JIM THE MILKER.

The other night just as I was going to sleep the bosses wife became very loving she hung around me neck. She says to me Jim me bride it is time tnat yer took the fatman m hand and gave him hell, he is a low beast if ever there was one. I took her to me heart by cripes she is a woman of first-rate knowledge and always speaks the truth. To get a true description of her you must go to the songs of Solomon, where yer will find that a virtious woman is abiove all price and is even likened unto a heap of fine wheat and so she is. Now to get at the fatman no *doubt yer have read the yelps of the fat man daily rags as they have abused the workers of the black ball miners for breaking an award and not them only but every worker , lias been damnably abused, they are like a pack oil hungry wolves on , the trail of a wounded deer. Talk about yer awards , there is not a sitting of the court but soma fat employer is-n'tf fined m small sums for breaking yer award, but yer notice that it is always very small sums, for the reason that yer fat man is v so poor. Why, only the other day the "Times" was fined I i think three fluids for doing the I same trick, but yer don't hear. i much of a howl about that, oh no. [ Now, as a straight-out fact, the New Zealand'' '•dailies have disgraced themselfs m their » attempts to vilify working coves, who are a damned sight homster. coves than themselves. But their aim is to break unions and the law so that they may have the worriting blokes at their mercy. Now this is all very well as regards the fat man no decent cove expects truth, honor or even common decency from them but still their dailie rags often cheat the unthinking. Now about the remidy, it strikes me that yer lean man has the ballance of power m his hands, but the worst of yer worriking coves they won't agree about anything . they split up' into little., tin-pot . sections >where every cove wants his own way and if he' don't get it he goes on his own and don't .give a * damn. ' Yet listen all worriking men you have seventy per, cent, of the voting power of the Dominion. Now with such a power ver would think they could blot out the fat man from politics and they can if they like. I am thinking that it woukl be a good plan to chase out of the House all the well-known cnemys of the workers, all the coves that sneer at honest workers, let them go and put m chaps like Barclay of Dunedin who fights all the time agin the fat pot gutted joker who prances about with a plug hat also a long-tailed coat and ruins coves with usury and rack rents. The workers should have no time for such human vermin, and should.destroy them at the next election. It is enough to make a cove laugh to think that working men and their families should have their faces ground off to keep such trash m purple and fine linen, it aint right and nothing will stop them 1 capers but law. Make them pay taxes so that they will have to part up some of their stolen property. In case coves are m doubt as to who are the enemys of the people there is one sure test, if yer see any bloke praised up m the fat man's dailie rags put a black mark agin his name and vote solid the other way, that is a good plan for ver may take yer oath that yer daily tripe won't crack up anyone who is friendly to the workers, not them. I was axed the other day by a powerfull deputation to stand for the house but the bosses wife is that shoo lr on me that she cant abear to let me out of her sight at night, she is afleared that there ! are too many women prowling about the House for a cove like me to be safe— anyhow I'll consider it.
