WESLEYAN
METHODIST CHURCH

Not too long ago, | saw
a motto which read
Keep the Home Chris
tian."
The chief concern of ev-
cry husband and wife
should be to maintain a
christian home, a home
where love reigns, where
sacrifice is recognized
as essential, and where,
understanding, helpful
! ness, and wise discipline
are the practice of daily
living. The doorsill of
the home is the founda-
ton of all proper soci-
ETY.. He who holds light
ly the vows upon which
his home was built is
shallow in his thinking
and corrupt in his heart,
and he will. soon drink
the bitter cup of re-
morse and endure the
shame of planned folly.
Take God into your
home! A home that is
christian is a church
within a church; a state
within a state; an en-
pire within an empire;
a world within a world
this is a home. Let's
keep the home Christianl

By the Associated Press

A labor union lawyer today
challenged a Pennsylvania Rail
road officials suggestion that
wage increases helped force the
railroad into its proposed
merger with the New York
Central.
william P. Mahoney, counsel
fro the Railroad Labor Execu-
tives' Association, said it was
erroneous to show that these
costs have gone up while reve-
nues have gone down."
Cross-examining the Penn
sylvania's board chairman at
an Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiners hearing on
hte merger plan, Mr.. Mahoney
said increased labor costs had
ben more than offset by in
creased productivity.
James w. Symes. the Penn
sylvania official. said he had
no figures to disput this.
Without the figures I would
agree in principle that your
statement is correct" Mr..
Symes said, But so WHAT"
He said the railroad, because
Of capital expenditures in
volved in undermining equip
ment. had to get more produc-
ton per labor unit to survive.

But he expressed doubt tina
the force would continue Il
shrink at the 3 to 4 per cent
annual rate Of recent years. He
said the rate would probably be
less because the merged rail-
roads would need personnel for
construction of new facilities
and because Of deferred main
tenance.
A major point Of the merger
hackers has been that the COM
bined Penn Central would
stabilize employment. Mr..
