IS TO Be ORDER
Requests for Discharge Too
Numerous and Depart
ment Will Modify
Recent Decision
By HUGH w. RonERTs

Washington. August 3o-t Especial
The war department Will unquestiona-
bly, modify and perhaps rescind its or
der of some weeks ago under the pro-
visions of which college students may
retire from the service of the National
Guard for the purpose of resuming
their courses of study.
Senator Underwood this afternoon,
when endeavoring to secure the i'm
mediate release of several Alabama
boys. was so informed. The department
added that so numerous were the ap-
plications for release on the part oil
college students or prospective college
students that the original order. IL per-
mitted to stand. would mean the ma
terial Gripping of the National Guard.
Applications for release under the or
der have been exceedingly numerous
from Alabama. The department de-
clared that Alabama was no exception
to the rule, and that If all who ap-
piled were granted permission to re-
tire. the guard would be rendered in
effective.

Washington, August 30.-All
the influence Of the administra-

nation wide strike Monday,

paving the way for legislation
designed to prevent or stop the

was made in either direction,
but nevertheless in official
quarters tonight there still pre-
vailed confidence that in one
way or another the walkout
would be averted.
To the spokesman of President will
son who approached them, all of the
brotherhood officials gave the same re-
ply: That they had no power to recall
the strike order and that only one
thing-"a satisfactory settlement
could keep their men at work after Z
a. m. Labor Day. Further pressure will
be brought to bear and as a last re-
sort the President is considering a pub
lie appeal to the men themselves to
have the order rescinded.
PROPOSED LEGISLATION
Apparently the legislation which is
being counted upon to stay the broth

commerce and provide for an investi-
