Members Of the First Baptist and Broa(
Street Methodist churches, Of this city
have begun crusade to suppress the nut
sance which they say 10 caused by freigh
trains during service hours on Sunday
| These churches and the Episcopal ant
Catholic are located on Broad street, thu
principal line of the Pennsylvania railroad
through the city. In the last few months
the freight traffic on Sundays has beer
heavy, and, the churchmen allege, ha
greatly disturbed the services. A confer
z ence between railroad officers and Rev
: T. M. Eastwood and Rev. Percy Perrin
chief, pastors respectively Of the Baptis
r and Methodist churches, was held las
: week, when the railroad men were ap
8 pealed to for relief. They promised t.
: give the matter their attention. Tn
/, churchmen are not satisfied with this in
definite answer, and have directed thei
n official boards to treat further with tn
q railroad company in an effort to have tn
v freight traffic discontinued for the morn
!. ing and evening hours of worship on Sur
'days.
