♦ ; 2£t. a recent meeting of fat employers one of : them said two pounds five shillings a week was quite enough for a working co ve with a wife, and family and to support them m go o d comfort. This appeared m the morning, rag. There was no leader on this infamous proposition. Oh no,j In the report mentioned it did not 1 mention the name of the scalliwag'. who said this, but yer can be. sure that he is a toUac«ruard. without douibt., God's truth, how can a man live on.' that ? Yer know that the rent asked: by the landlord even m the slums is. not less than a rqbid a week, that leaves 25 bob a week to support hinw self and fam/ily. I wish that lhe scoundrel who thought the wage enough was known by his name so that ihe could be held up m front of the public as the mean hearted dorg that he is. It is sad t 0 hsar the way that a few" parasites talk about the work- rf ers, yer would think to hear these t scullions talk. that the wage-earners. / were not entitled to receive faicrf treatment, that they are to. be -de* privedofall civil rights, all future? hope. La/bor all the days of .theid lives, for what ? " Mearty that thejS children can become huers of woottf drawers of water to the fat man a-4 foresaid. Then the fat man wonders* how (pretends) a woman, will kill* the babe m her womb. It is easy understood. It is better if a person is never born than fall into the hands 1 of the fat man, far better to be- " thrown to the lions or tigers naked ; than into the hell of the labor market. They knows this well. In this respect f or downright cheek recommend me to the farmers' union, they! have sent up a notice to their members of Parliament. God save the mark to try and prevent the farm' laborers from coming under the Arbitration Act. They are a union themselves but don.t want their over- J worked men to get the benefit of the act. It is like them, give some men a little land and it makes them a beast. Even withcught the milk of human kindness, their whole creed appears to be give to me, and like the horse leech en a barren woman they are never satisfyed. they think that the world is contained m their farm, poor creatures they believe this—^but the laborer' doesn't. The man with the boyangs round hi^ legs is wondering when the Loard will smito them, even as ' Samson smote the Philistine with the jaw bone of' an ass. Old Massey has a strong jawbone and after he is dead they might dig him up to get it so that the prophesys may be fulfilled. Yer never know what they will do. He (Massey) wags it so much that it must be strong through exercise, more . so that his whole object is to waste the iime of Parliament and see how much he can plunder the country out of to give to the cow-spanking dairy farmer so that he will be returned at the next election. He is a cunning old cuss and knows the value of a fl-allon of milk better than any cove m these parts, just so. Massey; through his capers m the House and 1 out of the House is breeding a hatred) between class and class: Town against country, and generally playing hell with a little stick, a very little stick, it is pathetic. If yer beleived the fat man's papers yer would think that Massey was one of Joves thunderbolts sent down to destroy all cores on ttoe face of the yearth exj cept chaps who would worrick eighteen hours a day for ten bob a week,Well, the coves aforesaid don't care a damn for Massev or any of his grisj ley push. He is only the remains o! the late National! Ass. R.I.P. JIM THE* MILK ER.-
