Around The

Kowloon Golf Club Caddie System

Abuses Invariably Lead To Trouble

"Cumshaw" Causes Recent Rift

(By "Birdie")

SAY WHAT YOU LIKE about trade unions-in principle they are sound, it is through abuse that they fail. Intended for the protection of the worker, they are sometimes used in exploitation of the employer, and it is against this they must guard.

Out of collaboration between Unions and employers arise equitable conditions of employment, and in a minor sense the caddie system at the Kowloon Golf Club, and at all other Clubs, for that matter, is a product.

A standard wage is offered f· and with the disc system there is an equal distribution of labour. All the caddles are numbered, and in the Clubhouse are metal discs with correspond. ing numbers that are slid into a tube-like gadget from which the numbers are drawn from the bottom one at a time.

As a enddie Anishes his job his disc goes back into the tube on the top and by the gradual removal of those underneath his moves slowly down until it finally reaches Bie bottom ngala nnd is drawn for em- ployment.
