WANTED AN EASY BILLET.
A Niew lYork paper rfecordls the folilowCng incident in connection with the big strike in the building trades:— "I want to see the boss of the town;," saidi a visitor to the Oity Hfall yesterday. "And I want the freedom of the oity. I've got a po,em to pay for it?' Tbie was his poem•:-— "
I want to be a striker. And with the strikers stand ; A oarpentier or driiUay... Or just a plumber's hand.
The pajjers boost the rich mom down, And boost the striker up; The rich man's in the mire and soup, The striker's at tike top.

With such an easy business, A thousand! years I'd span; I want to lose my measly wealth And with the striker stand. J
