete confession and spoil cd the biggest labor graft that the gang will ever have an opportunity . to filch during their lives to come.
 Do you know that Burns has per- sonally witnessed over thirty exacu- tions during the course of his study of his calling?
 He has served the United States government for Is years during which time he experienced every ramifica- fion of the art of identification, de- tection and protection the latter phase covering anybody from a pres 1dent to a common barn-yard politi- cian-
 Burns believes in and stands by labor agitators.
 Speaking without authority, knowl- edge or consent of MT. Burns, I be- lieve he is today comparatively, a poor man.
 After Dewey sunk the Spanish fleet at Manila, he was heralded as a great hero and presented with a tolx- en of the peoples esteem. Dewey at no time ever impaired his life as did Burns impair his or that of his fam fly
 T believe the manufacturers of this nation should award Burns with a national gift equal at least to the amount of the bribes offered him and which he refused. No less than two hundred and fifty thousand dollars turers are directly benefited by the great and timely work of this great public servant. Pay this man a tri- tute worthy of his work; not so much for what he did but what he refused to do. which was accept a bribe. Pay this man a tribute in cash as an in surance to his family if you like.
 Such men as Burns are born and not made. He is as valuable to our ration in time of industrial-labor war as Grant and Lee were in the time of the late civil war. I make this state rnent direct to the manufacturers AL 20. labor has been awakened and all ready rid of over thirty cut-throat leaders in control of a million honest men and the manufacturer given a quarter century era of dead reckon ing with its labor direct. Had Burns failed only God knows what would have happened between our labor and the manufacturers whose great in- f1ustries invite a million immigrants a year from the shores of the countries Of the world.
 These seek our factories, not our farms. They must be employed or there will be trouble. The testing of the republic will come when men who have had no breakfast and do not ex- pect dinner elect the congress and the president I care not where he was born. I care not what language he speaks, or with what church he bffiliates, the man who is hungry | himself and whose family is starving | IS an unsafe citizen, whether armed |
