SAGINAW. Mich. March 13.-In an in
terview here today with the Courier
Herald former President John Mitchell
OF the United Mine Workers said
regarding the recent decision of the Dis
trct Of Columbia Court of Appeals:
1t would seem that the Court of Ap-
peals has quite reversed the decision of
Judge Gould. who issued the recent in
junction against Gompers. Morrison and
myself. The We Don't Patronze List
has not been published since the issuance
of the injunction. Editorially and in
speeches we have continued TO show our
displeasure at certain things, and 1t is
for this that we have been adjudged In
contempt of court.
We have appealed both decisions. that
OF Judge Gould In the issuance of the in
junction and that of Justice Wright In
COMPLETING Gompers, Morrison and my
self for contempt i am convinced that
all fairness was exercised in the trying
of the case Frankly, ] don't see how
they could have rendered any other de-
cision In the matter from the nature of
the evidence brought in"

The Turks were the more frequent

without the cousins nursing greater
anifnosity than is usually left behind
by wrangles among kinsmen. Not till
the Christian era was well advanced
did the chronological name of these

The Chinese chronicles, with charac-
teristic difficulty in using the liquid
letter r." call the Turks 'Tu-Kiue,'
in reference to an. embassy which
Tu-Kiue king sent TO the emperor Of
China in the year $50.
From the earliest times the Turks
were warriors. They were the special
guardians of the Great Wall of China.
They fought with the forces or India,
Iran, Myzantium, Arabia, Egypt at
call Mostly they fought because
they loved to fight.
II was part of their creed long be-

the surest way to win eternal reward.
At first they had no religion They
them embraced Shamanism, an OBJ

A central element in each of the
religions adopted by the Tatars was
that of obedience and reverence for
authority. Rebellion was the worst
crime: This brought two Of the worst
massacres in the history of the world.
For fomenting rebellion the in
habitants of the city OF Herat, 1000

freshly severed heads was erected.
When the ferOcious Turks descend

century they we're masters of Asia
Minor and were beginning to scan the
lands across the Bosporus in Europe.
In the early 14th century the in
vasions Of Europe began. The Turks
conquered during that century all the
Balkan peninsula, and only the war
like temper of the Huns, a people
like them in many ways, prevented
them from ravaging much of Europe.
In 1853, to the horror of Christen-
dom, the Turks took Ccnstantinople,
the old seat Of the Byzantium-Roman
empire. This gave them a solid foot
hold on Europe, which no European
nation has ever been able to shake.
