30 Das to Reduce
 The Cost Of Living
Time Limit Set By the Execu- tive Council of Railroad
 Shop Crafts. N

Washington, Aug. 2S.- Industrial peace in the United States depends on Tn the. next ninety days in its cam paign to reduce the cost of living.
 That time limit was tacitly set to- day by the executive council of the railroad shop crafts in suggesting to union. locals throughout the country that President Wilson's compromise offer in response to their demand for higher wages should be accepted pend ing the outcome of the effort to restore a normal price level.
 If the cost of living does not come down, the 500.00O members of the shop crafts, would reserve the right to probably would be associated the re- mainder- of the 2s500.000 railroad em- loves, all of whom have been consid- ering the, same problem.
 :. The letter of the executive council served to compose somewhat the un- easiness felt in official circles over the immediate labor situation and to focus attention on the legal measures being directed by Attorney General Palmer and his assistant, Judge Ames, to take ing hoaroers and profiteers.
 Tn our opinion the letter said. 'the next ninety days wilt bring the entire situation to a head and if a strike is Employees should be willing to join in tn moS ement. share their full measure Of responsibility. and not leave the is sue to be decided by the 22 per cent. of the railroad en.p.oyes represented by the fedet ated traGes.'' JV | Apprehension was evident. however, both in the letter and in the converse . ton of the international officers. that the men might not be willing to ac- cept the suggestion That the question of strike be left in the hands of the executive council and a suspension of work to be ordered only after a req scnable time" had made it clear that such a step was necessary to afford re- lief. The letter said the proposal was certain to draw. criticisms from indi- viduals who have not as yet indicat- ed desire to listen to 4reason'' and that it was conceivable some men would want to rush into a strike now. Officers of the unions declined to haz- ard a guess whether the advice would prevail but hoped that the more moderate. element would dominate the deliberations.
 Attorney General Palmer has said that few convictions for fragrant cases of profiteering and hoarding would end that trouble within sixty days. In order to obtain criminal con- victiops for such persons whom the administration believes to be guilty of bringing the country into more serious danger even than the war with Ger many. amendment of the food control law. now pending in congress is neces- sary. Tha YieS;inlatioh tof impose $5,00o fine or two Years; imprisonment or both for vfolatiOn Of the law has been reported out in both house and senate, but neither has acted on 1t.
