GUARDOFFT0-DAY.
ON 9O-MILE HIKE
Fourteenth and Seventy
first To Be Gone for
Eleven Days.
tBy Telegraph IN The Trbune.l

McAllen, Tex, Aug. 15.-The eleven
day hike scheduled for the infantry
starts tomorrow morning at 5 o'clock,
when the list Regiment will leave here
and the 14th will start from Mission.
The Sd Regiment will leave Pharr the
day after tomorrow. The march will
cover approximately ninety miles to
Young's Ranch and return. TheHd, 7th
and 23d regiments will leave their
camps on August %, and the 69th, 18th
and 74th five days later.
The majority Of the men will leave
without their money. An attempt will
be made to catch up with the list at
Mission tomorrow to pay them what
the state owes. Failing in this they
will be followed to Sterling's Ranch
where a branch postoffice is to be in
stalled to accommodate the men who
wish 10 send money home. The I'd Field
Artillery, which has already received its
pay for June from the government, was
paid by the state for the same time this
afternoon, as was also the signal bat
talon.
The regiments leaving tomorrow will
take a three days supply of food, but
the water question is yet to be tried
out. 1t is said that water is plentiful
as far as Sterling's Ranch, after which
the supply is problematical.
Major J. Scott Burton, of the I'd
Regiment, to-day succeeded Lieutenant
Robert Mclean, of the 7th, as head OF
the military police. The appointment
is for thirty days.

General Committeeman
Called to Washington

L. f. Shepherd, a railway brother
hood official, said last night that he
had received orders from A. B. Garrett
son, grand chief of the Brotherhood of
Railway Conductors, to report to him
in Washington to-day and to instruct
the members of the general commit
tee, now in this city, to do likewise.
Mr.. Shepherd said he had no details
of the reason for the urgent call for
the committeeman, but he supposed
they were wanted so that they could
decide in a body what future course
should be taken. The delegates will
start for Washington on early trains
this morning.
1t was announced late last night that
the general committee would hold a
meeting here this morning, at which
w. S. Carter, president of the Brother
hood of Firemen and Eng who
left Washington last night for New
York, was expected to be present.

Yale Batteries Reject
Special Federal Favor

TObyhanna, Penn, Aug. 15.-Mem-
bers of the four Yale artillery bat
teries in camp here went unanimously
on record to-day as opposed to any
Federal discrimination in their favor
by which they will be prevented from
going to the Mexican border with the
other units of the National Guard.
The recent announcement that all
units having a majority of college
students would be mustered out of
the service soon after September
directly affected the Yale battalion,
which has 500 or more Yale men, most
of whom are undergraduates with the
better part of their college careers
before them.
These men, who have been going
through the most intensive sort of
training since early in July, feel
strongly that they should be sent to
the border with the other National
Guard organizations, and that no dis
elimination should be made in their
favor merely because they are college
men.

Hedley Urges Men
Not to Join Union

In an effort to dissuade employees of
the New York Railways Company from
joining the union, Frank Hedley, vice
president and general manager, adj
dressed two meetings of carmen last
night, proposing that they organize an
association separate from the Amalga-
mated Association and intimating that
the men who held aloof from the union
would receive special compensations
and privileges. About five hundred
men listened to him at the Ninety
ninth Street barns and about seven
hundred at the Fiftieth Street barns.
Mr.. Hedley explained he had come
to talk about the one weakness which
he and Mr.. Shonts had been able TO
discover in the New York Railways
Company lack of a channel Of
communication between the men and
their employers.
I'VE don't intend TO let a situation
arise in which you men cannot act
exactly as you want. What want you
to do is 20 pick out the very lest men
you can find 70 represent you-men
who have nerve enough, sense enough,
men who are men enough to come and
tell US your troubles. Whether it has
to do with your runs, your swings,
your sanitary conditions, or If you
don't feel that you're getting enough
wages, be men enough TO tell Us.
A Yelled Promise.
Remember this-the men that don't
join the union are certainly going to
get as much money as those that do
II is left entirely TO the management
If the men that don't are TO receiy,
compensations and rewards that the
other men do not"
Mr. Hedley referred TO the strike
settlement agreement executed By
Mayor Mitchell, Oscar Straus, the men
and the companies as IAN agreement
made with the view of having forth

Federal Strike Measures
Being Planned by Wilson
War Department May Operate rains-President ACCUSED
of Usurping Powers of Mediation
Board

Secretary of War Baker-a thing un-
usual except in the greatest emergency
THAT the War Department might un-
dertakc the operation OF some OF inc
trunk lines is also considered likely IN
case the railways become aosoiuteiy
helpless. IL is pointed out that the
army engineers have made speeia,
study of railroad operation in view OF
the possibility of having to take over
the roads in Mexico in case OF inter
yention. While the corps is not large
enough to take complete charge OF the
transportation OF the country IT IS I'M
derstood that such service could be IN
stituted within month.
Labor Clause a Boomerang.
Senators who opposed the Clayton
act of two wears ago are taking
great interest in the strike develop
ments. They are witnessing the full
fllment of most of the predictions
made then as to the consequences OF
exempting labor unions from the
operations of the antitrust laws. The
clause applying to the labor unions,
which they declare was inserted
merely to catch the labor vote, has
now reacted in boomerang fashion
against the Democrats who passed IT,
Only since the Clayton act was
passed. these Senator'S assert, has IL
been possible for a strike to assume
national proportions. Under the
Sherman law any such threat as the
present could have been dealt with as
the Danbury hatters were dealt with.
The government could have brought
suit against the unions as a monopoly,
and. i'm case of conviction, It's
weapons would have been fines and
Imprisonment. Now it cannot even
use injunction proceedings.
President Powerless.
Thus. as far as authority to deal with
the situation goes, the President is
practically powerless. He can only ef-
feet settlement by appealing to the
factions or by acting as a mediator be-
tween them. He has only the military
force of the government in reserve,
and the unions frankly scott at the
ability of troops TO operate the roads.
While it is admitted that the emer-
gency calls for desperate remedies,
there are many who maintain that the
President weakened his position by at
tempting a task which the Federal
Mediation Board was created 10 do. lie
has set a precedent, it is declared,
that may seriously interfere with the
work of the mediators in the future
and damage the prestige of the board.

