Washington, d. C.--0rders for
the remaining modified units OF
the national guard to proceed to
the border have been suspended
by the war department. No offic-
ial explanation has been made, but
it is known that the delicacy of the
railroad strike situation was the
moving consideration.
The suspension of the order
which would have moved some
$4,000 men to the border, it was
said, should not be taken as an in
dication that the presidents ne
gotiations with the railroad broth
erhoods and the managers have
taken an unfavorable turn, but it
is a measure of caution. 1t was
considered highly undesirable
that all the remaining guardsmen
should be moved to the border,
while there was a possibility of a
railroad strike in which they
might be called upon to preserve
order in some of the states. There
is even the possibility that some
of the troops, in the event of a
strike, might be called upon to OPP
