In the women's garment indus

trial. thru the difficult period Of

the cleveland plan Is workable
and satisfactory both to employ
er and employee.
The plan was worked out In con
nectioa with = wage decrease OF 10
per cent. The question Of the rcduc'
ton was plaeed before board Of ref
erees. Their decision allowed nan.
ufacfurers TO put the reduction into
effect provided they set aside week

as an unemployment fund.
Acceptance Of this plan was cp-
tional with the employers. those not
accepting Il 20 continue at the old
scale and TO set aside IA per cent

This was to take care Of the smaller
manufacturers.

BALA GOLFERS
ABANDON STOVE
Modern Locker House With 357
Lockers to Be BuiIt-An-
cient Hallmark Goes :
WORK WILL START TODAY
BY SANDY McNIBLICk

THE Bala Golf Club is stepping out.
L Announcement has already been
made of the radical and modern i'm.
provcments in the clubhouse and of the
big addition from nine to eighteen holes.
Also of the invitation which will be
held in early May. the first invitation
tourney in the Philadelphia district this
year.
But the club is not stopping. No
improvement is being overlooked and
nearly every meeting brings out some
new plans.
Now 1t Is the locker house. The little
old white "shed.' you might say. which
holds so many pleasant memories. Is
going to be entirely reconstructed.
Work on it started today. Thousands
of dollars will he spent on the new
building.
The Old Stove Goes
Al q meeting on Friday. the members
approved n plan for the reconstruction
of the locker house. including the in
stallntion of u modern heating plant.
With the installation of the new
heating plant there will pass into his
tory another Bala institution-thc old
time coal stove. l.nln has Il monster
heater with vOracionS appetite around
which it was the wont of the winter
golfers to sit and swap experiences.
like the country crossroads store. This
idea of gathering about the big stove
extended back to the first days of the
CUB. ard has occn maintained ever
Stree as a sort of institution.
Many OF the country's most prom-
nent golfers have sat about the old
stove. which is soon to pass into the
discard. and rccountcd various weird
and interesting golf stories.
The plans for the rebuilding of the
locker house were prepared by William
NJ. Grove, chairman Of the Rebuilding
Committee. and the work will be done
under hii direction. When the changes
have been completed bala will have one
of the most modern and best ventilated
locker rooms in this section of the coun.
Try. TIE changes provide for 357 large
lockers with ample floor space and cy-
cellent showers. Special facilities will
be arranged outside the locker room
for the caddics. The cost of the work
on the locker house is estimated at
$4,000.
Clubhouse Finished
The rebuilding of the clubhouse has
been practically completed at n cost
approXimating S11 900. some additional
improvements having been made which
were rot originally contemplated. such
as the laying of walls heavy enough to
carry an additional story over the new
dining and dance room. if an additional
floor is desired.
The contract for the building of the
new eighteen hole course has not vet
been awarded. but bids are now being
received and the contract is expected to
he awarded within few days and ac-
tual work started by April I. It has
been decided not to restrict the recon /.
struction committee in any way as to
the building of the course and as a
consequence the committee declares that
the course will compare favorably with
the best in the country. 1t is now
planned to spend $4,000 to $50, 900 on
the construction of the course.
