MILITIA MOVE DUE.
TO STRIKE FEARS.
Impending Railroad Walk-out
Cause of Movement to Bor-
der, Capitol Hears.
By ANDREW n. KELLEY,

Movements OF the remaining units of
the National Guard. now at mobilization
camps. to the Mexican border at once.
has been forced by the prospect of an
impending strike OF the railroad employees,
according to positive Information received
at the Capitol yesterday.
President Wilson does not propose to
see the United States placed in the posi-
ton where an inadequate force will not
be on call in the event OF serious trouble
In Mexico.
From Senators in close touch with the
administration, it was learned yester-
day that the White House. while ex-
ceedingly anxious TO settle the diff
Guilty with the railroads and their en-
ployes, has further purpose in keeping
in close touch with the efforts for peace
In the threatened industrial strike.
There will be no strike by the employees
Of the railroads until the troops now on
duty at camps and ready for entrain-
ment have been sent op their way to
the border and have reached the point
In their journey where a walkout will
not hinder their advance to Mexico.
Representatives Of the brotherhood who
have the interests Of the railroad en-
ployes in their keeping would not ad-
transportation Of the guardsmen had
been discussed. but it is known that this
phase of the situation plays an import
ant part in the immediate peace develop
ments.
The information that the general move
ment Of the militia toward the border
would not be retarded, even by a strike,
served to revive a belief that the nego-
tiations for peace between the officials
Of the defacto government and the State
Department have not reached the stage
where a final adjustment is assured.
With the United states about to uppoint
a peace commission to serve with rep
resentatives OF the Carranza government,
the increase OF the military force on
the border does not indicate that a
lasting peace agreement is imminent
AS Commander in Chief OF the Army
and Navy, the President has the authori-
ty to commend all civil and military
orgauizations to preserve the safety and
peace Of the nation. In this capacity
he can also prevent a general walk
out Of railroad employees. such as would
embarrass the War department in any
effort to rush a force to Mexico, or any
other point where trouble is impending.
