iSeekirig to overcome the difficulty 

 workmen biU'e had in procuring suit- 

 able boarding accommodations in the 

 country, and recognizing that men are 

 Bcar<«. the Pittsburgh Cut Slower Co. 

 will build a dormJto:y and clubli jase nt 

 its Bakerstown plant. The plans of 

 Architect Paul W. Irwin show a two- 

 story building, with sleeping quarters 

 for about thirty-five men on the second 

 floor and a clubhouse, with reading and 

 writing rooms, shower baths and hot 

 water heating system, on the first floor. 

 The company employs about ninety men 

 in Bakerstown, there being about ten 

 acres under glass. 



The dormitory, an official of the com- 

 pany says, is designed with a view to 

 giving the employees city accommo- 

 dations in the country, which all can- 

 not get when they are quartered in a 

 half dozen or so boarding houses. Com- 

 petent workmen, he added, are hard 

 to get since there is so much work in 

 the city, with its many places of amuse- 

 ment that cannot be had in the country. 

 The clubhouse idea was included in the 

 dormitory as an added means of making 

 life in the country attractive when the 

 men are not on duty.
