PAY

Boston, Mass.-If the golf caddies
of Boston and the surrounding sub
urban cities and towns have their way
it is going to get their clubs carried
over the various courses and to have
pair of keen youthful eyes watch
where the little white spheres go af-
ter their drives.
With a view toward an increase
from Is to 20 cents an hour, forty
boys who have been employed at the
links of the Woodland Golf club in
Auburndale are In strike. These boys
comprising the entire caddy body at
the links, induced a number of cad
dies employed by the Brae-Burn
Country club West Newton, to strike
with them.
The youths now out intend to make
an effort to prevail upon all other
caddies to follow suit.
