[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTITOR." .. 1 Sin,—With reference to
" Golfer's " letter under the above title in last week's issue, might I suggest that there is an easy way out of the difficulty for all golf clubs within reasonable reach of a large town ? In every town there is always a large number of men who are incapacitated from doing heavy manual labour. Some have been strained at work, some have lost an arm or hand, some are tuberculous. Now these men are clamouring for light jobs which would bring them in from 10s. to 15s. a week. This is about the weekly takings, I pre- sume, of a golf caddie. If golf clubs which are near towns would get in touch with this class of labour, they would be able to use it, thus conferring a great benefit upon the men employed, and avoiding the breeding of more unskilled labour by the employment of lads.—I am, Sir, &c., H.
