Suggestions by Guards Officers
Followed in Preparing Re-
organization Bin.
HOUSE MEASURE DIFFERENT
Avoids 0bIlgating Citlzen-SoI-
diers to Do More Than Obey
Presidents Lawful Orders.

Suggestions OF OFFICERS of the national
guard for real liberalization OF the or
CANNED militia have been followed In
the Senate Military Committee in pre-
pairing the army Reorganization bill.
The national guard features OF the
bill are based on q measure proposed
BY the National Guard Association and
introduced by the chairman OF the
committee. Senator Chamberlain OF
oregon.
This bill provided form OF enlist
ment contract TO be signed by officers
and men OF the national guard, obli-
eating them to serve within OF without
the continental limits OF the United
states when ordered to do SO by. the
The national guard convention rec
commended two years OF active Federal
service. The Senate committee has in
creased this to three years.
Unlike the Chamberlain measure.
known also as the Senate committee
bill. the bill of Chairman Hay. Of the
House Military Committee has avoid
cd obligatinR the National Guard to
do more than obey the lawful orders
CT the President Of the United States"
in the event OF the.guard being trans
ferred to the regular forces.
Thus IL raised the questio OF what
would be lawful orders OF the Presi-
dent, concerning sending guards out
OF the country In timo of war. The
marked difference between the Ian
guage OF the Senate bill and that Of
the House bill in this respect is i'm
portant, and probably will be tho sub
jcct OF much discussion orb the floor.
The Senate committee. while con-
ceding II to be a moot point whether
the President has authority or would
have under the proposed bill to order
members Of the National Guard to
enter foreign country. such as Mex
President is possessed Of this author
ity and would put on those who be.
lieve he does not possess II the bur-
den OF proving their contention.
The House bill avoids the point alto
gether. although not In terms restrict
Ing the power Of the President. II Is
thought by some that q court decision
would be necessary to decide exactly
what latitude the President would have
In ordering the guard out Of tho coun-
try.
House bill In this and other respects
10 less forceful and thorough than the
Senate measure. and II v not be
surprising II Congress. before It gets
through. adopts the Senate committee
provision.
Theas Senate committee refused to
adopt the recommendation that the
militia in time OF war constitutes q sepa-
rate army. Thel Hay bill seeks to at
tempt to retain the structure of the
National Guard In time OF war.
The Senate bill would wipe out dis
tinctlon between the National Guard
and regular army In war time. Section
1903, OF the Chamberlain bill. places the
militia, when called into the service CT
the United States, directly under the
laws and regulations governing the
regular army.
Both bills make the enlistment period
in the National Guard six years. the
first three years with the colors and
the remaining three years In the Ma
tional Guard reserve.

FEW ITEMS REMAIN.

There are few controversial items In
the remainder of the bill. and Mr.. Byrns
believes the House will become en-
broiled in the fight over the Govern
ment clerks by the middle Of the after
noon.
Although members regard II bad form
to forecast the opinion OF a presiding
officer on a point OF order to be raised
against any item in a pending bill, 1t
con be said the general impression in
the House today Is that the Boriapd
rider is doomed bit Of legislation.
That the presiding officer. Congress-
man Crisp of Georgia will sustain the
point Of order. and thus kill the Bor.
land provision for an eight-hour day
for Government clerks Ia exceedingly
probable.
II Point Is Sustained. "a.
When this point Of order Is sustained
the fight Of the Government. clerks and
their friends In Congress. ss we'll as the
American Federation Of Labor which
has rendered valuable aid IN creating
sentiment against such hasty legislation,
will have been won.
Although, II is understood. that Mr..
Borland will offer a substitute para
graph II the paragraph in the bill Is
killed by a point OF order. the BELIEF
afnonS Congressmen in charge of the
clerks fight is that such a course VIII
be unavailing.
Congressmen Mondell, Austin. Hamill.
Gallivan. and Smith (of Jdaho) are pre-
pared to argue that an eight-hour day
rider is not germane to an appropi IA
tion bill. even under the Holman rule,
though 1t should be presented in several
different forms.
The principle of the issue is the same
they say-ill-considered legislation on
an appropriation bill and nothing actu-
ally to show that a reduction OF Gov
eknniental expenses will be Immediately
accomplished.
-. To Be Within Rule.
To be within tn Holman rule. they
say, It must be shown conclusiVely that
LEGISLATION retrenches expenditures--else
Il cannot have place on an annual sup
ply bill.
Advance interest in the fight over the
hours of the Government clerks was
shown as the House prepared to ad-
journ late yesterday.
CONGRESSMAN Austin OF Tennessee
asked unanimous consent to address the
House for ten minutes Immediately
after the reading of the Journal to-
morrow"
ION what subject?" asked Mr.. Bor-
land, who reserved the right to object
"It will not be on the subject OF the
Boriand rider. said Mr.. Austin, al
though I expect to be here and take
part in the debate on that matter later
in the day" !
'Congressman Borland smllingly said
he had no objection to Mr. Austin's
proposed speech on another topic. Mr.
Austin is one OF the leaders In the fight
against the Borland rider and VIII take
part In the, debate both on the poin'
of order and on the merits of the rider
