REV. J. l.. DAVIS IN
 ATTACK ON GOMPERS
Declares A. F. l.. Leader Has Not Got Single Christian Principle, in
 His Opinion.

Speaking of What Kind of an Elm ploye Are You" Rev. John l., Davis at the Everyman's Bible class yester- day took a hot shot at Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor. He said; T do not think he has single Christian prin- ciple. All he talks about is higher wages, shorter hours and better work ing conditions. He doesn't care, evi- dently, If all the women and chil- dren in the country starve to death Just so long as they are not union membe women and children"
 In stating his stand on the labor question. MT. Davis said he does fla vor unions and recognizes mems right to form into unions and also to strike, but 1t is the unintelligent leadership that causes the trouble with labor unions. He said that industrial lead CTS form into combines for mutual protection and 1t Is no more than fair that the workers should do likewise, but the workers have always been on the losing end because they have not had the intelligence to match against the brains of the employers. The great fault with unionism is it's lack of brains and morals, the minister said, adding that just as soon as union men realize that Christian principles are the best and act ac- cordingly their status will rise im- mediately.
 In his talk the preacher referred to the workman who is ever watching the clock, and then said that the only way to make an employe take a live interest in the business of his employer Is to take him into his con- f1dence so that he will know what is going on and will not feel that inher- ent suspicion that somebody is profit ing unfairly off the results of his work. The time is coming, Mir. Davis said, when this will be so, and then, and then only, will the ideal relation ship between workers and employer exist.

vile, Pa, and thence to Mercer hos pital. this city, As the taxicab drew up in front of the hospital jealousy again overcame remorse and Shinn whipped out his revolver, firing one shot Into the head of his companion and another into his own head He died an hour later.
 Last night Mrs, Matthews, only partly conscious, was lowering be- tween life and death, Matthews con dition Is critical, but vigorous con- stitution is in his favor.
 State police and the authorities or two counties have learned that Mrs, Matthews, formerly Florence Baker of Mount Holly had been friendly with Shinn since she was fourteen years old. She married Matthews ar Bristol Pa, in October 1921 While Matthews was in the army Shinn re- newed his attentions, and the police have been informed a marriage cere- mony took place between them.
 About two weeks ago Mrs. Matthews sought a reconciliation with her hus- band and was taken back after prom ising to give up her association wits Shinn.
 Shinn left Philadelphia Thursday night and went to Mount Holly, where he met friend, Charles H. Cliver, and employed John Beebe to drive them to Cookstown
 As the three men entered the Ntch- en on the first visit Clver said to Mrs. Matthews: Which one of these men do you want?" She replied: want my husband. Shinn tried to force Mrs. Matthews to shake hands with him, and this started quarrel, dur ing which the elder Matthews ap- 'peared and threw Shinn out of the front gate and warned him to keep away.
 Shinn. Cliver and Beebe then re- turned to Wrightstown, where Shinn left his companions several times, saying he was going to get some whis- key. Shinn's mood became such that Cliver and Beebe refused to accom- pany him longer. shinn then em- ployed Samuel Goodrich, a taxicab driver at Camp Dix to drive him back to Cookstown.
 Returning to the Matthews home, Shinn confronted Mrs. Matthews in the kitchen, her husband standing just behind her. After firing two shots at the woman he aimed another at the younger Matthews, who evaded it. The elder Matthews then arrived upon the scene and was shot as he tried to grab Shinn Firing another shot at the father Shinn grabbed Mrs. Matthews, whom he half dragged, half carried toward the front gate. the drive to the hospital followed.
 Goodrich, the taxicab driver, will probably be released today as he does not seem to have figured in the shooting

 "The talk of our ctN today is hotel," he said, and we need a good hotel But suppose every Christian would begin to talk about Jesus Christ and his power to make men what they ought to be. What kind of city do you think we would have in year? In our shops and factories the devil gets recruits for service. On every hand you hear pro- fane language and smutty stories. Why don't the laymen do something ?"
 Ministers should not be set on a pedestal contends the preacher. When ministers and laymen come together on equal footing there is bound to be something done. I never feel as proud as I do when some man cries out, Hello there Taylor.
