PENNSY MEN
DISSATISFIED?

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
TRENTON n. j., April 22.--lt is un-
derstood on good authority that the meet
ing held In the Arcade Building last Sum
day by local Pennsylvania railroad engi-
neers, firemen and trainmen was not for
the purpose of demanding ten per cent.
increase as has been reported. The OBJ
ject OF the meeting, according TO well
based reports was TO receive the report or
a committee which met "a like body rep
rosentlng the railroad company last week
concerning the respite the men have 10
submit TO since the voluntary six per
cent. increase granted by the company
several weeks ago. The railroaders say
that as long as they are compelled TO
submit to the respite the six per cent
raise means practically nothing TO them.
For instance. If a crew is six hours maxi
ing trip TO Jersey City they are very
liable TO be given so many hours OF re-
spite that they are not able to make the
money they did previous to the six per
cent. increase. which was before the re-
prieve went into effect
The result Of the meeting of the en-
ployes and railroad officials could not be
learned. Several brotherhoods OF the rail-
road are concerned In the move. They
are. Brotherhood cf Locomotive Engl-
neers order OF Railway Conductors,
brotherhood OF Locomotive Firomen and
order OF Railway Trainmen. Every local

Heart toHeart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYB-
THE GREATEST THING.


Once upon a time an Engllshman
wrote a book entitled "The Greatest
Thing In the World"
OF course you know the theme he
wrote about. There is only one great
est thing.
Take that out and life would not be
worth the living 1t is the only torch
that llghtens the way. the way which
to all Of us sometimes grows dark
and dreary.
And love is eternal.
It lives in the hearts Of the old as
well as In the hearts Of the young.
Youth is its budding season. It's BIOS
som and its fruitage come with the
passing Of the years. Love grows the
stronger as hearts grow older.
Love is a tender blossom.
Like a delicate plant. 1t needs the
sunshine. II It grows and thrives It
must be nourished. If you shut it
away in the dark and silence It will
wither as the flowers wither. And
It will die as the flowers die. II must
have attention. 1t responds to care
And yet love does not ask so much.
It is easily satisfied 1t will treas.
ure up the memory of n single kiss
for long. For many a day Il will still
feel upon a weary shoulder the touch
of loving hand tenderly laid How 1t
thrills at the meaning smile. and how
eagerly it responds to the spoken word.
We let love grow dumb for want Of
expression.
Contradiction Of human nature! We
allow the trivial things. the vexations
OF the day. the small annoyances of
the moment, to stand In our way
while the hearts we love slowly starve
for want of the language of love. Is
it not so?
|. Worse than that
Sometimes. when we forget, we al
low ourselves the bitter tone, the
harsh spoken word. even the deliber-
ate and studied unkindness and neglect
all this to those we love the most!
But for our own the bitter tone.
Though We love our own the best
Why do we do this? Why select
our own. only TO remember when II
is too late how much we loved themG
Lie is so short And without love
it is both barren and bitter. Why. q
soul OF man or woman. should yoJ
Willingly lose so much Of your little
day?
Let not the sun go down on that day
whose eventide brings no recollection
of thoughtful kindness. a kiss. a smile
a tender word. to those you love.
Do not wait to wall out over a cof
fin lid your regrets of those thing
you might have done. the words yol
might have said.