CUATEMALAN AVIATOR
HERE BUYING AEROS
Will Select Several for Hangers

Before a man buys an automobile
he should take a ride in ii while its

Of the Guatemalan army. And TO carry

Senior Feiro has been sent here by
his government to buy several aero
planes to add to those already in use
by the Guatemalan army. He is one Of
the leading ayiators of Latin America.

err contemplates buying several, to

nent fail is a quandary. Some say he
might use extra-legal powers, but no
body specifies what. Some say he might
get an emergency measure through
Congress, but what it would be Is De-
logged in uncertainty.
Furthermore, each one OF these nlne-
teen railroad managers who represents
proportionately about one billion dol
lars of investment, their aggregate rep
reservations amounting to one-seventh
of the nations invested wealth, is har-
ried by the probable effects OF ma
tional TRANSPORTATION tie-up. IL is
recognized foct that an engineer is a
trained man and that efficient locomo-
tive engineers who are not railroading
are few. The President might be able
to guard a system with troops to pro-
tect trains, but the question that ran
road men themselves ask is, wv mere
would he get the men to run the
trains ?"
The turn in the negotiations to-day
was brought about by the following cir
cumstances:
When the President met the employees
Yesterday he was impressed with their
presentation and granted that an eight
hour day should be their lot. lhelr
The President was led to believe that
If the railroads would consent TO grant
the men an eight-hour day, the men
would accept it without further ado,
and therefore the impression grew that
the President had firm ground for
settlement as far as the unions were
concerned, providing the railroads
came to terms.
Roads Discussed All Night.
The proposition was put up to the
roads and they took half the night to
discuss it. Their counter proposition
threw the whole question Of the eight
hour day from the concrete to the
abstract and at that the men baked
absolutely. No principle for them.
give them something definite or quit.
That was their side in a nutshell.
Therefore, when the railroad man
ayers had submitted the result of their
night session to the President his
hopes dropped, and the outlook for
peace was darkened. Whether his en-
deavors with the managers will avail
anything further to-day, so that a
better basis will have been gained on
which to proceed with the men re-
mains to be seen.
The anticipated coming Of the whole
body of delegates, however, makes 1T
certain that not all the conceding must
be done by the railroads. The men
must abandon their tenacious hold on
the punitive overtime in order that a
concession of an eight-hour day from

Guard Ordered to Border
Saturday Will Not Go
at Present.
FUNSTON FEARS
FOOD SHORTAGE
Apprehension Expressed
Lest Recruiting Fall
Off in Future.
fFrom The Tribuns Bureau ]

Washington, Aus. 15.-Acting Score
,ary Of War Ingraham has ordered ina.
until the danger Of general raiiroau
strike is past no more militia uni''
shall 90 to the border. This order
went out to department commanders
last night after warning had been re-
ccived from General Funston OF the
difficulty Of feeding not only the troops
but the civilian population OF Texas IN
case of strike.
Mr. Inoraham's order was not made
public until to-day, and was rece;Veu
with surprise in army quarters ana IN
official circles generally. 1t was ohly
Saturday that Secretary Baker sent OUT
2 special order for all the militia re,
naming in the state camps to proceed
TO the border, and at that time the
strike situation was worse, II anytnlng'
than it was yesterday. The Adminis-
tration also was in possession OF the
facts given in Funston's telegram as TO
the difficulties of supplying the border
troops without railroads.
Baker Not Consulted.
Administration leaders would not
comment on Mr.. Ingraham's order fur-
thor than TO say that he issued 1t with
ont consulting either Secretary Baker
or the President. IL was pointed out,
however. that il was the policy OF the
denartment 10 follow General Funston's
advice in border matters when prac--
ticable and that Mr.. Ingraham acted
within this policy.
The regrettable pat of II is, leaders
saw. that Immediately on the issuance
Of Secretary Bakers order Saturday
sending all the state troops to the Dor
der recruiting was stimulated wonder
fully. Now that the order has been
countermanded, however, it is feared
that not only will recruiting fall oil
hut that those men who enlisted be-
tween Saturday and to-day will feel
they have been "gold-bricked.'
II is declared also that many Of the
states might hold the Federal govern
ment responsible if a strike occurred
and their citizens suffered loss because
of the summoning of their troops for
border duty when no real emergency
existed.
The Administration. however, has
given no hint that the 'Federalized"
militia might be used for strike duty,
and the publication of General Fun
ston's telegram is held to ibsolve the
government of any such idea in keep
ing the militia at home for the present.
General Funston's Telegram.
Major General Funston's telegram
follows:
am view of possibility o. a general
railroad strike, | desire to call atten-
ton of War Department 10 difficulties
that will follow in maintaining food
supplies not only of troops in this de-
partment but of the civilian population
as well. These border states produce
but little foodstutfs except cattle.
